the
title 'The Third Arm
of
the Medium."
He
wrote:
"It
was
at Rome,
21 years
ago,
that
I had
a
seance
with
that
famous
medium,
Eusapia
Palladino.
At
that
seance,
a
married couple was also
present.
Eusapia
told us that she
would
try
to
levitate
the
table without
using
her
muscles.
All
of
us
stood
around
the
table,
holding
each
other’s
hands which were
placed on
the
table.
Eusapia
stood
at
one of the short ends of the table.
I squatted on the floor
on her
right
side.
I put my
left hand around
her
legs.
I
raised
her
skirt,
so
that
I
could
see
the two
legs
of
the
table
nearest
to me.
This made
it
impossible
for anyone
to
place
his
foot
under
the
table-leg
and
lift
the
table.
With my
right
hand
I
got
hold
of
Eusapia’s
right
hand.
This hand
was
also
held by
Mrs.
P.
Mr.
P was
holding
Eusapia’s
left
hand.
There
was
not
much
light
in
the
room,
but
it was
sufficient
to
distinguish
the
various
ob-
jects
in
the room.
After waiting some time the
table sud-
denly
began
to
move.
The
table moved
for
a
few
mo-
ments
to
the
left and
to the
right, and
then suddenly
left
the
floor and
floated about
15 cm above
it.
This
lasted
a
few minutes and then
it dropped
to the
floor with
a loud
bang.
When
the
table
started
to move
about
I
suddenly
saw
that
Eusapia’s
right hand became
indistinct.
Then
it
seemed
as
if
a
whole
series
of
arms,
one arm
above
the
other, were
visible
for a
short
time.
The
levitation of
the
table
too
was
of
short
duration.
Those
present
at
the
seance were very
pleased
with what
they
had
seen.
This
made them
urge
the medium
to
repeat
the
phenomenon.
The
medium
guessed
correctly
what
he
wanted
to
see
again,
for
she
said:
’You
want
to
see my
astral
double,
don’t you?”’
The
phenomena
were
again
observed
and
were
a
great
deal
better
than
those
in
the
beginning.
Out
of
Eusapia’s
left
thigh,
just
in
front
of
his
head,
projected
a
straight
black
spoke
which
looked
like
a
long
thin
arm.
That arm
ended
in
a
broader
piece
that
got
hold
of
the
right
table-leg.
All
the time
that
I saw
this ghostly
thing,
the
table
remained
levitated.
The phenomenon was
only
visible
during
a
short
time,
but
long
enough
to
give
met
the certainty that
I was not having a
hallucination."

Kooy,
J.M.J.
Experiences
concerning
the
Dunne
effect.
Tijdschrift voor Parapsychologie,
1934,
6, 144-169.
The "Dunne
effect"
is
a Dutch
term
for
precognitive
experiences
such
as were
described by
J.W. Dunne
in
his
book, An Experiment With Time
(1929).
Dunne
described
a
number
of
precognitive
dreams
that came
true.
These
dreams
were
generally
of
a
symbolic
nature,
and
the
dreamed
future
events
happened
within
a
short
time
(rarely over
a month).
Before he
read Dunne’s
book, Kooy
himself had
had
dreams of
this
kind.
From the very beginning Kooy wrote
his dreams
as soon
as he woke.
His dreams
forced Kooy
to accept
the future
as
of the same
nature
as
the
present
and
the
past,
and
that
time
was
a human
fiction.
He
describes
some
of
his
experiences
in
this
article.

ParanormaTphenomena
in
'Iceland.
Tijdschrift voor Parapsychologie,
1934, 6,
177-
199.
Paranormal
phenomena
were
already
known
in
Iceland
in 900 A.D., and many cases were described
in the
Island’s Sagas and
in the book, Landnamabok.
In the
lat-
ter such
cases are described
in
detail, and
the
place where
they
occur
is
also
mentioned.
This book was
written
in
the 13th century.
From the very beginning, parapsychologi-
cal
phenomena
were
cited
in
the
Icelandic
literature.
These phenomena were mostly spread among
the
Icelandic
population. Not everybody, however, possesses
this paranor-
mal
gifjt.
Why
this
is
the
case,
is
still
unknown.
The
Icelanders
themselves
would
like
to
know why
so many
people of other countries are devoid of
this
gift.
The
best
book
about
the
paranormal
experiences
of
the
people
in
Iceland
is
that
written
by
Gudmundur
Finnbogason
(Reykjavik,
1933).
The
principal
paranormal
experience
described
is
the
dream.
The dream might be
precognitive, or one that
in-
forms
the
dreamer
about
a
missing
object,
or
where
to
find
missing
people,
dead
or
alive.
Many dreams have
a
symbolic meaning
that' have to be decoded.
Dream appari-
tions
are
also
often
mentioned.
The man
or woman who
was drowned
or murdered
appears
in
the dream of one of
their
beloved
ones,
and
tells
where
she
or
he
can
be
found.
The
article
gives many examples
of
clairvoyant men
and
women
whose
second
sight
is
not
only
active
in
dreams, but also when
fully awake.
These clairvoyants of-
ten know
special
things,
e.g., where
to find runaway
cattle
or
horses,
the
hour
and
manner
of
the
death
of
certain
people,
the
finding
of
those who
committed
criminal
ac-
tions,
etc.
