NOT FROM MARS!

MESSAGE RECEIVED. MR ROBINSON STARTLED. (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION —BY ELECTBIC TELEGRAPH —COPYRIGHT.) (Received October 25th, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, October 24. Mr Mansfield Robinson, the psychic investigator, got a lot of publicity, even if ho did not get ft reply from Mars. This chiefly was provided by an angry "ma's"' message to the London newspapers; "I do not know what inv husband is doing. Messages cannot be sent to Mars. It is nonsense." his wife said. Mrs Kobinsdn was obviously annoyed. She paused for breath, alid added: "I do not know, whether the message was sent —I do not care. Ido not know where my husband is—l do not. care. I do not know whether he got a reply, and I do not care. There will be no moro nonsense in this house!" Thereupon the dtfor was slammed. Mr Robinson was more startled with this message than anything he could have received from the other Mars. "I daren't go home. My wife, I believe, disapproves of my experiments, and this affair lias unset her. Perhaps she'll telephone me. It is all very upsetting." He said that the Martians were also very annoyed because the signals did not come. They were sitting up for hours to receive them. They Were laughing at our scientists, because they had got rid of utmospherics and we hadn't." The G.P.O. saici: We sent Mr Robinson's message, riiitl also sent an official report of what happened. We cannot divulge it, becatise it is official. Professor Low, wlio was present listening-in, nervously expressed the hope that it would be made perfectly clear that "all I did was to observe the experiment. Nevertheless, I disagree with it. The experiment was foolish, but it would have been foolish to miss ■the opportunity of observing it."— Australian Press Association. [Mr Robinson arranged to transmit from the Rugby wireless station a message to Mars, "Love from the earth tb Mars. God is love." The message was sent on an 18,000 metre wave, length, but no reply was received. Mr Robinson claims that his etheric body has visited Mars, holding tho hand of a woman guide, Coniaruru, who had a> "ibvable personality," her name meaning "loved one." Possibly Mrs .Robinson's singer has been caused through her husband's association "with Coiriafiirii.]
