Mr.. Gctsinger is scarcely thirty years old.
He was born near Detroit, Mich, OF German
parents. He does have q world of silky
brown hair, but it is ever neatly combed.
A luxuriant brown beard is attended by
handsome flowing mustache that Mr.. Get
singer always combs with bis fingers as he
thinks, and he thinks nearly all OF the time.
He has blue eyes, fully expressive of the
mild manners characteristic OF the man. He
dresses stylishly, and looks for all the world
like the business man he says be is.

Five years ago left Detroit and went to
the Rocky Mountains and there studied

Not at all. think there should be
revolution in our schooling system. The
young are merely taught the things that
others have thought. They swallow un-

not think for themselves"
1t would take pages to describe Gctsinger's
solar theory. Briefly stated, he contends
that the sun is ring OF vibrating matter
The reason we see it as disk is because
solar light is SO intense In its vibratory
action as to travelin straight lines for over
22 900, 900 miles from its point OF origin
We look into a cone formed by these
rays at a distance OF the earth from the sun,
and therefore only a disk is visible.
The sun ring he says, is the center OF
shell of matter that was formerly i nebulous
mass The suns greatest circumference is
Ga $50 years OF light. This distance cannot
be conceived, when it is remembered that
light travels at the rate OF 10000 miles
a second. All the stellar bodies, he holds,
reyolve about this sun.

movement OF the farthest stars from the
standpoint OF vibrations. Said he:
vIBRAToRY THEORY EXPLAINED
II am an exponent of the vibratory the
ory-the theory that is taking the thinking
world by storm, and which was ridicuied
by orthodox scientists as being too vague
for serious consideration.
.What is vibration? 1t Is a rythmical
and pid succession of energy, or, vibra-
ton is force manifesting in rapid and
rythmic manner. Thus, energy operating
under one condition manifests heat, under
another condition manifests sound; then
color, light and electricity, all OF these
are resoiya BILE to a vibratory basis.
I'm the years which have spent in scien-
tific research the cause of designs in life
has taken up a portion OF the time with
great results. One of the most simple ex-
periments, whose deductions can be car
ried into the realms of botany. biology and
psychology, can be made in the following
manner, VIZ: Take a piece of drumhead or
a like texture and stretch it tightly over a
wooden frame, and then take thick
paste or gelatine, made by dissolving
spread the jelly-li paste over the texture
of about tone-sixteenth Of an inch in depth.
Stand this frame on the table, place be-
hind 1t a bulrs-eye lantern so that a lumi
nous disk will be thrown upon the frame;
darken the room, and then, by taking
tin trumpet and singing into the larger END,
holding the small end close to the gelatine'
