Y See by the Fapers ee QUOTE OF. THE MONTH A scientist can call nothing im- possible. Since a scientist can only say ‘something is impossible in terms of present knowledge,’ one need only add a source of energy unknown to us in our biological and physiological sciences to make mir- acles probable. In our scriptures this source of energy is identified as the power of God. Dr. John R. Brobeck, Chairman University of Pennsylvania Department of Physiology io) THE SPIRIT OF THE MOUNTAIN Spee WHOLE problem of what isn’t so—and we on this magazine hear plenty of talk about that —is complicated by the con- fusing problem of what 7s so. To cite a strange though minor case reported by Hugh Halliday in the Toronto Daily Star, the na- tives of a tropical dry region of Southwest Puerto Rico were ex- tremely familiar with a ghostly night sound that they came to call the “spirit. of the mountain.” No- body ever identified it as anything but a spirit. Ornithologists at the University of Puerto Rico thought maybe the By Curtis Fuiler “spirit of the mountain” cry was made by a bird and they recorded the sounds and sent tapes to other ornithologists. But no one recog- nized it. A member of the staff of the Ornithology Laboratory at Cor- nell University got a bright idea. He took the recorded sound and went to the area where it was re- corded and set up nets and singing perches. Then he played the sound. A bird flew overhead and was shot. It turned out to be a species of whippoorwill that has been believed extinct since 1888. So, at one moment two “facts” were shattered. The first was that the strange cry in the. night was

8 made by a spirit. That was a “superstitious” fact. ‘The other “fact” is that the species of whip- poorwill was not extinct. That was the “scientific” fact. Neither was true. Is there really any essential difference between these two un- truths? They have been replaced by two new truths—that the sounds are made by a whippoorwill which is not extinct. But now suppose a number of other ornithologists get on the trail and bring back more specimens, thus making the bird “truly” extinct this time. The truth again will change. CO MYSTERY OF THE SEICHE EOPLE WHO live on the shores of Lake Michigan are more or less familiar with seiches and have been led to believe that the seiche is caused by a change in air pres- sure. _To persons living elsewhere, let us explain that during a seiche (pronounced says) the water lev- els along the lake shore change rapidly and markedly. This past spring, the water in Belmont Har- bor, Chicago, rose three feet, then dropped 914 feet, exposing the bottom —all within a few min- utes. In 1954 the water suddenly rose 10 feet in Montrose Harbor, Chicago, and drowned eight per- sons. FATE The seiche comes without warn- ing; it generally cannot be seen approaching. It is not a tidal wave and often is no wave at all. It has been likened to water sloshing back and forth in a pan. Furthermore, it occurs only in a few places in the world —the Great Lakes, Lake Geneva, Loch Earn in Scotland and _ Lake Vattern in Sweden. With ail the glib explanations though, we want to tell you some- thing. No one really understands what makes a seiche; in fact no one is even sure just where the name comes from. CO POSTSCRIPT RANK EDWARDS’ article in July Fate, “Those Lost Soviet Astronauts”, was picked up by hun- dreds of newspapers all over the United States and even brought a reply from Radio Moscow. Since its publication there have been additional hints that all has not been as perfect about the Rus- sian space program as the Russians have claimed. The Sunday Telegraph of London, in a signed article by science cor- respondent John Delin, says there has been a pause in the Soviet space program because of a series of space failures in which at least nine astronauts have been lost. Early in July, according to the Telegraph, Russian armed forces

I SEE BY THE PAPERS broadcasts were accusing missile launch crews of “serious short- comings” leading to “bungled launchings.” A Swiss weekly, Die Weliwoche, published an article by Italian Journalist Ricciotti Lazzero claim- ing 13-Russian space shots since February, 1959, have failed. Two Russian astronauts known to have been lest,.says Die Weliwoche, are Serenity Schibolin and Piotr Dol- gov. The latter is specifically men- tioned by Edwards and pictured in FATE, oe) CORRECTION, PLEASE T IS ALSO time to correct the “official” explanation from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration that the objects filmed by Joe Walker’s cameras on his record-breaking flight of the X-15 were ice flakes. Following John C. Ross’ article in August Fate, we have tried without success to get the NASA report which backs up their claim that the objects were ice flakes, came from the fuel tanks and were caused by liquid oxygen. Apparently, the facts now have outrun the report because when Maj. Bob White flew the X-15 to a new record on July 17 he per- sonally saw an object that couldn’t have been an ice flake.

Io could have been ice or debris. from the X-15’s fuselage. Then, he told the Associated Press: “Through my left windshield I saw something that looked like a piece of paper the size of my hand tumbling slowly outside the plane. I haven’t any idea what it could be. I don’t know that it was paper. “T paid attention to it for about five seconds. It was grayish in color and about 30 to 40 feet away. I couldn’t watch it any longer. I had a few other things to do. Even if it was the St. Louis Post-Dis- patch, I’m sure I couldn’t read it.” With all credit to Major White for his witticism, we wish to point out a few facts before we let it drop. First, White reached an alti- tude of 310,000 feet or 58.7 miles, which is 64,000 feet higher than Joe Walker reached. It was near the top of his flight that he saw the tumbling paper-like object. Second, the five seconds he had it in view actually covered a distance of five miles during all of which time the object was 30 to 40 feet off his wing tip. That’s quite a distance for a piece of paper to cover in five sec- onds. mang We have no idea what Major White saw but we think one moral is pretty clear; NASA ought not to be so hasty with pat and un- substantiated “explanations” of what its cameras and/or its pilots see way up there. FATE FINAL REPORT .O YOU WANT to know what the mysterious object that ex- ploded over Siberia in 1908 really was? We are speaking, of course, of the Tunguska meteor that felled trees over an area of 700 square miles. Moscow Radio reports that the Soviet Academy of Sciences has issued another and “final” report on this phenomenon. The Acad- emy’s conclusion: It was a comet that blew up and rained fragments on earth. The Soviets investigated records in foreign countries and report that the light given off by the object as it plunged toward earth was seen only east of the Greenwich Merid- ian in the British Isles. The Soviets narrowed down the reported sight- ings of the light and concluded that it came from the tail of a comet. These tails always point away from the sun. They further concluded that the comet’s head exploded at a time when the tip of the tail, preceding it in flight, was about 19 miles from. earth. See you next Tunguska-final- report-time! oa) NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH EFORE WE leave this matter of what is or is not the truth (though actually we never really

Lysenko became a subject of in- ternational controversy in the days _ of Stalin when he insisted that his experiments showed that changes imposed on a plant or an animal during its lifetime are inheritable and can be passed on to succeeding generations. Lysenko’s ideas were in favor because they accord with Communist political dogma and it is claimed he set Russian plant ex- periments back 20 years. Western and orthodox Russian botanists and geneticists claim, con- trary to Lysenko, that changes in heredity can come only from with- for lieutenant governor of “FATE in. They say that the genes which carry the heredity factors are rela- tively stable and that plant changes come about only by natural selec- tion. Mutations are explained as being caused by accidents, such as radiation effecting changes on the genes, or the like. Now, what do you think has hap- pened? A British agricultural botanist, Dr. Alan Durrant of the Univer- sity College of Wales, has been able to change the size of flax plants by treating them with different com- binations of fertilizers and then these plants pass on these changes to generations of plants bred from them. Lysenko, here we come — again! CO UNKNOWN BENEFACTOR ED THACKREY of the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner re- cently interviewed -Mrs. Nelly Szajner, who has been living in the United States for 17 years now, and learned the miraculous details of her escape from Russian occupied Poland. Mrs. Szajner, her husband Stan- ley, and their two sons were on a train on the last leg of their flight in East Germany, fully realizing they would be shot if captured. On the train was a tall man, about 30, dressed as a civilian, with light brown hair, blue eyes and a neatly

They got off the train at a border town and tried to lose the man. They went to an inn to eat—he was there sitting in a corner, watch- ing them. “T walked to him as to my ex- ecutioner . . .” Mrs. Szajner told Thackery. But the man smiled, offered help, and drew a map that guided them to safety through a complicated route with Mrs. Szajner taking charge. When they finally had reached the American zone Mrs. Szajner broke down and wept. She showed her husband the map she had been using and told where she had obtained it. But let Mr. Thackrey end his story ... ““Miy husband looked at me strangely, Mrs. Szajner went on. “What man?’ he said. ‘I saw no man!’ “Tn the train compartment — and then again in the tavern,’ I said. ‘The man I spoke to there in the tavern...” ““But my husband only shook his head.

An excited policeman radi- oed headquarters that an airliner was burning in the sky. Witnesses said colors were blue, red, gold — all the colors of the rainbow. Seattle, Wash., July 31— A brilliant white and blue object was seen by weather observers and from the control tower at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport and by hundreds of other persons, about 10:45 P.M. The object moved horizontally about 35 degrees above the western horizon and appeared to disintegrate after a few seconds. Then it flared up even brighter and seemed to die out. It caused mo- mentary barometric changes in Seattle, Olympia and Toledo, the weather bureau reported. Liberal, Kans., August 2—A series of bright colored UFOs lighted the runways of the airport here about 8:45 P.M. Capt. Jack Metzker was flying a Central Air- lines plane from Wichita to Amar- illo.

The boys and girls (watching the nightly show) answered in a chorus that if that was a house light, it was the first one they ever had seen that danced and changed colors. And, by golly, it did. “Tt started glowing bigger and bigger and giving off a diffused orange, then red, then yellow light. For a full five minutes the light glowed like a dying ember. Then things started happening. “The lights began to dance. 17 They flickered eerily up and down like a bouncing luminous ball, then darted sideways. The single ball of light appeared about three feet in diameter . . . During its fantastic flight back and forth it changed colors: first orange, then yellow, then red. But it stayed in one gen- eral area, behind what looked NG a sparse growth of trees... “In the tree line the light had changed colors again and was be- ginning to get more active. Sud- denly a piece of the glow broke away. and started a rapid bouncy course across the field in front of us. It looked like a luminous bas- ketball, and about the same size.

» the furry men of Europe What were these mysterious creatures—shown with strangely human characteristics in old drawings? PRELIMINARY SEARCH through some bestiaries and other medieval European illumi- nated manuscripts has brought to light a number of illustrations of creatures called ““woodhouses”, wode- houses, Wudewasa, or simply “wild men.” They are shown completely cov- ered with long hair or fur and hav- ing certain other specific character- istics. They are readily distinguish- able from depictions of apes and monkeys on the one hand, and people in costumes playing parts of these wild men in traditional, re- ligious, or secular plays and car- nivals on the other hand. Because of the overwhelming 25 by Se a3 See number of illustrations known to exist of these wild men, because of the diverse historical periods and wide geographical distribution of the artistic depictions of them, and be- cause of the basic similarities of these representations it seems quite certain that they once walked this earth, and perhaps not so long ago. In the June 3, 1961, issue of the Illustrated London News, there ap- peared a reproduction of a plate from an English bestiary that was being put up for sale at Messrs. Sotheby’s. The four creatures de- picted were: “an ostrich, a ram, a wolf and a ‘wyld man.’ This last has his body covered in hair.” This “wyld man” holds a snake
Page 28
26 in his right hand and a rough club in his left hand; his hands and feet are “naked” or hairless; he sports long curly hair and a very generous mustache and beard. The hairiness of his body is formally represented by wavy lines, and he wears a belt so that it looks as if he were clothed in an overall, tight-fitting, fur garment. This depiction shows certain points of similarity to some early Mongolian brush drawings of Hun- guressu, namely the Gin Sung or “Bear Man” of the Chinese, or the Dzu-Teh of the Nepalis — in other words, the largest of the three types of those creatures which have come to be called “Abominable Snowmen” and are alleged to exist in the eastern part of Eurasia. There are other collections, in- cluding one entitled Dyson Perrins, a reproduction of which we found in New York’s Pierpont Morgan Library. Although the individual figures in all these depictions have been fully catalogued by scholars, they apparently have not been critically examined by anthropologists or zoologists with full knowledge of the literature pertaining to the field of what we have been con- strained to call “ABSMS” — stem- ming from the inappropriate but now firmly established nickname “abominable snowmen.” As a re- sult some very significant features FATE of a number of these depictions of wild men, and of a number of oth- ers stated to be of apes and mon- keys, have been missed. Critical examination seems to make clear that Dark Age and Middle Age European artists knew a great deal more about the anat- omy and external morphology of primates than has been supposed, and that they went to particular pains to differentiate between seven distinct categories of primates: lemurs, monkeys, apes (they knew only the orangutan), “woodhouses” or Wudewasa, simple “wild men” or wild humans, such as troglodytes, people dressed in costumes in imi- tation of Wudewasa, and finally hu- man beings per se. While much that is depicted by these artists is allegorical or has mythological connotations, the art- ists seem to have made a careful distinction between fact and fancy. -One example will suffice. The crude clubs carried by the Wudewasa types are invariably of the same form and size and are nearly always carried in the left hand, even if the right hand is free. Even more convincing than this detail is the care with which they depict the feet of each of the different categories. The form of the feet is of greater significance than any other anatomical detail in dis- tinguishing between hominid and pongid anthropoids.
Page 29
i WUDEWASA — THE FURRY MEN OF EUROPE 27 HERE ARE several significant points in the illustration from the Dyson Perrins Folio. First, at the top are men in then current dress, hunting a stag with dogs. However, the two figures on the left are smaller, apparently naked, hairy, and armed with a bow and arrow and a spear respectively. These figures are shown on an open down. To the right is a river shown in very fine perspective running from a gap in these downs, the other bank of which is heavily forested. Three wodehouses are shown run- ning down this river bed to a fore- shore, immediately off which a fourth, mounted astride a large bird with a doubly-hooked beak and prominent narrow tongue, defends himself with a wooden club and an exceedingly crude shield of most significant construction. The clubs carried by the wode- houses are carefully shown to be crude logs with rounded ends, of somewhat lesser diameter at the end held by the hand. The “shield” is composed of two laths of wood, presumably held together by cross- pieces, but arranged so that the holder may peer between the two slats. Such shields may be found today among the exceedingly prim- itive Hill Batuks of Sumatra. Sim- ilar shields seem to be portrayed in Spanish Stone Age cave paintings such as those in the Cuevas del Civil near Albocacer Castellon. After reviewing hundreds of re- ports by persons who say they have observed the various ABSMs, it transpires that nobody claims they ever carried anything made of other than wood; while we have constant reference to crude wooden clubs, and primitive wooden bows and arrows. The external morphology of the wodehouses in this illustration is even more significant than the im- plements they are carrying. They are small of stature with short legs and long arms. They have com- paratively large heads with mas- sive but shortish hair and fringe beards under their chins. The brow- ridges are pronounced and “beetle;” the nose is large; the mouth wide and full, and the naked face is shown to be black but very shiny. Most important of all, the artist went to great pains to draw no less than seven hands and two feet of these creatures in great clarity. These feet, like the hands, are completely hominid with a fully opposed great toe. In other words, despite the very animalistic features of their overall morphology, these wodehouses are depicted as de- cidedly human on two counts — the use of offensive and defensive weapons; and the form of their feet. The importance of the latter fact cannot be too greatly stressed. The last point of real significance in this depiction is the contempor-
Page 30
28 ary written mention of “wode- houses.” This name has an increas- ingly precise meaning as one goes backward through Wodehouse to Woodwose, Wodwose, Wodewose, Wodewese, and Wodwos to the late Anglo-Saxon Wudewasa (which remained current till at least the 15th Century) and thence to Wudu Wasa. The first of this com- bined term is the Late Old English for a “wood”; the word wasa is discreetly described as obscure, but is frankly unknown. However, in combination Wudu Wasa means “Wild Man of the Woods.” Later, it also was applied to a person dressed to represent such a_ being in a pageant. One suggestion has been made as to the origin of wasa; namely, that it originally de- rived from vw’asear, from assir, aesir, Asia-Man, or Asiatics. The implication then would be that the mediaeval artists knew of “Wild Men of the Woods” armed only with primitive wooden weapons that lived in Asia and attempted to de- fend it from knights in armor com- ing to the mouths of rivers from the sea—a allegorically depicted at the bottom of the Dyson Perrins Folio. ee Es TONES AND the orang- utan, as the only ape known to mediaeval artists, are a fairly common item in depictions from the earliest phases of illumination in FATE Europe. They seldom are confused with Wudewasa by these early. artists. Critical analysis, consistent with a prior knowledge of the literature on ABSMs, shows most of these creatures to be careful, detailed depictions. One example, in Jan- son’s Apes And Ape Lore, displays two anthropomorphic figures ap- parently dancing and holding hands but naked and shown to be fully haired all over by formalized lines of tashes. The faces are humanic but low-browed and almost chin- less; the head is very short. The hands are completely human but very long-fingered; the feet, how- ever, are completely humanoid with fully apposed big toes, and shown in four different positions and from four different angles. There can be no doubt at all that these - are meant to be hominids as op- posed to pongids for the very simple reason that all pongids are shown with widely opposed big toes. The most enlightening illustra- tion is captioned “Fortitude Trans- fixing Ape” from Fons memor- abilium, Oxford, Baliol College. In this we see “Fortitude” in the guise of an entirely human, though naked and furred figure with curl- peaked helmet and a thin lance, standing over a prone “ape” through the head of which he has driven the lance. The former’s fect oa Dy

RG a WUDEWASA — THE FURRY MEN OF EUROPE 29 are completely humanoid and have apposed great toes; the latter has hand-like feet with a fully opposed great toe. eee 2s Y THE 16th CENTURY mem- ory of the original Wudewasa seems to have become dimmed. Considerable confusion has arisen in the minds of naturalists and art- ists alike due to the importation of many more kinds of primates from Africa and the Orient, (and even from the Neotropical region), and to an ever increasing infusion of legend, mythology, and hearsay from the past, combined with a growing scepticism fostered by strict adherence to the Biblical version of creation. However, hairy hominids were considered, up till the 15th Century, to be perfectly valid former inhabitants of Europe. Evidence of this is to be found in a delightful little depiction in the British Museum, appropriately called “a drollery” in Queen Mary’s Psalter, of the 14th Century. This shows a very hairy wild man with perfectly human hands and feet pursued by one dog and confronted by two more. From these and other examples it is plain that while monkeys and apes were not initially very well known or at all times realistically depicted they were from the ear- liest times recognized as such while an entirely different class of be- ings—namely wild fully-haired humanoids or hominids — were also generally accepted as either still existing (at least in central Eu- rasia) or presumably, to have pre- viously existed in the western part of that continent —i.e. Europe. The belief in trolls, satyrs, fawns, and their small counterparts the pixies, elves, and gnomes, has per- sisted until today in various forms and by various names in all the mountainous countries of Europe. In Scandinavia country folk in the — far north adjacent to the montane forests assert that some of these Wudewasas still exist; while the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R. treats similar reports from the Caucasus with the utmost con- sideration and now has sent several expeditions to that area to search for evidence of them, called there Kapiar or Kheeter. $e kk URTHER CONFUSION in de- pictions of hairy men in medi- aeval art arises because of the frequent occurrence of persons dressed in fur costumes in imita- tion of Wudewasa for pageants, plays and other performances. Such figures form the basis of Bern- heimer’s studies. And it is inter- esting to note that Author Janson adopts the thesis that most, if not all, such depictions are of what he calls apes, and implies that all those which are manifestly not of
Page 32
30 apes or monkeys are of men in ‘costumes. ‘The third alternative, namely ‘that some of them are of a specific ‘creature, the Wudewasa, or even that the costumes are imitative of such a creature does not appear to have occurred to either of these ‘scholars. , * OK OX ’ ET US REPEAT: the single most distinguishing feature of the true wild man or Wudewasa is the form of the foot, with particular regard to the size, form and dis- position of the great toe. It is rap- idly becoming recognized that the only constant and valid feature for differentiating hominids from pon- gids is the first toe; being in hom- inids apposed and in pongids op- posed. _ All other characteristics put for- ward to distinguish between the two groups have in time broken down. This includes both anatom- ical characteristics like the simian shelf, brain size, tooth size and structure; and cultural character- istics like the use of implements, interpretable vocalization, and so on. Hairiness is really no criterion though we do not know of any race of fully haired hominids living today. This, however, makes the early depictions of the Wudewasa, bestial as they may be in other features, the more convincing, for the human type foot and first toe FATE pronounce them to be hominids (not pongids) and proclaim also the artists’ great care in so depict- ing them. xk * ROM DETAILED studies of these Mediaeval depictions combined with those of some earlier depictions on pottery, and later il- lustrations in early natural histor- ies, we are forced to the conclu- sion that a type or types of prim- itive, fully-furred or haired human beings with long arms, beetling brows, dark skins, and possessed only of wooden implements, were known to these early artists. Fur- ther, this knowledge was very wide- spread throughout central and nor- thern Europe until the 14th Cen- tury, though it seems to have died out in the Mediterranean area dur- ing middle Roman times. It has long been taught that the Neanderthalers disappeared from Europe at the end of the last ice advance and, it is implied, at the hand of Cro-Magnon man. How- ever, Cro-Magnon man appeared rather abruptly on the extreme western fringe of the continent, and it would seem that the other peoples in the late Palaeolithic and Mes- olithic stages of advance also spread into the Mediterranean from the west, ending with the appearance of the Iberians. Even today there remain con- siderable areas in northern Sweden

Why, WUDEWASA — THE FURRY MEN OF EUROPE 31 and the Causasus that have not been explored. Settlement followed by civilization spread northwards into Europe from the Mediterran- ean basin but took several thousand years to reach the ultimate peri- pheries of the continent. During this period post-glacial conditions con- tinued undisturbed in many places until the 14th Century. The Aurochs lingered on till that century in the Black Forest; the Wisent still clings precariously to survival in western Russia. Neanderthalers and other prim- itive humanoids or submen were not exterminated overnight by Cro- Magnon nor any other race of mod- ern men. In some areas they appear to have been absorbed rather than exterminated. In other areas they just removed themselves, probably back into the forests. Not being tribalized, the Neanderthalers un- doubtedly did not fight unless at- tacked and cornered individually or in family groups. For these reasons it may be in- ferred that the Neanderthalers dis- appeared from Europe very grad- ually and over a very long period; and that some of them remained in central Europe till Mediaeval times, and some may still survive in the two extreme limits of that conti- nent — in northern Sweden and the Caucasus. There is no valid or conclusive argument against Neanderthalers being fully furred or clothed in hair. There is some concrete evi- dence that they were so. clothed, and it would seem logical that they should have been for they dwelt in cold climates, even right up to the ice front. And they only “disappeared” when modern men appeared. in each locality, in turn. So there is nothing extraordinary about mod- ern man at the dawn of civiliza- tion first in the Mediterranean (see Etruscan depictions), then in cen- tral Europe, and finally around its fringes, and right up to Mediaeval times knowing these creatures — knowing what they looked like, what weapons they used, how they deported themselves, and that their feet were just like ours. The dif- ficulty in grasping this concept is due entirely to the gap between the end of the Dark Ages and cur- rent anthropological thinking: a gap that was filled with scepticism combined with outright lack of knowledge and progressive sus- picion of ancient traditions and accounts, It is our contention, therefore, that the Wudewasa are detailed and accurate descriptions of Neanderthaloids — maybe of more ‘than one type — that lingered on in Europe north and east of a line drawn through central Ireland, Britain, Germany, Austria and the Balkans to the Dardanelles, un-
Page 34
32 _ til comparatively late dates and progressively later as you travel from the extreme southwest to the north and east. There is today growing evidence of such Wudewasa in the Caucasus and the ‘mountains of northern Tran, and thence via the Pamirs to the whole of the great Mongolian upland massif of eastern Eurasia. Reports even more recently have been received. (Porshnev, B.F.; pri- vate communication) that they are also spread over the forested areas of easternmost Siberia. The most pertinent argument against the notion that the Wude- wasa and other wild men were Neanderthalers is that this group of primitives or submen were creators of very fine stone imple- ments and therefore, had graduat- ed from the dendritic phase long ago, while these latter day crea- tures seem never tO possess any- thing but wooden implements. How- ever, there is evidence that primi- tives dispossessed of their territory and forced to retreat into forests FATE where stones may be rare or en- tirely unknown over great areas be- tween watercourses, give up the use of all instruments of any com- plexity except for wooden ones. Finally as to the disappearance of the Neanderthalers or other primitives which gave rise to the Wudewasa tradition, it should be pointed out that small relic groups of low culture, especially if un- tribalized, once split up and con- fined to limited and shrinking ter- ritories invariably. appear to dwin- dle in numbers due to a progressive deterioration of their fertility. Thus, it was first the dissection and then the clearing of the forests that brought about the dissolution and extinction of the Wudewasa rather than any deliberate massacre by more advanced races. But the forests on the fringes of Europe even now have not been finally cleared, especially in moun- tainous districts. The Wudewasa could well have still existed in many large areas up till Mediaeval times.

The skirt had been stitched all the way across the hem, so that she couldn’t step into it. She hastily ripped out the stitches and ran to the stage, and after that she kept the costume in her own dressing room. _ “Of course we tried to find out who had done it, but we got no- where.

S is BEATRICE LILLIE’S POLTERGEIST aS ¢¢N AY SISTER MURIEL, who ¥+ tives in London, had several psychic experiences which.might in- terest you. Muriel is the widow of the famous explorer, Arthur Wei- gall. Arthur was also a noted Egyp- tologist and visited Lord Carnar- von when the tomb of Tutankha- men was explored. As you know, there was supposed to be a curse that went with the tomb, or, rather, a curse on anyone who tampered with it. So, naturally, when Arthur Weigall died, the story was revived. “T think it was with some idea of trying to contact her husband in the spirit world that my sister start- ed going to seances and spiritualis- . tic meetings, such as those spon- sored by Hannen Swaffer, . the British drama critic. “But she wasn’t really a gullible woman, as a couple of her experi- encés indicate. For instance, she was on the stage during one demon- stration at Albert Hall, during which the medium was supposed to emit ectoplasm. Muriel broke all the rules by seizing the ‘ectoplasm,’ which turned out to be regurgitated cheesecloth! “On another occasion, my sister invited a medium to her home. The woman worked with a trumpet— in the dark of course—and at one point Muriel, who sat facing her, their knees almost touching, began to suspect that the woman was manipulating the trumpet. Muriel suddenly leaned forward and seized both of the woman’s hands, where- upon the trumpet, which had been standing on the floor, leaped about four feet into the air, and fell with a clatter at their feet. “The medium must have been just as surprised as my sister, for both women fainted dead away!” PROPHECY FOR EICHMANN HEN THE DEATH sentence carried out against Adolph Hich- mann was first pronounced, it reportedly did not surprise him. Months before, his lawyer, Dr. Robert Servatius, had said, “Hich- mann is convinced he will be sentenced to death. He is sure of this, because he believes the prophecy that was made to him by a gypsy fortune-teller a long time ago: that he will not live to celebrate his 57th birthday.” Eichmann was 56 when executed in March, 1962.

Though expected cataclysm expectation itself has had oy HUMAN RACE apparent- ly has always been preoccupied with its own end, which is invari- ably conceived of as an awesome cataclysm, Man apparently wishes to end his existence with a bang! In 2000 B.C. the Egyptian Book Of The Dead quotes the god Atun as threatening: “I shall destroy what I have created, I shall sink the earth and the earth shall once more be water!” In ancient Rome the Sybilline oracle predicted the imminent end of the world but wisely set no date. Hinduism teaches that at the end of each Kali, or age of 4,320,000 years, the world is destroyed by fire and flood and is recreated. In the old Teutonic religion the sacred saga of the Volospa is re- plete with dire warnings of a “final battle”. The Old Testament has its ter- rible “Day of Jahweh”. The New 36 Testament announces a Second Com- ing and Last Judgement. For some reason apocalypticism produces two opposite reactions in human beings. There is an atavistic fear and desire to evade which mani- fests itself in prayer, fasting, and panic; but there is also a strange receptivity, a kind of fierce joy dis- played in drinking bouts and sexual orgies, : In the past men have sought to halt impending doom by making human sacrifices. In Britain the Druids sacrificed criminals in a giant “sun-wheel”; the Incas sacri- ficed young virgins. This grisly custom is not as far removed from us in time as we like to think: In 1926 a family in Santander, Spain, sacrificed a baby girl to prevent the — end of the world, and in 1948 a refugee family from the Baltic states, living near Oldenburg, Ger- — many, was stopped by the police

HE EARLY Christians devout- ly believed in the Second Com- ing of Christ and a Last Judgement. For the first two centuries they ex- pected these events almost daily, and lived by what scholars have called an “interim ethic”. They did 37 not accumulative possessions; hus- bands and wives ceased living to- gether; many men castrated them- selves so that they would not be tempted to sin in the brief time re- maining to them. Gradually their tense expectancy relaxed but as the end of the first 1000 years of the Christian era drew nigh, the old apocalyptic fer- vor was revived. All over Europe priests and people alike became con- fident that the Savior would pre- side over the Last Judgement before the year 1000 arrived. Midnight of
Page 40
38 December 31, 999, was chosen as the exact time of Christ’s Second Coming. Everybody believed it. Letters were signed and conversations con- cluded with a casual but sincere “appropinquante mundi termino” — “with the approaching end of the world”. Thousands of pilgrims began the long walk to Jerusalem, believing that the Last Judgement would oc- cur there. All possessions were sold; buildings, even churches, fell into ruin, The pilgrims’ eyes were raised to heaven; even those who did not go to Jerusalem sold or gave away all their possessions and lived for weeks on hillsides where they could be more easily “snatched up”. When the year 1000 dawned and nothing happened the date was moved ahead 1000 years. Sheepish pilgrims resumed life without hous- es, jobs, or goods. 1186 A.D. A PERSIAN poet and astrologer named Anwari selected Sep- tember 16, 1186, as the exact date for the world to end, because five major planets were due to conjoin in the sign of Libra. Other astrol- ogers agreed and letters were sent to kings, knights, bishops and other important people. Again thousands of persons sold everything and headed for the hillsides or for Jeru- salem. Again the date passed and nothing happened — except that FATE Genghiz Khan was born that night, and perhaps he was almost as bad as a doomsday. 1524 A.D. ce A DAY when astrologers en- joyed great status, Johannes Stoeffler, a member of the faculty at the University of Tubingen in Germany, was most respected. Stoef- fler, in his long, black astrologer’s robe with the signs of the zodiac embroidered on the hem in gold thread, was an awesome figure, Official advisor to princes and bish- ops, he was a man who should have known what he was talking about. In 1499 Stoeffler published a book called Ephemerides in which he stated that on February 20, 1524, there would be a great conjunction of 20 planets in the watery sign of Pisces, and this could only mean the end of the world by flood. At first this news was received calmly, as doomsday was still 25 years away. However, as 1524 drew closer, nervousness increased all over Europe. Almanacs poured from the presses, embellishing Stoeffler’s old prediction. Other astrologers and clergymen reiterated the dire expectation, and as the year 1524 dawned Europe seemed on the verge of collective hysteria. Up and down the rivers, particularly the Rhine, thousands of men built arks in which they hoped to survive the deluge as Noah had done. Among theologians, the shotgun-in-the-
Page 41
< f : a DOOMS DAYS THAT NEVER CRACKED 39 bomb-shelter controversy raged in a slightly different form: did the Christian have the right to limit his ark to his own family? Was he justified in using force to keep im- provident neighbors from boarding his craft? Some noted divines said one thing, some another — just as now. On February 20 the question be- came more than academic. Thou- sands who had not built vessels and had spent their last hours in “cham- bering and wantonness” rushed to the river-fronts to board the arks of those provident ones who had heeded Stoeffler’s warning. The Count von Iggleheim had constructed a magnificent three- story ark on the Rhine for his fam- ily; now a sudden rain with ac- companying thunder and lightning precipitated panic among the throngs on the docks and a crowd surged toward the Count’s ark. He drew his sword and ran through one ruf- fian, but the mob knocked him down, stomped him to death, and almost capsized his ark. For several days it continued to rain hard and the hysteria mounted. Hailstones as large as grapes fell, the rivers rose, arks and rafts left their moorings to escape the panic of the ark-less on shore. A monk, observing the scene along the banks of the Rhine, wrote: “The people were distracted by fear, knowing not which way to turn, and in the uncertainty of their brute minds they fell into all forms of carnal beastliness and sin.” Eventually, however, the rains ended, the rivers fell, and an as- trologer named George Tannenstet- ter “proved” that Stoeffler had been way off in his calculations. Gradually people came back to shore, proclaiming they had merely been fishing. Scores, however, had been killed or murdered. 1665 A.D. HIS WAS THE YEAR of the plague in London, and with friends and neighbors dropping like flies it apparently was not difficult to believe that the decimating pesti- lence heralded the end of the world. A quaker ranter named Solomon Eccles gave voice to this fear. Eccles was over six feet tall, broad-shouldered, with black hair and beard. He looked every inch the Biblical prophet as, naked ex- cept for a goatskin loin-cloth and carrying on his head an iron chaf- ing-dish containing live coals and brimstone, he burst into St. Mary’s Church in Aldermanbury during a Sunday morning service. Proceed- ing down the center aisle he cried: “Down on your knees, repent, for the end of the world is at hand and the fire of the Lord shall smite you in your wickedness! “Follow me,” roared the prophet. “T will show you what awaits!” He led the hysterical worshippers
Page 42
DOSS EE RR ES SS 40 out of the church, through Moor Gate, and into the fields, finally halting before an enormous pit into which the bodies of plague victims’ had been flung. In this macabre setting, Eccles shouted his message: “Awake, sinners, awake! The grave yawns before you. Awake and re- pent!” Hundreds, sobbing, fell to their knees. In the ensuing weeks the naked Eccles roamed the stricken city preaching the world’s end by fire. In the mounting hysteria signs of the approaching doom were “seen” by many — coffins flying through the air, hearses leaving funeral pro- cessions to skim the rooftops, Satan’s hoof-prints plainly visible in the soft earth around the Church of All Hallows. Finally the harrassed authorities threw Eccles into jail, and the hysteria gradually died down. Eccles calmed down, too, and later accompanied the founder of Quak- erism, George Fox, to Barbados, where he apparently did some work ‘in a world that continued “without end”, 1736 A.D. ILLIAM WHISTON was Sir Isaac Newton’s friend and successor as Lucasian Professor of Astronomical Geography at Cam- bridge University. He was consid- ered one of England’s most dis- tinguished scientists until October FATE 13, 1736. On that evening, before a group of scholars in London, he produced scale models of the Temple and the Tabernacle in Jerusalem and stated: “So friends. we may forget, now, the specula- tions of science. The period of all things is at hand. Within three days this world shall be no more. On Thursday morning at approxi- mately five of the clock, the comet I have warned you about will ap- pear. The Messiah will be restored to earth to go up to Jerusalem and on Friday the world will end in fire, earthquake and slaughter.” Professor Whiston’s reputation gave weight to his prediction, based on Temple and Tabernacle meas- urements, so did the appearance in the heavens, at 5:05 the following morning, of Halley’s comet with its curving, fiery tail. The bottom fell out of the stock market. Banks and businesses remained closed because nobody came to work. Tower Hill was crowded with praying sobbing people. The taverns and brothels were jammed. Vicarages were be- sieged by couples wishing to be married before the end and by per- sons imploring baptism. The Archbishop of Canterbury was urged to open Westminster Abbey for a great, final prayer meeting. He sternly refused. Even the Bank of England was caught up in the hysteria, insisting that a company of firemen com-

When the “last” day had come and gone a relieved people, feeling slightly foolish, went back to their homes and jobs. Professor Whiston announced cer- tain miscalculations and set an- other tentative date. He was fired from his professorship at Cam- bridge but managed to make a liv- ing by writing and lecturing. He died at the age of 85 in Rutland- shire, secure in the knowledge that he had set off one of the better doomsday scares. 1761 N A LATE winter day the city -of London experienced its first earthquake in history. Chimneys tumbled, houses swayed, fish leapt from the water, dogs howled. Ex- actly four weeks later came a sec- ond and stronger quake and sev- eral buildings crumbled. In a seedy London tavern a group of soldiers of the King’s Life- guards were drinking. Talk turned to the recent earthquakes and the odd fact that they had come just one lunar month apart. Somebody wondered, half-jokingly, if there would be another earthquake at the end of the present four-week period. The brutish William Bell began figuring out loud: “Twenty-eight days —that makes it’ the fifth of April.” His voice rose with excite- ment. “April 5th! On April 5th we'll all be undone. It will be the end of the world! The Third earth- quake will be the end of the world!” Before anyone could stop him the inebriated soldier lurched into the street, bawling that the world would come to an end on April 5th with a third earthquake. The two unprecedented earth- quakes already had made London very nervous. Bell drew a crowd and soon the “news” that the world would end on April 5th had spread to every part of the city. Bell, ex- alted by his new-found importance as a prophet, preached to throngs all over London. Like a snowball the terror grew. By April 1st Lon- don was virtually at a standstill. Banks and stores closed, panicky crowds left the city for the open fields. The rich bought space on ships, crowding every vessel in the Thames apparently thinking there might be safety from a final earth- quake on water. There were the usual suicides, sales of homes and _ possessions, runs on banks, crowds awaiting marriage or baptism, and drunken carousing, But April 5th passed and noth- ing happened. Bell set another date for the end of the world. The au-
Page 44
42 thorities also set a date —for Bell to be confined to Bedlam, the Lon- don mad-house. 1806 OrE OF THE few people besides tavern-keepers to make any money out of the end-of-the-world scares was a demure, attractive little English con-woman named Mary Bateman. She made dooms- day a business. During the autumn of 1806 a rumor spread through the Bank, a slum section of the city of Leeds, that some divinely-inspired chick- ens were laying eggs, predicting the Second Coming, in the yard of a shabby public house called the Black Dog. Crowds of the curious converged on the tavern, which was surrounded by shacks. When the yard was full of people, Mary Bate- man, dressed primly in black Quak- -er garb, stepped from one of the shacks. She was followed by a big, rough-looking man carrying a small — coop which held an angrily-clucking brown hen. The coop was painted red and gold with a white cross on the top. It was lifted onto a cart so that all could see, and Mary began to speak. She had dreamed of the end of the world, she said. In this dream God had appointed her His prophet, to save as many as pos- sible from the wrath to come. This was to be effected through her hen, who would lay 14 eggs bearing the miraculous inscription “Christ is FATE coming”. Four had already been laid. When the 14th had been laid; the world would end in a fiery convulsion. At this point the hen squawked and laid an egg. Tenderly Mary held it up. Sure enough, there was - the clear inscription “Christ is coming.” Pandemonium broke loose. People tried to kiss the blessed egg, or the hem of Mary’s dress. Wait, she commanded, there was hope for some, but before they could hear it each must pay a penny to help defray expenses. Everybody paid. The woman then explained that in her dream God had revealed to her that as many as could afford a shilling or more for a piece of paper bearing their name and sealed with the inscrip- tion“J.C.” would be taken into the Kingdom of God immediately after the last egg was laid. Almost everyone paid and Mary announced another egg-laying and sealing for the next day. As each new egg was laid the hysteria spread from Leeds to other communities. Thousands thronged the area around the Black Dog to get “sealed” before it was too late. Just before the last egg was due two Leeds aldermen, with the won- derful names of Pickles and Wharf- dale, remembered that 20 years be- fore, in nearby Topcliffe, there had been a hen who laid eggs with for-
Page 45
DOOMS DAYS THAT NEVER CRACKED 43 tunes neatly inscribed on them. They investigated. Then with sev- eral constables they hurried to the yard of the Black Dog where a vast throng awaited the final egg. Bursting into a shack they caught Mary in the act of inserting an egg inscribed “Christ is coming” into the hen’s egg-duct. Mary Bateman went to prison. When she was released she con- tinued her career as a prophetess and had a large following. Finally she was convicted as an abortionist and sentenced to hang. At the hanging 20,000 of her followers watched the heavens for signs of divine intervention. But there were none! 1814 OANNA SOUTHCOTT, born in Devon in 1750, apparently pos- sessed some genuine psychic ability. For years she was a simple prophet- ess and acquired a large following. However, in middle life she began to identify herself with the Bride of the Lamb in the Book of Revela- tion. She associated with a fiery be- liever in an imminent Second Com- img named Richard Brothers. Brothers, whose religion was a weird mixture of Catholicism and Swedenborgianism, had a consid- erable following which was merged with Joanna’s. When Brothers was finally penned up in Bedlam Jo- anna became the sole leader of the combined groups. She set up head- quarters in London and in 18 months her following mushroomed to 8,000. When she instituted a campaign “to seek Satan’s destruc- tion”, 14,000 (“The Sealed in the Lord”) signed to follow her. In her Third Book of Wonders Joanna informed the world that “Shiloh” (Christ) was on His way, that she had been chosen to be the instrument of His Second Coming. She was even then pregnant, she said, although she was 64 years old. After the Shiloh had been born the present world would come to an end. That would be early in 1814. Twenty-one doctors examined Joanna and 17 of them found her pregnant. The medical profession as well as her followers avidly fol- lowed the course of her pregnancy. An ornate cradle costing 200 pounds (about $1000) was con- structed to receive the Shiloh. As the time for her delivery ap- proached thousands of her disciples filled the space in front of her house on Manchester Street, sing- ing: “Rule, King Shiloh! King Shiloh rules alone, with glory crowned on David’s throne!” The crowds maintained their vigil day after day and night after night. Three people died of a com- bination of starvation and excite- ment. Alas — nothing happened. King Shiloh was not born. Joanna was
Page 46
44 not pregnant with anything but hope. When the doctors told her it was a false pregnancy she turned her face to the wall and died. Her hysterical supporters forced the doctors to perform a Caesarian op- eration on her still-warm body to release the Shiloh, but there was no Shiloh to release. The Southcott legend persisted for a long time. Joanna had pre- dicted that seven “Angelic Messen- gers” would carry on her work. The seventh and. last of these “Messen- gers” and self-proclaimed Shiloh was the notorious “King Ben” Pur- nell of the House of David at Ben- ton Harbor, Mich., who died in 1926 while awaiting trial on 22 charges of sexual assault on girl members: of the colony and several counts charging fraud. 1843 ILLIAM MILLER was a farmer who lived near Low Hampton, N.Y. He had been some- thing of a hero in the War of 1812, being mustered out a captain in 1815. A devout man, he often preached in a small Baptist chapel near his farm. Miller, interested in Bible study, jotted down dates, figures, measure- ments. He made elaborate charts. One Sunday morning in 1832 he announced that his calculations were complete and that the world would end in the year 1843. Miller acquired a large following. FATE A Boston Baptist minister, the Rev. Josua V. Himes, became interested in Miller’s theories and appointed himself Miller’s manager. Under the able guidance of the Rev. Mr. Himes the Millerite gospel spread rapidly through New England and over into New York and Pennsyl- vania. Between 1834 and 1839 Miller gave no less than 800 lec- tures and sermons, all on the theme that Christ would return and the world would end in 1843. Mesmerized by Miller’s oratory _and convinced by his charts, several hundred thousand Americans be- came “Millerites”. With Himes handling the business details Mil- ler’s sermons, lectures and charts were published and widely dis- seminated. A huge auditorium was built on Howard Street in Boston where the faithful could sing and pray while they saw the old world out. : At first- Miller had no exact date for the final cataclysm, but as 1843 approached he came up with March 20 as the most likely day of doom. As 1843 dawned throngs of Mil- lerites left their homes and jobs, donned white shrouds, and pre- pared to devote their last days to prayer and singing. Cattle were slaughtered for “love-feasts” and people began greeting one another with the Biblical kiss. In New York State four children starved to death, deserted by their Millerite at are

So did the birth- rate; one Episcopal minister stud- ied the birth records in his parish and announced that more concep- tions had taken place in the week before March 20th than in any week in the church’s history. On March 19th hysteria reached its height. In Boston hundreds in . their shrouds prayed in the auditor- ium, while outside in the streets and fields, people tore off their clothes, rolled in fits, drank them- selves into a stupor, and made love. In Westford, Mass., a crowd of 500, gathered in a hall to await the sound of the last trumpet, sudden- ly heard it loud and clear. Sobbing and shouting people ran out into the street, only to learn that the millenial blast had been authored by the town drunk, Crazy Amos, on an old post horn. The thousands in their shrouds waited all day on March 20th to be “snatched up”. Nothing happened and Miller announced a slight mis- calculation, but refused to set an- other date. The hysteria reached another climax on December 31. When New Year’s Day, 1884, dawned clear and bright Miller had an explana- tion. He had been mistaken in fol- lowing the Christian calendar; he should have used the Jewish. Ac- cording to that, 1843 still had three months to ga. However, his follow- ing melted rapidly away and he died shortly thereafter. 1847 A CONVERTED JEW in Pales- tine named Joseph Wolff pre- dicted the Second Coming for the year 1847, with Christ to appear on the Mount of Olives preparatory to riding into Jerusalem for the Last Judgement. This prophecy was . taken seriously by a number of people who should have known bet- ter. In England Lady Hester Stanhope, niece of William Pitt, moved to the Holy Land and rented two splendid white horses — in- tending to accompany Christ on the triumphal ride into. Jerusalem. In the United States a feminist by the name of Harriet Livermore preached the Second Coming at a special session of the House of Representatives in Washington. But when 1847 passed without incident Wolff went out of the Sec- ond Coming business, Lady Hester Stanhope returned quietly to Eng- land, and Miss Livermore ‘switched her attention to woman’s suffrage. 1881 HIS WAS A minor doomsday year, representing a bad guess ~ by the English seeress, Mother Shipton, 400 years previously. At that time she had written: “Fire and water shall wonders do, England shall at last admit a foe. The world to an end shall come

46 In eighteen-hundred-and-eighty-one.” Right about many other things, Mother slipped badly here! 1919 ROFESSOR ALBERT PORTA came to the United States from Italy in 1875. The title was self- bestowed but he was an expert seis- mographer and a student of meteor- ology and world weather. He lived in San Francisco where he predicted the weather for a small Italian-lan- guage newspaper. He had gained world-wide notoriety in 1917 by ac- curately predicting the Guatemalan earthquake that December so, when he announced that the world would end on December 17, 1919, be- cause of a conjunction of six plan- ets opposite Uranus which would set up a magnetic current that would “pierce the sun like a mighty spear”, many paid attention. The prediction went around the world and alarm was widespread. Thousands called the United States Weather Bureau and the Naval Ob- servatory to verify the awful news. Finally the Nautical Almanac of- fice issued a statement admitting the planetary conjunction but denying that there was cause for concern. On the 16th thousands of Ne- groes in South Carolina left work and began 24-hour prayer vigils. Many whites joined them. In Okla- homa miners refused to go under- ground. There were suicides and FATE minor panics all over the world. When December 17th passed without incident “Professor” Porta shrugged and went back to writing weather reports. 1925 ARGARET ROWAN, a young California girl, was converted at a Seventh Day Adventist revival and became, at 17, a “prophet” of that faith. Late in 1924 she an- nounced that the Archangel Gab- riel had come to her in a dream and told her that the world would end on Friday, February 13, 1925. The Messiah would appear as a cloud in the east “no bigger than a man’s hand” and would approach the earth for seven days in order to give sin- ners a chance to repent. The Chosen of the Lord (limited to 144,000) would ride the clouds to California for a rendezvous with the Redeemer and then would be wafted to heaven while the rest of the world was incinerated. “Seven Days to Doom” signs ap- peared all over the country. In Oakland a Mr. and Mrs. Martin sold their home and spent every penny having “Seven Days to Doom” tracts printed. In San Diego 30 disciples disposed of all their possessions, put on white gowns, and went to a hill-top. In Shickshinny, Pa., a woman raved at her terror-stricken family about the coming cataclysm, then rushed out to the woodshed and hanged

"oe DOOMS DAYS THAT NEVER CRACKED . 47 herself. In Cleveland six respec- table girls took part in an orgy with six boys after a “Seven Days to Doom” meeting. The next day all six committed suicide by drowning. In Patchogue, N. Y., a housepaint- er named Robert Reidt inserted ads in local and New York City news- papers announcing the approach- ing doom and inviting all to join him in Patchogue for the event. Hundreds did, including a swarm of reporters. When nothing happened at mid- night on February 13, Reidt de- cided that doom was due on Pacific time, not Eastern Standard, and that there was still three hours to go. As 3:00 A.M. approached he and his followers rushed into the street shouting “Gabriel, Gabriel, here we are!” But Gabriel failed to show and Reidt then blamed this on the photographers’ flash bulbs! 1944 ROFESSOR MUNOZ Ferra- das, a Chilean astronomer, pre- * dicted that a comet would collide with the earth in August, 1944, bringing all life to an end. The simple peons of South America, es- pecially of Bolivia, were terror- striken. There were many suicides, several murders, drinking bouts and sexual orgies. Thousands took to the mountains and hid in caves. Bolivian life did not return to norm- al for over a month. 1945 HE REV. CHARLES G.LONG, pastor of a California sect called the Remnant Church of God, had a strange dream one night in 1938. In it a blackboard ma- terialized at the foot of his bed and a glowing hand traced out a mes- sage: “Daniel 12, 1945.” Diligent study of the 12th chap- ter of Daniel revealed to the Rev. Mr. Long that the Second Coming and Last Judgement were due at 5:33 P.M. on September 21, 1945. On that date the world would be vaporized and all human beings ex- cept the saving remnant (his own followers), would be turned to ecto- plasm. He wrote a 70,000-word tract, had it printed, and mailed it to world leaders. None replied but he went ahead and hired the Pasadena Civic Audi- torium and the Odd Fellows Hall in which to hold meetings. Crowds filled both to hear the Rev. Mr. Long and his son Richard preach the Second Coming. Hundreds re- pented and were baptized. Seven days before September 21 the remnant started around-the- clock fasting and prayer. A few thousand Californians cast anxious eyes at the heavens. At 5:33 P.M. on September 21, the remnant shivered in anticipa- tion. But nothing happened and the remnant eventually dispersed as the Rev. Mr. Long mumbled

48 something about a miscalculation. 1954. N THIS YEAR doomsday was a double-header. In May, 1954, large cracks de- veloped in the 1800-year-old Col- osseum in Rome. All Romans know the Sybilline oracle prediction that Rome will be safe as long as the Colosseum stands, but when that falls not only Rome but the world will come to an end. Soon this pre- diction was the talk of the city, and somehow May 24 was set as the day on which the Colosseum would crumble and Rome and the world would ‘disappear. Terror gripped the ignorant. Again the churches were jammed with those seeking marriage, bap- tism or absolution. Kissing in pub- lic, banned by an old statute, be- came widespread. The police were kept busy breaking up couples bent on a final round of carnal pleasure. Drunks seemed to be everywhere. A crowd, mostly women, stormed the Vatican, demanding an audience with the Pope. They were sternly rebuked by a Vatican spokesman who told them: “The greater part of humanity would certainly merit the world’s end, but the world will see next Tuesday and many Tues- days to come.” Nothing happened on May 24 except the derailment of the Milan- Rome express. Repairs were hastily begun on the Colosseum. se - » FATE The second half of the double- header took place in Lansing, Mich. Dr. Charles A. Laughead, a former medical missionary and then on the staff of Michigan State University, was a member of an informal dis- cussion group which met in various faculty homes. On one occasion this group entertained a medium who claimed to be in communica- tion with “entities from outer space.” Dr. Laughead became very in- trigued with these “entities from outer space”. He began attending seances, taking curious groups of college students with him. Finally one of these “entities” had a mes- sage for him: “The cast of the country of the U.S.A. is to break in twain. America’s Atlantic seaboard will be submerged. France, England and Russia will become one big sea”. The messages from outer space continued and Dr. Laughead worked out the exact date for the cataclysm: December 21, 1954, Not all would perish; some would be rescued by space craft, “cleansed”, and then returned to what was left of the earth to re- populate it. By this time Dr. Laughead’s con- nection with Michigan State had been terminated. As the final days approached Dr. Laughead and his group spent all night with the medium waiting fur-

Nobody wearing metal could enter a space ship, however. Frantically, they tore off but- tons, shoe heels, buckles, and even zippers. They threw away cigarette lighters and cases. The space ships, however, didn’t show up. In fact, nothing happened. “God changed His mind”, Dr. Laughead told the press lamely. 1960 N BENSON, ARIZ., a group of southern California doomsday buffs dug a shelter, stocked it with $35,000 worth of groceries and waited for the big bang. It never came. At about the same time one Dr. Elia Bianca predicted the destruc- tion of the world by flood and, with a large group of followers, went half way up Mt. Blanc to avoid it, carrying 10 rowboats. The rain stopped, the sun came out, and everybody came down off the mountain. 1962 ON FEBRUARY 3 the planets were in a terrible position — worst in 5000 years. Eight planets conjoined and there was an eclipse of the sun. In India, astrologers agreed that something awful was going to hap- pen, probably the end of the world. Millions of Hindus refused to work and took to the fields to escape the expected earthquake. Seven hun- dred Hindu wise men put on a yagna, or huge religious service on the banks of the Jumna River, and recited 10 million verses from the Upanishads. In the United States 100 south- ern Californians went into the des- ert to await the end. In England 1000 members of the Aetherius So- ciety climbed to their previously prepared “spiritual center” atop the 2633-foot Old Man Mountain in Lancashire to await the expected cataclysm. The prayers of the Hindu holy men were apparently efficacious, because nothing whatsoever hap- pened on February 3. eS HE NEAREST thing to a real end of the world got no pub- licity at all. That was on October 30, 1937, when the asteroid Hermes missed crashing into the earth by a mere half-million miles, or three seconds. Aen eR Ve DO THEY do it? Why is man so preoccupied with the end of the world and his own de- struction? As long as we have religious cranks to misread the Bible and astrological cranks to misread the stars, apparently we'll have the doomsday scares.

I TRAVELED IN DREAMS B, M. Phylls Bond I visited my Marine son on that distant Pacific island and— watched him fight with a long weapon that suddenly exploded. HOSE WHO BELIEVE will say the hand of God was re sponsible for my experiences: the doubters will say it was coincidence. I shall write it exactly as it hap- pened. I will leave any explanation, both of the episode of the dream and the chain of events which fol- lowed it, to some one wiser than I. I had this dream on the nights of July 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 1944. I never knew ho wthe dream started. I do not know now. Sud- 50 denly I was on the outside of a Pacific island; it was as if I were suspended in space watching an in- evitable tragedy being played out. The shore was in front of me; to my right were some scrubby trees and some clumps of shrubs. My son, who was a Marine, was under the scrubby trees, shooting up a hill with a thing that looked to me like a long pipe with a can on the firing end. A Marine sergeant was lying on the ground, face down be-
Page 53
side him. There were two other Marines with them. A path came down the near cen- ter of the hill. Enemy guns were- firing down the hill and over it from a position behind, which seem- ed like a valley. To my left as I looked on was a field of what seem- ed to me to be very high, coarse grass with sticks protruding above the leaves. Other Marines were in this grass, crawling and firing as they worked their way up the hill. Suddenly, as I watched, two Marines came over the top of the hill carrying an improvised litter. They did not run or hurry. They were being shot at by the enemy but for some reason nothing seemed able to harm them. They were very careful of the person on the stretcher who, though covered up, kept moving and talking to the bearers. I could not see the face of this person being carried down the hill. The two Marines carried their burden down the path to the beach and put him down. They and the person who was on the litter spoke to my son. I could not hear what they said, I could only see them talking. Then they turned and ran to the field of grass, and began going back up the hill. My son kept firing the thing with the can on top and talking to the Marine sergeant lying on the ground. I was trying to see the person who’ 51 was on the stretcher but I never was able to look at that person’s face. As I watched a great blast of fire, smoke and something that looked like pieces of metal came rolling down the hill from the Jap- anese guns. Everything was en- veloped in flames. The weapon my son had been shooting was torn to bits, and he now lay on the ground holding on to himself. I kept looking at my son, There was something terribly wrong with his arms and legs. His eyes were closed and his face was all black; but his heart kept beat- ing and he was breathing. I was screaming and trying to do some- thing for him. The person on the litter was still now. The sergeant who had been lying on the ground got up, and began walking up the hill. It was not given to me to see what else happened. The stretcher with its burden was left lying on the beach. The dream always ended like this as I woke up. *x OK HAD GONE to bed on the eve- ning of the 3rd of July with no sense of foreboding or impending disaster. It had been a routine war day. I had received reassuring letters from all my men folk. We all had begun to feel the end of the war was in sight. I presume I dreamed the dream sometime after
Page 54
52 midnight as I have always had the habit of going to bed late. Regard- less of time, I dreamed the awful thing for the first time that night. When I arose the morning of the 4th I was as exhausted as if I had been running all night. I kept going over the dream happenings of the night before. I was sure that, from my bed thousands of miles away, I had wit- nessed the injury of my son and the death of the man left on the beach. My nervousness and apprehen- sion increased as the day wore on. I found myself listening for the -door bell expecting the telegram. I was alone in the house for my men folks were all in the service and my daughter-in-law had gone to Vallejo to visit her mother. July 4th was a fearful day for me. As evening approached my agita- tion and reluctance to go to bed became very real. Finally I went in and lay in the dark, trying to com- pose myself. The last time I looked at the clock it was near 3:00 in the morning. Between 3:00 and 5:00 A.M., when I awakened in a cold sweat, crying, I dreamed the dream again. It was now more than a dream. It had the appearance of an apparition. The whole horrible thing was so etched on my mind that I went to the library and made a sketch of what I had seen. All day of July 5th I kept telling myself I was just making a moun- FATE tain out of a mole hill, that I was having a case of jitters. Deep in ~ my subconscious I knew better. I was convinced these things I had seen were happening, had happened, or were about to happen in the near future. As evening came I dawdled over every conceivable chore. I remem- ber I painted my finger nails and brushed the cat until he was near- ly furless. Sometime after midnight I again went to bed. I do not know when I went to sleep. Again J dreamed the whole sequence in every detail. When I awoke I lay there think- ing, trying to arrive at a rational explanation of the affair. I decided to write to my daughter-in-law at once. I told her that R. M. had been injured but was alive and I thought he would get well; also, that she would get a notice from the Navy before she heard from him again. My daughter-in-law called me on the ’phone after she received my letter and we discussed my dream. I still do not understand why we accepted the message as such. Neither of us was hysterical or particularly emotional. We were inured to war. Every male in our family was of that unique age group that was serving somewhere in the Armed Forces. Her husband and my son had been in the Pacific area from Pearl Harbor on.
Page 55
an I TRAVELED IN DREAMS We now know the Navy began the operation to take back Guam in July, 1944. They announced the in- vasion of the island, July 20, 1944. My son was in the Marine division making the initial landings. They fought for and held every bloody, flesh-torn, sweat-drenched inch they were assigned. We know what an awful price they paid! speek WO OR THREE YEARS after : R. M. came home I showed him the sketch I had made. He looked at the sketch and then at me and said in a tight voice, “Mom, it looks like you were there.” I said, “R. M., I’ve got to know about the stretcher, even if you hate to talk about it, because I could never see the person’s face.” He replied, “O.K. you asked for it. Pll even tell you who is under the trees with me. That is Sergeant Lassister and two PFC’s. It isn’t grass in the field, it is sugar cane. The Navy really tore it up. Yes, the Jap guns were up behind that ridge. That thing you have on the side of the hill was a concrete bunk- er full of Japs.” He talked all around the path, the stretcher and its burden; so I. waited. “Mom,” he went on, “the path and the litter you want to know about —two of the boys picked PFC Thompson up and carried him back down on the beach so he could «53 be transferred to a hospital ship.” “Where were your corpsmenr” I asked. “Gone,” he answered, “it was a real rugged action.” “Go on,” I said, “I'll never ask you about it again. What happened to Sergeant Lassiter?” “Oh, he got his guts back and went on.” R. M. hesitated a moment. “About PFC Thompson, Mom, that is one of the strangest things in that crazy damn war. The Old Man had found out Thompson wasn’t 17. The kid had lied about his age. He was being shipped _State side when our orders came for Guam. I kept talking to him until I got mine when the flame thrower blew up. He died there on the beach. He never had a chance to live any life-at all. It’s all writ- ten before you are ever born. His time was up, mine wasn’t. “There is something very wrong with the world when a nice kid like Thompson goes out to be killed on an island 6000 miles from home. We all tried to take care of him to the very last. He had no chance at life at all.” We neyer talked about the epi- sode again until I asked permission to write this account of my dream. My daughter-in-law still has the letter I wrote her, the Navy card from the hospital ship Comfort and the V-mail letter from R. M. which
Page 56
54 said, “Got hurt but not good enough to come home.” The official Marine picture of Sergeant R. M. C. receiving the Purple Heart for valor beyond and above the call of duty shows his poor hands and arms still in band- ages. FATE After 18 years the Purple Heart lying in it’s velvet case is a per- petual reminder to all of us of the events which took place in July, 1944: Two of us, my son and I, perhaps remember the events more vividly than do the others — for we both were there. — DIVINE VENGEANCE AT BABI-YAR? HE STORY OF A strange explosion bearing all the earmarks of a miraculous ven- geance, recently was related in a letter to the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent. The letter, signed by Leon Rettig, stated that the facts came from an article published in a Yiddish newspaper by a prominent A- merican rabbi. The explosion occurred inthe spring of 1961 in the town of Babi-Yar, a suburb of Kiev, Russia. In Babi-Yar 130,000 men, women and children had been slain by the Nazis with the help of willing Ukrainians and buried in an unmarked mass grave. In 1959 Soviet gov- ernment ordered the building of an amusment park on the site. As the project neared com- pletion, the earth of Babi-Yar suddenly and without warning exploded like an erupting vol- cano. The force of the unex- plained blast was so great that it demolished many homes and factories and killed more than 200 people, according to the American embassy and eyewit- nesses. Was it, as some suggest- ed, the wrath of God? — DEATH ON SCHEDULE N DAVAO, Philippines, Felisimo Servantes, 71, had a reputa- tion as a man who never changed his mind once he made it up. Recently he asked Maryknoll Father Justin B. Kennedy to perform the last rites of the church for him, explaining that he was going to die the next day. During Mass the following morn- ing Father Kennedy reportedly received news of Servantes’ death.

There were eight children in our family and we lived on a farm one mile south of Almont, Mich. Fre- quently telepathy was a factor in the games we played. For example, we played a game called “hiding eggs” during the week before Easter. In the spring our hens often hid their nests and one might find their eggs almost -anywhere on the farm. Beginning eight days before Easter we would see who could find the most eggs before Easter morning. If we found where our brothers or sisters had hidden their eggs we could take their eggs, too. We always had great difficulty in keeping our eggs hidden, be- cause of telepathic interception of each other’s thoughts. If, for in- 53) stance, one of my brothers who was particularly psychic came near me and I happened to think of where I had hidden my eggs he would immediately say, “Oh, I know where you have your eggs hidden,” -and he’d run directly to the spot and claim them — whether they were in a trunk in the attic, in the hollow of a tree in the or- chard, or buried under the oats in a granary bin. JULIA BRISTOL BISCHOFF
Page 58
56 In fact, we all soon discovered that we could find where the oth- ers had hidden their eggs more quickly by striving to pick up their thoughts, than we could by hours of hunting. Eventually, the only way I could keep my eggs was to hold a mental picture of them in some place where they were not. Occasionally we ran into other mental phenomena, such as pre- monitions. Once, on January 5, 1921, when I was in my teens, the ther- mometer had dropped to five below zero and the ground was covered with a foot of snow. But it was warm and cozy in our living room and I sat down at a big old-fash- ioned desk which we called a secre- tary to write a letter to a friend who was away at college. When I reached the bottom of my first page, however, I suddenly realized that I had written, “I have a feeling that something dreadful is going to happen.” I had not intended to write that. It seemed a stupid thing to say in a letter and I couldn’t understand why I had written it. So I threw away the sheet of paper and be- gan again. A few minutes later I stopped to read over my second beginning and discovered I had written the same thing again. Once more I threw the sheet in the wastebasket. This time I made an outline of the things I wanted to say —that our skating had been FATE ruined by snow, but that the sled- ding was wonderful, etc. Yet, de- spite my most earnest endeavor to stick to my outline I discovered that for the third time I had writ- ten, “I have a feeling that some- thing dreadful is going to happen.” In disgust I started again. This time I related my odd experience and said, “Now that I have this out of the way, since it seems I must write it, I can go on to tell you what we’ve been doing late- ly .. .” I then proceeded to follow my outline. Before I finished my letter my parents went to bed. I learned later that Mother, too, had a strange, uneasy feeling that night. After she got in bed the feeling was so in- tense that she could not sleep. She kept thinking, “Suppose this old frame farmhouse of ours caught fire. We’re miles from the nearest fire engine. We always ought to know where there is a ladder in case of emergency.” Despite the deep snow and ex- treme cold Mother finally slipped out of bed, drew on some boots and with a heavy shawl over her night- dress went prowling around our several barns in search of a ladder. She finally found one standing against the north side of the cow barn. Around 5:00 o’clock the next morning, while we all were sleep- ing, a passer-by on the road noticed
Page 59
te PS ai Bene TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES flames coming out of our roof. Be- fore he could wake us the entire top of the house was in flames. We had time just to get out in our night clothes. Only a few pieces of furniture from the living room were saved. One of these was the secre- tary — with my prophetic letter still in it. Suddenly, Mother missed my old- est brother, Bill. Suspecting that he had gone back to his upstairs room to save some things, she said to a neighbor who had arrived, “Hurry to the north side of the cow barn. Get the ladder there and put it up to Bill’s window. He may be in- side.” The neighbor lost no time. He found Bill lying on the floor of his room, overcome with smoke. We learned that Bill, realizing he was trapped since the flames already wére devouring the stairways, had started toward the window intend- ing to jump out but had collapsed before reaching it. Mother’s premonition saved his life. — Fort Lauderdale, Fla. OUT OF MY BODY By Allen R. Biles eRe 22, 1960, was a very pleasant and beautiful day in Pontiac, Mich. I felt in an ex- ceptionally peaceful frame of mind as I sat down that afternoon to meditate on the nature of things. I do not know how long I sat in ated ALLEN R, BILES deep meditation, but suddenly I felt as though my entire body had become weightless. I was over- whelmed with ecstasy. I never had felt so utterly exuberant in my life. It was as though the whole universe were in love with me and I with it. Abruptly the silence was shat- tered by the ringing of the doorbell and I stood up to answer it. I had walked some 18 feet toward the door when, for some unexplained reason, I looked back at the chair in which I had been sitting. There, to my utter amazement, still sitting in the chair, was my physical body. To say that I was disturbed, shaken and distressed at the astonishing realization that I was operating freely and indepen- dently of my physical body would be the grossest understatement of the year. I was astounded, even electri- fied. The thought raced through my

Just then, mysteriously and un- explainably, I was back in my phy- sical body and the doorbell was ringing. I got up and answered it. The effects of this staggering ex- perience must have been visible on my face for as Kingsley Wade looked at me his mouth dropped open and he stood staring at me and finally asked, “What in the world happened to you?” — Pon- tiac, Mich. HEALING SCREW WORMS By Molly Anstiss apart COW is sure going to die. She’s got screw worms so close to her eye you'll never be able to doctor her,” the new farm hand told his boss. “No, she won’t die and I won’t have to doctor her at all. I’ll get Louie to heal her with absent treat- ment,” the farmer retorted. “And who is Louis and what is absent treatment?” the hand in- quired. Many cattlemen are finding out who Louis Bourgeois is. This 75- year-old farmer of Boerne, Tex., has been healing wild deer, cows, goats, pigs, hogs and all types of wild and farm animals, by prayer for 47 years. I visited Mr. and Mrs. Bour- FATE geois on their modest farm near Boerne and he taught me the “art” of healing with prayer. He says anyone with faith can heal, al- though he limits his own powers to animals with screw worms. Oc- casionally he takes warts from the hands of friends. The owner of the animal, or the wart, does not have to believe that he can do it. Mr. Bourgeois takes no pay, but each Christmas grateful farmers ac- ‘knowledge his efforts during the year with gifts of meat for his table. Seated at the modest table in their kitchen after supper, his pet dog in his lap, Louis told me how he had started healing. “T learned from a friend, Mrs. Clara Reinhard Schwarz,” he said. “T was getting ready to leave after a visit at her home. I told her I had to get home early to treat a turkey hen with worms. She offered to treat it. But when I got home the hen was dead. “However, the first time I tried the prayer formula, it worked. I never follow up my cases, though.” In fact, Mr. Bourgeois asks his ranchers to “forget it” once they have described the color of the an- imal and told him the exact spot of the infestation. He says goats and sheep are hard- er to heal because they are so much alike it is difficult for the rancher to describe them, and thus hard for him to get a mental picture of the
Page 61
te. 4 Ca TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES individual animal needing treatment. He uses this mental picture as he says his prayer. The prayer is re- peated three times each day for three days. Summer time finds Bourgeois much in demand, since this is the time of infestation for cattle. He has had as many as seven calls a day for healing. Ranchman Walter Esser, of Ken- dall County, says Bourgeois has treated his cattle for two years without a failure. “T estimate he has cured 40 cat- tle of worms,” Esser says. “Of course, I don’t just sit back and let him cure all my cattle this way. I give him only the cases I can’t cure for some reason or another —— where the wound is inaccessible or danger- ous to treat—or where the cattle are wild and I can’t catch them to treat them. “After Louis has taken the ‘case’, I forget about it, but, of course, I check my cattle regularly, so I can see that the animal is healed dur- ing these check-ups. I used to think this faith healing method was for weak-minded folks, but I am a firm believer now.” Mina Adams, realtor and rancher “of Boerne, Tex., says: “About 20 years ago I had a yearling colt that ran into the barbed wire and got out, and then got worms in the cut. I went to Louie for help because I had heard 59 about him, but told him I didn’t have any faith in his method. But he cured the animal.” Kendall County Commissioner Ed Whitworth also has seen faith in action. He had a three-year-old horse that ran into a fence and cut his brisket. “He got so bad I used Louie as a last resort. “Several days later I went out to feed the horse and noticed he still had the cut and the worms. But when I looked closer I saw: the worms dropping out of the cut. And he was healed.” Louie’s talents come in particu- larly handy when the animal is wild, such as steers or deer. Many farmers in Kendall County feed deer and shelter them behind deer- proof fences, but cannot doctor them, Alex Bremer, Boerne realtor, tells of seeing the effects of Mr. Bour- geois’ treatment on such a deer. He says “the worms dropped off as though they were running away from something.” He also vows that “Louie’s absent treatment of prayer is very effective. I have known many such cases that he has healed. The ranchers just give Louie a description of what the an- imal looks like and where the in- fection is.” Bourgeois himself does not think he is doing anything unusual. He says, “Healing is not a lost art. It

But it was only a dream. Boxcars don’t come flying at you. Besides we were 100 miles from the scene of the dream. Yet the vivid image haunted me. I told myself that dreams are nothing, that I had heard a noise and reconstructed it into a crash. Later that day, December 15, 1958, I was struck by a recurring illness. I carelessly had neglected to have my prescription refilled, -and this meant motoring back to our home town, Cherokee, Iowa, the very scene of my dream! We were unable to start before evening. This meant driving after dark — another factor in my dream! The night was cold. Frost formed on the windshield. Visibil- ity was practically zero. As we en- FATE tered town, my daughter Janis ex- pressed a wish to see our former home although we already had passed Fifth St. where the house stood. My husband turned sharply in- to a narrow, unlighted side street. It cut through the switch yards and angled to Fifth. We approached a “blind crossing,” no lights, no bells. Low buildings blocked the view of the tracks. It was a death trap. Suddenly the scene took on sickening familiarity. “Stop! Stop!” I screamed, clawing at my hus- band’s arm. Although he could see no ob- stacle, my husband heeded the ur- gency in my voice. The tires squeal- ed. The car skidded to a stop. Im- mediately there was a terrifying crash as a switch engine rammed a string of boxcars — from out of no- where they came careening in front of us, inches from the car! We sat pale and shaken. I know now I could not have seen the danger.

62 own consciousness, or subconscious- ness, or superconsciousness,” he says. “And when J get anything wrong I’m not blaming the dead for it.” Is ESP a gift from the “spirits” or is it one of man’s natural senses which is vestigial and which in most people has now nearly atroph- ied from disuse? This is a contro- versial point among psychical re- searchers. There is a current ten- dency among the psychics themselves to go along with the latter view. Peter Hurkos, a well-known modern sensitive, never has claimed that his psychic inspiration is spiritual; and Ronald Edwin strongly defends the position that his is not. Edwin is an emphatic man. And, it would seem, a frank one. Those who have read his book, Clock Without Hands, know that he con- fesses in it to once having been a fraudulent medium. He since has put all false mediumship aside and has made efforts to improve his character and his personality as well. In Clock Without Hands he ap- peared almost to brag that he had antagonized the panel of the What’s My Line television show and its viewers by his conceited manner and his cocksure answers. One, meeting him now, doubts that he would do this again. The former egotistical manner has softened to an entertaining pertness. FATE Everything Ronald Edwin has, except his ESP, has been won by his own efforts. When it was re- marked that his English is better than one might expect from a self- educated person, he replied, “I was born in England, so I thought I would learn the language.” But he had no schooling after he was 14. He was one of three brothers in a very poor family. “My mother was a religious bigot and my father was a drunk. They never should have married because that is why my father took to drink,” he says frankly. During a very unhappy childhood he had a bad fall shortly before his ninth birthday and it was soon after this that he saw Mrs. Gordon on his mantlepiece, in color. He began to know the teacher’s next question before she asked it and in other ways to distinguish himself among his schoolmates with his super-normal knowledge. His new- found talent was cherished because it gave him one thing in all the world which set him apart and made others look up to him. After his mother’s death when he was 14 Ronald was more or less on his own. He worked as a porter, a lift attendant (elevator operator) and at one time was in the Mer- chant Navy. When he was in his late teens he began to attend Spiritualist meet- ings but soon discovered that he
Page 65
THE AMAZING MR. E.S.P. could do as well as the mediums he watched. And he could do it with- out the aid of their “spirits.” When he began to speak out at meetings, however, his flippancy antagonized the religious people present. He soon decided to start his own so- ciety, on his own terms; and he prospered with it. He believed in lively meetings. His slogan was, “No hymns, no hard seats, and no hypocracy.” He gave private sit- tings as well and his motto there was, “If I am not satisfied with the material I receive for you, you don’t pay.” Even then he was be- ginning to set high goals for him- self. But it was to be a long hard road before he achieved them. He never seemed to get much precog- nitive ESP for himself. Due to the antagonism of medi- ums who, he says, he was “putting in the shade,” he decided to put on the same acts they did. So he re- sorted to the type subterfuge he in- sists was practiced by many of the professional mediums he knew. He produced materializations made from gauze; he even faked spirit photo- graphy. With these phenomena he became very popular in England and, later, in South Africa. How- ever, it was not too long before he decided he did not wish to make his living by false pretenses, especi- ally since he was confident his own real talent would sustain him if he let it. 63 About this time he was asked to write a book on his experiences and he took this opportunity to make a clean breast of it. He wrote: “I have been a fraudulent medium and have grossly misused the gift of ESP.” He said he was ashamed of the fact. Clock Without Hands was well- received in England, has been re- printed in America and translated into German in Switzerland. Edwin has been in Trinidad re- _ cently, where he had his own radio program and was written up fre- quently in the newspapers as “Mr. E.S.P.” He has spent some time in the United States during the past year lecturing and promoting the sale of a record Top Secrets of Tomorrow which gives a number of his predictions for the future. He also has been to Duke University where some tests were given him at the Parapsychology Laboratory by Doctors J. B. Rhine and J. Gai- ther Pratt. On the stage, when he gives demonstrations of his ESP powers, Ronald Edwin makes every effort to keep his audiences from giving him clues. When he gives individ- ual psychic readings he does the same. He doesn’t want help, and asks his subjects to answer “Yes” or “No” and not to elaborate. At a lecture at the Ethical and Cultural Society in New York City last February, where he was so
Page 66
64 well-liked he was asked to return within the month, Edwin seemed to have many authentic psychic im- pressions for members of the audi- ence. He suggested to one woman that she had trained to be a nurse. She said she had and he added, “But you are not now following it, are you?” She said she was not. A Negro woman in the audience was asked about the names Judy or Julie... “Ah,” he said, “they are nicknames for Juliana.” The woman told him that her name was Juliana and that she was called both Judy and Julie. He described to her a little old church which she admitted she had attended years before. Then he gave her the name “Marsh Road.” She denied any knowledge of it. “Perhaps you mean Manassas,” she said; but Edwin appeared indignant. “No, Marsh Road is what I said, and that is what I meant. Think about it and you will recall the name.” She then remembered that the little old church had stood on Marsh Road. Several of the predictions made by Mr. E.S.P. on his record Top Secrets of Tomorrow have already come true (though perhaps it is not quite possible to determine whether or not the trends were recognizable at the time the prognostications were made). He said, for instance, “Mr. Castro is going to find himself in a very rickety position” for the FATE attitude of the United States will be to cold shoulder Cuba in the matter of trading in 1962.” This cold-shouldering occurred soon after the first of the year. He stated that women this year would be wearing fluorescent makeup remi~ niscent of ancient Egypt and Queen Nefertiti, on the upper part of their faces. The “Cleopatra trend could, perhaps, have been predicted be- cause of the film of that name being made with Elizabeth Taylor as the star. But then there were the unusual- ly high tides which he predicted would affect England and the low lying areas of the continent. In February the greatest storm in years caused devastation. Edwin predicted, on the record, that general telegraph and electric- ity stocks would be good in 1962 because of an expansion of a gov- ernment project that “has some- thing to do with an orbital space station that has to do with com- - munication and world wide con- | tact.” This will be announced, he said. On February 7th the headlines read JFK Urges Big Private Net of Satellites for Radio-TV, as the President urged Congress for relay stations in space. Some predictions which had not yet come true at the time of this writing were that a new television company would enter the market in

This man will have ideas equal to our own Professor Einstein’s, only “his ideas will have to do with the telescoping of time and space in regard to outer space concepts,” Edwin says no one will get to the moon in 1962 or 1963. He thinks, however, that the United States will raise Old Glory on some ridge on the moon before very long, possibly in 1964 if the crash pro- gram which he says the United States Government now has to beat 65 Russia to the moon is effective. As for Khruschev, his health will be in question in 1962. He will have something wrong either with his circulatory system or something re- lating to his circulatory system which will require surgery. He will not be active in politics very much longer. By the end of 1963 he will have retired.

Vacca passed away unexpectedly of a heart attack on June 238, according to a letter from his wife, Martha. In her let- ter she stated, “I should like to express my thanks to the many Farr readers who participated in my husband’s research on the human aura. After the appearance of his article, Research on the Human Aura (Fatr, September, 1960), he received many letters which I regret must remain unanswered, since I have no talent to see the aura and am unable to answer the questions which have been asked.” In his last moments, Martha Vacca also tells us, Louis was aware that he must leave this world, and his final words to her were, “I’ll be back, I promise.”

Kalima was dead and about to be buried—then she returned to life to tell this remarkable story. JOaRty In 1892 Kalima, who 4~“lived in Kona, Hawaii, was sick for many weeks and at last died. Her friends gathered around her and, with loud cries of grief and many expressions of affection and sorrow at their loss, they pre- pared her body for the grave. Her grave was dug and when everything was ready for the last sad act her husband and friends came to take a final look at the rigid form and ashen face before it was laid away forever in the 66 By leone El Trott ground. Kalima’s old mother sat on the mat-covered ground beside her child, brushing away the in- trusive flies with a piece of cocoa- | nut leaf, and wiping away the tears | that slowly rolled down her cheeks. “She was such a good girl,” her mother said in a sob-choked voice. Now and then she would break in- to a low, heartrending wail and tell how good her daughter always had been to her, how her husband had loved her, and how her children would find no one to take her place.
Page 69
“Oh, why,” she wept, “did the gods leave me? I am old. I am heavy with years. My back is bent and*my eyes are getting dark. I cannot work and I am too old and weak to enjoy fishing in the sea, or dancing and feasting under the trees. But this, my child, loved all these things and was so happy. Why is she taken and I, so use- less, left?” Again and again that mournful, sob-choked wail broke on the still air, was borne out to the friends gathered under the trees before the door, and was taken up and re- peated till the hardest heart would have softened and melted at the sound. As they sat around on the mats looking at their dead and listening to the old mother, suddenly Kalima moved, took a long breath and opened her eyes. They were fright- ened at the miracle, but so happy to have her back again among them. The old mother raised her hands and eyes to heaven and, with a rapt look of faith on her brown withered face, exclaimed: “The gods have let her come back! How they must love her!” Mother, hus- band and friends gathered around, rubbed Kalima’s hands and feet and did what they could for her comfort. In a few minutes she re- vived enough to say, “I have some- thing very strange to tell you.” 67 Several days passed before she was strong enough to say more; then calling her relatives and friends about her, she told them the following weird and strange story: “T died, as you know. I seemed to leave my body and stand beside it, looking down on what was me. The me that was standing there looked like the form I was looking at, only, I was alive and the other was dead. I gazed at my body for a few minutes, then turned and walked away. I left the house and village, and walked on and on to the next village, and there I found crowds of people, oh, so many peo- ple! The place which I knew was a small village of a few houses was a very large place, with hundreds of houses, and thousands of men, women and children. Some of them I knew and they spoke to me — although that seemed strange, for I knew they were dead — but near- ly all were strangers. They were all so happy! They seemed to have not a care; nothing to trouble them. Joy was in every face, and happy laughter, and bright, loving words on every tongue. “T Jeft that village and walked on to the next. I was not tired, for it seemed no trouble to walk. It was the same there; thousands of people, and every one so joyous and happy. Some of these I knew. I spoke to a few people, then went
Page 70
68 on again. I seemed to be on my way to the volcano—to Pele’s Pit — and could not stop, much as I wanted to do so. “All along the road were houses and people, where I had never known any one to live. Every bit of good ground had many houses, and many, many happy people on it. I felt so full of joy, too, that my heart sang within me, and I was glad to be dead. “Tn time I came to South Point and there, too, was a great crowd of people. The barren point was a great village. I was greeted with happy alohas, then passed on. All through Kau it was the same, and I felt happier every minute. At last I reached the volcano. There were some people there, but not so many as at other places. They, too, were happy like the others, but they said, ‘You must go back to your body. You are not to die yet.’ “T did not want to go back. I begged and prayed to be allowed to stay with them, but they said, ‘No, you must go back; and if you do not go willingly, we will make you go.’ “T cried and tried to stay, but they drove me back, even beating me when I stopped and would not g0. “So I was driven over the road _ I had come, back through all those happy people. They were still joy- ous and happy, but when they saw FATE that I was not allowed to stay, they turned on me and helped drive me, too. “Over the 60 miles I went, weep- ing, followed by those cruel peo- ple, till I reached my home, and stood by my body again. “T looked at it and hated it. Was that my body? What a horrid, loathsome thing it was to me now, since I had seen so many beautiful, happy creatures! Must I go into and live in that thing again? No, I would not go into it; I rebelled and cried for mercy. “You must go into it, we will make you!’ said my tormentors. They took me and pushed me head foremost into the big toe. “T struggled and fought, but could not help myself. They pushed and beat me again when I tried for the last time to escape. When I passed the waist, I seemed to know it was of no use to struggle any more; so went in the rest of the way myself. Then my body came to life again, and I opened my eyes. “But I wish I had stayed with those happy people. It was cruel to make me come back. My other body was so beautiful, and I was so happy, so happy.” emer k This story was first written by C. B. Haley, who added this foot- note: “The woman Kalima was alive when this was told me, and the one who told it had heard the

Arp of Mount Wilson and Mount Palomar Observatories. Dr. Arp is a proponent. of the view that all the matter form- ing the universe once was con- centrated at a point in space. This incredibly dense ball of stuff exploded into an expand- . ing cloud of hydrogen gas. As the cloud cooled, it formed spin- ning clusters from which the galaxies evolved. Opposed to this theory is the “steady state” view, which holds that the universe always ex- isted and that the birth and death of matter and energy continuously take place. The “big bang” is thought to have occurred eight billion to 10 billion years ago. Dr. x Arp’s new theory attempts to explain why some _ galaxies, such as our own Milky Way, are just now contracting and giving birth to new stars. He suggests that some of the pri- mordial clusters spun rapidly and some spun slowly, or hardly at all. Slow-spinning clusters contracted rapidly into dense galaxies in which stars formed quickly. Fast-spinning clus- ters, however, contracted slowly into less dense galaxies, like the Milky Way, in which stars formed slowly and still are forming. As evidence for this theory Dr. Arp reported that observa- tions of dense galactic clusters have shown that they contain mostly old red stars. The least dense clusters have been found to contain bright blue stars still in the process of formation. ax} a We

Bringing THE BIBLE Healing of the Nobleman's Son — From John 4 — 43 Now after two days he de- parted thence, and went into Gali- lee. 44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country. 45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast. 46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee where he made the water wine. And there was a certain noble- man, whose son was sick at Caper- naum, 47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. 48 Then said Jesus unto him, Ex- cept ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. 49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man be- lieved the word that Jesus had spo- ken unto him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him; and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. 52 Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to a mend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 53 So the father knew that it was the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. 54 This is again the second mir- acle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee. Many incidents of a paranormal nature are recorded in the Bible— a fact which many persons may have forgotten, or of which they may not have been aware. We, therefore, have asked Alson J. Smith, retired Methodist Minister and well-known author (his book, A View of the Spree, currently is a best-seller) to give us a series of such Bible stories together with a retelling in modern parapsychological and psychological terms. This is the first of our series. Both FATE Magazine and Mr. Smith will welcome your com- ments.

UP TO DATE AN pay In the Light of Parapsychology and Modern Knowledge 5 Be MOST interesting thing about Jesus’ healing of the no- bleman’s son, as described in John A, is that it took place from a con- siderable distance. Jesus was at Cana. The sick boy was at Caper- naum. However, the modern para- psychologist is not surprised at this, for card-calling, picture identifica- tion, and other experiments across the ocean have clearly demonstrated the fact that the psi effect is not diminished by space. Today many psychic or faith heal- ers can effect healings at a distance through prayer, as do Christian Sci- ence practitioners and various church prayer groups. These healings, like Jesus’ healing of the nobleman’s son, are prayer- healings and constitute a striking demonstration of psychokinesis—the transmuting of spiritual energy into physical energy which then can be applied to the physical part of the body afflicted with disease. Although the short account in the Gospel does not mention Jesus prayed, we know that prayer was the method He usually employed. Also, He always attributed His “signs” (miracles) to God, who could be reached only by prayer. This healing was instantaneous, as the nobleman ascertained (vs. 53) when he got home. Nor does this surprise the modern parapsycholo- 7i gist, for he is aware that modern prayer healers also effect instan- taneous cures. Please note that this was in no sense a faith-healing. The noble- man’s son presumably did not know his father had asked Jesus to heal him and, in any case, did not have faith, since the Gospel tells us (vs. 58) that the nobleman’s family did not believe until after the healing. We see Jesus here as clairvoyant (“Go thy way; thy son liveth’—vs. 50) and once again we are remind- ed that he possessed more charis- matic power than anyone else whose history we know. We can make an explanation of such healings as this one in terms of modern parapsychology. Still, they are “miraculous” since they are effected outside of any natural law now known. When the higher law under which they are possible be- comes known, they will cease to be miracles. The airplane, although defying the law of gravity, did not abolish it but merely affirmed the existence of the higher principle—of aerody- namics. That modern healers also can heal instantaneously and at a dis- tance does not detract from what Jesus did, but justifies Jesus’ own words to his disciples: ‘Greater things than these shall ye do.”

This device is an ink drawing on paper—yet test subjects say it produces sensations in their hands. MONG THE weirdest machines possible to devise is one that outdoes any gadget ever dreamed up by cartoonist Rube Goldberg. It is a machine that consists entirely of ink-on-paper schematic diagrams —yet it works. This is equivalent to obtaining broadcast music from an ink-drawn schematic diagram of a radio receiver. Several years ago I discovered such a machine. It produces tac- tile sensations (such as tingling or heat) in the hands of human test subjects when its prism-dial is ad- justed to certain settings. I em- phasize the fact that people report detecting these sensations only at certain dial settings. I call this device the Hieronymus Machine, Symbolic Type III. Orig- inally it was constructed for the purpose of detecting and analyzing 72 elements in ore samples. Through experimentation and happenstance, however, the archetype was modi- fied and applied in a variety of ways, so that today the Hierony- mus Machine numbers among its possible functions the prediction of future events. In a 1949 patent granted him by the United States Patent Office Thomas G. Hieronymus stated: “The primary aim of this inven- tion is the provision of a method and apparatus for detecting the presence of any element or combin- ation of elements that may be in the substance under observation and to determine the intensity or quantity thereof. : “This invention has for a still further object to provide a method and means for detecting the pres- ence of and analyzing and measur-

ing the quantity or intensity of elements or combinations of ele- ments in the substance under ob- servation through the capture and analysis of radiations emanating from the said elements, whether the said radiations be of electrical or optical characteristics, or both.” According to Hieronymus’ the- ory, then, each element (such as silver or gold, carbon or chlorine) emits its own unique radiation which, he maintained, could be de- tected and amplified by the circu- itry of his machine. Briefly, the circuitry consisted of a detecting section involving a movable prism or lens which refracted the theoreti- cal radiations emanating from the elements and passed these radi- ations into the amplifying sections of the machine. In these sections electrical transformers increased the intensity of the emanations, in much the same manner as the trans- formers and tubes in a radio re- ceiver amplify incoming radio sig- nals. The amplified emanations then were passed through an electrical- ly-conductive plate at the output Psionic machine consists of a schematic drawing (1) connected at points A and B by wires or strings to sensor coil (2).

When the op- erator of the machine placed his hand on this plate and stroked it, he reportedly experienced tactile Sensations in his palm or finger- tips.

THE PHENOMENAL PSIONIC MACHINE 75 TABLE I TINGLING PULSING, VIBRATION HEAT COLD REACTION-TYPE COUNT REACTION-TYPE NO.OF REPORTS FROM: MALES | FEMALES TOTALS: Of various sensations reported by subjects predominant one was of tingling in hand. Astounding Science Fiction (cur- rently renamed Analog Science Fact and Fiction), Editor John W. Campbell, Jr. published an article, “Psionic Machine—Type One”, de- scribing his own work with the Hieronymus Machine. Campbell re- ported having found that he could substitute radio tubes for the trans- formers which Hieronymus had used for amplifiers in his circuit. This discovery was perhaps not so remarkable in itself, but some other claims Campbell made certainly were more than startling. He as- serted he had discovered that the machine functioned properly when its source of electrical power (the A.C. house line) was removed from the circuit by unplugging it from the wall socket. Moreover, Campbell maintained, if one of the tubes was removed from its socket, or if a burned-out tube was substituted for one that worked, the machine would not operate. I must explain that the original Hieronymus Machine, as described in the 1949 patent, used transfor- mers rather than radio tubes. Therefore, in terms of standard ra- dio theory, no outside source of electrical power (such as A.C. house lines) was, or should have been, re- quired for proper operation of the machine. Campbell’s modification of the original circuit, however, substituted tubes for transformers. Therefore, according to convention- al radio theory, some supply of electricity should have been re- quired to operate the tubes and make the machine function. Appar- |
Page 78
76 ently, however, the Hieronymus Machine could operate indepen- dently of electrical power, but would not function at all if its principal components (in this case, the electron tubes) were in any way disturbed. HE DISCOVERIES continued to come. One year later, in an article titled ““Unprovable Specula- tion,” in the February, 1957, issue of Astounding, Campbell introduced his readers to Hieronymus Ma- chine, Type II. This version of the machine departed radically from its electronic predecessors. It contained no electrical components, but con- sisted almost exclusively of ink- lines drawn on ordinary paper! Through experimentation, Camp- bell had determined that a purely symbolic representation of the elec- tronic circuitry would serve the purpose of actual tubes and wires. Campbell printed detailed in- structions for the construction and operation of the new machine, Sym- bolic Type II. As I painstakingly attempted to follow his directions, I unwittingly stumbled onto a dis- covery of my own—the discovery which happily produced Hierony- mus Machine, Symbolic Type III. My own version of the machine differs from previous models in that it utilizes no ore samples—in fact, uses no known input of any kind whatever. In other words, Hierony- FATE mus Machine, Symbolic Type III, is not an element-analyzer. The machine operator or test subject merely places his hand on the sen- sor coil or sensor plate (a metal sheet laid over the sensor coil) and tunes the prism-dial. At certain definite positions of the dial—and at no other points—the subject will, if he is sensitive to the machine, experience subtle sensations which he may describe as heat, tingling, vibrations, or the like. The most re- markable early discovery—indeed, the only single finding which could have roused me out of my initial lethargy—was that the people I tested, although few in number, seemed to respond very consistently only at certain dial settings, and that these settings quite often were the same for different persons. In other words, the fact that several persons (none of whom could ob- serve the prism-dial) responded at the 90. degree reading of the dial, and never at any other point, sug- gested to me that the reports of “tingling in the fingers” and “heat in the palm of the hand” might be caused by something other than au- to-suggestion, random guessing, or just plain sleepy fingertips. Possessing healthy scientific scepticism, I determined to perform a systematic experiment to see if the test subjects were, in fact, re- sponding to some kind of non-ran- dom phenomenon. As I set out on
Page 79
- THE PHENOMENAL PSIONIC MACHINE 77 my investigation in 1958 I felt as though I were stepping out into a kind of twilight corridor; the eerie feeling pervading my early days of experimentation cannot readily be described. The data which emerged originally were re- ported in 1959*, and are repro- duced now in the pages of Fame. In my experiment I selected, at random, 100 persons (52 males, 48 females**) as test subjects for the machine. No information-was given them about the nature or purpose of the investigation. During the ex- periment, no subject was permitted to see the machine’s circuitry or to observe the position of the tuning dial. No subject was informed be- forehand as to what sensations he might experience; but it was con- sidered advantageous to request each person to report anything he might experience in his hand or fin- gers, no matter how slight the sen- sation. Admittedly, this technique of re- questing each subject to report any — sensation he might feel probably predisposed some subjects to look * See “Brass Tacks,’’ Astounding, Feb- ruary, 1959 or ‘‘Progress Report — The Hieronymus Machine, Symbolic Type III, Western Radio Amateur, February 29, 1960. (The latter article is mainly a re- print of the former.) ** These figures were quoted as 50 males, 50 females, through my own er- ror, in the February, 1959, Astounding, and subsequently revised to the correct figures, 52 males, 48 females in the Feb- ruary 29, 1960 edition of Western Radio Amateur. for, or even to imagine, the pres- ence of some kind of stimulation in their hands. But earlier work has indicated that often, when no one had alerted the subjects to the fos- sibility of feeling something, they would ignore the subtle sensations and later, after the test was com- pleted, would exclaim that they had felt something but had thought it only imaginary. And since there were a number of ways to discrim- inate between subjects who were, presumably, imagining the pres- ence of stimulation, and those who were, presumably, responding in a non-random way to the machine, it was decided that there was a lit- tle danger and much advantage in informing the subjects beforehand to be alert for any sensation. Each test consisted of six revo- lutions of the prism-dial, three times for each of the subjects’ hands which were placed one at a time, palm down, on the sensor plate. The immediate testing en- vironment was not especially con- ducive to concentration, unfortun- ately, and later it was supposed that the results of the experiment might have been even more posi- tive than they were, had the sur- roundings been more nearly ideal. This was not wishful thinking; sub- sequent rechecking of several previ- ously negative subjects indicated that they were, apparently, positive.
Page 80
78 (These rechecked subjects’ reports were not, of course, compounded with the data from the experiment itself.) The attached tables show the results, All data are based on 100 persons, 52 males and 48 fe- males, ROM THE DATA obtained in this limited experiment, it is evident that 25 per cent of the 100 persons tested were positive. (This is a conservative figure.) Of them, eight per cent were male, 17 per cent female. The remaining 75 per cent were negative or doubtful. This seems a significant number of positive results. There appears to be little probability that they were produced by chance or by auto-suggestion. The majority of persons who tested positive responded at only one point on the prism-dial. Most of these subjects reported sensa- tions at the same dial-point, the 90-degree position of the prism- dial. The predominant report was of a kind of electrical tingling in the palm of the hand or in the fingers. Some subjects reported sensations in only one hand. As to how the machine may op- erate, I offer the following discoy- eries—not as facts but rather as the barest clues. These discoveries were, in general, made during ex- periments prior to the 1958 in- FATE vestigation. I list them in descend- ing order of likelihood. That is, the discoveries I discuss first seem, in the light of supporting evidence, to be the most probable, the most nearly accurate descriptions of the way in which the Hieronymus Ma- chine operates. Bvidence indicates that, when the symbolic capacitor in the ‘“‘output” circuit of the machine is “short- circuited” with a metallic object such as a screwdriver, the subject immediately reports cessation of sensation in the hand being stimu- lated on the sensor plate. This is precisely the way one would ex- pect the machine to behave if it were electronic in nature. Likewise, when the output leads (the strings or threads connecting the machine to the sensor coil) are twisted together, the output ap- pears to stop abruptly, just as though there were a short-circuit in the system. But if the bare out- put leads are replaced with insu- lated wires, and if they. are twisted together over their protected por- tions, the subject continues to re- port sensations, just as though the output had not been interrupted— which is exactly what one would expect if the machine were electrical in nature. The sensor plate, which is placed on top of the sensor coil, seems to represent an important variable. I have discovered that subjects usu-

Prism-dial is set at “0” position. ally respond better using a metallic plate (preferably steel) rather than one of plastic, wood, masonite, etc. Also it is desirable to use a metal plate instead of no plate at all on top of the sensor coil. In general, varying the overall dimensions of the circuit does not seem to affect the output in any way. A machine no larger than a playing card will perform as well as one drawn to the dimensions of When machine is in op- eration, hands are posi- tioned as shown, Using a pen, the operator has turned the prism-dial to the 90-degree setting.

80 typewriter paper. The only critical component seems to be the printed capacitor: if its size is increased out of proportion to the rest of the circuit, the level of output seems to rise, that is, sensations seem to become stronger. There also seems reason to be- lieve that the length of the leads connecting the machine to the coil has a direct effect upon how long it will take for a subject to per- ceive a sensation. For example, when strings of more than 10 feet in length are attached to the output, there seems to be a delay of less than a second between the time when the dial is set at a predeter- mined resonance point and the mo- ment when the subject responds. And, if thousands of feet of inter- connecting wire are attached be- tween the output and the coil (as was actually done by hooking the machine into the telephone lines and “transmitting” the output sev- eral miles away to the sensor coil), the time lag will be as long as 10 seconds! This disconcerting discov- ery tends to suggest that the ma- chine is vot electrical in nature, or at least not electrical in any obvi- ous sense. There is some suggestion, too, that if the components of the cir- cuit are left connected in the prop- er way, but if they are physically rearranged in their relative posi- tion to one another, that the cir- FATE cuit as a whole ceases to function. There seems to be no patent ex- planation for this phenomenon! It is possible that telepathy ex- erts some effect upon the operation of the machine. On one or two oc- casions, supposedly unknown to the subject, I mentally envisioned the prism reset at the zero mark (it was actually pointing to the 90 degree resonance spot), and instant- ly the subject replied that the sensa- tion he had been experiencing had vanished! Conversely, on several occasions, when the prism was ac- tually set at 0 degree, I mentally pictured it pointing at 90 degrees, and the subject promptly responded that now he was feeling a sensa- tion in his hand. As I have suggested, then, these preliminary discoveries rank under the category of evidence only; much more” research must be car- ried out before it can be ascertained whether or not this body of evi- dence constitutes a factual descrip- tion of the way in which the Hier- onymus Machine operates. It is, therefore, my hope that these dis- coveries—together with the still more remarkable ene which I will mention later—will whet the appe- tites of Fate readers and will move them to build their own ma- chines, perform their own investi- gations, and perhaps provide the solutions to the mystery which cur- rently surrounds the Hieronymus

SS THE CAPTAIN’S “INNER VOICE” By Edward Konstant STRANGE and dramatic sea rescue, inspired by a premonition, led to a New Jer- sey town being given the unique name of Ship Bottom. During a storm one night in the late spring of 1817, Cap- tain Stephen Willets, owner of a sloop used for salvage and rescue operations along the southern New Jersey coast, felt compelled to go to sea. A be- liever in spiritual guidance, he explained later that an inner voice told him his services were needed along the coast. -He set sail over the object- ions of his crew and, when op- posite the present site of Ship Bottom, told his men someone needed help near shore. The re- luctant sailors took the sloop in as far as they dared but saw nothing. Insisting that they go farther, the captain ordered the lowering of a small boat and with half a dozen sailors rowed toward shore. - They had gone a short dis- tance when they discovered a ship’s hull, bottom up, in the pounding waves. Hearing a tapping from within the over- turned vessel, they rowed back to the sloop for axes. They re- turned and chopped through the planking, rescuing a Span- ish-speaking woman who was the sole survivor of the wreck, Captain Willets landed her on the beach where she kneeled and drew the sign of the cross in the sand with her finger. Ship Bottom was settled there the same year. The woman eventually went to New York and dropped out of sight, leaving no record of her name or that of the wrecked ship. —”

Spontaneous Regression a OF Miraculous fa Healing? When a malignancy is cured, medical science calls it a “spontaneous regression.” Others call it a miracle. But what is the difference except in words? By Evelyn De Stes As fold fo Rudolph Boris WAS ONCE under the impres- sion that people who believed in miracles and claimed that they do happen—in this enlightened day and age — were either the vic- tims of religious hysteria or were far, far out. I always maintained that these so-called miracles were merely nat- ural phenomena not yet understood by Science. I also maintained that Medicine and Science someday would be able to explain every re- corded spontaneous cure and in- explicable phenomenon. But now I know miracles do happen — because one happened to me! Early in August, 1961, I dis- covered a small, hard growth at . the base of my right lower jaw- bone. It was about the size and shape of a large almond, but pain- less. The lump puzzled me, but I ignored it, thinking perhaps it was a swollen gland or some minor in- flammation that would disappear by itself. Perhaps I ignored it be- cause J was afraid. Members of my family and those of my friends who knew of the growth urged me repeatedly to see a doctor. I recall how some of them reacted when J permitted them to feel the growth. They would touch it gingerly and then withdraw their hands quickly, and shudder. How- ever, most were more sympathetic. Everyone, though, insisted that every lump or foreign growth should
Page 86
84 be viewed with suspicion and should receive immediate medical attention. This went on for six worried months, during which my torment and terror grew. I became con- vinced I had cancer. I fought with despair until, finally, I decided I had to be sure. I went to see Dr. Joseph T., who had been our family physician for many years. By that time the lump had grown in size, and, though still painless, was as hard as ever. After examining me, Dr. T. suggested the lesion was a bone tumor. I trust Dr. T.’s ability and judg- ment implicity. Therefore, his diag- nosis merely added weight to the oppressive burden I had been carry- ing for months, and my haunting suspicion of cancer was reinforced. When Dr. T. noted my dismay he tried to pacify my fears. “Of course, it could be only a hard cyst or perhaps a swollen gland,” he said reassuringly. “But the only way to be certain is for a special- ist to examine you.” He suggested I see Dr. M., an eminent physician and bone surgeon. Subsequent inquiry of three other doctors convinced me of Dr. M.’s eminence, for each, in turn, after examining me, also recommended Dr. M. Dr. M. made various tests and took X-rays. After careful evalua- tion of the results it definitely was established that the lesion was in- FATE deed a bone tumor and that surgery was indicated. Now, four doctors had stated that surgery was the only way the growth could be re- moved. However, Dr. M. ruled out im- mediate surgery because it would be rather complicated and possibly would involve the removal of part of the jawbone. When I asked him the reason for the delay, he replied that it was rather difficult to pre- dict the course of tumors of this type. He further explained that sometimes these tumors suddenly reverse and begin to grow inwardly. He decided to adopt a policy of watchful waiting for two months. If by that time the growth had be- come larger or had changed in any way, he would operate without fur- ther delay. His words did very little to ele- vate my spirits. Dr. M. did not say outright that the growth was cancerous, but J felt the implication was there. I was nearly frantic with fear and worry. But there was nothing I could do except wait. And while I waited, my anxiety mounted each day, un- til my panic became so acute I thought I would go mad. My hus- band vainly tried to reassure me. His words of comfort and encour- agement failed to convince me I wasn’t seriously ill. I was despondent for fear a dreadful disease ultimately would

I found myself praying for the miracle I didn’t believe in, hoping against hope for some marvel to spare me the slow and agonizing death of that consuming merciless killer — cancer. ke Epes ONE NIGHT, just be- fore Easter, 1962, I had a singularly clear and vivid dream. All the incidents of this dream re- main etched on my memory. My mother, who has been dead for more than seven years, appeared to me. Now, I had dreamed of my mother before — many, many times —hbut in those dreams she always appeared to me as I knew her in life. In other words, the scenes I saw in my previous dreams were more or less recollections of the past. They were familiar scenes, such as walking with Mother in the garden, sitting at the table, etc. In this extraordinarily | vivid dream, however, my mother ap- peared entirely different, as I never had seen her in real life. I found myself in a place I never had dreamed of before nor ever im- agined to exist. We seemed to be suspended in a nebulous strata, drifting serenely through endless space. I experienced a sense of real- ity, but throughout it all I had a feeling of complete detachment, as though from without myself. Yet 85 everything was so real that after- wards I scarcely could believe it was a dream. In my dream Mother wore a long, flowing white gown with large bil- lowing sleeves, a type of garment unfamiliar to me. She was accom- panied by a strange man who seemed to be enveloped in a daz- zlingly brilliant aura which hardly can be described. I could not see the man’s face because he stood with his back partially towards me. Then Mother beckoned to me and we seemed to float toward each other. She was smiling, happy; yet she was firm in her manner and speech, The man with her remained silent while she spoke. She said, “Evelyn, you must be happy. Above all, I want you to be happy.” As she spoke she looked at my chin rather than directly at me. Then she said, “T hear you have been having trouble.” (I was particularly struck, as I later recalled the dream, by her words “I hear” rather than the words “I know.”) : “But don’t worry,” she continued. “Everything will be fine now.” She continued to stare at my chin. Then she said, “Evelyn, come closer.” When I approached she put her hand on my chin. She turned to the man at her side and took his hand. She appeared to squeeze his hand gently and, at the very same
Page 88
86 instant, with her other hand pressed down hard on my chin. My face seemed electrified, as if by a shock from a battery. It was not painful, but spread pleasantly downward over my entire body. At that precise moment the face belonging to the man with my mother came into focus. Then I saw —or, rather felt— He was Jesus. Mother removed her hand from my chin and smiled. “Everything will be fine now, Evelyn,” she said. Then she and the man with her seemed to float away and soon van- ished. I tried to follow, but I couldn’t. I began to cry. The next thing I knew my hus- band was shaking me gently. “Ey- elyn,” he was saying, “wake up, wake up! You’re crying in your sleep.” I sat up in bed, dazedly trying to get my bearings. When I realized I had been asleep I told my husband of my dream. He sat there in the semi-darkness, listen- ing silently, and tenderly wiping the tears from my face. Suddenly JI felt terribly thirsty and went into the kitchen for a glass of water. I flicked the wall switch and as the room flooded with light I noted that the clock read 3:00 A.M. I had been asleep two hours. I walked sleepily to- wards the sink thinking of my ex- traordinary dream. I still could hear my mother’s soft, reassuring words, and still could feel her firm but FATE gentle touch upon my chin. Un- thinkingly I put my own hand to my jaw and pressed. There was no lump there! At first, in my sleepy state, I thought I was touching the wrong side. I touched the other side and found that it, too, was free of any lump or growth. I. was completely bewildered. I kept pressing my jawbone, first with my fingers and then with the heel of my palm. The lump that had been there for nearly eight months (and which my husband and I had felt only two hours be- fore) had yanished completely. My head began to swim. The kitchen walls pulsated in large, billowing waves; the yellow fleurs- di-lis on them melted and flowed slowly downward like golden streams of honey. I steadied myself against the moving wall with outstretched arms. “Albert! Albert!” I shrieked. “Come here, quick! ” My husband came dashing into the kitchen? “What is it, Evelyn?” he cried. “What happened?” “The lump!” I answered. “It’s gone!” “What?” he asked incredulously. “Here. See your yourself,” I said. I placed his hand on my chin and waited breathlessly while he probed. I thought perhaps, after all, I had imagined it, and the lump was still there.
Page 89
MIRACULOUS HEALING? He withdrew his hand slowly and stared at my chin. “It’s gone, Ev- elyn,” he said. “It’s really gone.” He continued to stare in disbelief. “But it can’t be,” he muttered. “I felt it with iat own hands only two hours ago.” I reminded him a the dream I’d had only a short while before; I spoke again of the brilliant aura surrounding the person I felt was Jesus. And, at this precise moment, I realized a miracle had occurred! I began to sob uncontrollably. My husband touched my chin once more and as he, too, recognized the miracle, he, too, began to cry. After a while we became calmer. I experienced a sense of well-being and indescribable exhilaration, as though I had been set free of a terrible burden. “Tt’s truly a miracle,” my hus- band kept repeating. Then he paused, and added, “T’ll call Dr. M. in the morning and tell him about it.” ee Y HUSBAND made his tele- phone call later that same morning, and the first words the doctor spoke on hearing that the lump suddenly had disappeared were: “Fantastic! Impossible!” I could hear his unbelieving voice coming through the receiver loud and clear. “You mean to tell me,” he was 87 saying, “that the tumor has dis- appeared without medication or treatment of any kind? That’s im- possible! Not that type of tumor! I’ve seen and operated on hundreds —and the only way they disappear is through surgery.” I sensed a tone of finality in his voice, as though he contemptuously dismissed my husband’s assertions. “Doctor,” my husband kept say- ing, “it’s not there any more... I felt for myself...” “Look here,” the doctor cut in impatiently, “bone tumors simply do not dissolve or disappear over- night — and especially in two hours. If anything, the tumor has prob- ably reversed it’s path and is now growing inwardly. If this has hap- pened your wife will soon exper- ience a great deal of pain and I will have to operate immediately. Take her to my office next week and I'll examine her.” So saying, he terminated the telephone con- versation with my husband. The next few days seemed end- less. Again I was gripped with fear and anxiety. Was the doctor right? Was the tumor still there? What if a miracle hadn’t occurred after all? But, somehow, beneath these conscious fears I felt an underly- ing, exalted assurance that every- thing was fine. The words my mother spoke in my dream kept coming back to me. “Everything will be fine now,
Page 90
88 Evelyn.” They returned to me with more and more frequency, until they were embedded so firmly with- in my being that when the time ar- rived I went to see Dr. M. with- out fear, without the least doubt that a miracle had happened to me. Before he began his examination I told the doctor my dream and how on awakening I had discovered the lump on my jawbone was gone. He seemed skeptical. He ran his fingers over the spot where the lump had been, at first very lightly then, apparently feeling nothing, pressed harder. He probed further and FATE more thoroughly. Dr. M. gave me exactly the same examination he had given me previously. Then he evaluated all the data, exactly as he had done before, and his skep- ticism dissolved into a rather mysti- fied and somber manner. He shook his head very slowly and seemed to be in deep thought. “Ves,” he said finally, “the tumor -has disappeared, all right, but I can’t explain it.” He paused a mo- ment, as though in profound re- flection. “A dream, eh?” he said. “Well, I guess miracles do happen, after all.” a ee KILLED BY 650-MILLION-YEAR-OLD GERMS ACTERIA have been brought back to life after 650-mil- lion years in a Precambrian salt deposit in Siberia, . Dr. Heinz Dombrowski reported recently at an Academy of Sci- ences conference in New York City. The bacteria, which ap- pear to represent the oldest germs known to man, were said to be unlike any present-day species. Although other scientists at the conference urged caution in accepting the results before verification by other labora- tories, they agreed that Dr. Dombrowski’s techniques for preventing contamination prob- ably were effective. The bacteria, which had re- mained dehydrated and dena- tured sealed inside rock salt 3,400 feet beneath the surface, were said to be proliferating rapidly on agar plates. How-— ever, Dr. Dombrowski report- ed, the organisms apparently do not feed upon the same car- bohydrates as comparable bac- teria today. Dr. Dombrowski stated that he had injected the bacteria into mice and that the crea- tures died of a generalized in- fection within 12 hours. He has not yet tested the effective- ness of modern antibiotics against the bacteria, nor has he attempted to study them by contemporary immunological techniques. lat

THE DEAD RETURN By Louise Justice WICE I HAVE seen in broad daylight, the image of a loved one who has died. My dearest friend in high school died rather suddenly in Grand Rap- ids, Mich., in 1937, and in my ter- rible grief all I could think of was that Marjory Miller had failed to Say good-bye to me before she had taken her own life. When she could not get rid of her agonizing head pains and when she realized she was _ also losing her sight, she just turned on the gas. Marjory had a white sweater which she loved so much that she had often laughingly remarked that she wanted to be buried in it. It was angora, brushed thick and long, with long, wide sleeves and a rolled, stand-up collar. Her aunt had knit- ted it, and I have never seen an- other like it. About two weeks after _ her, walking down the sidewalk to- Marjory’s funeral I was walking | home from school on the street we had always walked down together to and from school. At a certain corner she would go one way and I another, and we always waved to each other until each ran inside her own house. This particular day I was think- ing of her, and my eyes were filling with tears, when suddenly I saw 89 ward her home! I stared in dumb- founded amazement. She was wear- ing a familiar red plaid skirt and the white angora sweater. She tossed her head, throwing back her dark, wavy hair with a heartbreakingly familiar gesture, then turned and, walking backward as of old, waved to me. She waved twice more as I stood petrified on the sidewalk, then turned in to her own front side- walk—and vanished! Somehow I knew that she had wanted to say farewell in such a way that I would know she still lived, somewhere in the great be- yond. That evening her mother walked down to our house bringing me the white angora sweater and the red plaid skirt, because she said, she had had a feeling that afternoon that Marjory wanted me to have them. In June, 1945, my 18-year-old favorite niece, Bobbie-Jeane Justice, was killed in Greeneville, Tenn., by a speeding car, just before her birth- day which was the same as mine. I was with her and held her hand as she lay dying. Shortly after the funeral, as I walked past my bed- room door, I happened to look in. There, sitting on the edge of my bed, sadly gazing out of the win-

Qualls HEN I WAS 18 years old we we moved 12 miles out into the country where I attended a country school. We drove to our : home town of Centralia, Wash., about twice a month to get books at the library. One April evening in 1930, a year after our move to the farm I checked out my books and went outside into the library park to walk about and wait for my mother. While walking there I met a boy with whom I had gone to school two years before. He was a handsome boy and had been a favorite with all the girls in our room. After talking with him awhile I saw my mother come out of the library and so told him I would have to go. Mama saw him with me. He asked if he could kiss me good- bye as he said he was going away and I wouldn’t be seeing him again- I agreed and was very thrilled by the whole episode. Mama was rather disapproving but sympathetic to a degree. A month or so later I met a girl from my former school and told her about this. She told me I must be mistaken as Louis Matteson had been killed in an automobile accident shortly after I moved away. I found upon checking that this was the truth. I have no explanation for this

MY FATHER’S GHOST By Susy Smith (44 OW DID my father get here?’ thought Chester Hayworth. He knew his father had been in California the day before. Had he flown to Dallas to bring some bad news? Why did he suddenly appear in his son’s bedroom in the middle of the night? Chester Hayworth had taught a class in astronomy at a Y.M.C.A. in downtown Dallas, Tex.; that night. His wife was asleep when he arrived home about midnight and he had climbed into bed quietly without disturbing her. “T had been in bed about 15 min- utes when suddenly I felt dizzy,” Hayworth reported later. “I was sure I hadn’t even so much as dozed, yet I felt as if I. suddenly had aroused from a ‘deep sleep.” He heard his doorknob rattle and sat up to see what was going on. His room was gently lighted by the street lamp on the corner which shone in his window. It provided just enough illumination to dis- tinguish the various objects in the room. “My eyes scarcely had adjusted _themselves to the outline of the

I could see him as plainly and in as much detail as I am seeing the lines on this paper as I write.” Hayworth’s father was a sales- man of automobile accessories who lived in California. His son won- dered if he had decided to play a prank on him, arriving in the middle of the night like this for a visit. But the elder Hayworth didn’t look like a man playing a prank. : “J watched him as he walked across the room, around the foot of the bed, up to and opposite me,” said Chester. “He stopped and stood two feet or less from where I was sitting. I was waiting for him to speak to me. By now I had a good look at his face, and I knew he was not here to carry out some joke on me. I had never seen my father looking so sad, downcast or forlorn. I knew at once that something was wrong. I thought perhaps some dreadful thing had happened to a member of the family, and he was here to prepare me for the worst... He stood there gazing into my eyes. Apparently from shock and surprise, I was speechless. Presently he ex- tended his hand,” his son wrote. “T took it in mine. He squeezed my hand and held it, much harder than his usual handshake.” Even though they didn’t speak, the father seemed to read the son’s thoughts as he wondered if some- thing tragic had happened to his mother or brother. “Still holding my hand in his, he moved his head from side to side in a negative

During this time it did not occur to him that he was seeing an apparition for his father seemed as real as flesh and blood to him—until he disap- peared. He remembered what his father was wearing, thinking his costume was out of character. Nor- mally his father would have worn business clothes, instead he was wearing tan work pants, a tan shirt and a cap—the kind of out- fit he wore only rarely, when work- ing on the car. He had on brown suspenders and in his shirt pocket his son noted three objects, a pen- cil, a fountain pen, and a caliper rule. “As I sat there utterly bewil- dered,” Hayworth wrote, “I heard the front doorbell ring. I jumped out of bed and ran hurriedly to answer. There stood a messenger boy who handed me a telegram from my brother. It said: ‘Dad died at 8:30. Can you come?’” When Hayworth’s wife awoke and was told the sad news she be- gan to cry, but her husband re- mained remarkably calm, “You’d better make plans to go,” she told him. “Don’t you realize your father is dead?” “How can he be,”’ Hayworth said, still bewildered. “He was standing right by that bed gripping my hand not five minutes ago?” When he reached California, Hayworth immediately asked to see the clothes his father had worn when he died. Although he consid-

His father had been working on his ear on the day of his death and had been wearing tan trousers, a tan shirt, a eap, and brown sus- penders. It was an outfit his son never had seen him in, but defin- itely was the same one he had seen him wear on his nocturnal visit. In the shirt pocket he found the pen- cil, the fountain pen, and the un- usual and far less common caliper rule.—New York, N. Y. DOGS ALSO SURVIVE By Gladys M.

She developed in- to the most intelligent pet we ever owned, understanding ordinary con- versation, and at times even appear- ing to read our thoughts. We called her Patches. Patches went everywhere with us, even on our long holiday motor tours. Some years we went to the western prairies and other years to the Atlantic coast. Patches died quite suddenly in 1959 at the age of six from an unsuspected kidney ailment. As we are a childless cou- ple, the passing of Patches was as severe a blow to us as the loss of a close relative. Patches died in June. At the end of August, we began preparing for our usual long holiday motor trip. During our preparation we both kept thinking how different it would be this year without a dog with us.

She had had a habit of standing with a front paw on each of the arches of my feet and I could actually feel her feet and weight. I told my husband, but he said I must have a great im- agination. As my husband never drives over three hours without stopping, after a while he pulled in to a roadside table on Route 104 near Rochester, N.Y., so we could enjoy a sand- wich and a cup of coffee. As I was getting out of the car, I noticed my feet. There on each arch and on the toes of my shoes were muddy dog tracks! The weather had been very dry and we had not been near any mud. My hose and shoes had been spotless when I put them on that morning. I called my husband’s attention to my feet. He said, “I guess Patches is still going on holidays with us.” The paw prints were as clear and distinct as those I had wiped up many times from our kitchen floor when Patches was still alive. They remained on my feet all day and every time we stopped my husband and I would look at them. When we pulled into a motel at Westport, N. Y., about 6:00 o’clock that night, the first thing I had in mind was to rinse out my hose and clean my shoes. When I took them off they were as clean and im- maculate as when I had put them on that morning. There was no sign of the paw prints that had showed -all day.

EXCURSIONS TO THE SPIRIT WORLD, by Frederick C: Sculthorp. (with an Appendix by Karl E. Muller). Almorris Press, Ltd., London, 1961. 158 pages, $3.00 This short volume is an account of alleged projections into the spirit world over a period of several dec- ades by an English spiritualist. Mr. Sculthorp became interested in spir- itualistic phenomena through the writings of Sir Oliver Lodge. After attending a number of de- velopment classes, he found himself leaving his body while in bed at night and entering the spirit world —an ability he later was able to practice sitting in a chair during the day, but which never came un- der his complete volition. Since, unlike various other cases of astral projection, the author rare- ly projected himself on the physical plane, there is no objective way his accounts can be evaluated, a point he himself concedes. The only possi- ble test of validity is their consis- tency with other alleged descriptions of the spirit world. It is therefore interesting to observe how similar in tone Sculthorp’s account is to such other reports as Dexter Buell’s Life Beyond the Sunset. 99 NEW BOOKS. The most interesting section of the book to this reviewer, however, is Dr. Muller’s highly interesting appendix, which sketches the history of investigation of astral projec- tion. Included are highly intriguing | accounts of several investigators whose work is almost unknown in this country, most especially Du Prel, Bozzano, de Rochas, and Dur- ville. One can only wish that modern translations of their books were available for study. The subject is one deserving of far more study than it is receiving. Let us hope that such reports as the present volume will stimulate interest in the problem.—David Techter. MENTAL RADIO, by Upton Sinclair. Charles C. Thomas, Publisher, Springfield, Illinois, 1962.

Olive St. Los Angeles 15, Calif. - FATE of telepathy—and shows why. It takes a certain amount of courage for a prominent person to make a stand in favor of any of the off- beat phenomena covered by psychi- cal research. Upton Sinclair’s first wife, Mary Craig Sinclair, demonstrated to his satisfaction her ability to read minds —his among others. Craig Sinclair had shown some evidence of psychic talents since her childhood. When she was a conscientious and morally exciting adult of 45, she devised a series of tests for herself, and her results were so exacting that her husband published the book Mental Radio in 1931* to tell the world what she, and he, through her, had discovered. The book is the detailed account of the various tests, analy- ses of their successes or failures, and Sinclair’s arguments as to why they Were convincing to him. Over a period of three years, at one time or another, several per- sons made rough drawings of simple objects and then Mrs. Sinclair, in another room, or even in some cases as far as 25 miles away, concen- trated on getting what she believed the objects to be, and very frequent- ly her pictures were surprisingly like the originals. The book is pro- fusely illustrated with these matched drawings. The preponderance of hits is far above chance expectancy. Dr. William McDougall, the found- er of the Parapsychology Labora- tory at Duke University, who pre- viously had been head of the De- partments of Psychology at Oxford University and at Harvard, wrote in an Introduction to Mental Radio: * Excerpts from this edition of Mental Radio appeared in the December, 1960, and January, 1961, issues of FATE.

FIRST SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF TELEPORTATION B, Nander Fader LECTRONIC DEVICES can send handwriting and photographs through space in seconds of time. Electronic scanning, however, does not move the original, it only copies it for a distant receiving station. To send an original object instan- taneously through space is beyond the capabilities of science. However, if human records, tradi- tion and beliefs can be believed at all, a non-mechanical method of space travel may already exist: teleportation. Teleportation is a fascinating word, a fit companion to telepathy and telekinesis. Teleportation is a form of transportation: a sudden disappear- ance from a point in space and re- emergence elsewhere in a dazed con- dition, perhaps hundreds of miles away, as if waking from a state of trance. It has been reported from the be- ginning of human history. In the Bible it is accomplished by the Spirit of the SSUCTTA LECT UTE EEUU UT TET MIND OVER SPACE $3.95 TO: OVER SPACE.

FATE “Mrs. Sinclair would seem: to be one of the rare persons who have telepathic power in a marked degree and perhaps other supernormal pow- ers. The experiments in telepathy, as reported in the pages of this book, were so remarkably suecessful as to rank among the best hitherto re- ported. The degree of success and the conditions of experiment were such that we can reject them as conclusive evidence of some mode of communication not at present expli- cable in accepted scientific terms only by assuming that Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair either are grossly stupid, incompetent and careless persons or have deliberately entered upon a conspiracy to deceive the public in a most: heartless and reprehensible fashion.” Sinclair himself in the text re- views his own record. Conditioned in his youth to be skeptical about all. strange phenomena, including those of the mind, he later in life began reading books on psychic re- search. “From first to last, I have read hundreds of volumes; always interested and always uncertain— an uncomfortable mental state. The evidence: in support of telepathy came to seem to me conclusive, yet it never quite became real to me. The consequences of belief would be tremendous, and changes it would make in my view of the universe so revolutionary, that I didn’t believe, even when I said I did.” But then for three years he watch- ed and assisted in the investigation his wife had undertaken in telepa- thy. And now he could say that he was no longer guessing. “Now I really know. I am going to tell you about it, and hope to convince you; but regardless of what anybody can

NEW BOOKS say, there- will never again be a doubt about it in my HEED T KNOW!” This volume contains as an Ad- dendum a critical analysis of the Sinclair experiments by the eminent psychical researcher Dr. .Walter Franklin Prince, written after read- ing the first edition of Mental Ra- dio. He became so interested that he asked for all the original mate- rials in order to make a fresh study according to the standards and meth- ods of a professional investigator. After his examination Dr. Prince was completely convinced that the results of Mrs. Sinclair’s tests were astronomically above chance. Perhaps the best argument the book offers, however, is the Pref- ace which was written on May 23, 1930, by Albert Einstein: “T have read the book of Upton Sinclair with great interest and am convinced that the same deserves the most earnest consideration, not only of the laity, but also of the psychologists by. profession. The re- sults of the telepathic experiments carefully and plainly set forth in this book stand surely far beyond those which a nature investigator holds to be thinkable . . . In no case should the psychologically interested circles pass over this book heed- lessly.”—Susy Smith. SOME HUMAN ODDITIES, by Eric John Ding- wall, MA., D.Sc., Ph. D.

In 1891 John Ballou Newbrough and, Andrew M. Howland issued a “‘Te- vised and corrected” edition of OAH- SPE. Because since 1885 the first edition could not be purchased any- where, the public has been unable to ascertain what these changes were. With this photocopied edition of OAHSPE the 1882 edition is ence more made available. With the ad- vent of the Space Age, OAHSPE ‘is being vindicated, and proven to be one of the world’s important books. UNEXPURGATED This edition of OAHSPE contains 928 pages. It also contains nearly three quarters of a million words. The Book of Cosmology might have been written by today’s space scien- | tists!. Much of the science in OAH- SPE has only recently been ‘‘dis- covered’’. Today space satellites are discovering ‘‘how it is’’ out in space, while in 1882 OAHSPE contained the same information!

The Mystic Arts Book Society invites you to accept this book $5.95 EVERYWHERE — YOURS FREE Cosmic CONSCIOUSNESS is rightly considered to be one of the great classics of mystical experience. It is not only a powerful and moving book, it is so daring that, although written almost sixty years ago, it is still ahead of its time. A book of this sort can only be produced under very special circumstances. Its author must be a brave and unconventional man who has not only the authority of scientific training and the prestige of an eminent position in that world, but also deep-seated emotional conviction based upon per- sonal experience. Richard Maurice Bucke was just that man. Born in Canada in 1837 he was orphaned in childhood and spent years working on railways and steamboats and as a miner and prospector. At 21 he returned to his birthplace and graduated from McGill Medical School with distinction, becoming a leading psychiatrist, President of the Psychological Section of the British Medical “Asociation, President pf the American Medico-Psychological Association, Superintendent of the Provincial Asylum for the Insane at Hamilton, Ontario, and Professor of Mental and Nervous Diseases at Western University. At 36 he had the sudden and illuminating metaphysical experience that lightened his life thereafter and led to the production of this remarkable book. This extraordinary event proved to be not an isolated occurrence, or a mental aberration, but the emergence of a new faculty which was neither supernatural nor supranormal, but the natural outgrowth of our present level of consciousness to a level that is as far above ours as ours is above the simple consciousness of animals. Dr. Bucke calls this faculty cosmic consciousness. He believes that the men who possess it, such as Buddha, Jesus, Paul, Dante, Spinoza, Blake, Balzac, Whitman, and a growing number of others in our time, re forerunners of the beings who will eventually people the earth.

The author, “one of the world’s greatest ... psychical researchers,” brings to bear his renowned analyti- cal skill, providing erudite Appen- dices with extensive references to English, French, Italian, German, and Latin sources. There are case-histories of St. Joseph of Copertino, “The Friar Who Flew,” whose “levitations” and “miracles” invite “comparison be- tween physical phenomena as re- ported among the saints” and among “spiritualistic mediums”; Alexis Berbiguier, ‘“Bottler of Spirits,” 15th-Century eccentric who spent a lifetime studying and fighting ‘‘de- mons, or farfadets, as he called them”; Angel Anna, “who claimed to have been educated among the Mahatmas” who, as Heirophant, of- ficiated at unspeakable rites pre- sided over by her fourth husband— until brought to justice, their trial containing “the largest number of puzzling features and curious prob- lems” of any criminal trial “of re- cent times... ” Then there is a study of the convulsionnaires of 18th-Century France, whose “miraculous cures’ and “divine” exhibitions, under self- inflicted torture, “frankly beggar description.” And there is the story of James Allen, “The Man Who Was Not,” and “his” successful hoax. The chapter on D. D. Home, most famous of spirit mediums, is a first- rate study of lasting value, despite its limited scope.

How- ever, none of his related English references convey anything like proof of fraud. Since the author believes “skepticism should not be reserved solely for favourable rec- ords,” it is astonishing that here he would conjure up these three cases if only as a sop to readers skeptical of Home’s mediumship! The second book—equally docu- mented and interesting—contains five “Portrait Studies”, There is a eritical analysis of the case of the great seer and scientist Swedenborg (a case which, from the standpoint of modern parapsychology, is sur- prisingly weak in support of ESP but “almost unique in the way in which he was able to develop his vast hallucinatory system into a fairly well co-ordinated whole’). Next, there is the history of a re- markable 16th-Century hoax in which, at the cost of four friars (roasted alive), a Dominican mon- astery became the stage on which an impersonation of the Holy Virgin, disclaiming her Immaculate Concep- tion, was exhibited alongside fraud- ulent levitations, stigmata, etc. This introduces the strange case of the “very remarkable bleeding pictures” of the Abbe Vachere (1863-1921) at Poitiers, which, defying examina- tion by an expert of the Society for Psychical Research, “remains a baf- fling riddle, eluding every attempt at reasonable explanation.” A chapter goes to Saint Mary Magdalene de Pazzi, ‘a classic ex- ample of the ascetic female flagel- lant and masochistic exhibitionist 107 MIND POWER THE INNER SECRET Realize your desires by the practical use of your mind.

FATE -..” Then follows an account of the “Lord of Zealand” (“one of the oddest classical scholars who ever lived”) whose pornographic extrav- agances aroused such angry reaction as to drive the unlucky scholar into “persecution phantasies.” The concluding chapter is perhaps the finest available concise critique on the career of Eusapia Palladino, “Queen of the Cabinet.” Top inves- tigators from three continents stud- ied her “physical phenomena’ for more than 20 years. Considered “the world’s greatest authority on physi- eal mediumship,” Dr. Dingwall does not hesitate to show how testimony supporting Palladino’s phenomena was suppressed by leaders of the S.P.R. after the latter decided to “drop” her. How often skepticism diverts our attention by evoking queer assump- tions, as when we find the author in one book referring to “those no- torious frauds the Davenport Broth- ers” (p. 179), and, in the other, concluding only that these mediums were “almost certainly fraudulent” (p. 112). Likewise, he refers to Apollonius of Tyana as “that early fraud” who “was puzzling people at the beginning of the Christian era” —but if Dr. Dingwall’s colleagues of the §.P.R., with all their modern means, could not solve at firsthand the mystery of Palladino’s wonders, it strains our credulity to think anyone can disprove the wonders of Apollonius—20 centuries later! Aside from occasional obeisance to incredulity and a tenacious non- committal approach which the read- er may or may not welcome, there is little to take exception to in these fine works.—Walter A. Carrithers, Jr.

RUSSIANS WERE NOT FIRST I want to comment briefly on the article Russians Photograph Life— and Death (FATE, September, 1962). In his book Physical and Super- normal Phenomena, published by The Marlowe Press of Chicago, Dr. Paul Joire gives the history of work done by various investigators of biological emanations, such as ef- fluyia from plant and animal or- ganisms. Some of these antedate the work of the Kirlians of Russia by 75 years. Among them are: The work of M. Albert Jounot on “Effluvia of the Gaze, Effluvia from the Hand Influenced By Thought, and Photographic Experi- ment on the Relation Between Hu- man and Terrestrial Polarity.” The work of Commandant Darget of Tours (a photographer in the French army) on “The projection of the brain of a calf, in section ap- pearance, which had been slaugh- tered, on a photographic plate which a butcher... had held on its head.” Also, the photography of the zones of contraction of the ‘“perispirit” of a plant (fern) which had been cut a half hour previously. The phe- nomena shown were threefold: (1) exact portrait of the plant, (2) effluvia thrown off from each leaf- let, (3) zones of contraction during the suffering. After it died Darget took the fern and placed it under a photographic plate, leaving it there SEE the HUMAN AURA! a vital step toward PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT _ Aura researchers have now developed a mechanical means of learning to see the human aura — permanent optically per- fect filters mounted in a pair of gog- gles adjustable to your head-size.

JIMMIE DEAN AND FRIEND Early in 1962 my husband and I purchased an Ouija board, and our results were quite good. On March 29, we made contact—and have remained in communication— with the “late” James Dean. Many things have happened since then. I have learned to make con- tact without outside help. Jimmie, as I call him, has told me he con- trols my body, feels what I feel, tastes what I taste. And the talents and knowledge he had are becoming mine. At first I thought my unconscious mind was creating a fantasy, but when I am in contact with him, I have performed extraordinary feats, including precognition and mind- reading. I regret that no one believes me—even though they can see these feats themselves. I would like to know if anyone else has made contact with Jimmie; I certainly would like to correspond with them.—Catherine Ickes, Platts- burg, N.Y. MORE MISSING CHILDREN I have some new information to add to the puzzling disappearances in the Los Angeles area as report- ed in The Forest of Missing Chil- dren by Stuart S. Allen (FATE, July, 1961). Since that time four more children have disappeared.

REPORT FROM THE READERS However, three of these - latest victims have been’ found—brutally molested and murdered. Dorothy Gale Brown, 11, was found floating in the sea. Donna Marie Frislie, 14, was found when a passing motorist noticed her little feet protruding from a shallow grave. Larry Rice was found under the Santa Monica Pier. However, his murderer—also the murderer of at least 11 others— was captured—and executed in 1959, The fourth of the new victims, Karen Tompkins, who disappeared less than 10 blocks from where Dorothy Brown disappeared, still has not been found. And the origin- al four victims also remain undis- covered. Why don’t the authorities use the abilities of the Dutchman, Peter Hurkos, whose psychic powers have been proved. They. would not lose face regardless of the results. They also could use the Hungarian who has solved many cases in Canada, —Charles Nickum, Los Angeles, Calif. JOURNEY TO WHERE After reading “Astral Journey,” page 105 of the July issue, I would like to say that quite possibly the factory building which was seen could have been that of Internation- al’ Harvester in Indianapolis, Ind. However, the sign which is large, with large letters, is green and white rather than blue and white. Per- haps someone else can fill in the journey from there.—Margaret Gon~ zales, Monroe, Mich.

MATERIALIZED MOTHER J had an interesting experience at a materializing seance, which my daughter and I attended with 14 members of a parapsychology group, including the voice medium Mark Probert. The seance started and the de parted began to talk to relatives and friends. When it was my daugh- ter’s turn to come forward, she said she could not think of anyone to talk to. A voice then told her to have “the man who came with you” come forward. I am 84 and had not anticipated taking part. When I arrived at my daughter’s side I heard my mother’s voice say- ing, “I told you I would be here.” And as she spoke she began to mate- rialize. She looked as she had when I was a boy. I cried, but like the frontier woman she was, she told me not to weep. Then she asked me to give her my hand. I did. Her hand was quite firm as it grasped mine. After some talk about my boyhood days, she asked to kiss me. I leaned forward and she kissed me with lips that 113 Like To Draw?

HEALING FOR REINCARNATION Healing, spiritual or otherwise (if there is any otherwise), is one of the phases of operation of evolution, ‘which is the method of making changes in the structure of man’s closest environment, his body, to meet changing conditions in order to stay alive and comfortable. What we call disease is the difference in potential (or strength) in the body before and after the change. If we are strong enough to do

ZIME cevansunc, wis. FATE what we are trying to do, there is no strain. If not, there is a strain; something gives, and we have “dis- ease.” The germs or viruses are there because of the condition. This is the environment they need to grow in. Change the condition or environment, and they disappear. Change our environment, and we disappear. What is it that wants us to do something, the doing of which causes a strain? God—in the process of de- veloping a body to manifest through! He is manifesting all through the body, making changes to meet vari- ous conditions outside the body. What we call the subconscious mind is the sum total of all these changes, tied together with the Pow- er that made the changes. When you, the objective, spiritual mind, make a change, it becomes part of the body, the subconscious mind: And the part of you that made the change is tied in with the rest of what you have done; otherwise there would be no memory. Healing is the result of these changes, the building up of the strength to do. Disease is the result of lack of change. The Bible says, “God made man out of the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul.” God primed man “as one primes a pump. However, not know- ing as yet what keeps him alive, man gradually slows down on his breathing and finally dies when the priming runs out. When in the course of evolution he comes back, God primes him again to teach him how to live, knowing that eventually man will get the idea and start breathing deliberately and learn how to keep primed.
Page 119
REPORT FROM THE READERS The continual priming of man js reincarnation, the coming back into new bodies to learn more how to stay alive. This priming energy is obtained through our breathing. The Rosicru- cians call it Vital Life Force; the Hindus call it Prana; Mesmer called it Animal Magnetism; and Wilhelm Reich called it Orgone. The name makes no difference. Healing is the channeling of this energy to the part of the body that is weak to give it the strength to do what we want it to do.—Arthur Whitcomb, Portland, Ore. TIME-SPACE HYPOTHESIS Jack Ashby’s lead letter ‘Time Traveling UFO’s?” in the August issue presented well a -basic concept of “time travel” as related to the UFO mystery. Years ago Charles Fort remarked that the failure of what Ashby terms UF Ons to contact terrestrials openly is “the greatest of all mysteries.” It seems that phys- ical and technical possibilities should be exhausted before the metaphys- ical approach is made toward this problem. The last 100 years indeed have demonstrated that nothing is im- possible. The difficulty about travel through time—from the future to the past—is that it cannot be thought of at all without encounter- ing infinite paradox. The past might be observed by a reflection from the depths of space or in some micro- atomic recording, but not likely visited. Travel from our past into the fu- ture is another matter. We are all doing it, and space voyagers may of necessity be moving far more leis- urely through time than are planet dwellers. There is a great deal being 1i7 TT IMVSTER WHY DOES Tr Nae An amazing secret was revealed by Wm.

HOPPER P.B. 2027, SOCCO, TANGER MOROCCO, NORTH AFRICA FATE said about the theory of time dila- tion, derived from the special theo- ry.of relativity. If there is a way nearly to equal the speed of light, then time virtually would be “fro- zen” at such a velocity in relation to the general universe. However, it is not necessary to invoke Hinstein in order to cross the abyss of space and time. All that is needed is a tech- nology sufficiently advanced to sus- pend all animation for an indefinite duration. No matter what the UFOns may be or from where they originated, if they have gone far in space, then they must have come a long way in time. A planet dweller’s lifetime might be but a fleeting moment for such space voyagers, except on rare occasions when they visited us in person. It is not likely that they would remain long.

He wrote the date of his de- parture but did not mention any stop-offs or tell when he expected to arrive. More than a week passed, but my Uncle did not arrive. We were quite worried. Then on the ninth morning as I was washing the dishes, this mes- sage came to me: “Katydid (Uncle’s pet name for me), I will be with you before noon.” I left the dishes and told my mother what had happened. She was provoked with me, but only a little because she knew I had had similar experiences. And sure enough, at 119 INSTANT MEDIUMSHIP Use your amazing psychic powers NOW! Why ‘‘develop” for years?

I disagree for I never have received a message that did not materialize. — Kate B. McNulty, Pasadena, Calif. DEBUNKER DEBUNKED In Report From the Readers (Au- gust 1962) K. H. Isselstein attacks Dr. Richter, our foremost earth- quake expert. Mr. Isselstein should see the movements of the earth in quake zones along the faults. The San Andreas fault has movements of over 380 miles, a distance which is hard to overlook. Or he should take a good look at the faults after a quake. His theory about big balls of molten magma rolling around inside this globe is silly nonsense, even if many so-called authorities are of the same opinion. Primary water rises up from the mantle. This wa- ter which has been coming for mil- lenia—often in great quantities— always has the same temperature, 78 degrees F. (25 degrees C.), all over the world, except, of course, in vol- canie regions. There is good proof that the in- side of the globe has this ecomfort- able temperature. It is now being recognized that the oceans were filled by water from inside the globe and that this same water is still re- placing that lost out of the atmos- phere and tied up in rocks and chemical reactions. About 220,000 years ago a tre- mendous collision occurred between Earth and remnants of a lost planet.

REPORT FROM THE READERS It changed the tilt of the Earth’s axis rather suddenly and much land slid around on the MOHO Discon- tinuity. Columbus had an old map showing the Atlantic before the Ice Ages. A similar map shows the Pa- cific and the Americas. On it, “California” was a large island which was pushed, in that catas- trophe, against the continent and welded onto it. The hinge of Baja California was twisted quite a bit and the Sierra Nevada and other mountain ranges probably were pushed up in one shove and the land far inland was pushed together and corrugated.—F rederick G. Hehr, Los Angeles, Calif. PROVING SURVIVAL To establish once and for all the truth of survival, I suggest inducing astral projection in a person born blind! If he or she is able, later, to describe things seen while projected, this scientifically would prove the existence of another body independ- ent of the physical body. No better demonstration of this could be given. The projection perhaps could be induced through hypnosis.—Arthur Morris, Bronx, N. Y. FUN WITH FATE Fate has given me a tremendous amount of fun. “Fun” is not all- inclusive, because there is much depth to it. On the other hand, among all the ghastly news in the world, to gain imaginative stimula- tion and often an uplifted feeling is the best form of “fun.” Your column—“I See By the Papers”—is really thrilling, because it brings to one’s attention the good news, the findings of science that (Continued on page 129) I21I FLYING SAUCERS America’s only Fact Magazine with complete coverage of the famous UFO. Flying saucers are a fact. A national poll has proved that one American in every four is aware of the truth of that statement. In spite of this, FLYING SAUCERS Magazine is the only publica- tion devoted to presenting all the facts and all the latest news concerning uni- dentified flying objects. It is the only magazine wherein the public can pierce the fog in which official sources have shrouded a matter of vital and general public concern. Here is a magazine you can depend on to keep you up to the minute on every development. More than 5000 sightings have been reported to the editors, and new sightings come in daily. Hundreds of these are from repu- table people, airline pilots, scientific experts, even clergymen. FLYING SAUC- ERS has a staff of experts who evaluate every sighting, subject every photo to exhaustive tests, analyze every theory presented, and who meticulously report the truth as they see it. Today Man is aiming his sights at the stars. He in- tends to fly to other planets, But are the inhabitants of other worlds already visiting us? If may be so, but even if not, this magazine is writing the daily history of the new space age!

REPORT FROM THE READERS tie in with spiritual beliefs, the pick- ing up of bits of knowledge which never would be noticed except by your perceptive eye. And you write in a “fun” sense of humor way. I guess that sets the tenor of FATH, And thank Heavens it does—in order to counteract the many corny, vulgar ads that you have to carry for financial reasons. ’m sure intel- ligent readers know this. It’s too bad you can’t come right out and say that FaTE is not responsible for its advertisers’ claims. I feel Congress ought to be made to read the UFO articles, but I’m afraid that the context of Fata (i.e., the ads) would make them even more skeptical.—Mrs. Arthur Lord, Washington, D.

There are many theories: There are those who support Shaver in his materialistic honeycomb of cay- etns the world over, heritage of a Titan-Atlan race which fled a poisoned world over 12,000 years ago, There: are those who call his cay- erns the “‘astral’’, his dero the spirits of the dead.
