Speaker 1: not impossible. It is the Chinese rug. Shab two bullet
Speaker 1: holes in it. It shaved him shives life, Yes, loves
Speaker 1: the Chinese Rug, and it saved more than a men
Speaker 1: sives life. Well, that is an amazing Sorry that major
Speaker 1: happened to doll hear me. We never talk of it,
Speaker 1: but you see old Jep I never sneered it native beliefs.
Speaker 1: But colonel, you didn't finish our story. What do you mean?
Speaker 1: What about the park here? Did you horse hi him?
Speaker 1: I didn't have to. No. No, next morning Loo thing
Speaker 1: came and got me. We went out into compound and
Speaker 1: they're right in front of that camp of tame risk,
Speaker 1: wrapped in the strangling polt of the Chinese Rug. Say
Speaker 1: the old Sakir dead. Out of deference to people who
Speaker 1: are still alive. Character names in these unsolved mysteries have
Speaker 1: been changed inasmuch as any solution must have necessity be supposition.
Speaker 1: Liberties of time, place, and character exist in the solution
Speaker 1: that will be presented after you have heard from the
Speaker 1: wisponsor sinking at the suffer, Ladies and gentlemen, the solution
Speaker 1: for what you have been waiting. But tell me, colonel,
Speaker 1: didn't you ever try to find out how such a
Speaker 1: thing could be possible. You understand, of course that workers
Speaker 1: in black metic, whether they be in Hitti Ethic or India,
Speaker 1: believe there's something personal. There's kind of hair, fingernails clipping
Speaker 1: and such light are an essentially breathe into the formula.
Speaker 1: They're black art and your wife Dorothy and taking the
Speaker 1: stand of hair from the Chinese rug and giving that
Speaker 1: to the park here because they did his powers from
Speaker 1: controlling her exactly, all the concentration, all the pent up theory,
Speaker 1: the hatred and diabolical coming at the fact here what
Speaker 1: leveled at the objects most totally connected with that kind
Speaker 1: of hair. I can understand that, and I can understand,
Speaker 1: since you say it so that the Phakia might have
Speaker 1: une harmed Dorothy, who is a living being, But that
Speaker 1: such power could really affect a thing like a rug
Speaker 1: is something else. Again. Scientists are divided in their opinion
Speaker 1: as to how such things are possible. But here let
Speaker 1: me show you a brief quotation from the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Speaker 1: Physical phenomena can be grouped under two main heads. Telican
Speaker 1: niesis or the movement of objects at a distance other
Speaker 1: than by ordinary physical means, and tell it plesme or
Speaker 1: the exclusion from the body of the medium of a substance,
Speaker 1: sometimes amorphous, sometimes resembling portions of the human body, or
Speaker 1: even complete figures. Phenomena of both these kinds have long
Speaker 1: been familiar. And then the quotation then teleconesis, the movement
Speaker 1: of an object is recognized by scientists as being possible
Speaker 1: decided to resolve. And I can assure you that if
Speaker 1: you live in India long enough, you will see more
Speaker 1: than one demonstration of the power of concentrated mind over
Speaker 1: purely inanimate meta. Thank you, colonel, but after hearing your story,
Speaker 1: I really don't believe that I want to
