FLASH LIGHT ON BIG GUN
A flash light attachment for a big game gun is an unusual piece of equipment accompanying Captain R. Stuart Murray and Major George Witten on an expedition to Honduras, where they hope to bag specimens for the American Museum of Natural History.

How Good Are Your Hunches?
If you’ve ever suspected you had psychic powers, here’s a chance to try the famous Duke University tests on yourself and your friends.
By Dr. J. B. RHINE
Director, Duke University Parapsychology Laboratory
A YOUNG graduate student at Duke University dropped in to see me at the Parapsychology Laboratory one afternoon.
“Like to try your ESP?” I invited.
He nodded and I shuffled a deck of special test cards, then cupped my hand to screen them from his sight. We made a . few “trial runs” to test his mood. At first he missed every card and I teased him about doing so poorly. Bridling a bit, he named three of the next five cards correctly. Then, just for fun, I began betting that he would not get the cards right. Without looking at the cards, which were all face down on a table, I said, “I’ll bet one hundred dollars you can’t call the top card!” The student looked off into space a few seconds.

How Tiros Photographs the World (including Russia)
The day of the high-flying spy plane may be over. America’s camera-toting satellites will soon be ready to take over security reconnaissance work
By S. DAVID PURSGLOVE
IS America’s first military reconnaissance satellite already orbiting the earth? Tiros I—launched in April—was called a “weather observation satellite.” But it has disturbed top U. S. officials the way weather never could.
Nobody expected the camera-carrying Tiros to do more than demonstrate the feasibility of weather satellites (it actually has come up with significant, although not new, information about weather). But Tiros has embarrassingly done more for military spy satellites than it has for weather satellites.
