But we are still at a loss for a 'round' and satisfactory hypothesis which will colligate all the alleged facts, and explain their historical continuity. We merely state that continuity as a historical fact. Marvels of savages, Neoplatonists, saints of Church or Covenant, 'spontaneous' phenomena, Mediumistic phenomena, all hang together in some ways. Of this the Church has her own explanation.
A popular mediumistic writer has given the following excellent words of warning to young mediums: "Do not go into public promiscuous 'developing circles. There is always a danger of 'cross magnetism' and disorderly manifestations in such gatherings.
One of the most noted of the mediumistic fraternity whose name I do not choose to give at present steadily pursued his business, for several years, in a room in Broadway, in this city, and succeeded not only in humbugging a good many people, but in what was more important to him acquiring quite an amount of money.
If there were a few more "detectives" like Doctor Von Vleck, the whole mediumistic fraternity would soon "come to grief." In undertaking to show up the "Ancient and Modern Humbugs of the World," I am determined so far as in me lies, to publish nothing but the truth. This I shall do, "with good motives and for justifiable ends," and I shall do it fearlessly and conscientiously.
On the ground thus cleared and at the portal of this unlooked-for riddle, which comes to disturb our peace in a region which we thought to be finally explored and conquered, there are only two ways, if not of explaining, at least of contemplating the phenomenon: to admit purely and simply the almost human intelligence of the horse, or to have recourse to an as yet very vague and indefinite theory which, for lack of a better designation, we will call the mediumistic or subliminal theory and of which we will strive presently and no doubt vainly to dispel the grosser darkness.
Let me have some tea in my own room at four, please." She got up, and her letter and one of the cards fell to the floor. I picked them up for her, and I saw on the card: Mrs. Ronald Chataway Magnetic Healer and Mediumistic Divulger Lost Articles a Specialty I don't know why, but I thought, like mother and Aunt Elizabeth, "Well, of all things!"
Bottazzi pauses to generalize: 'Whatever may be the mediumistic phenomena produced, there is almost always at the same time movement of one or several parts of the medium's body." "What does he mean? Does he mean that Eusapia performed all these movements with her 'astral hands'?" asked Mrs. Quigg. "That is precisely his inference. 'Mysterious hands, Bottazzi calls them."
In the current slang phrase, they "have troubles of their own" to overcome in the production of mediumistic phenomena.
Moreover, the earnest investigator of spiritualistic phenomena must always bear in mind that the mere production of mediumistic phenomena of the physical phase is not the real object of the investigation and sittings.
So that our ordinary human experience, on its material as well as on its mental side, would appear to be only an extract from the larger psycho-physical world? Vast, indeed, and difficult is the inquirer's prospect here, and the most significant data for his purpose will probably be just these dingy little mediumistic facts which the Huxleyan minds of our time find so unworthy of their attention.
