Professor Zollner concludes with some remarks on the necessity of complete passivity on the part of the observer as regards the conditions under which these manifestations occur, and points out that their unexpected variety, and the fact that the same things are not repeated at will, even when most desired by the sitters, are additional arguments why Slade cannot be credited with doing them himself, since a conjuror has always the greatest success with of repeated tricks. The same rule holds good as in all other scientific work. The impartial and cool observer, who continues patiently watching the operations of nature, is more likely to be rewarded than he who disturbs them by trying to impose his own conditions.
