he was anxious to experience the vari-
Gus psychic resistances to applied
forces. Accordingly he pushed down
on the table and felt elastic resistance
to deviation and he pushed inward
toward the medium and felt the ririd
resistance.
HE then asked the operators to
place the table on the floor and to pre-
vent him pushing It inward toward the
medium. The table descended to the
floor. AS soon as it reached it the ex-
perimenter heard sucking noise on
the under surface as though a sucker
there was relaxing or changing its
grip and simultaneously the same kind
Of noise on each front leg as though
suckers were taking hold there. The
light was quite good and there was
nothing to be seen.

on the table they had their grip and

stration by rapping on each front leg
and on the under surface.
"They said they had three psychic
arms out in this particular case.
"They also declared that they can
have as many as six arms or rods out
at one time"

easily understandable that the \rods
could fairly easily grip the legs, or
under surface Of the table (perhaps
three rods being in operation at once),
and turn the table partly over as
shown; but about position 60 there
would have to be a new disposition Of
the rods; or ono or more Of them would
have to let 60 and take grip on an
other part Of the table: or owing to
the awkward position reached, some Of
the rods would have too much stress
upon them and would be likely to slip
(Which seems actually to occur, If we
may judge from the sounds heard);
and In general new arrangements
would have to be made.
Imagine man sitting in the
mediums chair, and, instead Of his
two arms, to possess three or four un-
jointed rods, which he can move up
and down, to and fro, which he can
shorten and lengthen, but which he
cannot bend, and with the ends of
which he can take suction grip on
various parts of the table, and we
have fairly good idea of what is TAX
ing place during the occurrence Of the
phenomenon.
