Philippine Witcheraft.

That a firm belief in witchcraft per-
sists in some parts of Pampanga prov
ince is the purport of a communication
received in Manila from an investi-
gator. who has investigated the claims S
of Filipinos that they were being af-
ficted with various bodily ills by per-
sons who are called Magcalums ac-
cording to the Manila Times While
the educated inhabitants scoff a the
belief it was found to be Widespread d
throughout the towns as well as in
the agricultural sections far from large
centers of population Extracts from
the communication follow: The belief
is old one, probably coexistent with
the tribes. 1t is not confined to one
or two towns, but exists to a greater
or less degree in all. though the idea
probably is having greater hold upon
the people of Lubao, Macabebe and
MasantoI than any of the other mu-
inequalities.
The belief is that a person who
has this power can create illness in
another. provided the other is a be-
lever in Maga1ums. A careful and
extended search has failed to produce
single Pampansan who impressed the
Investigator as being entirely free from
the idea that people might have this
power. Many laugh at the mention of
such a power and in general way
say that they do not consider it possi
bic, vet references to specific cases will
usually elicit the fact that they can
ascribe no other cause to certain eff
fects
1T would seem that the tender spot
of these near divinities is the neck of
the intended victim the Magcalums
causing an enlargement of that part of
the body Sometimes the indiction is
related to a specific event. For in
