TABLE TIPPING.
An Experience or Aadrew Lane; Thkt
tm m Paesle to Ulm.
1 whs once luyiug my hands alone
on n Utile table wbicb apun about the
room. No I'.oubt I nioveU It, but I did
so "automatically." I did not con
sciously exert any force. 1 said, "Ask
the table a question," and a lady re
marked, "Where are the watches?"
Tho table then tilted. The others used
the alphabet in the ordinary way. I
did not know what was tilted out, but
they told me that the message was,
"The watcheH are In Frank's pocket
in the children's room." I asked, "What
watches?" and the lady said, "I gave
two to Frank to take to the watch
maker, and he does not know what be
came of them."
No more do I," I said and thought
no more about It. Frank was a boy, a
nephew of the lady. I scarcely knew
him by sight. Two months later when
1 was in France Frank's father, who
bad been present at the table tilting,
wrote to tell me that I "was the devil!"
The watches had just been found in
an old greatcoat of Frank's lu a
drawer In the children's room, which
was not a room In the bouse where
the table was so well rnsplred. Noth
ing else of the sort over happened to
me. It uus ii n "automatism." 1 did
not know whnt the table "said" till
I was told, and of the watches I knew
nothing at all. I simply do not under
stand the eaite. But "spirits" did not
even pretend to be mixed up in it The
least Inconceivable psychic explanation
ie that Frank, who was at school.
"wired" on to me without knowing It
a fact which he had forgotten and that
I without knowing It msdo the table
tilt out the answer.
Frank at that time was a queer, vi
sionary boy, "a sensitive " but to do all
tills was rather out or hl line. The
skeptical theory would le that Frank,
having heard the story and accidental
ly come upon the tost watches, put
them In the piece where tbe table said
they were, "and the same with Intent
to deceive." But I did not even know
tbat thero u'as a room In his father's
bouse called "the children's room."
