Mystery Of a Wedding Ring

If a wedding ring is suspended
from a piece Of thin cord or
thread held between the first fin
ger and thumb of your right
hand, elbow resting on the table,
it will readily be understood that
the ring can swing like a pendu-
lum.. If you place your LEFT
hand flat on the table over which
the ring is suspended you will be
interested in watching the ring.
Now let some other person placs
his or her hand over your eft
hand and then watch what hap
pens to the ring. This is not 4
trick. 1t is merely a demonstra-
ton of a scientific mystery which
is described in the Magazine Sec
