gj r vv r the tribune- stouffville ont thursday may 24 1945 tft r ijv i some of water imulg butiileatl the writer of this story could tell you of ijmore than one person around stouffville who have that additional sense or nerve centre or whatever you call it to divine water or minerals in fact remote the qualities of these materials are so diverse that it is difficult to conceiveof atype of vibration that would be equally well picked up by all of them moreover the force re quired to twist a hazel twig can be measured and if it is produced as some diviner say by the water mineral oreor body pulling then there exists a form of invisible communication of a type of which we know nothing it would be im possible for instance to transmit this force across the distance by jany of the vibrations called wire- people may possess this added sense and not know it we particu larly recall one or more farmers who made use of their added sense in smelling for water on some neighboring land where a well was sought but tijis story has to do more with another phase of its value than that of locating under ground water for a well its pretty well taken for granted now that there is something to water divining the writer says that after a period of skepticism it is now recognized as a real and very useful giftdivinershave not only shown they can find water but have also divined a variety of other things from minerals to lost children watched by villagers and the police recently a devonshire england water diviner began a search for two youths who had dis- appeared and were presumed drowned in a river an allnight search had failed to provide any clue the divinerused a whalebone divining rod and neld a pair of braces belonging to ione of the youths and after tracing the path followed by themvfound arowboat hidden in the reeds here the rod i transmitter and receiver any sort of explanation of the phenomena of diving seems to call for some force which is detected by the diviner and which he then interprets probably quite subconsc iously through his twig or pendu lum wnat kind of force could it be some scientists are frankly skeptical of the existence of any force but we have only to consider what a person of the year 1800 would have thought if confronted with the wonders of broadcasting and radar today to rule out this negative attitude the kind of force it might be is that whiclu if one can believe the experience of millions of people enables one to feel that there is someone in a room in pitch dark ness v casually call it a sixth sense the ability to feel such forces undoubtedly is highly de veloped in animals how does the homing pigeon find its way how does a wild animal smell water from many miles away in a strange country itdoes not seem to be straining probability to suggest that primi tive men all had this instinct or sixth sense much more highly twisted over and the diviner point- developed it was necessary to their edjto a- spot in the water the survival the diviner would there- bodies of the youths were later fore be a man in whom this primi- brought up from the water- at this tive instinct survived there is spot nothing incredible in the sugges- this is only the latest in a re- tnat ttle degree to which the markable series of instances of senses are developed in different bodies being found by diviners men and women varies very great- some time ago for instance a and in fact a s man people diviner ended the search for a nine- undoubtedly have the ability to yearold boy who was missing by water wn do not reallze it- leading the searchers to a water- filled clay pit this diviner used a hazel twig and held a pair of the dead boys trousers there are instances on record of the victims of crimes being found and the remarkable diviner abbe mermet who died a few years ago on one occasion found the body of a child who had been carried oft by the valais mountains by an eagle the abbe used a pendulum instead of the more usual divining rod there have of course been a great number of failures the average diviner would be the first to admit that where the bodies of people either dead or alive are concerned- divining is nothing like one hundred percent certainbut there remain records of more than sufficient cases to show that saying there must be something in it is not overstating the case- doneby vibrations howcis it done diviners them selves explain their powers in vari ous ways most of which come down to vibrations which are detected by the divining rod scientists have beenunable to record or measure these ivibrations even with the very sensitive electrical recording appar atus now available and on the face of- it the possibility of the vibra tions being picked up by a twig of hazel a piece of whalebone or metal or even a pendulum seems the most credible theory sug gests that the twig rod or pendu lum has nothing to do with divining at all and that the diviner could in fact walk with nothing in his hands and find water in fact there have been a number of skilled diviners who have done this they just felt the water or mineral was there- be that as it may we have stood by and seen a birch twig twist in the hands of the diviner when he passed over a spot where water was beneath him and that was his one way and only means of telling there was water below a people s isybur june 11 government

penalizing the loser temporarily to the germans hitler was appar ently not evil for plunging mankind into the bloodiest conflict of all his tory he was merely a poor dolt for not following the counsel

thousands of british american and canadian lives and returning man kind all the sooner to stability and peace but the opportunity to have the red army march into man churia and soviet airmen take off
