that certain persons possess a magnetic
polarity-that is, they are found to ACT

in fact, north and south poles In such
case the individual, on being com.

on vertical axis, cause DETECTION,

not assumed that all persons possess this
polarity, but in the case of Professor

pertinent was tried the phenomenon
