"Homo,” the who convinced Sir Oliver Lodg of the reality of paychic phenomena, has there been an acting case of an English medium whose controlling spirits are said to be able to interpose an invisible, non- conducting medium: between burning mab-s stances and the naked hand. The natural. dumption is that the trick-if trick beis due to some protective heat-repol ling solution spread on the hands. The rgument against this is that if any sch ubstance were known it would have an value as a beat-retaia-

Yrs. Annie Hunter, of Bournemouth, claims to possess this power of handling fire without suffering injury when she is under, spirit.control. She gave a small senace before a society interested in puchic matters, and a Daily Express representative was invited to be present

The sitting was entirely different from. the usual spiritualistic seance. Thera ware no hymn, there was no darknem, and every possible precaution against tand and trickery, was encouraged. The people present wanted the truth. The Daily Express representative was taken to the cellar to seient his own log, and those a piece of dry deal, part of a build. er's scantling da was about three inches square and ten inches long.

He was then introduced to Mrs Anale Hnater, the medium, a kindly, middle aged woman, dressed in an ordinary dress of reddish material. She has dark sunken eyes, and does not strike a casual observer as being anything more than a normal individual Her hands are soft and yielding, yet she is able to carry daming logs in them.

The room was a bare studio, with a plain linoleum-covered floor and a dozen. wooden chairs. A bright coke fire burned in the fireplace. The log was pet on and was soon blazing. It was not touched until red hot and thoroughly charred on all sides. In order to destray any my gestion of prepared bands, the medium washed them thoroughly with soap and Water-

The sitters, a group of tea people, then took their seals and Mrs. nator, pasaod rapidly, into the control- led state. Her control is.stated to be the spirit of a Parsee who died hundreds of years ago, and when entranced she 'spešks nò- English.

la minute or two she began to speak, and words that, sounded like Epotal B-MAN Korus,

occurred frequently. She was viol expostulative, shaken and excited The words poured out in a quick, unbroken. stream She stood up and payed her hands and gaticulated. Then the pounced on the glowing log flaming among the coals and kept juggling it from hand to hand. The log was dame, and showered bits of burning charcoal, sparks, and ashes about the TROEL did this twice, putting the log back into She the fire to flame again.

The Parsee language stopped, and an English, spirit control is doing this in healer trans iated his words. order that you may know that there is sconnection between the pure spirit of Fire and the Great Spirit was the gist of his communication. Then came the Parece again, and Mrs. Hunter seized the log and held it down on the head of the Daily Express representative. Bits of burning tharcoal and ash fall off, and, despite the paychia theory that the log is rapped in s fame-proof psychic envelopes his hair singed nicely. Again the log was pat back in the fire.. It was then carried by the mediam and laid on the open palm of another.

Later the Daily Express representative. atcmpted to pick the log off the fire It was impossible to hold it for even Ja fractional part of a second; yet Me Hunter was able to carry it round the whole circle in her hands.
