Description:This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II NEW PROBLEMS AND EXPERIMENTS ON REACTION Capsizing of medium and her chair during levitation--The two kinds of levitating structure--Effect on weight of medium when experimenter presses downwards on levitated table--Levitation over spring balance--Upside down levitation--Effect on medium when table's weight is increased--Relation between increased weight of table and loss of weight of medium--Bicycle tests--Psychic structure used when table is pushed inwards strongly towards medium--Direct downward push on spring balance--Psychic mechanism used when medium and her chair are pushed along the floor--Matter abstracted from the body of the medium. In my former book, as I have already said, many problems were left unsolved with regard to mechanical reaction during the phenomenon of levitation of the table. I am now going to describe experiments carried out for the purpose of solving some of these and of clearing up points which were left in a doubtful state. As an introduction to this part of my subject the following article, reprinted from "The International Psychic Gazette" of September, 1916, will be found useful: "During a recent series of experiments upon table levitations, rapping, and allied phenomena, I had occasion to examine pretty carefully the reaction upon the medium, for upon the extent and character of the reaction depends the ability to form a satisfactory theory. "In this article I wish to give the results of late observations upon the character of the reaction, and to state as clearly as I can the points with regard to it which are definite and fixed, and those which are still more or less indefinite and, indeed, mysterious.
