LIFE AND CHARACTER READING.


People born on this date come un.
der the sign of Cancer, and they have
a number of faults which must be
corrected. They are laziness. selfish
ness, jealousy, vanity and love of mon
ey for moneys sake and for the pur-
pose of display.
The undeveloped Cancer women will
go to great lengths to obtain the gar
ments and jewels which her really fine
taste covets beyond anything else in
the world. These women like to wear
sparkling gems, and are always striv.
ing to show them to the cbest advan-
tage.
The men of this date also like to dis
play themselves and their talents. They
are Unfortunately fond of seeing their
name in print, and are always seeking
the plaudits of the crowds.
The governing sign of this date is
Cancer, and the governing planet is
the moon. The birthstone is an emer-
aid, and the astral colors are russell
and gold.

Human Body for Aerial

Human Body for Aerial
The latest in aerials is the human
body!
This new form of antenna was de-
vised by one of the inventors in Mar
conis floating radio laboratory, the
Electra" With a sensitive amplifer,
it could receive messages from ships
at sea.
A few turns of wire around the OPP
orators body and the human aerial
does the rest.
But an enterprising New Yorker has
gone this British expert one better.
He doesn't use any wire
From his Office across the river,
Rudolph Wolf listens in on the broad
casting from Newark, N. j., by just
touching the receiving set!
By contact with the aerial binding
post, Wolf makes his body act as the
antenna. If this sound isn't loud
enough, he calls his assistants and they
stand, with their arms raised, forming
human antenna chain!
The longer the chain, says Wolf, the
better the reception.
For radio experimenting, this form
of antenna is worth try. But for
steady reception, stick to the loop or
wire aerials.
They are more reliable-as antennae
than the human body.

had broken i .be house, but search

Terrifying Experience.
The most terrifying experience. oc-
Cured the evening the Kerrs were
packing preparatory to moving. Mrs.
Kerr, alone in her room, was filling
a trunk. She was on her knees, bend
ing over when she heard footsteps
coming up the stairs. She was almost
paralyzed with fright. She felt the
invisible presence cross behind her.
Then there was pressure on her neck
and she couldn't resist. The pres
sure was firm and gentle. Mrs. Kerr's
head was slowly and resistlessly forced
downward until her face was almost
within the opened trunk Mrs. Kerr
brought forth a supreme effort, pushed
the trunk from her, uttered a piercing
shrek, and then struggled to her feet
and locked her door. TIL ghostly as
sailant then disappeared.
The next day, the Kerrs left and the
ghost went, too. Experiments are be-
ing conducted to recall the phantom to
Villa Wisteria for scientific investiga-
ton.
The psychic explanation is that the
phantom was the ghost of the dead
Danish sister, who was haunting Meth
er the Villa Wisteria nor the Kerrs,
but wished to be near her beloved pos
sessions, which the Kerrs had pur-
chased. Some of these possessions in
the trunk, ready to be moved away,
are believed by spiritualists to have
been the reason for the attack on Mrs.
Kerr.

Furniture Shifted.

IL
Thereafter, Kerr heard footsteps al
most continuously when he was at
home. They seemed more distinct in
daylight. When he was reading. the
footsteps would pass in front of him.
When he moved about, they followed
him. At various times, the furniture
on the floor above was shifted On
one occasion, when Kerr arrived home
at night, footsteps rushed down the
stairs toward him and he ran out into
the street in fright. At no time was
the phantom visible.
Throughout this period, Kerr said
nothing of his experiences to his wife.
This. fact is held to be of great value
by psychic investigators, because after
the Kerrs had left the house, they
compared notes and then for the. first
time Kerr learned his wife had heard
the same ghosNy sounds in Villa Wis
terra.
When the Kerrs decided to move,
two French women called to inspect
the house which they thought they
might rent. While the visitors and
Mrs. Kerr were talking, they all heard
the front door open and close. Then
steps were heard in the hall. The
steps went up the stairway. There
was cough and the steps appeared
in the room overhead. A chair was
heard to nave, and one of the French
women asked whether there was any
body stopping in the house.
I Mrs. Kerr explained that her hus-
band must have come home. She went
into the hail and called, but there was
no response. She made an excuse to
the visitors, who soon departed. Mrs.
Kerr had no doubt her husband was
upstairs and had been too shy to come
down. She mounted the stairs, but
found nobody. She was greatly fright
ened and fed to the kitchen, locking
herself in until Kerr returned an hour
later. She told her husband somebody

A Ghost Story

and, on at least one occasion, has at
tackled woman, is arousing the deep
est interest in psychic and scientific
circles throughout Europe.
The facts in the case have been au-
thenticated by the Hilbert Journal,
the leading philosophical magazine
published in England.
The ghost appeared to Mr.. and Mrs.
Nigel Kerr, an English couple, who are
not lspiritualists, according to this
magazine. They recently decided to
settle down in town bordering one
of 1.-The Italian lakes. They withhold
the name of the town, except from
scientific Investigators, for the pur-
pose of preventing rush of morbidly
curious people.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kerr bought the eff
fects of two elderly Danish sisters.

was attributed in part by the surviv-

after making over the lease of )her
house, Villa Wisteria, to Kerr.
The alleged ghostly visitations be-
gan as soon as the Kerrs moved into
Villa Wisteria. Mr.. and Mrs. Kerr &C.
cupied different bedrooms. The first
evening, Kerr, in bed, heard light foot
steps on the stairs. At the top of the
stairs, the footsteps hesitated, he
says. Then, Kerr was aware of hands
feeling the outside OF the door Of his
bedroom. There was bright light in
the bedroom. Soon, the doorhandle,
which was on the latch principle, NOV
ed upward. The door can only be op-
ened when the handle is moved down
ward. Again, Kerr heard the hands
pass over the outside of the door, and
again the handle moved upward. Kerr
got out of bed and quickly opened the
door. He could see nobody. He re-
turned to bed, and then after short
interval, heard the footsteps again.
This time they were descending from
the floor above, and finally they moved
