Successful Long-Distance Experiment
by a Honolulu Amate

Successful Long Distance Experiment
by Honolulu Amateur.
One of the queerest freaks Of hypnot-
ic influence ever recorded Is reported
from Honolulu, where, according to the
Pacific Commercial Advertiser, a SUBJ
ject was put to sleep by a hypnotist
Davis plays a typewriter In the office
of the attorney general at Honolulu.
He is an amateur musician and prom
inent member Of the Triangle club,
which is allied with the Young Mems
Christian Association. He is an ardent
student of hypnotism.
/. One evening recently number of per-
sons gathered in the New England
bakery to see the telephone experiment.
youth of q years who had been op-
Grated on by Davis several times took
the telephone receiver in his hand while
Davis spoke to him from an Instrument
In the Judd building, several blocks dis
tant A card over the telephone in the
bakery had written on it the name of
Thomas Williams. AS seen and heard
from the Judd building the following
was the procedure. Davis called to the
subject-who being well known here
does not want his name mentioned-to
take the card In his hand.
"What Is the name on the card!' he
asked.
Then he said: "It's grow ing dim. The
letters are blurred. You can't see them
WELL Your eyes are closing. You are
getting sleepy. You want to sit down.
You are going fast. See, there you
are"
Those in the bakery saw the subject
take the card in his hand, heard him
answer. the questions, and finally reel
and fall into the chair, assisted by Nc
Laughlin, Davis guide in the creepy
science. Mclaughlin telephoned to
Davis that the youth was "gone" and
the Davis fastened in hack to the
bakery. There he ordered the subject
| into the lanai, where there was more
room for experiment. The young man
tottered along with one hand on Davis
arm and seemed glad to sit down when
he reached the spot pointed out to him.
F[is eyes were closed, but when COM
manded to open them he did so slowly
and stared vacantly ahead. A candle
| held to his eyes did not cause him to
wink nor did a needle passed over the
eyeballs bring any signs Of feeling. He
/ was like a man drugged. When told
to hold out his arms perfectly stiff he
obeyed and kept them there for four
minutes without evident fatigue. So
when made to believe by Davis per-
s.lasive language that he was at hula
he laughed and clapped his hands and
seemed pleased. He ambled through a
cakewalk-not being graceful dancer
in his waking hours@and shuffied his
feet when told that he was listening to
ragtime music.
The most curious phenomenon of the
/ experiment was in the startling differ
! ence between the pulses of the subject.
Before he submitted to the test the sub
jects pulse registered "a. After fit,
/ teen minutes it was 96 Under the di-
rection of Davis and Mclaughlin the
/ left pulse went to 80 and at the same
moment the right was ia. Bringing
