...psychic, "Margery," Mrs. Crandon, removed all clothing before the seances at Harvard, says a signed state- ment of the Harvard group in Dr. Crandon's report. "She wore into the seance room one warm woolen garment," Electric torches, large megaphones, bells, baskets, all illuminated by phosphorescent paint, formed the psychic's equipment. "Several professors wore illuminated Electric bands on feet and wrists, and illuminated marks fastened on the center of the forehead with tape." Twenty minutes after the session began, "Walter," the spirit, began to speak. "This is a nice, comfortable room: looks like the Charlestown Jall. What's this...
Hillyer's trouser-leg was pulled very strongly; Hillyer reported that the psychic's feet were not near his feet when his trouser cuff was pulled. An electric bulb on the ceiling fiashed on and off. Buzzers rang, a "teleplasmic" arm grasped objects on the table in the dark. The arm pulled Dr. Boring's hair. "Dr. Boring placed his nose in the doughnut and encouraged Walter to pull as hard as possible. He was pulled with a fumbling horizontal movement strongly enough to hurt a little...
President Scott, however, thinks otherwise. His prodigies, apparently selected without reference to emotional or psychic stability are collectively thrust into an artificial environment, minutely supervised by a committee, and submitted to a special brand of instruction.

That the Northwestern prodigies will be successful in their college work is as obvious as it is irrelevant. After four years, however, they will leave, socially unfitted, intellectually strained, and quite as far from the good life as they had been before. Possibly the professorial...
...headache is not in every case a part of the migrainous attack. A person reasonably normal in emotional and psychic make-up may have periodic episodes in which he feels depressed, absentminded, confused. Things and ideas seem strange and unreal to him. He may act like an automaton, swear he is living in both the past and present simultaneously, add up two separate columns of figures at the same time. To be called migraine, such attacks must be short (not more than two days), periodic, not associated with unconsciousness...
...Looks, Magnetic Personalities are physical realities if Otto Rahn's (Cornell bacteriologist) measuring devices have not deceived him. Living plants and creatures emanate an electromagnetic wave which is shorter and more penetrating, although much less strong than ultraviolet light from the sun. These waves now seem to be the "psychic auras" which spiritualists have vowed perceiving. Ghosts may be realities. Onions radiate comparatively powerful waves from their tips. Strongest human radiations proceed from the finger tips of the right hand. Lett finger tips also produce a comparatively powerful emanation. One woman complained that flowers withered at her touch...
