Leave His Body

Walks Through MAN WHO DIED Walls and LIVES AGAIN IN Closed Doors

By ANDREW KIDD

William Gerhardi, famous novelist and critic, has been invited to turn himself-into a human test-tube in a scientific experiment.

Psychic investigatora want him to enter a "cloud chamber" and project his astral body so that they may take the first photo- graph of a human "soul."

For many years Mr. Gerhardi has possessed the power of projecting his astral body, leaving his physical body behind.

He has often fallen asleep and, on awakening, hus looked down on his body, which is attached to his "soul" by a luminous ray., •

RISK OF DEATH

Now the International Institute for Psychical Research has asked him to take part in a dimcult test. Willlem Gerhardl will be asked to while project his "astral body" cameras are trained on the "cloud chamber he has entered.

It is believed that if the test is Auccessful photographs will show

a shadowy, gossamer-like body, an exact duplicate of the human leaving the novelist.

Such

culties lie in the way of an experiment," William Ger- hard told

is me. "There

the risk that if I were placed in some kind of tank and succeeded in pro- able jecting myself I might not be

to return to my physical body. That would mean death."

HIS SPIRIT. VOYAGES

of

41. This tall fair-haired man author of best-selling novels, told me in matter-of-fact tones something of his spirit voyaging.

While voyaging in the spirit. Gerhard can handle material objects, but they no longer feel solid. He has passed through closed doors, walked on ceilings, and passed rough sold walls Into space, The

longest ustral Journey he claims to have made was from Lon- don to Hastings. His spirit visited the house of a friend in Hasung and afterwards he was able to check up with this friend exactly what he

had seen.

The

Lost Cord

New York, Mar. 25. REAT presence of mind was shown at the famous Metropolitan Opera singer, Mlle. Natálie Bondanya; dur- ing a performance of "The Clandes- tine Marriage," in which she ap peared as Elisetta.

*

*

IN the midst of the drawing-room scene, while in full song, an article of her clothing slipped to the floor.

This was too much even for an audience at the Metropollton and the usually sedate atmosphere was rent

by a burst of laughter.

邀

BUT

ita

UT Mlle. Bondanya carried on, singing loudly above th laughter, and, despite difficulty in keeping her period costume in order, managed, with a vigorous kick, to rid herself of the encumbrance.

As she left the stage there, was rousing applause when the garment was hurried to the wings by another kick.

AUSTRALIAN DRAMA

An astonishing recovery from death, has been made by Darey Peterson, aged 15, of Pyrmont, New South Wales.

Alter grasping a live electric cable which carried a charge of 450 volts, Peterson was rescued by a comrade who Improvised gloves of newspaper: but to all appearances the rescued boy was dead.

There was no pulse and he seemed to have breathing. Yet an hour Inter Peterson

stopped out of Sydney Hospital and was able to re-

I walked turn to

runced that he felt very little the worse and was incredulous when told he had been brought back from the dead.

The recovery was due to a small device which has recently been issued to all Sydney ambulance officers. It consists of a cylinder of carbon dioxide about as big as a man's thumb with a tap and nozzle attached. The carbon dioxide is released under the patient's nose resulting in such powerful stimulation that the arrosted breathing recommences and the "dead" person returns to life-Austral News.

STANISLAUS SMOLKOVSKI, twenty-year-old professional thief, crept at midnight into a circus at Myslowitz, near the German frontier, to steal the day's takings.

A second later Smolkovski wOB crushed agninst the bars, Iis shrieks started the other animals in the circus Troaring.

Circus hands freed Smolkovski. He is now in hospital.

CORRESPONDENCE

Indian Films

To the Editor..

Hongkong Telegraph.

Sir-Not-very long ago there used 10 be shown some Indian films in the Colony. Of inte, however, this prac tice has suddenly stopped. I don't know just why, but it has been very disappointing. As I don't know who the gentlemen concerned in showing these Aims

I would like, were, through your columns, to requert them to restart showing these fndinn films, and to show them more fre quently that is, at least one alin per week. I might mention that I am not only volcing my own request, but the request or many others.

MUI TSAI REPORT

From A Special, Correspondent

...

London, Mar. 27.

I hear on very good authority that opinion in this country has twung round to the Majority Report on the Mui Taal issue. It may not be epoch-making, but is practical, and it meets with the approval of such Graham friendly critics as Mr. White M.P., who has always, raised the issue in the House, and Sir John Harris, Chairman of the Aborigines Society.

I

hes, Miss Picton Tuvberville think, rather overdone the agitation, which has apparently been aimed at stampeding the Government into accepting her point of view. Critics

"out

that really her report is a point rehash of the report of Sir George Maxwell

on the same issue some time ago. At all events the Govern-

ment

are not particularly anxious to take on any more responsibility for if whether, the moment and I doubt Imperial sanction is needed to any it recommendations, as I imagine

nust be, anything will be done this year.
