3. Movements of objects without sufficient contact to explain the movement produced. There is here a distinction to be made between (_a_) movements produced without any contact whatever—_telekinesis_: _e.g._ the rising or sliding of a table or chair, the swaying of scales, etc., without their being touched; and (_b_) movements with contact, which is insufficient to explain them—_parakinesis_: _e.g._ the levitation of a table on which the experimenters lay their hands. 4. _Apports_: that is to say, the sudden appearance of objects—flowers, sweets, stones, etc.—which have not been brought by any of the assistants. This phenomenon—if it exists—supposes, in addition, the following:— 5. Penetrability, or the passage of matter through matter. 6. Visual phenomena, which are themselves subdivided into:— (_a_) Vision of the odic effluvium. (_b_) Amorphous lights. (_c_) Forms, either luminous or non-luminous. (_d_) Lastly, the most complete phenomenon of all—the materialisation of a form, human or otherwise, luminous or not. 7. Phenomena which leave permanent traces, such as imprints. 8. Alteration in the weight of material objects or of certain people: levitation. 9. Perceptible changes in the temperature: sensation of cold or heat; spontaneous combustion. 10. Cool breezes. Such are the chief psychical phenomena of the material order, which have been pointed out by different experimenters. I have not verified all of them: raps, telekinetic, and a few luminous phenomena are all I have obtained in a thoroughly satisfactory manner. Intellectual phenomena are those which imply the expression of a thought. I will class them in the following manner:— 1. Typtology: the table, upon which the experimenters lay their hands, leans to one side and recovers equilibrium by striking the ground. 2. Grammatology or spelt-out sentences. Various methods may be used. The principal are:— (_a_) Repeating the alphabet until a rap indicates the letter to be retained; (_b_) Pointing out the letters of the alphabet by means of a pencil or stiletto, etc., until a rap indicates where to stop; (_c_) Finally, the designation of the required letters by an index-hand on a pivot fixed in the middle of a circle composed of the alphabet, the index-hand moving with or without contact. 3. Automatic writing: _immediate_, when the subject writes without the intermedium of an instrument; _mediate_, when he uses an instrument, such as a planchette, a wooden ball with handles fastened to it, a basket, a hat, a stand, etc. In this case, several people can combine their action by laying their hands all together upon the object to which the pencil is attached. 4. Direct writing: _i.e._ writing which appears on slates, paper, etc., whether in or out of sight of the experimenters. If the letters seem to be formed without the aid of a pencil we have _precipitated writing_.
