HUMAN RECEIVERS

LATE EDITION

PHYSICIAN’S SUGGESTION REMARKABLE WIRELESS THEORY PATIENT’S PECULIAR EXPERIENCE. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegrapli Copyright..) Received 3 p.m. to-day. LONDON, Jan. 5. The remarkable suggestion that there are people who, owing to some special conformation of brain, are natural wireless receivers has Been advanced by Dr Leonard Avery, a distinguished physician,

He illustrates the case by a patient of his in a mental hospital who is. perfectly normal except that he frequently hears music, sometimes opera, sometimes instrumental solos and somgs. The latter are in different languages which, fie does not understand. The man hums as lie listens to the tunes which are recognised by many people, but not the man himself as he does not know them.

The “Daily Express” medical correspondent says the theory that a man may be a wireless receiver is in nowise ridiculous. It remains for science to discover whether there may not be individuals who, through the peculiarity of special senses receive and recognise impressions produced in them through others.
