Ilohert L. Irwin, a- young businessma.ii, sat in hie homo- al- Pasadena at a specified hour and made; a drawing oi a tabtei-i'qkk.

An image came to her repeatedly and she took a, pencil and wrote-: “See , sll tablefork. Nothing else.” Then Upton Sinclair made a series of rough drawings of anything that came into .his head. Each, of these was placed in a sealed envelope. Mrs* Sinclair, who had no knowledge of what was in the elive!apes-, took them one by one ami placed them on her solar plexus,. Having received what she considered mis a- convincing telepathic “message,” or image of the contents o-f the envelope, she sat- up and made sketches of what she ‘‘saw.’’
