RADIO DIGEST May 26, 1923 HYPNOTIZE BY AIRPHONE (Continued from page 1) Vishnu rang out clearly over the crowd, although he was many blocks distant: Gives Command to Sleep '•It gives me great pleasure to attempt this strange new feat of hynotizing a woman by Radio," he said. At this point the big audience strained every nerve to hear, for being in the open air on the main business street, there were many disturbing noises, and his voice seemed to die away. Suddenly his deep tones rang out again, and a serious expression overspread Miss Kyle's smiling face as he said: "Fix your eyes, Miss Kyle, upon a definite object! Let your mind become concentrated upon the one thought — that of sleep. Put your knees together!" iliss Kyle became deathly still. She seemed to be getting dazed. "You will drift oft peacefully to sleep — SLEEP!" was heard as the Radio buzzed on. A little quiver ran through Miss Kyle's body. Her head drooped and her eyes closed slowly as she lurched forward, reminding one of a sleepy little child whom the "Sand Man" was about to get. One of Vishnu's attendants hurriedly took the receivers off her ears, which left her entirely dependent upon the Radio horn for a continuance of the experiment, and gently lifted her up. From over the long distance Vishnu seemed to mysteriously sense the situation and feel her" exigency for him. Quickly from out the Radio horn came his clear commanding tones: "Let your body become rigid!" Rushes to Subject As if by magic, Miss Kyle's body straightened stiffly, every muscle taut. She seemed dead. In this state she was carried by ambulance to be placed on a little white bed which had been arranged in the show window of a large department store several blocks away. Meanwhile the hypnotist got into a waiting automobile and was hurriedly driven to Miss Kyle's side in order to quickly relax her body before placing her on the bed. Upon his arrival at -the show window, bending over Miss Kyle, he examined her condition and only smiled as she relaxed naturally. Then when she was lifted from the stretcher to the bed, where she was to remain in her comatose state until the next afternoon, he called on her again for rigidity, after which he again relaxed her for her twenty-four hours' sleep. After seeing that her breathing and heart were right, he gently drew a mosquito netting over the top of the bed, through which could be seen her flushed face upon the pillow. "I find being hypnotized by Radio queer," said Miss Kyle the next day after she had been awakened from her long sleep. "However, I was not a bit afraid or nervous. Have you ever waked up from a real sound sleep and felt so drowsy that you would turn over and go right back to sleep? "Well, it's just that twixt-and-between feeling I got' at first. It seemed like I just must go to sleep. I never knew when I quit hearing Mr. Vishnu talking to me. I just went right off into dreamland. Then, when I was awakened, at first I seemed all confused, as though someone was making a big fuss over me, and then, Wake up!' was the first thing I got." Other Feats More Astonishing1 Will Come The hynotism of Miss Kyle was a striking demonstration of the progress science is making and how hynotism is keeping pace with it; yet withal, Vishnu declares that the coming years have in store for the ambitious youth discoveries even more numerous and much more astonishing. "Hypnotism through the air is possible," says Vishnu. "When a subject is once controlled, only the sound of the human voice is needed. If the sound of the human voice can be transmitted by Radio, there is no reason in the world why a subject can not be controlled by Radio, and while hypnotizing a person by Radio is in itself a difficult feat, yet that of waking a subject by the same means is by far the more arduous task." California Town Plans1 Loud-Speaker Curfew Fans Show Fight, Say, "Curfew Shall Not Ring" SIERRA MADRE, CALIF. — A Radio curfew ordinance is under consideration by the city board of trustees here. Citizens who are uninterested in the ether science have complained to city officials that the noise of neighborhood loud speakers is unbearable and become a nuisance when operated late at night. The Radiophans of the city are planning to wage a hot fight to prevent any action being taken against their interests. The law as suggested reads that it shall be an offence to operate any form of loud speaking apparatus after nine o'clock at night. m Radio telephones are to be placed on every fishing vessel of the Norwegian fleet, umbering more than 14,000 ships.
