Another experiment of the same nature is recorded by Dr. Blair Thaw in the article already referred to (p. 31). The percipient was Mrs. Thaw, Dr. Thaw and Mr. Wyatt were the agents. We are not told whether in this instance, as on some other occasions, the percipient was actually hypnotised, but judging from previous experiments it may perhaps be inferred that she was at least in a condition called by Dr. Thaw "a passive state," not easy to distinguish from the lighter stages of sleep-waking. The experiment took place on the 28th April 1892. No. 20.--By DR. BLAIR THAW. _1st Scene._ Locomotive running away without engineer tears up station.--Missed. _2nd Scene._ The first real FLYING MACHINE going over Madison Square Tower, and the people watching.--Percipient: _I see lots of people. Crowds are going to war. They are so excited. Are they throwing water?_ (Percipient said afterwards she thought it was a fire and that was the reason of the crowd.) _Or sailors pulling at ropes._ Agent said, "What are they doing?" Percipient: _They are all looking up. It is a balloon or some one in trouble up there._ Agent said, "Why balloon?" Percipient: _They are all looking up._ Agent said, "I thought of a possible scene in the future." Percipient: _Oh, it's the first man flying. That's what he's doing up there._ Agent: "Where is it?" Percipient: _In the city_. An account of a similar instance of the transfer to a hypnotised percipient of an imagined scene has been recorded by Mr. E. M. Clissold and Mr. Auberon Herbert.[42] FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 26: See the discussion on this question in Chapter XVI.] [Footnote 27: Vol. i. pp. 226, 241; vol. ii. pp. 17-19.] [Footnote 28: It is a frequent experience that hypnotised subjects are incapable of responding to any voice other than that of the person who has hypnotised them. The difficulty can, indeed, generally be removed by asking the hypnotiser to place some other person in rapport with the subject--_i.e._, to give the subject the suggestion that he should also be able to hear the person indicated. At this early stage of our experiments it would appear, however, that this device had for some reason not been adopted.] [Footnote 29: Cf.
