Sinclair, Mary Craig, 1883-1961; Sinclair, Upton, 1878-1968; Telepathy; Telepathy -- Case studies
S.P.R. _Proceedings_, VI, 164–5.
Footnote 28:
Professor Sidgwick declared that the whispering of himself and his
colleagues was certainly voluntary, and that there was no success
otherwise.
Footnote 29:
Neither M. C. S. or I ever made the faintest trace of a sound during
an experiment. That was the law. And I never knew which drawing she
was holding. I had just one order: to watch steadily, and be able to
say that she never “peeked.” I did this, and I say it, on my honor.
This is an honest book.—Upton Sinclair.
Footnote 30:
She was undergoing the menopause; hence the special depression. It is
important that every such fact should be stated. It might even be that
the condition heightened the telepathic faculty.
Footnote 31:
Of course Mrs. Sinclair is solely responsible for this as every other
of her expressed opinions.
Footnote 32:
This was written when it was expected that the experiments with the
brother-in-law would continue some time. The general character of the
objects is stated. In fact neither duck nor basket of fruit figured.
The experiments with “Bob” soon ceased, not only because they involved
a strain upon him in his then condition of health but because Mrs.
Sinclair suspected that she was telepathically having her own feelings
of depression increased by his.
