HAS FREQUENTLY TALKED WITH MARS

London Doctor’s Remarkable Claim

TELEPATHIC COMMUNICATION USED

[By Electric Cable—Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Friday, 7 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 28.

Sir Oliver Hodge, lecturing in Dondon, said he attached no importance to the talk of getting into touch with Mars. “Wo have not done so,” he said, “and arc not likely to. We may get etherwaves there, but how arc they to know what we arc talking about ? They don’t understand Morse or English.” Nevertheless Doctor Mansfield Robinson, the sender of the telegram, fot which ho paid the Rost Office 54d, is satisfied that an answer came through the fourtcen-valvo wireless set, erected at a friend’s house. “It is a simple thing, which confounds the Wise, to get in touch with the Martians. One must use both the telepathic and the physical. I have often communicated with them tclcpathioally.” Whether this is so or not, Robinson had the satisfaction of picking up a Post Office message. The Post Office expresses satisfaction at the collection of 54d.
