CONFESSIONS OF MEDIUM SHOWS

LATathIide Well in the April Yale
 Review-l
 The significant fact about being a medium is that the messages are usually of consequence only when the one most closely concerned is in con tact with the ouiji board Now you have the first secret of the way to be a medium Make it easy for your clients to give themselves away, and they will do it with results far ex- ceeding anything within your powers of invention, even though they do il unconsciously and are fully persuaded that they have not in any way in. huenced what was written. Spirits always seem to like to deal in vague generalities or in philosophies that are as beautiful and moral as they are obscure, and ours were no ex- ceptioD- I soon found that the diff ficult thing was to hold my imagina- ton in leash So that I did not un- consciously piece out tentative be ginnings with what seemed the ob- vious ending; for success in the me diurn game comes from choking back resoiute1y all g1inmerings of what you think may be coming and forcing your associate to be responsible for
 it all All have to do apparently
 is to signify my readiness to the hos' of fami1iars that seem to wait upoE my bidding in order to be greeted b, Q steady flow of discourse thai streams from my fnger-tips, and that is terminated only when get so bored can't stand it another minute-fo, 1, seldom do my fascinated coliea gues desire to relanpgrish the game
 Do I play fa1r2 certainly do. If I am bored when there is some cur ! iosity involved in seeing what on earth will happen next, I should be l bored to extinction if l attempted 1 to cheat in any way. Moreover, l i couldn't cheat successfully if ] ! would The messages are practically
 always for my companions and no; | for me, and they are, again, filled with names unknown to me and facts with 1 which I could not possibly be famn 1 iar- Half the time never know tha l the communications even make sense 1 and the excitement comes when | have 1aboriously spelled out some
 thing that is to me wholly without | significance and ask in real doubt l Does that mean anything to you ?' l For rare 1t is that am not met vyith 1 the breathless response, tFYes, yes; gC | oni'' Moreover. I wouldn't cheat ir any way even if I could.
