Experiments of this kind have not been made by Professor Barrett, and other modern inquirers, except by M. Richet, as a mode of detecting automatic action. But it would be just as sensible to use the twig as to use planchette or any other 'autoscopic' apparatus. If these elicit knowledge unconsciously present to the mind, mere water-finding ought not to be the sole province of the rod.
After Henry had deciphered this invitation, he gave a glance at the page as a whole, which had the air of having been penned by Planchette in a state of violent hysteria, and he said to himself: 'It's exactly like Snyder, that is. He's a clever chap. He knows what he's up to. As to my choosing Onions Winter, yes, of course it was due to him. Henry was simple, but he was not a fool.
"Well, it was only about two weeks after that, I was practising and Mother was rubbing down a table she was fixing over. Nobody else happened to be at home. Cousin Parnelia came in, her old battered black straw hat on one ear as usual. She was all stirred up and pleased about a new 'method' of using planchette. You know what planchette is, don't you?
The workmen hurried in. The foreman took the skin and buried it in the glowing coal of a forge, while, in a semi-circle round the fire, they all awaited the action of a huge pair of bellows. Raphael, Spieghalter, and Professor Planchette stood in the midst of the grimy expectant crowd.

What have you been doing? Any planchette?" She looked brightly at Mrs Quantock. "Yes, dear Daisy, I needn't ask you what you've been doing. I know how interested you are in psychical matters.
Inactive bodies have no active agency. Ques. Whence come the words of Planchette whence her intelligence? Ans. From the seat of intelligence in the one who commands me. Ques. Can you foretell coming events? Ans. The future is not made known to man. Ques. Can you give information not in the minds of the operators? Ans. No, or in the mind of some one who works me. Ques.
On close investigation, the stories of conversational parrots prove as apocryphal as Katy-King legends and planchette miracles. Causality i.e., the gift of tracing a recondite connection of cause and effect is another faculty which many varieties of monkeys possess in a decidedly ultra-instinctive degree.
Now, his brother was connected with the matter; and although at the time he considered the Planchette half wrong, yet in the morning, after reconsidering the question, the Author actually did send the wire to his brother instead. Sundry other things did the Planchette write, mostly wise, but sometimes foolish.
Jackson brought his chair-legs down again, and put his hand on the planchette. "Feel that tinglin'?" asked. Whitwell, and Jackson made yes with silent lips.
