Black Magic and ESP SOUTHERN STAR Page 20 He died within two weeks. He knew that the ceremony was being held. And he was frightened. Who wouldn't be? And it didn't help his composure when his negro servant all told him that they were sorry he was going to die, and asked for references. And of course they told him he was looking lousy. Anyway, he died in two weeks, and the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him. Which was not exactly strange. There wasn't anything wrong with him, except his mind, but that had been poisoned. And it killed him. That's a good case to show how and why Black Magic works. The one one thing that is an absolute necessity is that the victim know what is ing on. That is if ESP doesn't enter in the case. . . . Professor Rhine of Duke University has made a science of clairvoyance, mind reading, and the allied subjects. His methods have chained them down to the laboratory; seem to many to have proved their existance. Rhine uses a deck of 25 cards, marked with stars, circles, crosse and similar figures. There arefive of each kind, and five different kinds. By chance, a person would guess five of the right ones each time he went thru the deck. He might guess more than five, or less, but in the long run it would be about five out of each twenty-five. And some people can make it as high as six and a half out of several thousand trys. Now that doesn't seem a great deal, but the mathematical odds against it are such that it amounts to a mathematical impossibility. And one subject named thru the entire deck correctly. There is a probability of 525 to 1 against that, an astronomical figure. If you put a kettle on the fire, it doesn't have to boil. It could freeze, only that's improbable. The probability against it freezing is about the same as that against naming that entire deck right. The odds are pretty strong in favor of Professor Rhine's ESP being a real fact. All that's needed for a doll with a needle thru its heart to kill a man is for that man to know of the existance of the doll. And as Seabrook says: "It is an exciting but unpleasant certainty that if Professor Rhine's cold cards marked with stars and circles can send out any emanations whatsoever, that can be picked up by any means outside the five normal senses, then a doll pierced with needles can, too." THE END. Edgar Rice Burroughs: A Critique. Concluded from page 10 remain in my memory, and for which I shall always feel grateful to him -- namely, the wild and lovely picture of Tars Tarkas leading a horde of green men, Throat mounted, across the dead sea bottoms by the "ligt" of the Martian moons; David Innes plunging into the sea in a dive down a thousand foot cliff; the beauty and terror of that other valley Dor, the Lost Sea of Korus; the great western trek in the last part of The Moon Maid; the clean bones of the huge Spaniard, standing in a lost gorge leading to the city of lunatics; Thura of Ptarth with her 10 legged Banths; and Perry's navy on the primeval sea of Pellicudar. Coming!: "The Prepostrous Prophesying of Tim P O'Nautisshan." A humorous MUTANT article by-- JACK SPEER
