Moon Trail and Sir Arthur

In 1937 in Lily Dale, N. Y., where spiritualism and Townsendism are the chief preoccupations of the inhabitants, a friend of the shades named Ralph G. Pressing announced that he had managed to record at a seance in the Maplewood Hotel a report from Beyond. The spooky commentator was an American Indian named Moon Trail. Dead 300 years, Moon Trail's remarks, as translated by his intermediary, Dr. Horace S. Rambling of

London and the spirit world, and as revealed by Mr. Pressing's recording, proved him a man of culture, if no great originality. Said Moon Trail: "Learning is living. . . . Every soul is a brick in the mosaic of the universe. If one were lost the universe would fall." In pursuit of the psychic chums of Moon Trail, and determined to make more of the loquacious defunct talk, Spiritualist Pressing last September corralled another batch of earnest mediums, went to the Buffalo, N. Y. offices of Transtudio Corp., a commercial radio-transcription studio. A medium soon got through to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. While sympathetic listeners urged him on by exclaiming "Isn't he a dear, the sweet thing," Sir Arthur announced through an earthly middleman that he was happy to send a message to "peaceful America," wound up: "Not so very long ago that great and noble worker Sir Oliver Lodge joined us on this side. Perhaps under similar conditions he too will be able to deliver a message to those on the earth plane." Last week, pointing out that Sir Arthur's voice was identical with that recorded in his lifetime, Spiritualist Pressing declared that Sir Oliver Lodge had agreed to float into the Buffalo studios very shortly for a recording.

As a psychic entrepreneur, Mr. Pressing is anxious to put his celestial pals on a radio network. He is convinced that if he can get them to talk for recordings, they'll be only too happy to come to a microphone.
