Women first started the strug gle for their rights when they held a convention in Seneca Falls in 1848. Mrs. Elizabeth Stanton and Miss Susan B. Anth'ony were the two most famous women in this great struggle. They were insulted and ridiculed by many people. But they kept up their fight and as a result we women now have the right to vote, to seek higher edu cation, to work—and many other rights.

This sort of thing is not new, of course. Throughout recorded .human history there are instances of exactly the same phenomena. Jn .some cases, men and women have be.en witnessed as they floated I through the air without apparent support. Some of these reports have been dismissed as hoaxes. For others, no explanatioir has ever been found, A century and more ago such phenomena were attributed^o spirits and ghosts who apparently specialized in the mischief they delighted in inflicting on mankind. Levitation and whizzing objects were reputed i powers «dly 'and inconveniently) were the work of ‘salamanders’. Modern researchers are of the opinion that these manifestations, like telepathy, are indications of hidden and erratic powers of the xnind. These they lump under the term *psi’, for the convenience of those whose tongues get twisted trying to pronounce ‘parapsychologi- caT! Just how these hidden-powers of the mind operate is a question which-keeps the lights burning far into the night at Duke’s parapsy (oops!- sorry) at Duke’s .psi labs. So far, they,Jiave yet to come vtp •with an answer which satisfies everyone. T6 add to the, confusion. I’d like to advance my. own pet theory here. Suppose, instead of a (mis)directed flow of e culprit, that it is something like magnetism? Suppo; I certain humans generate a force which alfects molecules the way a ' magnet affects iron filings? Line them up one way and, since mole cules are usually in motion, the object might move itself. in that direction. ‘Rub’ thqm together—^presto!—^the object heats up and bursts into flame. ■yrell, it may sound crazy but it is as good an explanation as any other I ’ve seen.
