President Nixon probably former President when you
read this was informed by a quite well-known woman
astrologer or whatever she is that nothing would happen
to him. Well, she wasn't very successful, was she?
Actually, everything comes in cycles. You get troubles
with Kings, Presidents and all the rest of it in certain
cycles. So if you know where to look you can find out
about these periodic cycles. In the same way you can find
out fairly accurately when a next war is going to happen.
If you had been sufficiently interested to work out the
dates of wars and you had drawn a graph of them, you
would have found that they follow a more or less regular
pattern. Everything happens like that, you know. Even
with human life everything happens in cycles as every
woman knows, and then there are the cycles of the
Moon's phases. But in addition to that there are the
cycles which affect humans most of all, such as the
twenty-three day cycle of up's and down's of health, and
the twenty-eight day cycle, and another cycle which oc-
curs over a period of thirty-three days. We get the health,
the nervous energy, and the intellect, all fluctuating from
top to bottom. And obviously as the three cycles come
together at fairly long intervals then one can have an
extremely good period for a day or so, or an extremely
bad period for a day or so.
I keep a regular chart of my cycles, that is, the twenty-
three day, the twenty-eight day, and the thirty-three day
cycles, and quite recently I was at a peak of what passes
152
for good health with me, as was predicted by the three
cycles. But then there came the decline of the three
cycles all in a bunch, and the result of that was that I was
carted off to hospital, a very sick fellow indeed with more
pain than I like to think about. Then I stayed in the
hospital until the cycles changed around and permitted
me to feel better, after which I came out again.
All life has cycles of this type, and if you know how
they can be charted. Not only that, but if you know how
you can find out the cycles of world events, what's going
to happen to this country, what's going to happen to that,
what sort of person is going to be assassinated next, and
what those naughty little Russian lads are going to do to
upset the equanimity of the world. It is a pity that the
Russians are so xenophobic because they make a lot of
misery for themselves always being absolutely positive
that everyone else is against the poor little Russians,
whereas actually most of the time people couldn't care
two hoots for the Russians. They play pretty rough,
though, as I know to my cost.
Would it not be a very pleasant thing if we could get
our Lords and Masters, who pose as a democratic elected
Government, to prepare proper charts showing world
events and when we can expect an increase in income
tax, or oh wonderful event! a decrease in income tax,
although the latter doesn't seem possible. The Govern-
ments are always willing to put up the prices, to increase
the taxes, etc., but they never do a darn thing about
reducing them, do they? The income tax thing, I believe
it came under one of the terms of the Defense of the
Realm Act (D.O.R.A.) in England during the 1914-1918
war, was just a temporary measure which was going to
be repealed at the end of the war. Well, now, here in
Canada as well as in the U.S.A., the Government of the
153
country imposes a whacking great tax, and then the Prov-
ince or State take their bite as well by imposing a big
tax, and in some places there is a third income tax, that
which is imposed by a money-hungry city. It reminds me
of the sort of life an author lives; first of all he pays
commission to one or two agents, and then he pays in-
come tax in the country which is publishing a book, and
then he loses money on the rate of exchange it's never in
my favour! and then he's got to pay tax, poor fellow, in
his own country. And if he is particularly unlucky he has
to pay Federal tax and then Provincial tax, and if this is
not  his day he has to pay city tax as well. After that he
may find that there is some sort of a school tax because
the Catholics, for some strange reason, seem to have
twisted the arm of the Governments so they can dun
money out of people to help pay for the schooling of little
Catholics. It's a strange, strange world, isn't it?
But my Respected Friend, Paddle Boat Moffet, has a
question; Paddle Boat loves ships, and because of his love
of ships I renamed him  Paddle Boat , a name which it
seems he thoroughly enjoys. Paddle Boat Moffet is a very
gifted model maker. To my disgust he has been making
silly old sailing ship models of an age long past. After all,
who wants to know about ships which are mere lumps of
wood blown along by a bit of cloth stuck on to a bit of a
stick called a mast? All the best modelers make paddle
boat models or good old steam ships, and so Paddle
Boat Moffet, fired by his new name, is now busy making
a paddle boat.
But he is puzzled about the Marie Celeste. You prob-
ably all know about her, but if there is Aunt Agathe out
there who doesn't know let me tell you, auntie, that the
Marie Celeste is, or was, a sailing ship which was plying
her regular route across the seas, and then one day, or
154
rather, one evening, an oncoming ship saw the Marie
Celeste coming toward her with all sails set, booming
along in front of the wind. But like this book it was
twilight, and according to marine law the Marie Celeste
should have had lights showing but there were no lights,
and the people aboard the oncoming ship were perturbed
at several things which seemed wrong with the Marie
Celeste. So after quite a long chase some of the men from
the spectator ship were able to board the Marie Celeste
and lower the sails.
Then they got gooseflesh, or whatever it is that seamen
get when they are scared stiff, because there was no one
aboard the Marie Celeste, no one at all, everything was
perfectly in order, even a meal was laid out on a table
waiting for an unknown diner.
Throughout years and years many conjectures have
been made as to what happened aboard the Marie
Celeste. There was no sign whatever of any violence,
so what could it have been? The life-boats were there
so the crew could not have taken off from what they
thought was a sinking ship. The ship was perfectly in
order, nothing at all wrong with it, except . . . the crew
were not aboard, and that is all.
There have been quite a lot of ships like that. The
ships have been intact in perfect order, and yet there has
been no one aboard. And then if you will read my other
books you will read about the Bermuda Triangle in
which not only ships have lost their crews, but the ships
themselves have disappeared. Aircraft have disappeared [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
