I ficatiOns, the business of running mat
rimonial agencies would at once be-
come legitimate pursuit.
Speaking of his inventions, Forest
Cheney spoke as follows: Invention
is the simplest thing in the world. 1t
Is so simple that it's perfectly absurd.
All facts that exist may be found
somewhere in the atmosphere around
us. either In their latent form or in
some form that Is already perceptible
to ordinary human consciousness. In
vention Is simply the reaching out in
to the invisible and bringing these
facts and combinations of facts forth
into the visible. The magnetic aura
enables this to be done. When l in
vent thing, l never experiment. I
never fuss around with models, or tin
ker with experimental devices. First,
l determine what l want to accom-
plish. Then find the combination Of
facts that will do 1t, already knowing
that what l am searching for exists.
For invention Is not creation. 1t Is
merely putting together, or rearrang-
ing what already exists. 1 attract
these latent facts, and latent combina-
tons through the attractive power of
my aura. This power makes these
facts and combinations fugitive. I
simply reach into the latent and bring
them into the objective"
Forest Cheney is declared to be the
greatest living authority on accous-
tics. He is writing a book on this
subject Attached to the head of his
bed there is dictaphone. A good
share OF his new book has been die
tated while lying in bed, and at weird
hours OF the night, If one were to
pause at his door he might hear the
quiet flow Of scientific phraseology, in
stead of the snoring of the tired sluln-
berer.
Late In February, he gave the first
demonstration of his resonator in
Cleveland, in private recital before
members of the Colonial club and
their guests. The machine, at this re-
cital, played some twenty difficult rec
ords, without the sign of blast, with
perfect reproduction of correct quality
of tone, and with power enough to
have filled the Hippodrome.
The inventor Is a veritable oddly
Of man. He has the long hair of the
latin quarter, and the eye of the mys-
tic. Years of research In the occult
give singular authority to his interest
ing comments on the vibratory radi-
ance Of personal magnetism, called
the aura, which European scientists
have recently thrust anew into the
public eye.
"All magnetic vibrations says Pro-
fessor Cheney, either antagonize each
other or else mix and harmonic. This
Is fundamental law. Thus all per-
sons either antagonize each other. or
harmonic. Auras undergo constant
changes. They may be reinforced and
augmented just as the sounds of mu-
steal effects may be reinforced and
augmented.

their vibrations and become more &C

vidual potency undergoes decisive
changes. People attract each other
when certain cells in them are stimu-
lated. This magnetic exchange is one
of the most important of life cur
rents. The sanitarium head of the fu-
ture will make a study of the aura of
his patient just as physicians now
make a study of the physical and men
tai condition Of the patient.
"All magnetic vibrations are lumin-
Gus to a certain extent. Some are so
| gifted that the aura is visible to them.
The aura explains why one man may
influence the world. and gain riches,
fame and honor. while an equally gift

The great salesman is the one with a

pictures the aura will open a long

Thus, when Moses came down from

auratic body into heaven. his face
shone and the children of Israel
were afraid to come nigh him. :"
