She had to come back and tell the world THE UNOBSTRUCTED UNIVERSE by Stewart Edward White (and his Sensitive Collaborator) Betty White’s mission and purpose was to tell the world about the new order of things. Gone beyond the comprehension of present earth perception (her death occurred in April, 1939) , she is still speaking to us now. Although written by her husband, this is really Betty White’s book. Through it she has delivered her message—telling of a new kind of life, a new attitude and assurance. Based on faith and a re- turn to inner values, she shows how Immortality is within reach of everyone here and now — not in some vague and distant future. She dispels the idea of two states of existence—one ‘“‘on earth” and one “in heaven” (the ‘‘obstructed”’ and “unobstructed” universes) sepa- rated from each other as by a wall, and describes the one, continuous, eternal Whole she knows to exist. A blueprint for the redesigning of life, THE UNOBSTRUCTED UNIVERSE can help you find new truth, new faith, and new under- standing of your true destiny. $4.50 THE SCIENCE OF HYPNOTISM by Alexander Cannon, author of The Power Within and Powers That Be A famous prober into the Psychic, the Mystic, and the Telepathic, Alexander Cannon is also a prac- ticing therapeutist and successful hypnotist.

In its 7th printing, THE SCIENCE OF HYPNOTISM has fascinated thousands of readers. Now you too can share the secrets of the Science that holds the key to man’s mind. $2 E. P.

9 See by the apers sae QUOTE OF THE MONTH One view of scientific research is that it is like a detective story. Both the scientists and the detective start with a puzzle, discover clues, link them together, and then offer a solu- tion. This view may be a stereo- type but it also happens to be ac- curate. From lead editorial in Science, Feb. 23, 1962 CO HOW ACCURATE? ope ABOVE editorial was sign- ed by the initials “J. T.” and we disagree with it. J. T. has de- scribed the ideal of how many per- sons believe scientific research ought to work out. Probably most scien- tists also believe that’s the way things are. Men who have made great sci- entific discoveries, however, say this is plain not true. They start with a puzzle, all right, although they may not be de- fining the puzzle, i.e., the correct questions, properly. Then they dis- cover clues, this is true, too. But the clues they discover may be ran- dom or may have little to do with the problem at hand. But, of course, the fallacy is the By Curtis Fuiler idea that the conclusion grows im- plicity out of the clues uncovered. It doesn’t. If it did, scientific re- search would be easier than it is, but the testimony of many men tells us a different story. Dr. W. I. B. Beveridge, profes- sor of pathology at Cambridge, has investigated the circumstances under which great discoveries are made and concludes: “Tt is a common error among philosophers and writers of books on the scientific method to believe that discoveries are made by the systematic accumulation of data until the generalization is a matter of plain logic, whereas in fact this is true in a minority of cases?”

In fact, great discoveries are made by a combination of luck, chance, intuition, observation and imagina- tion. The clues may be necessary, but so often it is as if the uncon- scious mind and not the conscious mind worked them over and came up from nowhere with the unex- pected and non-logical answer. oO MORE ON THE GOLDEN FIREFLIES INCE LAST month’s articles on Col. John Glenn’s observations of the golden fireflies during the three sunrises of his space flight, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has proposed that the luminous particles must have come from Colonel Glenn’s space capsule itself. They definitely did not originate from the launch vehicle, which was over 100 kilometers (a kilometer is 3.280.8 feet) away when Colonel Glenn first saw them. NASA proposes that they were either (1) particles of paint that flaked off the outside of the space- craft, or (2) frozen particles of water (snowflakes) from the cool- ing system. Such water after being used to cool the spacecraft is re- leased into space. However, only some of the luminous particles could have come from this source because of the small amount of water ac- tually released. Of these two possibilities, NASA FATE feels the paint is the more probable explanation. We find this debatable. First, a maximum of about three pounds of paint probably could have been liberated during the entire flight, and to contend that this quantity of flakes would create the effect that Glenn saw implies the further assumption that the paint came off the spacecraft only at sunrise. The NASA report says: “Tf we suppose that particles of this type are liberated primarily at sunrise, possibly because of some cracking or stretching of the space- craft skin occurring at this time, it is not necessary to imagine much more than 1% kilograms of ma- terial was liberated during the whole flight, especially if we sup- pose that the density was somewhat less in the outer portions of the cloud. This figure is perhaps not inconsistent with the amount of ma- terial which could have flaked off.” The other point that seems to dis- pute this suggestion is made by Colonel Glenn, whose complete re- port we now have at hand. Colonel Glenn writes about the particles: “T appeared to be moving through them very slowly, at a speed of maybe three to five miles an hour. They did not center on the capsule as though the capsule was their origin... “As I looked out to the side of the capsule, the density of the field
Page 9
I SEE BY THE PAPERS to the side of the capsule appeared to be about the same as directly behind the capsule. “The distance between these par- ticles would average, I would est- imate, some eight or 10 feet apart. Occasionally, one or two of them would come swirling up around the capsule and across the window, drifting very, very slowly, and then would gradually move off back in the direction I was looking. This was surprising, too, because it showed we probably did have a small flow field set up around the capsule . . . I do not recall observ- ing any vertical or lateral motion other than that of the particles that swirled around close to the space- craft. “JT observed these luminous ob- jects for approximately four min- utes before the sun came up to a position where it. was sufficiently above the horizon that all the back- ground area was lighted and I no longer could see them.” It was probably for this same reason of visibility that when Col- onel Glenn faced forward he could see only about 10 per cent as many particles as when facing back to- ward the west. “Still, I could see a few of them coming toward me. This proved rather conclusively, to me at least, that I was moving through a field of something and that these things were not emanating, at least not at The Insight Anstitute Recognized authorities teach THE OCCULT SCIENCES in the comfort of your home Each course from the Insight Institute is sent to you complete including a full set of lessons, charts, examples, numerous self-tests and full model answers.

Io that moment, from the capsule... I think the density of the particles was the same on all three passes.” oO ALIVE? AS TIMES, the particles acted almost as if they were alive. Colonel Glenn concluded, however, that they behaved as they did be- cause of electrical properties. He has written a detailed description of what he saw: “T would estimate that there were thousands of them. It was similar to looking out across a field on a very dark night and seeing thou- sands of fireflies. Unlike fireflies, however, they had a steady glow. Once in awhile, one or two of them would come drifting up around the corner of the capsule and change course right in front of me. “T think it was from flow of some kind or perhaps the particles were ionized and were being attracted and repelled. It was not due to col- lisions because I saw some of them change course right in front of me without colliding with any other particles or the spacecraft. “Tf any particles got in near enough to the capsule and got into the shade, they seemed to lose their luminous quality. And when oc- casionally I would see one up very close, it looked white, like a little cottony piece of something, or like a snowflake.” FATE THE CALL LEMENT KELLY, Jr., was a little eight-year-old Papago In- dian boy, living with his mother on South First Street in Buckeye, Ariz. Clement’s father died last year. Last April 1 Clement rose with no sign of illness but after a while he interrupted his play in the yard and came into the house. He told his mother, Mrs. Mary Agnes Kelly, that he had just talk- ed with his father and his father wanted him to accompany him. Clement had declined. By afternoon, .though, Clement wasn’t very hungry. He seemed sleepy and tired after his outdoor exercise. He lay down to rest. That night Clement died. The doctor said’ it was acute gas- troenteritis — an inflamation of the lining of stomach and intestines. Was it, really? CO THE DISAPPEARING BOY A HERE is another mysteri- ous story of a small boy from Fort Wayne, Ind. Last January 28, shortly after 4:00 P.M., Officers Robert Paulsen and Guy Fortier were summoned to Broadway and Taylor Streets. James W. Schinbeckler, 44, a motor- ist, told the policemen he had been southbound on Broadway, making a turn into Taylor, when a small boy ran into the path of his car.

OINCIDENCE alone cannot ex- plain the identical things that happen to brothers and sisters — and especially to identical twins. Identical things have happened more than once to the two sisters shown above. In 1960, Mrs. Linda Ballinger (left) 24, and Mrs. Diane Barrett 29, gave birth to babies at the identical moment. Nineteen months later, in April of 1962, the sisters did it again. Baby Dale Warren Ballinger and Baby Linda Marie Barrett were born to the sis- ters at the identical time at St. Vin- cent’s Hospital, Los Angeles. A more eerie set of circumstances surrounded the lives and deaths of Bobbie Jean Eller and Betty Jo EI- ler, identical twins of Purlear, N.C. They were triplets, but their baby brother lived only an hour. The girls went to school together, played piano and accordion to- gether, later worked at the R. J. Reynolds plant together. When one was ill, so was the other. Last year both were admitted to Broughton State Mental Hospital in Morgantown. They came home but were readmitted to the hospital in April. At 12:55 A.M. April 12, an attendant found Bobbie Jean dead in her bed. She went to the sister’s ward. Betty Jo too was dead. No cause is known. Some people weren’t surprised. Just before the twins returned to the hospital they had been setting an extra place at the family table.

Mr. and Mrs. John Barnes of Caledonia refuse to destroy the doll for fear it will bring vengeance on their family, already twice hit by tragedy. It began when the Barnes’ 17- year-old daughter, Hester, was kill- ed in a highway accident. To help console Hester’s eight-year-old sis- ter Johanna, the parents bought the big, four-foot doll. Johanna took it to Hester’s grave and begged that it be, left there because she knew Hester was very lonely. The child’s mother refused and two week’s later Johanna herself died of pneumonia. Since then, the doll has been heard to breathe and seen to move. Mrs. Barnes had an uncanny feel- ing the doll was watching her and turned to see it in a chair, “moving as though struggling to get into a sitting position.” Mr. and Mrs. A. Trent, friends who live in Pretoria, both say they have seen the shimmering figure of a little girl stroking the doll’s hair. io a) SCOTLAND YARD TO THE RESCUE HE GRAHAM STRINGERS live in a two-story home in the Peckham District of London. Each year since 1958, just before Easter, a ghostly pyromaniac goes to work and sets things afire in the Stringer home.
Page 15
I SEE BY THE PAPERS The unexplained events began about a month before Easter in 1958 when Mr. Stringer went down- stairs to check the time and found a chair and the baby’s toys on-fire. On Good Friday he left the room for a few seconds, smelled smoke and rushed back to find a hole burned, as though with a blow torch, through the center of a pile of baby clothes.. A pair of nylon stockings at the bottom of the pile was untouched. In 1959 a pair of shoes was jerk- ed out of Stringer’s hands, and he called in experts from the College of Psychic Science without results. In 1960 a pile of clothes burned up within 30 seconds. That year Stringer was working in his dark- room when suddenly the room lit up and there was a greyish vibrat- ing fluorescent column at his side. This column is frequently seen, and since the Stringers feel that every spook should have a name, they call it “Larry” though without much affection. “T haven’t dared to use the dark- room since,” Stringer says. “But it’s a funny thing that the light did not fog my photographic plates.” Larry didn’t show up in 1961, perhaps because a Roman Catholic priest read a rite of exorcism in the house. ae : But he was back this year. Mrs. Stringer reported that furniture in her living room erupted spontane- 15 PUTT Search MAGAZINE In this great free America we have an advantage over half the world, in that we can do our own thinking and our own talking. We can exchange ideas, we can challenge old ones, we can devise new ones without fear of being clapped in a dun- geon or ostracized as a heretic. Here knowledge and research is the recognized realm of activity of every person. That is why we have published the magazine called SEARCH, which we first introduced in November, 1953. The articles in SEARCH are thought-provoking, challenging, ypified by an upward-looktng pirit of inquiry, ranging from the lowliest investigator, the child who asks “Mommy, where did | come from?”, to Dr. Rhine of Duke University, who is engaged in a scientific search for the soul! SEARCH asks many such ques- tions, and as the answers are forthcoming, brings them to its readers honestly, competently and accurately.

But the only one Stringer can think of is Larry. As for the Yard, they are impres- sed by one thing. Their investiga- tion has revealed the Stringers don’t have any fire insurance. CO WEIRD BLAZE N ALBUQUERQUE, M. A. Sala- zar and his family returned to their home at 1439 Saunders, SW, to find it ruined by a fire that County Fire Chief A. P. Darden said was like none other he had ever seen. The week before also the house had caught fire while the family was away. This fire was traced to an electrical short and damaged two rooms. But the March 4 fire gave off a strange odor. Firemen man- ning the hoses had to be rotated be- cause of the intense heat and fits of coughing. The seven-room frame-stucco house “seemed to have caught fire everywhere at once,” Chief Darden said. Fire was shooting out all the doors and windows at the same time and evenly. Glass and stovepipes melted. The underside of shelves, cabinets, high places, low places — FATE all burned as, one. “That’s very unusual,” Chief Darden said. Co. PIECES OF FOG H2> A really frustrating story and at press time we haven’t been able to run down any more facts than these from the brief AP dispatch: In Thailand, a postman named Urb Suksangiem told police that a strange red and green “fog” settled over his house in a town 225 miles north of Bangkok. The fog then crumbled into bits the size of peas. Pieces were reported to have been sent to a police laboratory for “analysis”, which probably ends that. We doubt that Thailand pol- ice laboratories are better equipped than police laboratories in this country and certainly they aren’t equipped to analyze pieces of red and green fog. (In Miami, by the way, little blotches of oil were falling from the sky, spotting everyone’s houses and laundry.) oo) THE RAJAH’S MOTHER FReeEsS HORNSBY recently told this story to Robert M. Lipsyte, writing in the Vew Vork Times Magazine of April 29. - Hornsby’s major league batting record of .424 set in 1924 has never been equalled and probably never will be,

Two inches of rain fell that night and the next morning the fish’ were found swim- ming around on the roof. Some of them were three’ inches long. Bill Turcotee of the State Game and Fish Commission noticed that a drainpipe runs from the roof to a sewer.

CO OLD TOM’S JOURNEY xe APRIL 14, 1961, Mr. and Mrs. Coleman Feldman and their one-year-old daughter, Pat- ricia, moved from their ranch home in Yucaipa, Calif., to their new res- idence at 1234 S. Citrus Avenue, Los Angeles, about 100 miles away. They left behind their black male cat, Old Tom, to be cared for by the new owners of the ranch, the George Ambach family. They under- stood that cats didn’t like to move from their homes. During the sum- mer Mr. Ambach wrote that Old Tom had disappeared. On April 14, 1962, precisely a year after the Feldmans had moved, they discovered a black cat pacing the roof of the house next door. “Tt looked like Old Tom,” Feld- man said, “and when I talked to him he crooned back. At the ranch I used to talk to the cat and he’d meow in turn.” The cat climbed down from the roof and came to the Feldmans with affection. “We examined him care-

I SEE BY THE PAPERS fully,” Mrs. Feldman said. “The coloring was the same, the scars — the ear nicked in a fight with an- other tom, the jagged wound on the foot.” : It was Old Tom, all right. He had found his family, apparently unaided, though he never had seen Los Angeles before, nor his family’s new home. oO BARNEY’S MAGIC AST FEBRUARY Mrs. Earl Moore found a three-year-old collie that came to her home near Bedford, Ind. She fed the dog and cared for it. One thing puzzled her about the dog. Every day it went to a ditch alongside nearby U.S. Route 50. Then one day Mrs. Moore saw the dog drag a blanket to the same spot in the ditch. Another time a stray cat was killed by a car on the highway. The dog promptly picked up the dead cat and carried it to the same spot in the ditch. Late in March, Mrs. Moore found the key to this puzzle in a newspaper. The story told how a Phoenix, Ariz., family, en route to their new home in Darlington, Pa., had been involved in an accident on U.S. Route 50 south of Bedford. Their car was knocked into the ditch and caught fire.

BOX 671, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS FATE were taken to Dunn Memorial Hospital at Bedford for treatment. They were not seriously injured. The news story, which Mrs. Moore read, was an appeal for in- formation about their two pets — Barney, a 3-year-old collie, and a cat named Fuzzy. Both had dis- appeared at the time of the ac- cident. All the pieces fell into place. The dog was Barney. The spot in the ditch where he carried on his daily vigil was the scene of the accident; the blanket he had dragged up had come from the wrecked car; the dead cat was Fuzzy. And in a sense the dog magic of bringing Fuzzy, blanket and scene of the crash together really had material- ized his family for Barney. He was packed into a crate and sent off by railway express to his real owners in Darlington, Pa. oo) ME AND SPOT Ov DAY in January, 214-year- old Thomas Elwood Mathes, son of an Army sergeant, was play- ing in his back yard in Virginia Beach, Va., with his dog Spot. Somehow Thomas got out of the fenced yard—perhaps through a hole that Spot had dug, and set out. Later in the day, Thomas was discovered seriously injured in the farmyard of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Whitehead. Mrs. Whitehead said
Page 23
I SEE BY ER PAPERS she heard Sees barking in her dog pen and she ,thought they were fighting. She went outside and found two shaggy dogs, “big like German shepherds” in her yard. They disappeared into the woods, and then she discovered Thomas, bleeding and torn. Spot was with him, unhurt. Dr. R. L. Brisbin, a Portsmouth Naval Hospital surgeon, declared: “The lacerations apparently result- ed from the teeth, talons or claws of an animal or bird.” Further investigation turned up many puzzles. Investigators believe Tommy was injured some distance from where he was found. Although Mrs. Whitehead said she had glimpsed two large dogs, no dog tracks were found except Spots. The doctors later reported the wounds were unlike a dog would inflict. When questioned later, Tommy was asked if a dog had bitten him. He said no. But when asked how he got hurt, he just hid his head — It began to look as if what had attacked Tommy came,from above. Could it have been an eagle or an owl? Authorities couldn’t say, but it seemed incredible to them that if ground animals had attacked the lad Spot wasn’t also attacked. But all Tommy could say was, “Well, me and Spot, went for a walk.” And that was as far as he could get. He will be in the Naval hospital for months. 23 UNIQUE BOOKS NUDIST — Life in the Sun, By Alan Blair.

Large mass of rotting flesh is one of several which remain of huge unknown creature 20 months after its discoy- ery. Photos and draw- ings from The Mercury Newspaper, Tasmania, Mooasrer ON THE Beacn What was the strange corpse found in Tasmania— and why is the investigation of it shrouded in mystery? OUT THE MIDDLE of July, 1960, the worst storm ever A® recorded off the coast of Tasmania occurred. Tasmania is an island state of the Commonwealth of Aus- tralia and, as you may see from the map, depends far south into the “Roaring Forties”, famous for their terrific storms. During these storms lots of heavy, even waterlogged 24 By gain =f SAdewon junk gets cast ashore while at the same time beaches are simultane- ously swept clean of old debris which is piled far above the normal high tide mark. : During the month of August, fol- lowing this bad storm, a Mr. Ben Fenton, land owner in a place called Temma on the west coast of Tasmania, accompanied by two
Page 25
“drovers”, Jack Boote and Ray An- thony, was rounding up cattle near the beach twa miles north of the River Interview. Here on the beach they saw and examined a large, more or less circular “something” that they later described as covered with short soft fur, like that of a certain breed of sheep well known locally. They reported their find only casually. The two drovers feared ridicule but Mr, Fenton re- visited the beach from time to time and noted that the corpse was slow- ly moved up the coast, sometimes being partially or completely buried under the sand and at others ap- pearing almost in toto. It finally reached a point 14 miles south of Sandy Cape. Vague reports of this thing filter- ed into Hobart, the capital of Tas- mania, and eventually came to the attention of Mr. G. C. Cramp, a keen local naturalist and business- man. The increasingly confirma- tory nature of the reports prompted him to put the matter before a num- ber of museum officials in February of this year, 1962, and it was then agreed that somebody ought to go look at the thing. Mr. Cramp organized and financed a search for it by plane early in March. This was successful and a land party, led by Mr. B. C. Mol- lison, described as a member of the staff of the Commonwealth Scien- tific and Industrial Research Organ-° ization (CSIRO) at Hobart and al- — ternately as “a zoological student” or “not a science graduate but ex- perienced in some forms of zo- ology”, set out on March 8. Other members of the party were Max Bennett, also of the CSIRO, L. E. Wall, and J. A. Lewis, vice pres- ident and treasurer respectively of the Tasmanian Field Naturalists Club. This party met rough going. Drawings show probable outline of Tas- manian beach monster as viewed from above, from the front and from the side. 25°

26 FATE Reconstruction of beach monster, credited to a museum expert, depicts ray-like animal. The rivers were in spate and, due to the wildness of the terrain, many miles had to be slogged through loose sand along the beach. But they found the “monster”. The subsequent order of events is not now clear but press reports state that Mr. Mollison returned from “his second trip to inspect the monster” on March 11. This is of little significance but the incred- ible series of subsidiary events to which his return gave rise is inter- esting. First is the description of the monster that he apparently gave to the museum in Hobart, for the ex- traordinary “reconstruction” of the beast published in the local press was accompanied by the categoric - statement that these “Impression(s) of the ‘sea’ monster’ (were) drawn by a museum expert.” Here the first suspicious aspect of the whole - business arises, although certain curious features may be due to sloppy and incompetent reporting. Some very important points, how- ever, are not clear. Did Mr. Mollison really give the description attributed to him? If so, was it of the thing as he and his three colleagues actually saw it or was it given to him second-hand by Messrs. Fenton, Boote, and An- thony? Whatever the source, the information. seems pretty detailed for a museum expert to come up with such a depiction. Mollison, on the other hand; is only quoted as making very mild statements of a purely conjectural nature such as “One tends always to reject the fact that an animal is unknown. One is always seeking some explana- tion, and you try to add up every- thing, but this one does not add up yet.” Or again, “There (are) only
Page 27
MONSTER ON THE BEACH Portion of monster flesh on plate is discussed by in- vestigators. They are (left to right) G. C. Cramp, who financed first expedition to locate monster; Tony Kings- ton, cameraman for a Ho- bart television station; B. C. Mollison, of the Tas- manian Museum; and Max Bennett of the CSIRO. two possibilities — that the animal is unknown, or that it (is) the rem- nant of a known animal.” He also said that, at the site, Mr. Boote had marked out “what he consider- ed the original outline and the party dug down on these marks and found decayed flesh.” This would seem to indicate that the description origin- ated with Jack Boote. Mollison actually ended up saying that it was “not a giant ray but probably of a ray-like animal.” The reason for this surprising statement will come in a minute. These initial statements really ‘kicked the story off and initiated the normal “Stage II” in monster hunting. This is the period of spec- ulation, usually unwarranted and wholly unscientific and made by all manner of “experts”, which invari- ably runs a set gamut. In this case, the experts lived up to the fullest

28 expectations for beached sea-mon- sters, ranging from whales and sharks, to giant squids and sunfish, adding this time for good measure Giant Rays. The entire civilized world now was subjected to a most extraordi- nary spectacle, lasting 10 days. I would say the story hit more news- papers than any other to date this year. It was front page in most English-speaking countries, some- times for days on end. It is now dead, having been buried officially. And I mean of- ficially | As a news story it broke on March 8, 1962. It was buried on March 19 with a succinct and sus- picious epitaph read by Senator Gorton, Minister of the Common- wealth of Australia, responsible for the activities of the CSIRO of that country. It read: “In layman’s language, and allowing for scientific caution, this (report) means that your mon- ster is a large lump of decomposing blubber, probably torn off a whale.” This, one might suppose, dis- poses of everything connected with the affair. It does not. Mollison had said that it was not a whale. He also stated he had brought back samples of the flesh to prove it. Yet, on March 12 “sci- entists” still were saying for pub- lication that “so far no zoologist has looked at it” and no samples FATE had been brought back. I need not comment on these ditties in view of the fact that just such samples were being analyzed in Sydney and were fully reported upon by CSIRO technicians. So, it transpires that on March 16 after questions had been asked in the Australian Parliament and a considerable amount of maneuver- ing had gone on between CSIRO and other official bodies such as the Navy and museum people, a sci- entific team left Hobart by air for the Northwest. There they rented heliocopters and flew into the site. This group is variously reported as having been headed by Mr. A. M. Olsen, marine biologist and senior research officer of the fisheries divi- sion of the CSIRO in Hobart, and by Mr. J. H. Calaby, senior mam- malogist of the wildlife division of CSIRO in Canberra. With them were Dr. E. R. Guiler, senior lec- turer in zoology at the University of Tasmania, and two technicians. They picked up Dr. W. Bryden, Director of the Tasmanian Mu- seum, in the field. This party announced that they would stay in the field for weeks if necessary in order to positively identify the monster. However, they apparently left the site within 24 hours and were in Hobart by the 18th. There in great secrecy they wrote a report which they turned over to Senator Gorton, who
Page 29
MONSTER ON THE BEACH is also in charge of naval affairs of the Federal Government and who was in Tasmania on that account at the time. Senator Gorton issued the epitaph I quoted, the next day. The public report made by the second group after their 24-hour examination and bringing back parts of the corpse included the follow- ing: “The exposed portion of the ma- terial was six feet long and two feet wide. “Tt projected a few inches above the sand surface. “Test holes were dug into the sand around the periphery for sev- eral feet to determine the dimen- sions of the object. “As no solid matter was found in the test holes, we dug around the solid material, passed a rope be- neath, and turned it over, thus re- moving it from the excavation. “When laid out flat, the material was eight feet long, three feet wide, and 10 inches thick at the thickest portion, and from % inch to four inches through. “There were a number of irregu- larly shaped flaps, the juxtaposition of which may have given the im- pression of clefts, and perhaps the flaps themselves gave an appear- ance of lobes. “The appearance of the material on its exposed surface was different from that of the buried portions. “In fact, the material is homo- 20 geneous in that it consists through- out of tough, fibrous material load- ed with fatty or oily substances. “The material has a strong, ran- cid smell, resembling the higher fat- ty acids. “The weight of the object was estimated at a few hundred pounds. “The mass was cut through trans- versely in several places, and par- ticular attention was paid to the flaps. “The material did not contain any bones, spines, or other hard structures. “The hair-like material of the ex- posed surfaces was merely a con- sequence of desiccation and leach- ing of fat-filled fibrous material. “Within the body of the material were casual canals, circular in cross section and % inch to 34 inch in diameter. “After examining the solid ma- terial, further investigation was made around the site in an attempt to determine the original dimensions of the object. “A few inches below the present sand surface was a layer of sand of variable thickness which had been stained black by organic matter, and had the same strong, rancid smell as the solid matter. “This matter extended eight feet beyond the limit of the solid ma- terial in a northerly direction, but to the south and landward sides was only present under the solid ma-
Page 30
30 terial and did not extend beyond its boundaries. “On the seaward side this organic layer extended about 18 feet but we did not consider this distance significant since it follows the natu- ral slope of the beach. “Further investigation was made below the black sand but no solid material was found. “The difference between the size as originally reported and the pres- ent dimensions doubtless is due to decomposition and shrinkage. “In view of the fact that this © material has been stranded for a long time and is much decomposed, it is not possible to specifically identify it from this preliminary in- vestigation. “Samples have been taken for laboratory comparison by appro- priate authorities. “In conclusion, we wish to ex- press our gratitude to the many people whose help and cooperation made this investigation possible.” This report was published in The Mercury, in Hobart, March 19, 1962. And there the story ends. But it doesn’t! ee er ET’S GO BACK over it and take a hard look at some of its enormities. These are legion and can only be described as thoroughly disturbing. They fall under three major heads FATE with one very pertinent corollary — the bringing to light of five other, similar monsters in Tasmania, re- ported over the last 30 years. Such beached monsters are referred to as Marine Turtle-Backs and in my own 30 years of monster hunting T’ve never known them to come singly either, at least on proper in- vestigation of the case. The first set of enormities may be called contradictions ; the second are what I call inanities, being fatu- ous or plainly untrue statements made by experts both upon the sub- ject at hand and upon extraneous items they drag in; the third is secrecy, and on this occasion it is of a blatant, official nature. Usual- ly this is more subtly handled or simple” silence is substituted. In either case it constitutes what good old .Charlie Fort named “The Wipe”; to denote the methods by which orthodoxies of all kinds dis- pose of unpleasantnesses to their orthodoxies, at the same time cover- ing up their own fallibility, lack of knowledge, and prejudices. On this. occasion we have, in the first place, persons who knew or ought to have known what they were talking about making a series of flat statements and giving de- tailed descriptions (with measure- ments) all of which were subse- quently, absolutely, specifically, and categorically denied by other per- sons who also should know what
Page 31
MONSTER ON THE BEACH they are talking about. In all pre- vious cases that I know of the first party always has been composed of persons of whom the second party could say: “not trained in this field” and therefore open to the jibe “unable to interpret what they see”, In this case, despite numerous later attempts to degrade the train- ing and ability of the first group, it was composed of scientists, both professional and those scathingly called amateur — who often are ex- tremely competent and have high university degrees. In view of this, we can but infer one of the following: The first lot were deliberately pulling a “hoax” for publicity. pur- poses. Or they were complete idiots, grossly lacking in knowledge of their chosen fields. If none of these alternatives is true, then the second group either did not see the same thing describ- ed by the first group; they were even less competent; or they de- liberately “covered up”. something. You cannot have it all ways and, on this occasion, it looks very much as if you cannot have it anyway. It looks suspiciously like a classic Wipe, and this suspicion is greatly bolstered by the extraordinary of- ficial secrecy clamped on the whole business. There can be ‘no possible reason or excuse for this unless it was to cover up the disposal of $f something that it was desired should not become known to the public. Scientific discoveries, unless they are vital to the defense, security, or well-being of a nation, cannot be secret. And how could a hunk of flesh half-buried in beach sand for 20 months on a lonely Tasmanian shore be a menace to the Common- wealth of Australia? Are we, for instance, being asked to believe that this was the body of a “space being”, whose existence either in the form of flying saucers themselves or as pilots of flying saucers are known to the govern- ments of the world to be a menace to humanity? There is one vital and absolutely conclusive question not answered in the quoted report. Was the thing ever covered with any kind of hair, wool, or fur? Only mammals have true hair (which can be easily distinguished from hair-like structures such as bristles, vibrissae, etc.) and no known mammal or part of an aquatic mammal, of the dimensions of this “monster”, is covered with hair. One whale has six bristles on its chin and the young of the Gray Whale has lines of sparse bristles along the back of its head and fore- body. Yet, everybody concerned right up to the final act insisted that the “monster” was hairy, or furred, and we even have one sci- entist solemnly stating that one of
Page 32
32 the other monsters found—at a place named Bridport, in 1946 — was “part of a whale .. . and the piece of whale flesh did in fact have a coating of fine hair.” This state- ment was made by the Director of the Queen Victoria Museum in Launceston, north Tasmania, a Mr. Ellis, and constitutes a classic ex- ample of paradox. Coming now to the inanities we encounter some near classics and the usual plethora of divarications and double-talk. This is Stage II of monster hunting, as mentioned above, and got off to a flying start with a whole gamut of wild specula- tion by persons who ought to have kept their mouths shut. Prof. A. M. Clark, of the Uni- versity of Tasmania, may be exhon- erated since he was doubtless pes- tered by newsmen and was prob- ably misquoted as saying that the chances of identifying the monster would be much greater “if some of the bone structure above the mouth section could be obtained.” What mouth, and what bone structure? We may well ask! Nobody report- ed either at any time. Then there was the complete rub- bish from the “nature correspond- ent” of the London Daily Telegraph who thought it was part of the arm of an octopus, an invertebrate, be- cause it weighed less than a whale! But it was—as always —the technologists, as opposed to the sci- FATE entists or science reporters, who came up with the real lulus. A Mr. Tracy described as “Leader of the CSIRO’s wheat research unit” made the thundering statement that “Our tests have established that the sample from the carcass is mainly protein.” Words almost fail me at this point as practically anybody (other than “wheat experts” pre- sumably) will readily understand. But this report goes on to say “This fitted in with other tests showing that the sample contained a lot of collagen, and meant that the sample essentially was tough animal skin like uncured leather.” This is not one that the average housewife will spot, but collagen just happens to be defined (see, the Dictionary of Scientific Terms, Henderson & Ken- neth, 1949; the standard reference) as “A sclero-protein, occurring as chief constituent of white connec- live tissue fibers and organic part of bone, also of some fish scales”. Did he mean blubber, perhaps? Some joker suggested that it was a “prehistoric monster” that had been encased in the ice of the Ant- arctic and recently melted out. Though presumably nothing is im- possible, this is so improbable that it hardly needs comment. Yet, none other than Mr. Calaby did com- ment upon it and the further boner of saying that “The bodies of ex- tinct animals such as the mammoth (have been) found preserved in ice
Page 33
MONSTER ON THE BEACH in the Arctic”. Not one has ever been found in ice. All have been in stuff called “muck”! Mr. A. R. Haly, senior research officer at the Wool Research labora- tories of the CSIRO, presumably called upon because of the sheep- like pelt alleged to clothe the beast, said “Our tests don’t allow us to say what kind of animal it is.” Then he went on to make another pronouncement that was apparently not even reported in Australia but was given great. play in the U.S. This was to the effect that “Heat tests . . . discount the theory that the monster came from the ocean depths. In a heat test the sample shrank at about 86 degrees (Centi- grade or Fahrenheit?) slightly lower than that for whale flesh. (This) further suggests that the creature did not. exist in a cold water area.” Now just what the heck does this mean? First, we have to assume that the scale used was Centigrade for, again as any housewife knows, “flesh” does not “shrink” at the Fahrenheit equivalent of the temperature stat- ed, ie. 15414°F. In fact, it hardly . even cooks! Further, what they were “testing” was manifestly not “flesh”, for anybody can spot a beefsteak and, if the thing was @ whale as finally asserted, its flesh would look just like beefsteak. If it was blubber it would not shrink but would exude oil and any tech- 33 nician could spot this for what it was, quite apart from its distinctive odor. (The skin of the larger whales is, incidentally, just about as thick as a sheet of carbon paper and looks very much like that. Blubber is not skin, but a fibrous substance filled with oil.) Another comedian in the act sug- gested that the monster was some kind of giant ray—a group of fishes related to the sharks, but mostly diamond-shaped in outline and flattened from top to bottom. Among this group are the Mantas or Giant Rays. Professor Clark reentered the fray at this point—the 12th of March — saying that he agreed with this notion but then went on to state for the record “It would be most unusual for a ray such as this to be found in Tasmanian waters. They are usually found in very deep water — several hundred feet down.” Take a look at a chart of the waters around Tasmania and note the depths! At the same time, please also know that Mantas are noted for disporting themselves at the surface and leaping clean out of the water. He then adds “I would be surprised if it had hair like a cat or a dog (you can say that again, professor!) but when they (Man- tas) dried out, small bristles cover- ing them might look like clipped wool,” This last statement is pure rubbish because no ray is covered
Page 34
34 with any kind of “bristles” and be- cause almost in the same breath, Professor Clark said, and correct- ly, that Mantas have a “tough skin which has no scales”. His concluding remark is a very near classic of another sort: “It is unsatisfactory to have it lying on the beach and not know what it is.” It was on the departure of the second group, on March 16th that the spectre of official secrecy first -raised its head. The working press didn’t like it at all — and said so in huge headlines. They applied to the Minister concerned, Senator Gorton, who said “that probably they (the scientists on the trip) felt they should make their reports first to the Premier, and to (him- self) as Minister in charge of the CSIRO.” Thus, we might point out, ’ the good senator fobbed the matter off onto said scientists. The secrecy appears to have been carried to considerable lengths for we find a staff photographer of the National Geographical Society of Washington, Mr. R. B. Goodwood, who happened to be in Australia and who chartered a helicopter, along with an Australian friend named Mr. W. Clarke, to go visit the monster, stating that in Laun- ceston he “had been sworn to sec- recy before being allowed to join the party at Sandy Cape”. Newsmen apparently were kept off for one writes bitterly about FATE visiting the area after the scientists had gone saying “Near a large ex- cavation were two bulky pieces of flesh, each a few feet in diameter, and a smaller piece. At that time the excavation would be no more than a few feet deep.” Either the same or another re- porter elicited some odd facts about the procedure employed after re- moval of two large hunks of flesh that had to be suspended outside the helicopter because of the stench. He wrote: “The secrecy veil which prevented all statements being made about the scientists’ work on the beach also applied to the stor- age of the specimens at Zeehan. The moving of the specimens from the airstrip to the yard of the Central Hotel in the Hydro-Electric Com- mission utility truck was known to few residents. Fewer knew that they were off-loaded in the yard, and the truck’s tray backed over them, The specimens that had near- ly filled the tray were left there until loaded onto another truck which took them to Hobart on Sat- urday morning.” (The 17th, be it noted.) This brings up still another mys- tery. How could these people issue a full and final report on this ma- terial by the evening of the follow- ing day (it took the truck all of Saturday to get to Hobart) when the entire resources of the CSIRO had been making futile attempts to
Page 35
MONSTER ON THE BEACH identify the material for almost a week? Were they miracle workers? Did they make the identification on the beach? Or had the “stuff” real- ly been identified all along? Soe eere HAT ARE WE to make of all this folderol? Was the thing ever 20 feet in diameter as first described? Or was it never more than a piece of rotting whale blubber some 10 feet long? Did it ever have hair, or wool, or fur, or did it only appear to have, because decomposition and being leached of its oil left it a hairy-looking fibrous mat, as invariably happens with old whale corpses? Who among all the people who examined it or said they examined it really are scien- tists, with or without formal train- ing? How many “monsters” are lying about on the beaches of Tas- mania and did the second group ac- tually examine the same one that Mollison reported on, and the same one Messrs. Fenton, Boote, and An- thony first found? There is no as- surance of this, and the record of the “monster’s” movements along the beach is extremely obscure and muddled in any case. But this is not all. 35 Of major import in all this hul- labaloo is the question of scientific veracity and official responsibility. Are we solemnly asked to believe that any group of persons even with the slightest grounding in element- ary high school biology could mis- take a 10 foot lump of rotting whale blubber for a 20-foot un- known, hairy boneless invertebrate? The idea seems preposterous; but, if it is so, we humbly suggest some- thing very drastic indeed should be done about Australian education in the field of the natural sciences! If it is not so, just what was it that Messrs Fenton, Boote, and Anthony found? And why should everybody go to so much pains to get rid of it? Where are the samples? Where is a proper biochemical analysis of them to be obtained? Was it all just a gross mistake that “science” had to cover up to avoid displaying its gullibility and inefficiency? Why the secrecy and the double-talk? Whatever it was, for my money as a professional monster-hunter and as a trained zoologist, the whole thing stinks. Those who examined “the mon- ster” can’t even agree on that!

Born into a noted stage family, actress Ida Lupino has starred in many outstand- ing motion pictures and has appeared in TV plays. In recent years she also has achieved success as a director and pro- ducer in these fields of entertainment. The operator insisted nobody had phoned—but there could be no doubt that they had just talked with Uncle Andy. by Danton Walken DA LUPINO’S story, involving a telephone call, is very dra- matic. “My father belonged to a club in London similar to the Lambs Club in New York,” Ida wrote me. “He had the title of Treasurer of Secrets, which carries with it Ma- sonic responsibilities. The story in- volves a fellow member, and one of his closest friends, to whom I shall have to give the fictitious name of Andrew Meyer, for a variety of seasons. From SPOOKS DE LUXE, by Danton Walker, copyright 1956 by Danton Walk- er, published by Franklin Watts, Inc. “Uncle Andy,’ as I called him, was a frequent visitor at our home and I was very fond of him; in fact, all of us were. “At the time, we were living with my grandmother at her home in the outskirts of London, while my par- ents— whom I always called by their first names, Stanley and Con- nie — were playing an engagement in one of the London variety houses. “One night, about half past 10, I woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep again. I had had a disturbing
Page 37
dream about Uncle Andy and de- cided to go downstairs and tell my grandmother about it. I was nine years old and very impressionable. “Granny was in the kitchen, pre- paring supper fer my parents, who were due back from the theatre where they were working. While I was telling Granny about my dream, the phone in the hall rang. “Answer it, Ida,’ Granny said. ‘T have my hands full.’ “T went to the phone, took the receiver off the hook and heard a voice on the line, but it was so faint that I could scarcely understand the words. Finally, the voice be- came stronger and I could under- stand the message, repeated mo- notonously several times: ‘I must talk to Stanley. It is terribly im- portant.’ “T answered: ‘Oh, it’s you, Uncle Andy! Daddy isn’t home yet.’ But the voice kept repeating the same words, and this time quite distinct- ly: ‘Stanley —I must talk to Stan- ley —its terribly important.’ “T asked him to hold the line until I could get Granny. She went to the phone and I heard her say, ‘Why, Andy —are you ill? I'll ask Stanley to call you the moment he comes in.’ Then the phone was cut off and there was no further talk. “Grandmother was quite cross. She flashed the switchboard opera- tor and told her that a phone call had been interrupted. She was even more exasperated when the operator said she didn’t believe there had been a call on the line during the past hour. There being no way to complete the call — she didn’t know from what part of London Uncle Andy had been phoning — she went back to her chores. “About half an hour later, Stan- ley and Connie arrived home and_I gave Stanley Uncle Andy’s message. Connie dropped suddenly into a chair and looked as though she were going to faint. “Stanley said I must be mistaken — and, anyway, it was time for me to be in bed. “Granny said, ‘But she’s not mis- taken, Stanley, and I think you had better call Andy. He sounded as though he was very ill.’ “ ‘Mom —’ Stanley answered, and [ll never forget how tense his voice sounded, ‘Andrew Meyer is dead.

Hur o's AND THE RECORD FLIGHT OF THE X-15 They were so excited about the new altitude record they almost overlooked the strange movies the X-15’s cameras filmed. INS Test Pilot Joseph Albert Walker did more than set a new world altitude record when he guided the rocket-powered X-15 airplane to 246,700 feet — 46.7 miles — above the earth early in May. He brought back motion pictures of a covey of UFO’s, though even he did not realize it until a few days later when the films had been de- veloped. There are several cameras mount- ed on the X-15 to take motion pic- tures during flight, record instru- ment readings, and generally scan the environment of space. One camera was mounted on the plane’s fuselage, pointing toward the rear, Just as the X-15 arced over the top of its flight and headed toward the earth 46 miles below, the cam- era took photographs of five or six disc-shaped objects. Their size and 38 OB Nile C Re distance are, of course, unknown. “From what we can tell, they seem to be disc-shaped, or perhaps even cylindrical. But it’s impossible to estimate their size or their dis- tance from the camera,” Walker ex- plained. “All I know is what appeared on the film in later study. I saw noth- ing of this nature myself during the flight,” he said. He showed slides of the objects in which they appeared light against the darker sky and seemed to be moving toward the horizon. Walker’s perhaps unexpected rev- elation placed the National Aero- nautics and Space Administration (NASA) for which Walker flies, spang in the middle of a contro- versy. No one had breathed a word of the strange discovery before Walker startled the second National Conference on the Peaceful Uses of

; WERE THEY ICE FLAKES? HERE WAS REALLY nothing unusual about the alleged UFO’s filmed by Joe Walker’s rear-facing cameras during his record-breaking flight, NASA engineers hastened to re- port as FATE was going to press. The “mysterious objects” were nothing more nor less than ice flakes, experts from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced from Edwards Air Force Base. They declared that the ice flakes came from the fuel tanks and were caused by liquid oxygen. The statement available to Fatr was made on May 15, only five days after Walker had made his public announce- ment. It did not present the evidence from which the con- clusion was drawn nor did it explain why the announcement came so abruptly. Space with the story on May 10 in Seattle, Wash. The panel was made up of eight American space explorers, every one of whom has flown over 100,000 feet altitude. As a test pilot, Joe Walker has flown more hot planes than any other man in the country. But the verbal flight he made as a member of the Seattle panel may be as hot an aerial journey as he ever took. How big were the objects and how distant? Observers urged cau- tion in speculating on this, since it is impossible to judge the size of objects without reference points. Unless it is close enough for its size to be judged by the stereoscopic vision of the eye—at most but a few feet — an object as large as a ferris wheel could appear the size 39 of a discus if it were far enough away. If it were close enough, the discus could look the size of a ferris wheel. Wee THE OBJECTS on Joe Walker’s film genuine flying saucers? If so, this may be the big- gest news story of this decade. Federal officials were ultra cau- tious. When the sensational announce- ment of the Walker film first came through over the radio, FAtE’s edi- torial staff telephoned its Washing- ton representative who promptly contacted NASA—the National Aeronautics and Space Administra- tion. NASA in Washington stated sim- ply that there was no additional in- formation — that Pilot Walker had
Page 40
40- been cleared to give out the one statement and that nothing else was available. No photographs were available at press time. NASA headquarters re- ported only that they are “study- ing the pictures to see if there is a defect in the film.” This was not exactly the story at Edwards Air Force Base in Cali- fornia, however, where the films were developed and where they are under study. There spokesmen for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration expressed surprise that Walker had made a statement on the objects—indicating that the subject might not have been in- tended for release. It is true, however, that Walker’s announcement took the other panel- ists by surprise. Col. John Glenn, the first U.S. Astronaut, turned to Joe and said, “We’re going to get together and talk this over.” Other members of the panel in- cluded three balloonists; Comdr. Malcolm Ross, Air Force Capt. Jo- seph Kittinger and Air Force Col. David Simmons; and X-15 pilots Neil Armstrong of NASA, Navy Comdr. Forrest. Petersen and Air Force Maj. Bob White. Colonel Glenn reiterated his state- ment before the panel about seeing tiny “fireflies” on his orbital flights. “T don’t feel they were snowflakes or paint peeling off the outside of the capsule. I don’t feel they orig- FATE inated from the capsule at all — because some of them were coming toward me,” Glenn declared. “They were about the size of a firefly and about the same color —a greenish- yellow.” Major Titov, the Soviet Cosmo- naut, also declared he had noticed something like fireflies during his 17 orbits of the earth. One panelist who had already seen Joe Walker’s movies was Air Force Major Bob White, who flew the X-15 to a record 4,093 m.p.h. last November and has exceeded 200,000 feet altitude in it. White did not have an explanation for the objects and said he had never ob- served such things on any of his flights. Astronaut Scott Carpenter had not yet made his earth-orbiting flight at the time of the Seattle conference, but he had been alerted to look for the “fireflies”. He did see them, of course, but said they looked to him like “snowflakes.” In Los Angeles, a group of tele- vision newsreel men viewed footage of the Walker film containing the objects and decided they were not sufficiently clear for explanation. A NASA spokesman, however, made a classic statement to United Press International: “Tt is not entirely impossible,” he said, “that these objects might turn out to be some defect in the film.” We invite you think about that
Page 41
UFO’s AND THE RECORD FLIGHT OF THE X-15 41 statement for a moment. Does it mean that it is “almost impossible” for the objects not to be real? What would one estimate - the chances to be that the objects were actually a film defect? What does “not entirely impossible” mean, anyway? Does it mean that the chances are one in a hundred? One in a thousand? One in a million? Let me make a similar statement about this magazine that you are reading: “Jt is not entirely impos- sible that it will spontaneously ig- nite-in your hands and burn to ash- Gsa Well, there isn’t much chance that that could happen, is there? But it still is not entirely impos- sible. To us it sounds like this is the last clutching of straws of a drown- ing man who doesn’t want to be- lieve in flying saucers. And that, certainly, is not entire- ly impossible. NS THAT WE have reported as much as could be gathered about Joe Walker’s mysterious ob- jects up to press time, it is well to consider recent UFO sightings along with the dilemma that recent events have presented to the Air Force. Last February 7, the newspapers of the nation were filled with de- risive headlines announcing the lat- est conclusions of the United States Air Force that flying saucers don’t exist.. Here are typical headlines: FLYING SAUCERS MYTH 15-YEAR STUDY SHOWS BIRDS, LIGHTS MAYBE: NOT FLYING SAUCERS AF’S CONCLUSION: FLYING SAUCERS AREN’T FLYING SAUCERS WASHED UP BY EXPERTS All of these stories were based on Department of Defense Fact Sheet No. 179-62 and they all followed the same theme that after 15 years of investigating flying saucers there NASA Test Pilot Joseph A. Walker, 41, made record-breaking high altitude flight in the rocket-powered X-15 experimental plane. He released news of mysterious objects caught by movie camera during flight. UPI Photo.

42 is no evidence that any of the 7,369 unidentified flying objects checked on were real. “They might have been birds, balloons, hoaxes, or unusual sky lights — but not spacecraft from other planets,” read one AP report. No one could read these news- paper stories without concluding the Air Force had finally decided that UFO’s don’t exist and was once and for all issuing a final report to that effect. The truth is quite different. The Air Force fact sheet which was converted into a sensational pronouncement of doom to all UFO’s really stated nothing that would warrant such a conclusion. The fact sheet was merely a rou- tine report, such as the Air Force has issued periodically, bringing the results of its UFO investigations up to date. There was nothing much different about it from any number. of previous situation reports. There was a brief review of the back- ground and then a summary of statistics. Far from sounding the death knell of UFO’s, the report evalu- ated 483 sightings between January 1 and December 31, 1961. This was “a slight decrease” from 1960. Of the 483 cases, 99 were cate- gorized as “insufficient evidence”, while only 10 are claimed to be “Unidentified”, although this is ac- tually an increase from 1960. FATE What does “Unidentified” mean? The Air Force considers a sighting “Unidentified” when a report ap- parently contains all the pertinent data necessary to normally suggest at least one valid hypothesis on the cause or explanation of the sight- ing, but the description of the ob- ject and its motion cannot be cor- related with any known object or phenomena.” Beyond the statistics, the fact sheet, on which the newspapers read UFO?’s out of existence, was merely an affirmation of an Air Force view- point that has been publicly main- tained for many years. There is nothing particularly new about it. The AF repeated its conclusions that: @ To date, no unidentified object has given any indication of threat to the national security. @ There has been no evidence sub- mitted to or discovered by the Air Force that unidentified sightings re- presented technological develop- ments or principles beyond the range of our present day scientific knowledge. @ There has been nothing in the way of evidence or other data to indicate that these unidentified sightings were extraterrestrial ve- hicles under intelligent control. Now the above are very “iffy” statements. Note that the Air Force very carefully does not deny the existence of flying saucers. What it

UFO’s were recorded by a rear-pointing movie camera on fuselage, UPI Photo. says is that they do not indicate a threat to our security. The statement also says that the UFO’s don’t perform beyond the range of our present knowledge. Well, what does that mean? Does it mean that considering everything that is presently known about sci- ence we see that in the future we might possibly build a vehicle that would perform the way UFO’s per- form? We think that’s what it means. The words “beyond the range’ is the clue. Certainly the fact that men are planning trips to Mars in- dicates they don’t believe the trips are beyond the range of present sci- entific knowledge. We may not be _able to do it now, but it is not be- yond our range. And lastly, the third statement is very cautiously worded. Reread it most carefully. It says there’s no evidence that UFO’s are extrater- restrial vehicles under intelligent control. Does this mean that they are or could be extraterrestrial vehicles not under intelligent control? Could it
Page 44
44 also mean that they are terrestrial vehicles under intelligent control? You see, there are loopholes all over the place and if we are prop- erly skeptical we won’t accept any FATE flying saucer fact sheets, or reports of such fact sheets, without inspect- ing them thoroughly. The Air Force wouldn’t expect less of us, would it? ut DID ST. BRENDAN DISCOVER AMERICA? EOFFREY ASHE, English G author and researcher, be- lieves it is posssible that the ac- tual discoverer of the New World may have been an Irish- man whose journey is woven in- to the legend of St. Brendan. Although celebrated for cen- turies as the hero of a voyage across the Atlantic, little is known about St. Brendan oth- er than that he was born at Tralee about 484 A.D. and died in 578 A.D. as the abbot of a Benedictine monastery founded by him at Clonfert in eastern Galway. In a new book, Land to the West, Ashe examines the St. Brendan legend in the light of his researches. St. Brendan evi- dently was a missionary with a wanderlust. He is known to have visited Brittany and the Hebrides in coracles, little boats built of skins stretched over wood frames. According to an account pub- lished in the 10th century as “The Voyage of St. Brendan,” the intrepid missionary heard one day that a monk had crossed the ocean in a single night, by supernatural means, and visited a “land of promise.” St. Brendan decided to see this wonderful land himself. He built a large coracle and with a crew of monks set out on a journey during which he wit- nessed many wonders. Reaching the land of prom- ise after years of travel, St. Brendan explored it for 15 days. At a deep river a youth urged him to return home, stating that the land of promise was not to be revealed to St. Bren- dan’s people until many years later. During his journey St. Bren- dan reportedly saw an island of giant blacksmiths hurling fire, a huge floating column of erystal and a thickly curdled expanse of ocean. Ashe feels these indicate St. Brendan saw Iceland with its volcano, an iceberg and the Sargasso Sea. Thus, he believes, the 10th century chronicle proves the Trish knew about the far At- lantic and probably even Amer- ica long before the Norse sagas. _—

ANGEL TEARS By Henrietta Redemske Y FIRST experience with an- gel tears was during my mother’s last illness, in 1934, I had heard this expression from a neigh- bor but thought it was just that, an expression showing her regret at Mother’s suffering. It all began in the spring with what Mom thought was just a bad cold, the kind that “hangs on” un- til warm weather. She treated this cough herself, but even summer did not find her feeling any better. Finally she consented to see the doctor and he advised complete bed rest. However, Mother insisted on getting up for an hour or two each evening, to sit at her regular place at the kitchen table and read the evening newspaper. I used to care for her during the day while my children were in school and usually Dad or my brother, Joseph, would stay with her in the evenings. One day she mentioned feeling the angel tears and I laughed at 45 her, telling her she was imagining things. She told me not to laugh, that the angel tears fell regularly at 9:00 P.M. every evening. Usual- ly at that time my dad and brother would have gone out for a while, knowing if Mom needed anything her old friend and neighbor, Mrs. Heater, would come up. Now Mom said if I would come and sit with her some evening she would prove that the angel tears really were falling. I agreed, and that same evening I explained to my husband that I was going to sit with my mom that night. I arrived at my parent’s flat on South Hermitage about 7:00 P.M. and sat down to read at the op- posite end of the kitchen table from Mom. When 9:00 o’clock approached Mother said, “Now watch!” Sure enough at 9:00 o’clock drops of clear fluid, like rain, fell visibly on her arms and on the paper she was holding in front of her, One could hear the slow patter, like rain-drops. a
Page 46
46 I still (though chilled with dread) said there had to be a scientific ex- planation. But Mom said, “Watch while I walk.” As she rose and moved toward her bedroom the drops of liquid follow- ed and continued falling nowhere else but on her. I stood right next to her but none fell on me, yet there they were, dropping on her arms and on the newspaper which she carried. I checked the walls, the ceiling, the vents in the wall; I checked everything I could think of that might be giving off moisture. There was no dampness anywhere. Those nightly angel tears fell un- til Mom was completely bedridden. On December 18, 1934, she passed away in her sleep. My second experience with angel tears came in 1954 when I felt the drops on my own arms. Again there was no possible explanation. How- ever, these angel tears did not her- ald danger for my life. But in a few days my brother, Joseph, in- formed me of his daughter’s and my niece’s death after an auto ac- cident from which she never re- gained consciousness. I wonder if anyone else has ex- perienced or does experience this particular phenomenon? I should like to hear from them if they also receive this type of warning of im- pending tragedy. — Chicago, Il. FATE DEATH CAN BE SEEN By Maude L. Greer HAVE HAD many psychic ex- periences in my life but there was a time, when I was going through the deepest kind of trouble, when I seemed more psychic than ever. I knew when people were going to die and it distressed me terribly. I did not want to know this and I tried to shut it out of my life. There seemed no reason for me to see these things. Two instances I remember vivid- ly ... even after 30 years. We had rented a house in Selig- man, Ariz., from a nice, middle-aged man named Johnson. He also owned the hotel. One day in an early spring I had to go to the grocery store. I went in a hurry thinking of the things I needed for lunch. My landlord was sitting on a box facing the back of the store. As I passed him I felt a sort of shock or chill come over me. I turned around and looked at him but I couldn’t seem to see him. It was as though he sat in a shadow. Puzzling over the strange way I felt I went on to the back where the canned vegetables were. But the strange feeling was so strong I couldn’t remember what it was I had come to the store to get.

TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES He died the next afternoon with quinsy of the throat. The second vivid incident con- cerned a woman whom I met brief- ly one evening in Williams, Ariz. She ran a place for railroad men that we would call today a com- bination rooming and _ boarding house, with motel-like cabins around on the back ‘of the lot. My hus- band had known Ma Brown for years in his railroad career. She was affectionately known as Ma to all the railroad men. We were at Ma Brown’s place in the fall of 1930, I think it was, to visit a man and his wife who had a cabin in back. When we came down the board walk after our visit a big, round-faced, fat woman was sitting in a chair reared back against the wall of a small room. The door was wide open, the light was on, but a deep shadow was around her. My husband spoke to her and told her I was his wife. I was so upset I pulled away and almost ran down the walk. When my hus- band caught up with me I was shak- ing like a leaf. He was angry. He wanted to know what was the mat- ter with me! I blurted out, “She’s going to die.” He said, “You're crazy.” But Ma Brown died five days later from a cerebral hemorrhage. My husband thought I was some kind of a freak. After that I never 47 told him anything I “knew”. — Jop- lin, Mo. THE SINGING TEACUP By Erva Loomis Merow HE TEACUP is _ incredibly fragile in appearance. Along the top, just where you’d put your lips, is a row of open pink flowers. Tiny vines of gold trail down the outside of the cup. The saucer is lined with pink flowers and gold vines and the cup seems to settle down into a cluster of pink petals. Besides being beautifully curved and delicate, it has a most unusual quality! It sings!! We keep it on top of the television set, beside a bud vase and the family Bible. Whenever there is music and laugh- ter, this little cup sings until we are afraid it will break to pieces! It receives a great amount of re- ERVA LOOMIS MEROW

Fighting cowboys and Indians, don’t stir it at all, but if the cowboys sing the teacup practically dances in the saucer. At times it reaches such a high pitch we are afraid it will crumble to pink dust. I find myself looking at the tea- cup and feeling a certain amount of guilt. I have no right to have it as my own. Experts tell me it is very, very old. My mother tells me that when I was very young, in 1934, a nice old lady, Mrs. Kin- ley of Blackriver Falls, Wis., gave it to me. The cup and saucer were wrapped separately in newspaper. I galloped in the back door one day with them in my hands. Now, what has always troubled me is why that dear old lady gave such a tomboy, this beautiful treas- ure. Did she think it would make a lady of me? And who gave it to her? It was made in Austria ac- cording to the faint script on the bottom of the cup. Someone packed it for an ocean voyage. Did it bounce over the prairies in a cov- ered wagon? Once during a severe wind and rain storm a friend sat in the living room with me. Knowing she was afraid of storms I tuned in a FATE musical television show. The teacup began to sing at its very best! My friend leaped to her feet! “What is it, what is it?” she screamed. “Please stop it.” I turned the set off at once. “Why, that’s my teacup. It sings!” I said. “Sings?” she whispered, “It sounded like a hundred women cry- ing in the wind!” So there sits my teacup! IT’ never know how many women ad- mired it before me—how many women carefully washed and wiped it. But of its many mysteries, the one that fascinates me most: did it sing for the other women? — Ken- osha, Wis. “IT 1S JESUS” By Franc Hammer Baird WAS BORN with Pisces, Cancer and Eighth House planets, con- sequently I have always been some- what psychic and spiritually in- clined, and occasionally have had visions.

Every feature of the face and figure of my benefactor were indelibly impressed upon my consciousness, and remain so to this day, although at the time I was confused and unable to grasp the situation. At first I did not recognize Him; but as an indescribable sensation permeated my entire being, I was suddenly illumined and as J rose from my bed I spoke out in a loud voice: “It is JESUS.” Needless to say I was almost immediately re- stored to normal health, and ele- vated to a higher spiritual level. But this was not the end of it. The strangest part of all was that this face in no way resembled any of the many paintings I had seen of “the Christ”. later while waiting in the reception room of an office I picked up a magazine, issued by a religious or- ganization, and received a shock when on its cover I saw the exact likeness of the face which had ap- peared to me in my vision.

MY FORD STOPPED DEAD By Buck Nelson M* PARTNER, John Hender- son, and I were living in Mis- But some time. 49 souri when we decided to visit the Rocky Mountain States and the State Parks. I had a Model T Ford car with a Ruckstell axle in which we headed West. I cannot remem- ber the date, but it was in the Model T days. Before we got out of the moun- tains, on our way back to St. Louis, Nature uncorked one of her worst snow storms. It was a regular bliz- zard. 1 could not see to drive and there were many bad curves in Ra- ton Pass years ago. It was freezing cold and getting colder. We were nearly frozen, but we felt we could not camp in the middle of the road as by next morning the roads might be completely blocked with snow. Also, we might freeze to death as our provisions and resources were low. The snow was getting deeper BUCK NELSON

It neither ran off the road, even though the visibility was almost zero, nor stalled in the deep snow. _ Finally we came to a big house. T turned in the drive way but as we approached the house my car stopped dead! We got out and something, a hunch or a feeling of some sort, made me caution my partner to stay out from in front of the Ford. We found the house deserted but made camp inside. Next morning investigation by the light of day showed us a deep well, badly caved in at the top, right in front of my Ford. We had es- caped death twice—when the Ford stopped dead of its own accord be- fore plunging into the well, and when we were warned not to walk in front of the car. We both thanked God Yes, God Will Take Care Of Vou (one of my favorite songs).— Mountain View, Mo. THE COLLECTION By G. M. pp SSTEEN YEARS ago, on De- +~ cember 10, 1943, only a few days before my third and youn- gest child was born, my whole fam- ily contracted a severe case of the flu. I didn’t feel I was too sick al- though I had a fever. That night I FATE went to bed with my youngest child, Johnny, who was quite sick too. I was soon asleep. In my sleep I saw two men’ come out of my long, deep bedroom closet that was built under the stair steps. One man came up to my head and the other stood near the foot of my bed. With horror I saw they carried a large open coffin between them. They looked at me and I knew they want- ed me to do something. I could get into the coffin or put my sleeping baby into it! Frightened beyond words I quick- ly made a decision, for in the bed with me was all our ready cash. This I hastily dumped into the coffin! Then the men silently went back into the dark closet. I awoke with a start, frightened, for I felt this was not a dream. It was too real. My baby was no worse and I was no worse with flu. The next day, or the day after, I went to the hospital. A nice baby boy was born and although I con- tinued to cough for seven days I was getting better. Johnny, at home, got worse. He developed pneumonia but recovered —in the hospital. However, since then our money falls through my husband’s and my fingers. Every deal we get into seems to fall through. Nevertheless, I am happy I have my three boys, now healthy fine men. It could have been different! So I live with this thought.—Pingree, N. Dak.

Magic and Souls of Eskimos By Porter SD ctclon Photo shows Peter Freuchen a few years be- fore his death in 1957. Beginning in 1906, he lived continually among Eskimos as an ex- plorer, trader and administrator. He studied their ways of life in all the Polar regions. The Eskimo medicine man was naked and tightly bound. How did he vanish from the igloo during the sedhce? O* THE ROCK at Agpat, be- hind Thule, where the dead ones were stone-set, I often saw men and women sit in quiet medi- tation. On these occasions they would dress in their newest and most beautiful clothes, and then sit quite still, staring out over the land and sea for hours on end. They be- lieved that during this stillness they received the wisdom of the an- cestors. It is the only thing ap- proximating religious devotion I have seen among them, but also — I think —the most beautiful form of devotion I have ever seen. For there is no benevolent deity. The protective spells of the names and the amulets and the helping spirits of the angakoks are man’s only defense against nature, which otherwise is populated with numer- ous spirits who always are ready to work their evil against mankind if sin or breach of taboo is committed. With his happy-go-lucky mind, the Eskimo believes that the good is sufficient unto itself and takes care 52
Page 53
of itself. But living in a barren and perilous nature, he believes that the evil must constantly and vigilantly be placated and kept at bay. So, when — after having obeyed all rules of good behavior and bro- ken no taboos —a tribe is still af- flicted with sickness or bad weather and starvation, it is up to the anga- kok to find out how people have, knowingly or unknowingly, offended the spirits. He can summon his helping spirits, he can travel to the underworld, under the sea, and through the rocks, and thus find out where the trouble is. Essentially; angakoks are people who are experienced in the state of trance, without therefore having any monopoly on it. I have often ob- served even the people serving in our house at Thule in a state of trance, sometimes for days on end. It is necessary to bring to mind the long depressing winter with its black darkness and its aura of evil lurk- ing around, and the summer with its perpetual sunshine that wearies the mind and confuses the senses. Every year, in the fall, we had a veritable epidemic of evil spirits materializ- ing among the houses when the storms and the darkness set in, and panic ensued. Sometimes nerves would reach the limit of endurance, consciousness would be cancelled out, and the individual in question ) Until his death in Alaska in 1957, Peter Freuchen knew the Eskimos bettér than any white man in the world knew them. He first visited them with the Danish Expedition to Greenland in 1906. In 1910, in partnership with the part-Eskimo Knud Rasmussen, he founded a trading station which he named Thule. In 1910 he went on the First Thule Expedition, made maps of the land around the Peary Canal, and became administrator and man- ager of Thule until 1919. He con- tinued living and traveling among the Eskimos, even after losing his left foot in 1924, and studied them in Arctic Russia, Alaska, the Hud- son Bay Area and Greenland. His third wife, Dagmar, believes that © Freuchen’s tremendous knowledge and understanding of the Eskimos came in large part from his first wife, a beautiful Eskimo girl named Navarana who died after 10 years of marriage.

54 would become senseless and hys- terical, doing and saying incompre- hensible things. However, the Es- kimos regard this as a sacred state. The afflicted person is temporarily given the same respect as is shown the angakok, and after his seizure he is invited to interpret what has been revealed to him. His revela- tions can sometimes be startling. When Knud was on his second trip across the icecap, we sat one evening and talked about him. Sud- denly one of the old women, Inaluk, slipped out of the door, and five minutes later we heard her singing outside. We went out and found her standing there in the moonlight, without her coat, swaying from side to side, and her long black hair switching around her face: “Those who have been on the east side are back, Those who have been on the east side are back. Satok and his wife will visit us too, His wife is preparing by taking off her pants.” As she emerged from her trance, she went on to say that Knud and his party were returning home, but that two of them were missing. “Ts Knud missing?” I asked. She made a pause in her conjur- ing to jeer: “Who suggests that the icecap can get the better of Kunuk? Perhaps somebody else had difficul- ties up there.” FATE When the various visitors had gone home, we went to bed. I was a bit disturbed by Inaluk’s augury and couldn’t fall asleep. All of a sudden, Knud stuck his head in the door! Great joy to see each other again, but the look of the icecap was upon him, with months of star- vation and hardship written on his face. It was several minutes before I asked: “Are all of you here?” “No, two are missing,” answered Knud. That was the end of the ill-fated Second Thule Expedition. Our dear Eskimo friend, Henrik Olsen, was eaten by wolves, and the Swedish scientist Dr. Wulff had to be left behind to die on the icecap! Just to complete Inaluk’s record, Satok and his wife did come visit- ing, although a whole month later. The state of unconsciousness is so important and so familiar to the Eskimos that even the children play at it. It is a favorite pastime of theirs to hang themselves by their hoods. When these tighten about their necks, the blood is kept from their heads, and in time they lose consciousness. The other children in the house take them down when their faces turn purple. But they say that the state of unconscious- ness is so delightful that they play this game over and over again. * Ok Ok HAVE PERSONALLY met many angakoks in my time,
Page 55
MAGIC AND SOULS OF ESKIMOS 55 and I am convinced that there were no charlatans among them. They train themselves to enter the state of trance whenever they want and to interpret their visions when they return to consciousness. It is not possible to reduce them to mere magicians, as has sometimes been tried. I would rather say hypno- suggestion and mass hypnosis were the tools that they unconsciously used. Also, they actually do not wield very much influence in the Eskimo society except in cases where they also are chief hunters; but even if this happens, quite often it still remains the exception. For a great hunter and outstanding pro- vider is such because he is quiet and sober, while an angakok most often is a less successful hunter, a man who suffers under the mono- tony of daily routine, and who is only called upon in the hour of need, It is a special trait of the Eskimos that they can very well pay homage to a man for a short time, without looking up to him through- out their whole lives just because they accept his help at one time or another. When a young man wants to be- come an angakok, he will usually attach himself to an older man of the profession and learn from him. There are various systems and schools of thought, and the means of slipping in and out of trance are many. One way is to starve and thirst until the feverish mind starts the proper hallucinations. Another way is to obtain concentration and paralysis of the conscious mind by, for instance, going to a lonely place and rubbing a stone in a circle on a rock for hours and days on end. This was the method used by the great Odark when his two helping spirits, two little men as high as his thumb, showed themselves to him. When the apprentice has learned the trance, his next task is to pro- cure his helping spirits. Again, the various systems differ: he can, for instance, divide the spirits into classes, and demand a helping spirit of each class and for each field of his activity, usually at least five or six. He must — during his trances —make mental journeys to find them, and when they reveal them- selves to him, he must touch them —then they become his. They could be the spirits of the sun and the moon, or those of his ancestors, also those of powerful animals, or they could reveal themselves as utterly unknown and horrible mon- sters. mand te OnE OF THE MORE impor- tant tasks of the angakok is to cure sickness. In doing so, he cures the soul, never the body. The body has no life of its own. It is the soul that— because of some sin, or influenced by an evil spirit —creates suffering and expresses
Page 56
56 it through the body. It is up to the angakok to undertake a journey to the realm of the spirits and find out where the affliction originates. When he comes back, he prescribes the cure. Having studied medicine myself, I can only say that I have the high- est regard for the angakoks in this activity. I think, for instance, of Greenland as it was before the ad- vent of the most modern develop- ment, with its small settlements and outposts. It was not possible for the doctors there to be present at more than about five per cent of the sick cases; the great distances and traveling conditions forbade it. Conscious of the fact that they had a physician, the patient and his family would wail because he couldn’t be there, and all would look hopeless. It was different with the Polar Eskimos, who were not yet bap- tized. They got immediate help from their angakok. His influence was naturally of a suggestive sort, but he could sometimes bring the sick man to believe in him. In this way pain frequently disappeared, as the patient was hypnotized into feeling well. More than once I have seen a man who actually was fatally strick- en, but who had been convinced of his cure, sustained in his faith in the angakok until the very moment when his body refused to function FATE any more and he collapsed in death. But at least hope was maintained, and the patient suffered none of that fear for the fate of his family that is a dying man’s greatest mis- fortune. On the other hand, of course, it could happen that the angakok pro- nounced the doom of the patient —who would then succumb very soon, The presence of a doctor who was many miles away from his pa- tient was no match for the direct hypnotic influence of the angakok. I have also seen samples of how the angakok’s magic formulas could encourage the patient, to the extent that he had faith in them. Once, when I was assisting in the ampu- tation of some broken fingers, the injured man felt no pain because an old sage sat by him speaking pain- dulling magic formulas during the operation. A ANGAKOK, or evil spirit, can rob a person’s soul. When that happens to a person he withers away gradually and finally dies. The only remedy against it is that another angakok might see his way to get his soul back for him. Some people among the Hudson Bay Eskimos take no risks of this kind. When a boy baby is born, they send for the angakok to exor- cise his soul and tuck it away under the mother’s blubber lamp, which is the one place where it is safe. No * * x
Page 57
MAGIC AND SOULS OF ESKIMOS 57 matter how far the son should stray away from this lamp later in life, the soul has power enough to radi- ate all its faculties to him at all times. Another method for an angakok to do evil to an enemy is that of creating a tupilag, a hell animal. He does that by collecting bones from various animals and putting them together into a skeleton, which he then wraps in a skin. He puts it at a prescribed place, and after much conjuring it becomes alive and swims across the path of the hunter who is to die. As soon as this hunter has harpooned it, he is doomed. Thus I was told that the great angakok Kritlaq, who led the immigration from Baffin Land, once wanted to harm his rival Sorqaq. One day Sorqaq’s son, Tatterat, harpooned a seal which aroused his enthusiasm in a quite unnatural de- gree; he hopped and danced and almost went berserk. And sure enough, when the seal was brought home and cut up, it turned out that all the bones were wrong; it was a tupilag fashioned by Kritlaq. A short time later, Tatterat began to develop stiffness in his legs, and in time he became completely para- lyzed so that his mother had to feed him like a baby and take care of him. How this injured Sorqaq can be seen by the fact that he came to great poverty and indig- nity as an old man, with nobody to provide for him. As for Tatterat, he lived for some years with us at the Thule Station. Eventually, even his jaws were paralyzed, and I had to knock his front teeth out with a hammer so as to provide a hole through which he could be fed. But he always chattered a blue streak and demonstrated the Eskimo’s usual happiness at being alive. x * x HE FIRST SEANCE that I ever witnessed was performed by Sorgqaq, when we had been at Thule for hardly a year. That period had been marked by many strange accidents and tragedies, and finally Sorqaq announced that he would attempt a journey to the underworld to try to find the rea- son. And he proved his good in- tentions by fasting for several days, and frequently looking at his excre- ment until it appeared satisfactory. He then went up to the cliffs to meditate and prepare himself for the travel through bedrock, which he would surely have to swim through in order to find Tornarssuk. A huge igloo was built for the occasion and draped inside with old tent skins. Along one wall it had a ledge that was to serve as a Stage. On the appointed evening, the set- tlement gathered in the igloo. There were also many visitors from other settlements, and Krilerneq, Sorqaq’s assistant, arranged the seating. Sorgqaq was the last man to enter
Page 58
58 the igloo, and he was announced three times before he finally ar- rived. He greeted us all by saying that we were all a bunch of idiots to have come to see a thing that didn’t have a word of truth in it, and which he was incapable of doing anyway. The audience answered his modesty with shouts of praise and encouragement. He then walk- ed up to me and asked me to leave: “This is nothing for the great white man to look at. I am a big liar, and even if these fools are stupid enough to believe me, I could never deceive you, and your presence will embarrass me. What happens here has nothing to do with the truth.” “T should like to listen to your great wisdom.” “Naw, naw,” he said. “That goes to show you that even a white man may be born foolish.” I concurred with him in that, and he went over to his ledge. There he took off his clothes, which were re- moved by Krilerneq, and sat stark naked. Then Krilerneq took several sealskin lines and bound Sorqaq tight, tying his arms to his body and binding his legs together. The thongs cut into his muscles, but he kept himself rigid. Next, Krilerneq placed the drum, the drumstick, and a piece of dried sealskin beside him on the ledge. Then he joined the audience and put out the lamps, except for one tiny flame; the light was so faint FATE that we could barely see each other’s faces. Sorqaq’s voice began to chant. First it was his usual weak old man’s voice, then it grew stronger and stronger and seemed to em- anate from different parts of the ig- loo. Then we heard the sound of the drum, muted at first, but it too growing in volume until the igloo reverberated from the banging of the drum, the echoing voice, and the rattling of the sealskin, now over our heads, now beneath our feet. : I do not remember how long this infernal din lasted. I do remember taking hold of Krilerneq’s arm to see if he was helping. Apparently, he was not! All of us joined in Sor- qaq’s song, but Sorqaq’s own voice became fainter after a while, gradu- ally it seemed to come from out- side the igloo, and finally it was gone. Suddenly Krilerneq put on the lights, Sorqaq had disappeared. There was only his drum and the sealskin on the ledge. Senseless as I was from the bedlam around me, I remembered to look behind the draperies. He was definitely gone! I looked around at the audience, and I could hardly recognize the calm quiet friends who had come down to us to trade. Their faces were ecstatic, their cheeks swollen, their eyes bright and unseeing. Naked from the waist up, they
Page 59
s MAGIC AND SOULS OF ESKIMOS 59 swayed back and forth to the rhy- thm of the song. In the middle of the floor, Krilerneq was writhing and twisting like a dancer, driving the men and women into a higher and higher frenzy. One of the men, Krisuk, had a seizure. He stood up howling like a wolf, and people around him had to defend themselves against his attacks. He came at me, but I pushed him aside, and he fell over Ivalu who sat beside me. With one move he tore her pants and kamiks off, but in her frenzy she hardly noticed it. No longer able to con- tain himself, Krisuk dove straight through the wall of the igloo, cre- ating a much-needed breathing hole. But everybody began to shout in a language I didn’t understand. It was not the usual Eskimo language, but they all seemed to understand it. During their seances angakoks are not allowed to mention any ob- jects or being by their regular names, since it could bring disaster upon the ones mentioned. They use other words and paraphrases. But this tongue seemed utterly strange. The song continued and tore me along with it. I lost all sense of time and place. Ivalu lay naked across me, and I could feel others chewing my hair, clawing my skin. Suddenly everything changed. Kri- lerneq stopped his dancing and pro- claimed that Sorqaq was trying to return. He begged everybody to ‘return to their original places and sit there and sing, concentrating our minds on the angakok who was at this very moment fighting his way up through the rock under the ig- loo. He — who had made the jour- ney himself several times —im- pressed upon us what sufferings Sorqaq was undergoing, having to swim through the rock like it was water. Krisuk returned, naked and shiv- ering. He pressed himself down among the perspiring women, who screamed when he touched their hot bodies. Ivalu started calling him by a series of unquotable names, but she was cut off by Krilerneq’s booming voice: “The shadow is ripening! The shadow is ripening!” Tn the seance language, “shadow” is “man”, “ripen” is to “arrive”. We listened for a few moments, and now Sorqaq’s voice was heard faint- ly in the distance. Krilerneq ex- tinguished the light completely, for in order to travel through the rock Sorqaq had had to shed his skin completely, and the one who sees an angakok “muscle-naked” must die. Krilerneq told us that Sorqaq had trouble returning, because some- — body had left the house and re- turned, which made it difficult for him to find it. But presently his voice grew un- til it almost drowned the chant from the audience. Again his drum
Page 60
60 made the igloo tremble, and the crackling sealskin flew through the air. I tried to grasp it, but re- ceived a blow. that almost broke my arm. Hell had broken loose! Then it all stopped. Krilerneq mumbled a long tirade, and the ig- loo became quiet save for the cry- ing of the children. In a droning voice, Krilerneq implored the anga- kok to tell what secrets he had learned in the underworld. Sor- qaq’s voice came from the ledge: “The Great Spirits are embar- rassed by the presence of white men among us and will not reveal the reason for the accidents. Three deaths are still to come. So as to avoid more tragedies, our women must refrain from eating of the fe- male walrus until the winter dark- ness returns!” Those poor women! The taboos were almost always directed against them, because they were considered unclean. But the angakok had done FATE his duty; the performance was over, all the lamps in the igloo were lit. Sorqaq was sitting on the ledge, strapped tightly in his sealskin lines. He was obviously exhausted, per- spiring profusely, and foaming sali- va ran down his chest. I approach- ed, but Krilerneq warned me not to touch him, since the fire of the earth was still in him. Krilerneq un- tied the sealskin lines, and Sorqaq fell into a coma for a few moments. When he opened his eyes, he saw me and tried to smile: “Just lies and tricks. The wisdom of our an- cestors is not in me. Do not be- lieve in any of it!” I wonder! My point of view has always been that there is nothing supernatural, only things for which we so far have no scientific ex- planation. So I just relate what I saw and heard, and I have heard other people— wiser and more sober-minded than I — recount sim- ilar experiences. — OLDEST SKELETON IN THE AMERICAS? ; Caer eee ae dating tests have given as 10,000 years old the age of a human skeleton discovered on the Santa Barbara Channel Islands by Phil C.

It not only won Mrs. Frazer a speedy acquittal but gained her widespread publicity throughout the United States and Canada. 61 ‘A few months before her arrest, Mrs. Fraser had opened the Bonnie Glenn Tea Shop in the basement at 404 Danforth Ave., Toronto, to help a daughter out of financial difficulty. She herself is a widow, depending on her old age pension up to that time. She lives alone in a rented room, reads her Bible re- gularly and says: “There’s not a

62 morning but I don’t pray to God for His help. And then I don’t look for the bad things in the future.” Mrs. Fraser always has been psy- chic, she says. “Ever since I was a child I’ve been peeking into tea cups. It nearly drove my parents crazy when at five I foretold my grandmother’s death.” On another occasion Mrs. Fraser was eating dinner and burst into loud screams because she suddenly “saw” her brother with his arm missing. A few months later the brother was seriously injured in a mine accident. He didn’t actually lose his arm but was unable to use it for several years. And so it was her little Bonnie Glenn Tea Shop with a sign outside and another on the door announc- ing “TEACUP READING” that the Toronto police, in the perfor- mance of their duties, decided to close. Their first step was to send po- licewomen in plain clothes into the tea shop to have their fortunes told. Three policewomen, at vari- ous times, were in the tea shop, had their fortunes told, and then were called to testify at Mrs. Fraser’s trial. One of the witnesses against her, Constable Shirley Reid, also was the arresting officer. But, alas for the law and the Crown’s case against Mrs. Fraser, their testimony brought out the fact that the fortunes Mrs. Fraser had FATE told them were true! They admitted it with half-em- barrassed testimony. And so ob- vious was the truth of what Mts. Fraser had told them that in the end even the prosecution was non- plussed. Finally, J. P. Rickaby, counsel for the Crown, confessed: ‘“Per- haps the Crown has not made out its case.” ‘pease HAS obtained a transcript of testimony in this unusual trial and herewith presents ex- cerpts: The trial begins with the swear- ing in of Constable Shirley Reid, who had gone to the Bonnie Glenn Tea Room in the company of Con- stable Dorothy Ellis about 2:00 P.M. on March 1 after a complaint had been made that fortunes were being told on the premises. Constable Reid testified that the tea room was in the basement of the building and had eight or 10 tables. The two paid $2.00 each and sat there with their tea and biscuits waiting for Mrs. Fraser to finishing talking with a woman at another table. When she was through, Mrs. Fraser asked Miss Reid to join her at the other table. Miss Reid took up her teacup with the grounds of the tea leaves still in it, and ac- companied Mrs. Fraser to the table.

TORONTO'S FIGHTING FORTUNE TELLER 63 J. P. Rickaby, counsel for the Crown, questioned Constable Reid: Q. All right, what happened? A. Well, Madame Fraser started to tell me a few things from the past, from this teacup, and then she put the cup aside and started using cards. Q. All right, now, how about the things from the past — what did she tell you? A. Nothing very much — that I was from a family of three. Q. She said you were from a family of three? A. Yes. Q. Were you? A. Yes. Q. Go ahead, please. A. There wasn’t too much else I remember, actually, That was im- portant, so I remember. Q. I see, now, those were just concerning events of the past? A. Yes. ’ Q. Now, what about the cards? What did she do with these cards, first of all? A. Well, I had to — she gave the cards to me and I shuffled them and separated them into three, then I had to pick cards out of them and give them to her, and then she turned the cards over and told me what she saw in the cards. Q. All right, what do you mean, “told you what she saw”? What did she see? A. Well, one of the things she pointed out was that I was getting married in the near future, and that she could see a “2” — mean- ing the second month, which would be April and that the wedding date had a “2” in it, and then she also told me that within the next few days, my wedding date was going to be changed, either ahead or back, due to a person that was going to be ill, but not seriously ill. She said that my future husband travelled abroad frequently - and that we made sudden mistakes. Q. By the way, before we go on, are you married? A. No, I’m not. Q. Are you getting married? Are you engaged? A. Yes, I am — she was very good. Q. And when is the wedding? A. April. Q. Really? — Well, there’s noth- ing fraudulent so far — go ahead, what else — has a date ‘been set? . Yes, it has. When is it? . April the 28th. . Is it still set for the 28th? Yes. . All right, go on, what else did she tell you? A. She said that my future hus- band was going to ask me to quit work shortly after we were married, but I was intending to stay on for approximately two years, at which time I would have to quit because O>roror>
Page 64
64 I would be having twin boys. (The rest of Constable Reid’s testimony also refers to future events for which there can as yet be no verification, except for one item, in which Mrs. Fraser correct- ly stated that Constable Reid’s fiance was somewhat older than she.) Mrs. Fraser’s attorney, W. K. Robinson, then cross-examined Constable Reid in an attempt to bring out some testimony that the $2.00 she had paid was really for tea and biscuits and not for for- tune telling. This approach proved to be irrelevant, however, and the testimony will not be repeated here. Mr. Robinson continued with his cross-examination: Q. And everything about it (the fortune Mrs. Fraser told) seemed to be pretty clear, pretty true, is that it? A. Yes, sir. Q. Tell me, Miss Reid — were you, in any way, deceived by Mrs. Fraser? A. Deceived? Q. Yes. A. No, I don’t think so. Q. You weren’t at any time? You attended twice, I understand. A. Yes, sir. Q. You weren’t deceived the first time? A. No. Q. Were you deceived the second time? FATE A. No, I don’t think so — no. Constable Dorothy Ellis next took the stand and was questioned by Mr. Rickaby, counsel for the crown. Q. What did she tell you from the tea-cup? A. She told me from the tea-cup that there were four in my family, and that they were separated now, and that one member of my family had seen a bad accident some months ago. Q. And is this true? Are there four in your family? A. Well, there are four children. We're all scattered all over. Q. And the accident? A. Well, my mother did see an accident. She wasn’t involved in any, she just saw one, two months before. Q. How about the cards, is it the same procedure, as far as the pre- liminary? A. Yes, it was the very same. Q. What did she tell you that re- vealed itself in the cards? A, She said that my mother was very nervous and not very well, but she would soon be better and that I would soon hear of a lady that was going to have an opera- tion on her lung, but not to worry — it wasn’t cancer, and it would just be a small operation. She said that there was an empty chair in our family, but that sometime in the near future that chair would be
Page 65
= TORONTO’S FIGHTING FORTUNE TELLER 65 filled again, and she said that I would be married by the end of the year to a man who I had just met in the last two or three months and that I would have two children — a daughter and a son, and that I would be going across an ocean, and it looked like I would be going to Australia. And she said I wasn’t very happy with my job, but not to worry, I’d be getting more money shortly. Q. And what can you tell the court about the truth or probable truth of some of these statements —as to your future course of con- duct or what might happen? A. Well, I don’t know, I haven’t met a man in the last few months that ?m — Q. You’re not engaged or any- thing? A. No, I’m not engaged. Q. Are you happy in your job? A. Yes. Q. And then what happened? A. Well, when I was finished with my reading, Miss Reid and myself got in our coats and we left. Mr. Robinson then cross-exam- ined Miss Ellis: Q. Some of the things that you were told seemed to be quite true, would that be in the realm of prob- ability and possibility. A. Yes. Q. Tell me — were you deceived by Mrs. Fraser at any time, in any way? A. Deceived in which way? Q. Just deceived by her—did she deceive you in anything she said or anything she did? A. No, she didn’t deceive us. No, we went there to have our fortune told. She told our fortune. Q. Well, you weren’t fooled in any way by anything she said? A. No. The third witness to be called was Constable Kay Burford. She was first questioned by Mr. Rick- aby. Q. Did she tell you anything about your tea-cup? A. Things from the past, from the tea-cup. Q. All right and what did she tell you about the past? A. That there had been a death in my family within the last three years and another death within the last five years or six years, and she said that I came from a small fam- ily, maybe six including my mother and father. Q. That was approximately it? AS YES: Q. And had there been a death in the family in the past few years? A. Yes. Q. How big a family do you come from? A. In my immediate family there has not been a death in the last three years — like I mean in my own family but a very close rel- ative.
Page 66
66 Q. How big a family do you come from? A. Mother and father and there are four children spel ae: myself. Q. Six? A. Six. Q. All right, and did you have your cards read? A. Yes, I did. Q. Let’s hear it? A. (Here Constable Burford re- lated future predictions which can- not be verified.) Q. And what that? A. That’s about all she told me. She told my fortune and then just as she was finished, Policewoman Reid entered the premises and iden- tified herself to both of us. In. the cross-examination, Robinson asked: Q. Did you believe what you were told? happened after Mr. A. No. : Q. No — you weren’t deceived by it all, by Mrs. Fraser? A. No. Q. At any time? A. No. Q. Did she tell you anything at all that would be considered as de- ception that you believed? A. No. Q. You weren’t deceived by her in any way? A. No. After Constable Burford was dis- missed from the stand the attor- FATE neys began their arguments. Mr. Robinson had attempted to estab- lish that the $2.00 the witnesses had paid was really for tea and biscuits and not for fortune telling. Magistrate Rogers would not accept this argument. “I think they paid money for tea and biscuits and the fortune-telling, but I think the important part in the case is the question of, — ‘anyone who fraudulently undertakes’ — that’s the only real argument in the case.” MR. ROBINSON: Well then, Your Worship, dealing with that — the section of the Criminal Code specifically states that, ‘Every one who fraudulently undertakes, for a consideration, to tell fortunes’ — And my submission is that the onus is on the Crown to prove, be- yond a reasonable doubt, that there was something fraudulently done here by the accused . . . And all three of these people said they were not deceived in any way, at any time. And in the absence of this and also in the absence of any complainants who maintain that they were defrauded in any respect, the case has not been proved by the Crown, and therefore I sub- mit, it should be dismissed. THE COURT: All right, thank you, MR. RICKABY: ... . I have often thought about this section myself and I don’t think it would
Page 67
TORONTO’S FIGHTING FORTUNE TELLER 67 be true to say that if the fortune were found out to be a fairly ac- curate one, that that would take it out of the realm of the word ‘fraudulent.’ I don’t think that that is too important in the interpreta- tion of the word, At least as far as one of the witnesses is concerned, the fortune seemed to be all true or appears to be about to come true. “The accused interpreted the past of our three witnesses — I think fairly accurately, so I think that the word ‘fraudulent’? would have to apply to the circumstances sutrounding the telling of this for- tune, and I must confess, myself, that since none of these police- women were deceived, I just don’t understand the significance of this word when applied to the section. “Tf fortune-telling itself were to be an oifense, I don’t think that word would have been in there. If fortune-telling alone were to be an offense, then anybody who told anybody’s fortune for a considera- tion would be guilty of the offense. But it (the law) is not just plain | fortune-telling, it’s fraudulently telling a fortune, and I don’t know what interpretation Your Worship has on that .. . perhaps the Crown has not made out its case.” THE COURT: Well, I must confess too that I don’t understand what the meaning of fraudulent would be when it comes to telling a fortune . . . Presumably the leg- islature had in mind some sinister meaning in the acts when they in- cluded that word, but I think it’s an integral part of the charge, and in this case, I don’t think the inten- tion was to cause any deceit or harm to the persons concerned and I will dismiss the charge ... But as a matter of interest, I wondered whether the accused woman was able to predict the outcome of this case.” MRS. FRAZER: I knew it would turn out all right, Your Worship.

On March 6, 1962, he sold the beach house to a Manhattan man for $39,000.

MYSTERY BLAST over NEVADA T LIGHTED the skies. It shook the earth. And it evidently shook the Air Force Defense Com- mand as well, Witnesses described the thing - that exploded over Nevada about 7:30 P.M, April 18, 1962, as a _ sort of flaming sword that came to a cataclysmic end with a flash so brilliant that it resembled an atomic explosion — and a roar that jarred the earth for miles around. Such things had happened before _ in recent years, and almost with- out exception they have been dis- _ missed with the official explanation By on Codihs that they were nothing more than meteorites, celestial vagabonds burning up from friction with the earth’s atmosphere. But this was different. The Las Vegas Sun immediately went to work checking out the meteorite prospects and the Sun re- porter got a surprising reply from the official spokesman at Nellis Air Force Base: “There’s only one thing wrong with that—a meteor cannot be tracked on radar and this thing was!” Which brings us to the next logi- 68
Page 69
cal step in the analysis of this fasci- nating incident: How much radar tracking had been done before the mighty blast over Nevada? Headquarters for the North American Air Defense Command is at Colorado Springs, Colo.; the nerve center for aerial protection of this continent. The spokesman there on the night of April 18, 1962, was Lt. Col. Herbert Rolph, who disclosed that the Air Defense Command had been alerted by ‘the 69 What appears to be a pecr-shaped UFO was snapped over Kakvlui Harbor: in Maui, Hawaii, by a newspaper reporter at about 5:30. P.M. on March 9, 1962, Reporter ‘was taking photos of vessels crowded in harbor, did not see apparent- ly” swift-moving UFO which showed up on developed: print. fire trail of this strange object (one report came from New York). The warning had been flashed to radar and jet pursuit bases (including Nellis Air Force Base) and jets had been scrambled from Phoenix to intercept, if possible, this alarming aerial intruder. In effect, this statement from the Air Defense Command further emphasized the conclusion that the object was not a meteor. The Air Defense Command does not send
Page 70
70 up jets to intercept meteors. Reports came tumbling in from many states as the glowing object sped westward: First from New York, as the ADC revealed. Later from Gridley, Kans.; Utah, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona. and California. In Nephi, Utah, about 90 miles south of Salt Lake City, witnesses said the object appeared to pass directly over their community in a horizontal course from east to west. Rumbling sounds, as of distant ex- plosions, were heard by many. If the jets reached the path of the on- coming object they were not seen by any of the witnesses, which may have been due to the lateness of the hour or to the altitude of the jets, if they were able to reach their target. The object, whatever it was, evi- dently exploded with a thunderous and blindingly brilliant blast over the Mesquite area, 70 miles north- west of Las Vegas, Nev., the point at which the Air Defense Com- mand says the object vanished from it’s radar screens. At the time of the flash, the streets of Reno were momentarily illuminated as by a giant flash bulb, although Reno was presumably more than a hundred miles from the estimated point of the blast. The flash was also reported by witnesses in Cali- fornia, some of whom regarded it aS an unannounced renewal of nu- FATE clear testing in Nevada, But there are no nuclear atmospheric tests under way anywhere on the North American continent, says the Atomic Energy Commission. But still another strange aspect of this case was yet to come to light — when hours after the mys- tery explosion United Press Inter- national notified it’s subscribers that some sort of huge object of unknown identity had landed at Eureka, Utah. The newsmen promptly renewed their questioning of the Air Force spokesmen and were finally told by the Public In- formation Officer at Stead Air Force Base in Reno that the report of the landing was correct. The nature of the object was not speci- fied by the spokesman at Stead but he did admit that the landing had taken place and that the power station had been put out of action by the “impact” of the thing . . and that news of the incident had been suppressed until the power station was restored to service. The surprising candor of the Air Force spokesmen in this case is noteworthy, especially if this pres- ages similar frankness with the public in future incidents. Here is a case where an unidentified Flying Object crossed most of the conti- nental United States and was tracked by jets and radar under direction of an alert from the Air Defense Command.
Page 71
MYSTERY BLAST OVER NEVADA 71 Las Vegas Sun of April 19, 1962, described how city was brilliantly lighted by strange blast 70 miles away. During the time of it’s pursuit, something landed near an electric power station and knocked that station out of service for a con- siderable period of time. The object being tracked and pursued vanished in a brilliant flash accompanied by a heavy explosion. Two questions remain: What was the object? Was it destroyed in flight by a a missile armed with a nuclear war- head? fen peo: INCE THERE is a general im- pression that UFO sightings have declined, Fatr’s editors have gathered together a few unusual sightings from the first months of 1962 to show they are still going on. As a matter of fact, UFO sightings have not declined in any appreci- able degree and the Air Force fact sheet, reported elsewhere in this issue, states: “Anyone witnessing an unidentified flying object should report it to the nearest military base as soon as possible.” This is just what Ernest J. Downing of the Downing Fruit Farm, New Madison, Ohio, did last January. He wrote the following report to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and sent FATE a copy. On January 3, between 6:09 and 6:10 P.M., Mr. Downing sighted a
Page 72
72 UFO W. N. W. of him about 10 degrees to 15 degrees above the hori- zon on a straight line W. S. W. course. He saw it.for only three seconds and apparently it was moving fast. The object was round, with an overall diameter slightly less that the full moon when first seen but it diminished rapidly to only a fourth of its original size at the time of its disappearance—though even then it was still several times larger than Venus at conjunction. Color was predominantly green with a bright moon-like nucleus surrounded by a green halo with a slightly fuzzy edge while the nu- cleus was more sharply defined and represented about 25% of the total diameter of the object. There was no trail, the trailing edge ap- peared slightly blurred and slightly persistent, as in an extremely fast- moving object. It cast little illumi- nation on sky or landscape. There was no burning or appearance of combustion, no explosion, no noise. “Tt was radically different from any meteor I have ever observed except in speed,” Mr. Downing says. * OK Ok Late in January, at Park Rapids, Minn., some aerial object burned, melted or drilled an oval, cone- shaped hole about two feet in di- ameter through two foot-thick ice on Eagle Lake. FATE Charles Jude, who lives near Eagle Lake, reported that a “wall- rattling concussion, preceded by a hissing noise, and then a kind of muffled detonation” tumbled him from his bed around 11:30 P.M. on January 28. Jude was afraid his chimney had fallen down and ran outside in his bare feet in time to hear what he later felt might have been an un- derwater explosion. Sheriff R. J. Potter and Deputy Frank Town examined the hole in the ice and concluded that it could not have been made by a fisher- man’s chisel. They said the walls of the hole were very smooth and there were no tracks in the fresh snow. ha eek Al Hubbard and his wife Penny operate the Zeno mine a few miles from Cleator, Ariz. Around 11:30 P.M. one night early in February they looked out of their bedroom window and saw two rings of color like glowing embers hovering close to the ground. A vivid cobalt blue tubular light was suspended be- tween the rings. A cascade of pul- sating flames followed the object. The blue central area was so bright it illuminated the entire countryside and lighted up their bedroom. Al ran to the door to get a better look but by that time it was gone. Later the Hubbards heard two
Page 73
MYSTERY BLAST OVER NEVADA 73 blasts. The noise led them to con- clude that the object had exploded — one blast for each ring of color. They set out to find the pieces next day but only found more des- ert. Leo Blackburn an employee at the mine, also heard the explosions. * OK Also early in February, long ob- jects “shaped like fat exclamation points and traveling wide end first” were seen by at least six per- sons in southwestern Missouri. They were bright orange or gold in color with the nose the brightest part. The sightings were between 5:20 P.M. and 6:00 P.M., suggest- ing that the objects were illuminated by the setting sun. If they were skyhook or other large balloons, however, there is a question as to why they would be proceeding horizontally. * Ok O* An object described as a “big silver ring” was seen by several persons to cross Huntsville, Ala., at high speed. One driver approach- ing Huntsville on U. S. Route 72 said he watched the UFO cross the sky from a point approximately above the northern side of Monte Sano to a point well south of the mountain. * * Several residents in the vicinity of Akron saw a strange object that at first seemed to be a bright star near sunset on March 27. One resident examined it through a 120- power telescope but found that he couldn’t focus it down to a small point as a star or planet does. Nevertheless, he said “it was much larger and seemed to be much closer. It looked like pictures I’ve seen of space stations. It did not move.” When the sun set the ob- ject disappeared as though it had been reflecting the sunlight. The object wasn’t Venus because the observer saw Venus later in the west. * Ok ok Hubert Howe, a truck driver of Fredericton, New Brunswick, was driving along a muddy road with a load of lumber on Wednesday, April 4 when he noticed a bright glare coming from underneath his truck. He got out of the cab and saw “a piece of fire” stuck between the cab and the body of the truck. When he threw mud at the fire it fell off in blobs, almost like jelly. Three fellow-workers agreed with Mr. Howe that the object appeared to be a big blue ball of fire. They described the light it gave off as similar to that of an electric arc welder. About the same time as this strange incident, bright falling lights were seen over Canadian skies in Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and over New Brunswick. One witness, Mark Sauerbrei, Ontario
Page 74
74 Department of Lands and Forests Fire Protection Supervisor, de- scribed what he saw at 10:30 P.M. on April 5. It was larger than a me- teorite, with a bright, intense, yel- low glare: “Tt increased in intensity, coming down until it got within 35 degrees above the horizon, then the light started to waver. By that time the light had reached its climax and it disappeared.” The sighting lasted only a few minutes. gp Se SE Five teen-agers of Modesta, Calif., were parked near a canal bank on Ustick Road at 2 A.M. on April 13. They watched a strange glow of light in the sky two to five miles away. It was perhaps 500 feet high but descended slowly, getting brighter, then fading as it neared the ground. They started to get out of the car but found that something was FATE affecting them physically, causing a numbness over their bodies. For a time they could hardly move. When they were able to leave they called the sheriff’s office. Deputy Ron Hackett interviewed them, said they were visibly frightened. eer et Meteorites, fireballs, bolides or what have you also were cluttering up the skies. Dr. Lincoln LaPaz, head of the University of New Mex- ico Meteorites Institute, reported that one of the largest meteorite showers of the century hit some- where in north central New Mex- ico on April 1. LaPaz said that evidence suggested a single large stony-type meteorite had exploded, showering red-orange and blue fragments over the sparsely popu- lated mountain country. Other brilliant fireballs lighted skies over California, Tennessee, Alabama, and Utah. — Se ONE NAME FOR TWO MEN CHARGE-A-PLATE, found in a Columbus, Ohio, theater by Daniel Joseph Casey, was returned to its owner—another man named Daniel Joseph Casey. —— THE SHARED KNIFE N AN OUTDOORS fight following an argument at a party in the Bronx, N.Y., Caesar Zarnbrana, 33, pulled a knife and stabbed Carlos Irrazarry, 26, Irrazarry wrested the weapon from Zarnbrana and stabbed back.

iia ce oO i MO ‘\ CFI_- OL, Ainport Three times the plane trip was delayed. But how could the Professor predict this correcily each time? — by a Mortimer Sheppard MPATIENTLY, the passengers going to Marseille, Abiyan and Bamako moved towards the Super- Constellation that awaited them, its engines turning over, ready to take off. It was 11:00 o’clock at night at the Orly Airport of Paris, France. The plane was two hours behind schedule and the pilots and the passengers, were anxious to be air- borne. Following the passengers towards the big plane, but walking slowly, was a man in a white shirt, a white hat and a raincoat under his arm. Beside him walked a little boy, three years old, and a young woman who was the man’s wife and the boy’s mother. The stewardess of the plane re- quested this man to kindly hurry as the plane wished to leave im- mediately. The man answered her: “Why hurry, Mademoiselle? This 75 plane will not reach Marseille to- night and we are going beyond there.” The stewardess smiled and again admonished the little family group to get aboard quickly. Then she showed them to their seats. The plane taxied down field, turned, paused with the engines roaring, and then made its run and took to the air. The stewardess came to the man’s seat and remarked, “What- ever made you say that we would not even get as far as Marseille to- night? As you observe we are on our way and already approaching Lyon.” “Wait and see,” the man an- swered her somewhat abruptly and he had scarcely spoken before the light flashed, calling the stewardess to the front of the plane where the pilots sat. A moment later the stewardess announced over the loud
Page 76
76 speaker that, while there was no danger whatever, the plane was re- turning to Paris due to a technical difficulty with the engines. The plane landed at Orly,. the passengers were informed that the take-off would be at 7:30 P.M. the following day, and as the man passed the stewardess on his way out of the plane, he gave her a quick smile and remarked, “Well, I told you so, didn’t I?” This man was Jean Claude Cuis- seau, 40 years of age, a Professor of Physical Culture at Mali, who, in the company of his wife and child was booked for a through flight to Bamaco. In the bus that returned the passengers to Paris from Orly, two of the passengers who had overheard the brief ex- change between the man and the stewardess, commented on it and conversation became general. “Just a hunch,” one of them said. “Wishful thinking,” another re- marked, “the gentleman wants to stay in Paris an extra day.” M. Cuisseau said nothing. His young wife returned angry glances at those who had made comments. The 30 passengers were quarter- ed in a good hotel at the plane company’s expense, and after an early dinner the following evening, the bus called for them, returning to Orly for the promised take-off. The stewardess, who was also in the bus assured the passengers that the FATE plane was now in perfect condition and there would be no further de- lay. When she had concluded her little speech, M. Cuisseau. spoke up. “This time,” he said, “we won’t even get off the ground.” He was greeted with angry stares from the hostess and passengers. There were some rude remarks but M. Cuisseau made no reply to these and upon arrival at the airport the passengers were hustled out to the waiting plane. Again M. Cuisseau and his wife and child walked too slowly and were urged to hurry. On the plane the man refused to secure his safety belt and the stew- ardess, quite put out with him, argued vehemently. The plane taxied down the field, turned, then taxied back to the air- port depot. The engines were shut off and the chief pilot came back to inform the passengers that he had observed that the electrical sys- tem of the plane was not function- ing properly and that the flight would not leave until the next morn- ing. People now looked at M. Cuis- seau with a mixture of hostility and admiration. Once again aboard the bus that would return them to Paris for another night they crowded about the Professor insisting that he tell them how he knew that both flights would be unsuccessful. They plied him with questions about him- self and he smilingly obliged.

DIVINER OF ORLY AIRPORT “T am a former football player (soccer),” he said, “and I have the ‘black belt’ in Judo. During the war in Indochina,” he continued, “I was with our forces there, and severely wounded. While conva- lescing I became friendly with cer- tain native Buddhist priests who then took me to one of their temples as their guest, and, seeing that I was deeply interested, they initiated me into the practices of their par- ticular branch of Buddhism, They soon told me that I had a receptive mind and they introduced me to divination, explaining and working with me. My recovery, owing to the seriousness of my wound, was slow and I had ample time to as- similate the tenets of their religion, much of which I adopted as soon as I understood it. By the time I was well I knew that I possessed, to a remarkable degree, the perceptive qualities of which you have had an example. While you will hardly grasp this, I will state that I re- ceive waves sent not only by hu- mans, but things and situations. And while I am on the subject I will tell you to sleep well for you will all reach your destinations safely, although not quite as soon as you expect.” On the following morning the passengers assembled in the hotel lobby, their bags again packed, once more ready for the bus to take | them to Orly. M. Cuisseau came in 77 from the dining room, a glass of orange juice in his hand. “You are not ready to leave?” he was asked. “No,” the Professor replied, “my wife will not repack our bags until this afternoon.” While M. Cuisseau was speaking an agent of the air line arrived to inform the passengers that there was, unfortunately, another delay in their departure, but that the plane would surely take off late that same afternoon. Some one informed the Paris press and newspaper men flocked to the hotel. M. Cuisseau gave them an interview and they went away shaking their heads, but convinced that the Professor “had something” and their stories in the afternoon editions, were respectful, somewhat vague, but on the whole, compli- mentary. Late that afternoon the passen- gers were advised that the bus would call for them shortly. This time M. Cuisseau and his little family ap- peared in the lobby with their bags packed and they were among the first to board the plane upon arrival at Orly. The stewardess watched the Cuisseaus fasten their safety belts. Humbly she approached the Professor but, before she could ask the question that was so obviously on her mind, he spoke to her in a friendly manner. “It’s all right this time, we will have a good flight.” And so they did.

EVITATED TABLES and ac- cordions that played without human hands proved to be mere warming-up exercises in the great series of 78 seances conducted in England during 1867 to 1869 by Daniel Dunglas Home. Before the series was completed Home was to astound his two titled English sponsors, Lord Adare and the Earl of Dunraven, by such ma- jor feats as flying in and out of third story windows. All of the following accounts are quoted directly from a complete photographic copy of the rare vol- ume LExperierces in Spiritualism with Mr. D. D. Home which was 78 by Paul TFoght PART TWO printed privately by the English noblemen and distributed only to those directly participating in the seances. Viscount Adare is the prin- cipal author of these first-person reports. The apparent accuracy of the reporting was discussed in the first article based on these reports, in the June, 1962, Fate. Hc BEGAN to produce ma- jor physical phenomena dur- ing the sixth seance, an event which took place in December, 1867. Here is Lord Adare’s report: “Home stood up and said, ‘He is very strong and tall.’ “Standing there beside me Home
Page 79
grew, I should say, at least six inches. : “Mr. Jencken, who is a taller man than Home, stood beside him, so there could be no mistake about it. Home’s natural height is 5 feet 10 inches. I should say he grew to 6 feet 4 inches or 6 feet 6 inches. “He had slippers on, and he said, ‘Daniel will show you how it is,’ and he unbuttoned his coat. He was elongated from his waist up- ward. There was a space of four inches between his waistcoat and the waistband of his trousers. He appeared to grow also in breadth and size all over, but there was no way to testing that.” At a seance on April 10, 1869, Home’s elongation was measured very carefully. Here is the pro- cedure as described by Lord Adare: “He (Home) then placed him- self against the wall, and extended his arms to their full natural length. I made a pencil mark at the tips of his fingers. His left arm was then elongated as I held the pencil against the wall where it could be pushed along by his fingers. “His right arm was then elongat- ed, and I marked the movement in the same manner. The total elonga- tion as ascertained by this means amounted to 914 inches.” In July, 1868, Home proved that he could not only elongate his own body, but the bodies of others also. Lord Adare reported as follows: 79 “Home was elongated to the ex- tent of six inches four times. He walked about, stamped and shuffled his feet to show that he was stand- ing fairly upon them. He went round to Mr. Holt, one of the gentlemen present, and made him place his hand upon his waist that he might feel how he became elong- ate and contracted. “Mr. Holt said that he held his hand flat against Home’s side; that the lower edge of his hand was rest- ing on his hip bone; that he felt Home’s lower rib pass under his hand until it was some inches above it. On contraction, he felt the low- er rib come down until it pressed against the upper edge of his hand and moved into its proper position. “Home then said that the young lady (one of the witnesses) had also been elongated, and would be again. She was then standing near the table in a trance, and began sway- ing from side to side. She was palp- ably elongated to the extent of per- haps three inches.” The table-moving phenomena which were described in detail in the preceding article on D. D. Home, were of great interest to the Earl of Dunraven. The Earl had observed Michael Faraday’s famous experiment which shattered the pop- ularity of table-turning seances by showing that the participants them- selves turned the tables. Or at least they did when being studied by
Page 80
80 Faraday. The Earl was a critic of Faraday’s method, observations and conclusions. The Earl was not present to wit- ness the rapid-fire furniture shuffle described in the following para- graph, but it is not hard to imagine his excitement at reading this ex- cerpt from Lord Adare’s report of Home’s 10th seance. “Tn answer to some question, the table was tilted three times in the four opposite directions, and was then lifted three times in the air. Home’s chair was once drawn away from the table and raised off the floor. His chair was also turned completely around, his feet during the whole time being off the ground. An arm chair moved of itself a dis- tance of about a yard up against the back of my chair.” During the late fall of 1868 Home’s young godson, Dannie Cox, died. After the death of this child, Home’s phenomena became increas- ingly astonishing. In November Home began literally to play with fire and Lord Adare reported: “He went to the fire, poked up the coals and putting_his hand in, drew out a hot burning ember about twice the size of an orange. This he carried about the room as if to show it to the spirits, and then brought it to us. We all examined it. “He then put it back in the fire and showed us his hands. They FATE were not in the least blackened or scorched. Having apparently spok- en to some spirit, he went back to the fire, and with his hand stirred some embers into a flame. Then, kneeling down, he placed his face right among the burning coals, moving it about as through bathing it in water. Then, getting up, he held his finger for some time in the flame of the candle. “Presently he took the same lump of coal he had previously handled and came over to us, blowing upon it to make it brighter. He then walked slowly-round the table and said, ‘I want to see which of you will be the best subject. Ah! Adare will be the easiest, because he has not been most with Don.’ “Mr. Jencken held out his hand, saying, ‘Put it in mine.’ “Home said, ‘No, no! Touch it and see!’ “Mr. Jencken touched it with the tip of his finger and burnt himself. Home then held it within four or five inches of Mr. Saal’s and Mr. Hurt’s hands and they could not endure the heat. “Home came to me and said, ‘Now, if you are not afraid, hold out your hand.’ “T did so, and having nade two rapid passes over my hand he plac- ed the coal in it. I must have held it for half a minute, long enough to have burned my hand fearfully, but the coal felt scarcely warm.”
Page 81
SEANCE WITH D. D. HOME One month after the fire-handling demonstration, Home gave Lord Lindsay and Lord Adare the most dramatic liquor-handling, or temp- erance, lecture of all time. Adare described it as follows: “We saw him pour about half a large wine glass of brandy. He brought the glass back with him. Then partially covering himself with the window curtains, but holding the glass above his head between us and the window so we could see it, he was lifted off the floor about four or five feet. “While in the air, we saw a bright light in the glass. Presently he came down and showed us that the glass was empty by turning it upside down. He also came to us and turned it upside down upon our hands. “Then going back to the window, he held the glass up and we heard the liquid drop into it. “He began talking about the brandy and said, ‘It is under cer- tain circumstances a demon, and real devil; but if properly used it is most beneficial.’ As he said this the light became visible in the glass, and he was raised in the air. “<But,’ he said, ‘If improperly used, it becomes so (the light dis- appeared) and drags you down, down, lower and lower.’ “And as he spoke he sank grad- ually down till he touched the floor with the glass. He again raised the 81 glass above his head and the liquor was withdrawn. “He then told me to come and hold my hand above the glass. I did so and the liquor fell over and through my fingers into the glass, dropping from the air above me. “T sat down and asked him where on earth the liquor went to. “ ‘Oh, he said, ‘the spirit that is making the experiment is obliged to form a material substance to retain the fluid. He might drink it, or hold it in his mouth; in this case he held it in his hand.’ ” Later in December, 1868, Home performed one of his most aston- ishing feats. The witnesses on this occasion were Capt. Charles Wynne, Lord Lindsay, and Lord Adare. Once again, Viscount Adare is the reporter: “Home got up and walked about the room. He was both elongated and raised in the air. He spoke in a whisper, as though the spirits were arranging something. He then said to us, ‘Do not be afraid, and on no account leave your places.’ “We heard Home go into the next room, heard the window thrown up, and presently Home appeared standing upright outside our win- dow. He opened the window and walked in quite cooly. “«Ah, he said, ‘you were good this time,’*referring to our having sat still and not attempting to stop him. He then sat down laughing.
Page 82
82 “When we asked why he laughed, he said, ‘From thinking that if a policeman had been passing, and had looked up and seen a man turn- ing round and round along the wall in the air he would have been much astonished, Adare, shut the window in the next room.’ “T got up, shut the window, and in coming back remarked that the window had not been raised a foot, and that I could not see how he had managed to squeeze through. Home arose and said, ‘Come and see.’ “T went with him. He told me to open the window as it was before. I did so and he told me to stand a little distance off. He then went through the open space, head first and quite rapidly. His body was nearly horizontal and apparently rigid. He came in again, feet fore- most, and we returned to the other room. “Tt was so dark I could not see clearly how he was supported out- side. He did not appear to grasp, or rest upon the balustrade, but rather to be swung out and in. “Outside each window is a small balcony or ledge, 19 inches deep, bounded by stone balustrades, 18 inches high. The balustrades of the two windows are seven feet four inches apart. A string-course, four inches wide, runs between the win- dows at the level of the bottom of the balustrade, and another three FATE inches wide at the level of the top. Between the window at which Home went out, and that at which he came in, the wall recedes six inches. “The rooms are on the third floor.” A little arithmetic regarding the number of times Home produced certain phenomena during the 78 seances reveals that Home was a wellspring of astounding events. During the 78 seances Home caused miscellaneous objects to move by themselves 25 times, he lifted a piano off the floor twice, raised a table in the air 13 times, and once made a pencil write by itself. Home performed the fire test three times, levitated himself seven times, and elongated himself 10 times. On three occasions his head or hands became luminous and 11 ‘times he produced visible lights. At 10 seances flowers were brought through the air and given to persons, at two seances an ac- cordion played without anyone touching it, and twice the instru- ment was held in the air without support from human hands. In all, Lord Adare’s book lists 50 witnesses to these phenomena, and he states that all witnesses examin- ed the reports and agreed that the accounts were accurate. It is no wonder that Daniel Dunglas Home has been called one of the most amazing men of all time.

oe Ai i al @ OUR CHILD’S Can children read minds more easily than adults? You can find the answer yourself with the test materials furnished here. By 2, a Modiickson (Cae A CHILD read your mind? You can have a lot of fun find- ing the answer to this question. New-found evidence of ESP abil- ities in children has confronted re- searchers with many prospects of exciting significance. If children do have more significant ESP abilities than adults it may indicate that ESP is a response that is unlearned as we become more sophisticated; it may also suggest that adults should adopt absolute honesty in dealing with children — you can’t kid the kids with ESP. Evidence of children’s ESP pow- ers has been collected in The Neth- erlands by a young woman research- er, Nicky Louwrens, under the di- rection of Dr. W. H. C. Tenhaeff, director of Utrecht’s Parapsycho- logy Institute. Miss Louwrens con- ducted a modified Zener card ESP - test with 1,188 Dutch school child- 83 ren and their teachers. The evidence indicates that young children in the four-to-six-year-old age group can read grownups’ minds to an astonishing extent. Scores in runs of 25 guesses ran as high as 15 hits, or 60% correct. Pure chance would produce a score of only 20% correct. The Parapsychology Institute’s classroom tests were conducted under rigid scientific controls that cannot be duplicated in this test, but everyone will enjoy it and valid facts can be developed from the findings. With this article, Farr is supply- > Card faces on following pages may be cut out and mounted on cardboard. They con- sist of two sets of five, one for adult and one for child being tested.

84 ing you with the ESP cards and in- structions for their use. All you have to supply is the child. It may be your child, a grandchild, a neighbor, a student if you are a teacher, or a relative stranger. You may find it interest- ing to run tests both with children who know you, and with children to whom you are a stranger. The illustrations published with this article will make two five-card sets of modified Zener cards. These illustrations have been selected be- cause they will be far more easily recognized by the four-to-six year- old than the conventional wavy lines, etc. of the Zener card pack. Paste these illustrations onto cardboard, then cut them apart with a scissors. You will have two com- plete five-card sets. This should be enough even though standard ESP decks contain 25 cards (five cards of each of 5 symbols). The test is easy to give. Take one set of cards and give the other to the child to be tested. You and the child should be separated, pos- sibly sitting in separate rooms, but at least at opposite ends of the same table. Screen yourself from the child. If you are in separate rooms, close the connecting door, If you are at opposite ends of the same table, pile books or boxes be- tween the two of you as a screen. Now concentrate on one of the cards. FATE You must now give the child a sound signal that you are concen- trating on one of the designs. This sound signal may be ringing a bell or snapping your fingers; it should not be given conversationally. The child’s five cards are spread face-up in front of him. When you give the signal that you are con- centrating he will take a careful look at his cards and guess out loud which one you are thinking about. If the child is right, mark one hit. Repeat this entire procedure five times. Five repeats are a run. The entire experiment can be re- peated until the child loses inter- est, probably after five to 10 runs. For each child tested, record the number of hits and the number of runs. The laws of statistics say that your child will guess right once in a run of five choices, because there are five pictures to pick from. If your child picks correctly more than 20 per cent of the pictures in a series of runs, you can suspect that he has ESP abilities. Conduct sev- eral tests in order to check your conclusions. The form published with this article is just a sample and provides space for reporting the results with one child. If you need additional space it can easily be copied as many times as needed.

“THERE IS NO DEATH” By Mary Neil Hart Y HUSBAND’S mother and I had a secret understanding that whoever died first should, if possi- ble, contact the survivor. It was a bond that drew us closer together during the 10 years she lived with us. All our friends called her Mother Hart. I doubt if they knew her Christian name. We moved from New Jersey to Connecticut shortly after Mother Hart died, to the outskirts of New Britain, to a bungalow. The bed- rooms were on the north side of the house and the living quarters, separated by a hall, were on the south. One finished room in the attic housed Margaret, our Irish maid. I occupied a room in the back, overlooking the garden. My husband’s business was in New York so he was home only on weekends. Dorothy, our older child, was a boarding student at a convent. This left my small daughter, Thelma, Margaret and me alone during the week. At this particular time Thelma was away visiting. It was a windy, blustery night, I remember, and I had gone to bed early. I was awakened out of a sound sleep by a loud rapping. Sit- FATE will pay $5 for each story published in this department. Stories should deal with an actual experience proving spirit survival.

I heard nothing more and decided one of the blinds must be banging in the wind. Thus reassured, I composed myself for sleep again. I was just drowsing off when three distinct loud raps sounded. After an interval the three raps came again. I sat up, the back of my neck prickling. I strained my eyes into the darkness. I saw nothing. I sat waiting—too frightened to get up. I heard nothing more and after an eternity my brain started to function again and I gradually relaxed. Scolding myself for being childish I lay back down. No sooner had I got comfortable than I was brought to my feet in a panic of fear. A weird noise filled the room. It was like an ambulance siren, only very low and sustained, unbelievably terrifying. In terror I reached the door and stumbled up the stairs to Margaret’s room. “Margaret, Margaret.” I called, banging on her door. “Wake up, wake up, you’ye got to help me!” “Saints presarve us, Mrs. Har-r-t, what’s happened to ye?” she gasped. “Don’t be scared, Margaret,” I chattered, “I only want you to come downstairs and help me _ look through the house.” “No—no, Ma’am,’’ she protested,

I a NAME FATE “let?s be Jockin’ oursilves in the room here.” Her terror had a steadying ef- fect on me. “Margaret,” I said, “I must see for myself; you follow along be- hind. Grab that old shilalah.” With Margaret brandishing the cudgel and calling on the Almighty for protection, we searched every room in the house, even the cellar and the garage. We found no evi- dence of anyone’s having been in the place. I finally persuaded Margaret to go back to bed. I spent the remain- der of the night in the kitchen with my feet in the range oven—think- ing. I decided not to mention the night’s events to anyone; and I never told Margaret what had scared me. It was some few months after this that the Thornes asked me to their home for a session with the Ouija board. The Thornes’ inter- est in the Ouija board was a source of amazement to my husband and me. They were a practical, down- to-earth couple and among our best loved friends. Educated, cultured Christians, they had an enviable reputation for integrity and fair dealing. I mention the Thorne at- tributes to show that they were thoroughly dependable people and that what transpired this particu- lar evening, in the 1920’s, is the truth. It was a rainy night in late sum- mer. Anne and John gave me a warm welcome. They had a card table set up by the fireplace and now sat down facing each other, the Ouija board between them. I was given paper and pencil with instructions to write down every
Page 93
MY PROOF OF SURVIVAL letter as they called it. They placed their fingers delicately on the three-legged, movable planchette of the Ouija board. It didn’t move! “Neil, play something on the pi- ano,” Anne said. “Something sooth- ing—that often starts things going.” I began to play Humoresque. After a few bars John called, “That’s enough, Neil. We’re off!” The pointer was moving and the letters followed each other in quick succession. When Anne and John stopped calling I divided them into words and read the result aloud. The messages were quite coherent and sensible.

After a short interval the name Isabella was spelled out. “Is the message for Neil?” John asked the Ouija board. The pointer went to ‘yes’. I thought a second. “Of course,” I said, “I had two aunts named Isabella.” The pointer went to ‘no’. “Tye got it,” I exclaimed excit- edly. “My grandmother Neil’s name was Isabella. I’d forgotten that.” “She’s the one,” exulted John. “It went to ‘yes’.” I began to write as the table moved rapidly around the board, This is what came, apparently from my Presbyterian grandmother: “I do not like the school where baby is; the influence is bad.” “We’re moving again,” Anne.

Monte A Cera es EAR-OLD daugh- ter, Avis, and I lived in Portland, Ore., in 1982, in the lower part of a two-flat building. We had two lovely cats, Frisky, aged six months, who had black and white, short fur, and. Starlet, aged three months, who had mostly black, long fur. One night in December, as usual, we put the cats outdoors for a short time, then called them back in. Only Starlet returned. I did not worry at first, but after calling Frisky several more times with no result I went outdoors and looked all around, continuing to call. I could not locate her. We finally re- tired, thinking she would call at the door later to be let in. I noticed it had begun to snow heavily again. Owing to my worry I slept very lightly. But Frisky did not come home. I arose earlier than usual next morning and again looked all around outside before breakfast without even seeing footprints in the new snow. After Avis had departed for

MY PROOF OF SURVIVAL school I searched the entire neigh- borhood for blocks around, even knocking on doors and inquiring for my cat. No one had seen her. I was now frantic with fear, sure that she had been killed by a car. We searched for her for two weeks and finally gave it up. But in my heart I still called for her, silently, and thought of her al- most constantly. Then one night, after personally locking all the doors, windows and screens, we retired as usual. I was soon fast asleep, with Starlet lying near the top of my head. I awoke suddenly about 3:30 A.M. and noticed that it was faintly light in our room. Immediately I felt a heavy object low at my side, lying partly on my feet. I was puzzled. I noticed that the object felt warm; I could feel a vibration coming from it, and I distinctly heard purring. I knew it was a cat. I reached above my head and felt for Starlet. He was there, curled up beside my head, fast asleep. But I could still feel and hear another cat at my feet. I half-raised my head and shoul- ders and looked down. There Frisky lay—breathing and purring for all she was worth. “Frisky,” I cried. She looked around at me, then tucked her head down again and went on purring. I petted her over and over. She was warm, solid, and real to my touch. I finally grew drowsy and I lay back down, so happy in thinking that Frisky had come back. She continued to lie there and I still felt her solid weight, warmth, and the vibration of her breathing and singing.

The next thing I knew it was morning, although the room was very dark. I glanced down at my feet to find Frisky gone. Starlet still slept at my head: I hurriedly dressed and built the cookstove fire, meanwhile wonder- ing where Frisky was now, and how she had got in last night. I searched the flat. I examined all the still locked windows, screens, and doors thoroughly. I called aloud to Frisky as I went. My daughter searched outside for her. She was gone. Again, after Avis had gone to school, I searched the neighborhood for over an hour but found no sign of Frisky. I finally went sadly back home. We never did find a trace of her, As I thought of her presence dur- ing the night, so real and alive, I came to the conclusion that Frisky had materialized for me because I had been calling so hard for her with my heart. I know for a cer- tainty that I was wide awake and that Frisky’s body was as real as in life. Perhaps the strange light was her accompanying spirit.— Renton, Wash.

It was a paying job, at a time when pay was scarce so, al- though Bill was a born hobo, un- married, with the love of wandering in his veins, he decided to settle down for awhile until he should make enough money to move onto the next town. My Uncle Hal, who lived with us, worked at this same newspaper and a close friendship sprang up be- tween the two men. Nearly every night Bill came home with Hal for dinner and entertained us with tales of his adventures. Although Bill rented a room a few blocks from our house he sometimes stayed the night. Because Bill was such a kind, pleas- ant person no one minded the in- trusion. On a Tuesday night in 1932 Bill came home with Hal as usual but after dinner he left on an impor- tant errand. He said he’d be back. About 2:25 that morning my mother awoke suddenly to find Bill Hollis standing beside her bed. At first, she thought he had come in late. But when the image continued to stare mutely down at her, she realized that Bill Hollis was DEAD!! As my mother calmly waited for him to speak the appari- tion vanished. At breakfast the next morning, she told Hal that Bill was dead, but he only scoffed, “He just went back to his boarding house, is all. He’ll be in work today, you’ll see.” But Bill didn’t come in to work that morning—or any morning after that. He had died on the street of a heart attack while returning to our house—at the same time he appeared to my mother! Bill Hollis had promised to re- turn and he did!—Philadelphia, Pa.

BEYOND TELEPATHY, by Andrija Puharich. Doubleday & Co., Inc., Garden City, N. Y., 312 pages, $4.50. Half of this book is definitely interesting. The other half is writ- ten in scientific jargon that is almost impossible for the layman to comprehend. It is surprising that Dr. Puharich could think, as he implies in his Foreword, that: “This work provides a journey that every man can follow.” This reviewer is about as “every” as any other non- academic student of parapsychology, and she couldn’t follow it. Dr. Puharich’s book, which looks highly scientific and scholarly, con- cerns a topic about which so little is known that almost anything scien- tific-and-scholarly-looking is bound to -be impressive. The numer- ous algebraic equations alone are enough to impress the reader into numbness. Here, for example, is a quotation chosen at random: “Since the value of the gravitational constant,” Dr. Puharich writes on p. 198, “is great- er in the sender, the more weakly bound psi-plasma field of the re- ceiver will be attracted toward the sender. Such an attraction will cre- 99 NEW BOOKS ate a singularity in what we have called the pseudospherical psi-plas- ma field (for the electron) and re- sult in an axial extension at one end which can be thought of as the tu- bular end (the mouth-piece end) of a long trumpet.” Still, other parts of Beyond Tele- pathy are highly rewarding to any- one who will take the time to delve into them. If he hasn’t already been scared off in the very first chapters by such words as Cholinergia and Adrenergia, the reader will find some new Peter Hurkos stories, a wonderful out-of-body experience, and a most definitive treatment of the Mongolian medicine men called shamans. A few of the more familiar anec- dotes in the annals of psychical re- search are told, but by far the most interesting case history is that of a man called Rob Rame who accident- ally inhaled ethyl ether from the cement he was using on a piece of plywood and began to have hallu- cinogenic experiences. He soon was using the cement inhalations to go to sleep at night—a practice defin- itely not recommended—and after about nine months—he found him- self able to have astral projections

Bob Rame’s concluding per- formance, in which he tested himself on an astral visit to friends and la- ter verified the scene he had ob- served, indicated extrasensory per- ception. Peter Hurkos, the well-known Dutch psychic, has been a protege of Dr. Puharich’s and he was tested extensively in the Faraday Cage Pu- harich had constructed at Glen Cove, Maine. Accounts given of some of these tests for clairvoyance and telepathy amplify the information in Puharich’s previous book, The Sacred Mushroom. In one of his numerous and vol- uminous appendices the author re- lates, “I wanted to have the inner feeling of what goes on during the act of telepathy, and found that by drinking the proper amount of the juice of a certain mushroom (Am- anita muscaria) I could get the true feeling of telepathy, and prove it to others by objective laboratory tests.” His accounts of his hallu- cinogenic adventures in Oaxaca, Mexico, are fascinating. In Beyond Telepathy Dr. Puha- rich has perhaps gone considerably beyond those of us to whom the strictly scientific presentation is impassable terrain.

FATE tery of dreams and discover the causes behind the phenomenon which has intrigued mankind from the beginning. The approach taken in this well- written book is strictly scientific. The occult or mystical viewpoint is absent, but it still remains a rich distillation of an enormous quantity of material gathered from every quarter of the globe. There are eleven chapters cover- ing Freud’s erotically-oriented opin- ions, Dreams as Therapy, UFO Dreams, Symbolism of Visions, ‘The Dream Cycle, The Visceral Brain, Drugs and Dreams, Brainwashing and Wakeathons, Dream Diaries, The Writing of Kubla Khan, and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dream Plots and Stories. Freud’s approach to dreams, while convincing as far as it goes, disre- gards many basic causes having no relation to libido, suppressed desires, etc. And that some dreams are ther- apeutic there can be no question. Many psychic and emotional ten- sions find release during the sleep- ing state. Through the ages drugs, hashish in particular, have been employed to induce dreams and visions. The author gives as an example the ex- traordinary poem, Kubla Khan, con- sidered by many literary critics as the finest poetic creation in our language, which Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote upon awakening from an opium trance in which he saw the entire work forming before his mind’s eye. The section on Dream Diaries is fascinating and explains an experi- ence common to many in which dreams extending over several nights seem woven together-in logical se-

Diamond also relates the story of Robert Louis Steven- son’s receiving the whole plot for his famous horror tale, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, while in the strange Land of Morpheus. However, according to occult sci- ence, the causes of dreams are le- gion, and it is not an easy task to- correctly classify any dream. Many —if not most—are idle visions with- out significant meanings of any kind, caused by the instinctive, in- voluntary action of the emotional and lower mental principles during the sleep of the body. From time immemorial occult sci- ence has divided dreams into seven basic classes: (1) Prophetic Dreams which are believed to be warnings given by the higher spiritual na- ture of the individual. (2) Alle- gorical Dreams. These are glimpses of scenes past and present, some- times woven together and rather distorted. (3) Dreams sent by others —projected by conscious, waking minds to influence the _ sleeper. (4) Retrospective Dreams. These arise from memories belonging to the ego’s experiences in past lives, and are often called “flashbacks.” (5) Warning Dreams For Others. At times a friend or loved one de- serves a warning which he is un- able to receive direct from his higher nature. The person having the dreams acts as an intermediary for its transmission. (6) Chaotic Dreams. Two or more dreams of the above categories may be experi- enced at the same time, with result- ing confusion. (7) Meaningless Dreams. These are caused by indi- gestion, worry, fear, disappoint- ment, etc. Compensatory dreams also belong to this classification. 103 SHE SAW BEYOND DEATH'S CURTAIN...

Dou- bleday and Company, Inc., Garden City, N.Y., 1962. 264 pages, $3.95. To the writer of science-fiction the sky definitely is no limit. When he finds the universe too confining for his story characters, he can give them more elbow room in universes existing parallel to ours—theoreti- cally, at least—in other orders of space-time. As a top writer of science-fiction for the past 20 years or so, Isaac Asimov—who possesses a Ph.D. and is a professor of biochemistry at Boston University—has indulged in more than his share of such fic- tional free-wheeling. As a result he has experienced the hobbled feeling of the veteran science-fictioneer when restricted to writing of facts. But as he entertainingly demon- strates in this collection of 17 au- thoritative excursions into the worlds of could-be, it is possible to remain within the bounds of fact and yet engage in what he calls fancy. An eclipse of the sun by the moon, as seen from the earth, for instance, has been observed and is fact. An eclipse of the sun by the earth, as seen from the moon, how- ever, has not been observed as yet. But from what is known about the sizes, distances and motions of the three bodies, the details of such an
Page 107
NEW BOOKS eclipse may be deduced. This is fancy. Essentially, therefore, the book deals with the unknown. Few un- knowns are more fascinating than those in the realm of science, and they are fascinating indeed when probed into by one who, like Asimov, is not only a trained scientist but a skilled writer as well. Asimov shows that the difference between fact and fancy may lie sim- ply in the vantage point from which the same set of facts is viewed. The moon, as seen from Harth, is inter- esting—but Earth, as seen'from the moon, would be breathtaking. Just as breathtaking would be certain other planets as viewed from their satellites, and Asimov engag- ingly details what a space-traveling sightseer would behold. Such scenes have not been witnessed as yet, of course, but when they finally are there is every likelihood that they will appear as Asimov has sketched them. For his pictures of fancy are drawn with the paint of. fact. Along with imaginative delicacies, Asimov provides some food for sober reflection. He tells, for instance, how Homo Sapiens is throwing vari- ous monkey wrenches into the deli- cate machinery of nature. He re- veals how modern sewage systems deprive us of one of our most im- portant chemical elements and there- by cause soil fertility to decline at an increasing rate. He also shows how a waste product of our heavily industrialized culture is filling the atmosphere as the first link in a chain of events which threatens to flood the coastal areas of the world —and drastically reduce the living space available to an increasing population. 107 OAHSPE THE LONG LOST UNCHANGED FIRST EDITION THE 1882 EDITION OF THE WONDER BOOK OF THIS AGE, PHOTOCOPIED FROM THE ORIGINAL, NOT A COMMA CHANGED!

With this photocopied edition of OAHSPE the 1882 edition is once 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!

ZIME cevarsune, wis. FATE Is there a 10th planet somewhere beyond the orbit of Pluto? If there is, Asimov tells of an amazing numerological system by which the distance of this planet from the sun can be closely figured. And did a “44th planet,” as Asi- movy terms it, once circle in an orbit between Mars and Jupiter—a planet destroyed by some cosmic catas- trophe? If there once was such an obliterated planet, Asimoy tells what might have happened to the pieces —one of which would be more fa- miliar to the inhabitants of Earth than most might have imagined. Is there a possibility that the hu- man race originated on a planet circling one of the two stars of the double star system we know as Al- pha Centauri? Asimov reveals how a bit of Greek mythology might be applied to this double star system to support such a speculation. Another intriguing possibility Asi- moy deals with is that of intelligent and highly advanced life existing in our own galaxy. He tells where in our galaxy such life might be lo- cated, how old it might be and, as- suming it has achieved space travel, whether it may have reached earth. Still and all, Asimov does not ac- tually engage in any outright sci- ence-fictional acrobatics. He lays a foundation of accepted scientific fact and on this erects structures which are hypothetical and yet reas- onable. The result not only is more fascinating than fiction—it is, for those who accompany Asimoy on his excursions,, a true adventure. For adventure involves not what is mere imagination, not shadow rather than substance, but what almost can be grasped—the unknown that lies just beyond the known.—Chester S. Geier.

TIME TRAVELING UFO’S? I enjoyed reading Dr. Oberth’s article on UFO’s. However, I have a theory as to their origin that he has not considered. It may sound far- fetched, but it does offer explana- tions of facts that other theories find it hard to explain. My idea is that the UFOns (if I may call UFO passengers that) are not space travelers but time travelers. In other words, the UFO’s come not from another planet but from the Earth of the future. This theory would explain why so many UFO’s have been seen in this century. The fantastic scientific progress of the 20th Century—pro- gress that in the life time of a single individual has gone from horse- drawn transportation to space trav- el—certainly will be of great inter- est to future historians. They no doubt will want to study it thor- oughly. And I feel that is exactly what the UFO’s are doing. Practically all those who claim to have seen UFOns have described them as looking exactly like the men of Barth. While men from other planets may resemble us in appear- ance, we hardly can expect them to look exactly like Earthmen. It is a general rule that nature nev- er repeats herself exactly. This rule undoubtedly holds true in regard to man-like inhabitants of different | 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.

However, if the UFOns are time travelers, they will look exactly like the natives of Earth—because that is what they are. One of the most difficult things to explain for those who say the UFO’s are from another planet, is the fact that the UFOns have made no effort to establish official con- tact with any government of Earth. But if the UFOns are from the fu- ture, it is unlikely that they would wish to communicate with us. For one thing, our present is past his- tory to them. For another, if they contacted us and revealed that they are from the future, we undoubtedly would want to know what our fu- ture will be—and they probably feel it is best for us not to know. An- other possibility is that contact with us in what to them is the past may affect the future, which is their present. The sequence of cause and effect might be so upset as to have disastrous results on their own time. In his article Dr. Oberth mentions the sudden appearances of the UFO’s and their transitions from the half-transparent to the invisible state. The time travel theory would explain this. While traveling back- ward or forward in time, the UFO’s must be outside what we think of as normal space, and while in the “other space” they are invisible. Their emerging from or returning to this “other space” would explain their mysterious appearances and disappearances. This theory also would explain why UFO’s have been seen through- out all human history, since time travelers, of course, would not study our own time exclusively. Also, per- sons who claim to have seen UFO’s described them as having the same
Page 111
REPORT FROM THE READERS general shape, usually the flat disk shape, but as having considerable variation within this shape. This is difficult to explain by the inter- planetary theory. If the UFO’s come from different planets, it seems hardly likely that they would be so similar in shape. But if the UFO’s come from different periods of the same planet, they would represent the different models introduced at different times, but would retain the same basic shape because of using the same basic time traveling mechanism. While this theory satisfactorily explains all the facts which have *been observed about UFO’s, the main objection to it may be that time travel is “impossible.” Only 100 years ago, aircraft, atomic power and travel to the moon were con- sidered impossible—yet today we have the first two and are well on our way to the third. Who can say that science and technology will not accomplish even such “impos- sible” feats as time travel within the next 100 years?—Jack Ashby, Grand Rapids, Mich.

SICKRCOM MIRACLE I recently had an experience that I wish to share with your readers because it strengthened my faith in God. I have been a nurse for 25 years. During that time I have had many patients, young and old.

One such was little Jeanne, stricken with spinal meningitis, a severe and often fatal disease. Jeanne was a fair child of about 18 months, dimpled and sweet.

JUNG AND EYELID IMAGES I wish to pass along some in- formation to readers who have been puzzled by seeing “pictures” when their eyes are closed. According to the eminent psycho- logist Dr. Carl Jung, these pictures are “spontoneous fantasy images” that arise from the unconscious lev- els of the mind. There is nothing abnormal about them, nor do they have any particular occult or spir- itualistic significance—at least, no more than dreams do. Dr. Jung called these images “waking dreams” and analyzes them in the same way as ordinary dreams. However, just as some dreams may be psychie or premoni- tive, so may the images. These fan- tasies play a highly important role in Jung’s special process of Individu- ation, whereby the person gains knowledge of his higher self. In my own experience the images have appeared in somewhat differ- ent ways, ranging from vague static shapes to clear, detailed scenes in motion and color. Sometimes words or sentences accompany the images. At other times, instead of a visual presentation, words or sentences will arise in the mind as if spoken by an inner voice.

J. How to develop it What it can do fer your health PID YOU ever meet someone for the first time and know immediately that the person had taken an instant dislike to you? It’s a common ex- perience; it’s also positive proof that you have powers of Extra Sensory Perception. These powers affect your daily life, They can be developed in a positive way to help you. They can also be ignored and repressed in a negative way that may destroy your health. A practicing psychiatrist, Dr. L. J. Bendit, and his clairvoyant wife, Phoebe Payne, have just written a new book THE PSYCHIC SENSE which explains for the first time how ESP can be put to work for you day in and day out. THE PSYCHIC SENSE—$3.50 VENTURE BOOKSHOP P.O. Box 671, Evanston, Hl. FATE are able to bring them up at any time. Others might learn to do so through training. I find that by as- suming a relaxed but expectant atti- tude they often can be coaxed into existence. Aside from their psychological use, these fantasy images might have value if put to work on an experimental basis. Madeline Hill’s letter in the January issue brought out an important point when she mentions their possible connection with psychometry. If anyone decides to try experi- menting, please exercise caution as the images sometimes ean take on a nightmarish quality as I. M. Nelson evidently can testify. This type has an oddly tenacious power so that it takes some mental effort—plus a strong light—to dislodge them from the mind. There is another and more angie ous danger. It is possible to become so fascinated by these unconscious productions that one starts living more in a world of fantasy than the world of reality—Muriel Griede, Dover, N. J. MIRACLE IN A TORNADO Last year a tornado blew my neighbor’s house away and ap- proached my own house. We have no storm cellar and as the whirling black mass grew larger, my daugh- ter said, “Mother; we are gone!” I said, “Dear Lord, please send it around our home!” The tornado rose and went around. As it did so it lifted the flue off the top of the house and set it on the ground. I had been trying for a year to find someone to take it down. In my yard I had a couple of

(Since May, 1961—Ed.) I hope Barbara Platz will prove her points by identifying the adver- tisers who advocated the “forcing of these highly destructive as well as advantageous psychic powers,” and quote the passages with page and date where the magazine advo- eates “forcing”? these powers as an editorial policy.

FINAL ADIEU As Administrative Secretary to the Chancellor-Scribe of The Olym- pian Guild, I have the unhappy task of informing your readers (among whom may be found many practic- ing mystics and numismatists by hobby) that the Rey. Theodora Ra- chel Darploulos has given her final adieu to our material world. Theo- dora was the widow of the late and lamented mystic, Dimitri Darplou- los. A former night club singer of professional status, her unswerving dedication of her new-found as- cetic avocation was such that eight years ago she was duly ordained in the Great Apostolic Confraternity of North America, and five years ago in the Itinerant Invocators. Prior to her untimely passing, she often journeyed to East Newark to participate in the rites of The Olympian Guild’s chapter house. Rev. Theodora Rachel Darploulos

REPORT FROM THE READERS became interested in rare coin col- lecting at the age of 12. She had at one time an enormous collection of rare Spanish coins and a no- table collection of South American tokens, all of which were reduced to an unrecognizable staté when a fire of undetermined origin ravaged her palatial home.—Ella J. Dar- cinel, Hast Newark, N. J. PHOTOGRAPHING THE PSYCHE Frank Edwards’ interesting ar- ticle, Science Studies Death, calls to mind another case of the type he cited. A German ace of the Kaiser war named Koenig was shot down and interned by the Bolsheviks in 1918. He met a White Russian who was also a chemist, and the two es- caped and walked from Odessa to Harbin. Here Koenig married a very beautiful White Russian bal- lerina and prospered for a time manufacturing chemical warfare gases for Chang Tsao Lin, one of the northern Chinese warlords of the early 1920’s. Koenig’s wife contracted tuber- culosis and soon died. Next to math- ematics, photography was Koenig’s favorite hobby; and he photographed his wife’s dying moments with typ- ical Prussian detachment. In the second of the final three photos he made, a white blur cov- ers all of her exposed flesh, but the hairline at the top of the head is fairly distinct. Koenig avers that his wife was alive in the first of these pictures but deceased in the third. He declines to comment on the sec- ond. I conjectured that the depar- ture of her psyche could have caused the white blur, but have been un- able to verify this possibility until 119 America’s only Fact Magazine ‘: - with complete coverage of the famous UFO.

Since cameras, film and dying persons all are in abun- dant supply, why the delay?—Ken- neth F. Hill, Philadelphia, Pa. THE INFLATED EARTH I wish to add my two cents to Mr. Wegener’s theory of continen- tal drift. Mr. Wegener leaves a lot unsaid. If you have a globe of the earth, I suggest you lift it and assume for a moment that it is made of rubber, is inflated with gas and has a valve to release the gas. When the gas is released and the globe de- flated, the south pole will move north and the north pole south. Thus the continents will come together and form a complete globe of earth. The 45,000-mile crack will close, the waters will cover the earth, and thus will be solved the problem of Atlantis and Lemuria, the distri- bution of animals and plants and the similarity of all peoples and civilizations. Just what caused the core of the earth to grow and burst its shell to form the continents is not clear. Perhaps radiations or substance from the sun enter the core to maintain a constant growth.—Dan- tel D. and Floyd S. Hungerford, El- mira, N. Y. INSTANT DREAMS The following letter of mine ap- peared in the New York Herald Tribune, which has given permis- sion for its reprinting in Fats.

REPORT FROM THE READERS The addition of these few lines may be of interest to FATE readers: Instantaneous dreams are the most convincing indications (next to previsions) of the basic coexistence and permanence of all perceptions —also of the fact that their past- to-future progression is imposed, purely by surface consciousness, upon the universal, eternal present. “To the N.Y. Herald Tribune: “Your publication of Edwin Dia- mond’s The Science of Dreams is the most recent entry in the con- stant stream of presentations pur- porting to offer new and scientific facts about dreams. “In his book, Mr. Diamond states that Dr. Nathaniel Kleitman’s exper- iments with electroencephalograph, electric eye-movement recorder, etc., have proved that there are no in- stantaneous dreams—i.e., dreams lasting one second, but visualizing events of hours, days and even years. Electrical instruments do not constitute science, and Mr. Dia- mond’s denial of the instantaneous nature of Alfred Maury’s famous dream of the French Revolution employs a sweeping all-inclusive generality. “During my many years of study- ing dreams I’ve found that the in- stantaneous type occurs very rarely —usually accompanying a violent, very sudden awakening from deep sleep. Mr. Diamond says that the wealth of details seemingly recalled from such an actually brief dream is in reality foisted by waking im- agination into the recall of the dream. Anyone who has experienced such a dream, with circumstantial evidence of its instantaneous nature, is aware that the wealth of detailed (Continued on page 128) I21 FATE Collectors Market Report Back Issues as low as 6 Copies for $2.00 (L.

FATE images floods back in immediate waking recall in profusion much too helter skelter to justify Mr. Dia- mond’s explanation.”—Nat Rapport, Jamaica, N.Y. FATE KEEPS HER UP IT recently loaned a friend, Alice Austin Sheffield, of Dallas, Ga., Some copies of Fatr. As she exam- ined them she said, “There’s just one thing I don’t like about FATE.” I asked, “What’s that?” She said, “It keeps me up all night reading it because I just can- not lay it down!” This so entranced me that I wrote it down fresh off the reel lest it escape my memory.—Laura Stokely Cochran, Austell, Ga. VANISHING PEOPLE First of all, I wish to tell you how greatly I enjoy FATE Magazine. I look forward to receiving it each month and do not put it down until it is read from cover to cover. Now I wonder if some.of your readers can explain what has been happening to me. My husband and I are living in a cabin which a man built about 13 years ago. Around six years ago this man was killed in an automobile accident. Over my cook stove is a square window through which I can see from across the room. Countless times I’ve seen people go past this window. I’ve waited for them to come to the door, and when they have not done so, I have gone out and looked for them. I never see any- one around, however. One day as I stood before the stove I glanced out of the window and saw, as plain as day, a man >
Page 129
REPORT FROM THE READERS standing outside. I went out but no- body was there. I later described the man to some of the old timers in the vicinity and they said my description fitted the man who had been killed. Also a bird somehow has gotten into the cabin three or four times and pecked on the window for me to let it out. I am very much puzzled by all this—Bernice M. Campbell, Grass Valley, Calif. CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES? GC. F. Richter (mentioned in “I See by the Papers,” June issue) tries to peddle ideas about earth- quakes being caused by the move- ments of the earth’s crust, which is very Silly. All earthquakes are caused by the movements of the magnetic poles. The North Magnetic Pole, which was displaced from the true north position a little over 19,000 years ago, at the beginning of the Gla- cial Period, causes most earthquakes in North America, in the Pacific Ocean and also in Europe and Asia. This is because whenever the North Magnetic Pole moves in an effort to return to the former true north po- sition, where it had been before the Glacial Period, it also moves the molten interior of the earth in a complete circle. Then when it has gone as far as it can and stops suddenly earth’s molten interior cannot stop so suddenly. The longer motion of the interior’*causes earth- quakes on the American continent. The South Magnetic Pole is what caused the earthquakes in Chile. The South Magnetic Pole was dis- placed when the mountains were heaved up—kK. H. Isselstein, Spo- kane, Wash. 129 THE HIDDEN WORLD A NEW IDEA IN BOOK PUBLISHING: SUBSCRIPTION BOOKS What is the Shaver Mystery? There are many theories: There are those who support Shaver in his materialistic honeycomb of cay- erns 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. Some say it is ‘‘another dimension’’, another realm of life alongside ours, invisible under ordinary circumstances. THE ENTIRE SHAVER MYSTERY Here it is at last! The greatest single ob- Stacle to publication has been cost — the average book costs $4.00. And the Shaver Mystery, in its entirety, will take a whole series of books.
