Wireless receivers as a mental hospital theory
London physician Major Leonard Avery proposes that some people may be natural wireless receivers due to brain structure. He recalls a patient who heard music in the air and could hum melodies in different languages, suggesting a rare sensory or cerebral configuration that could allow reception of etheric signals. He urges thorough medical study and cautions against immediate ridicule of the idea.

Settlement schemes offer land aid to jobless Victorians
The Stel bourne Herald reports government schemes to settle unemployed workers on rural blocks. In Eastern Gippland about 20 000 acres of prime land are idle, with 6 000 acres held by finance firms or absentee owners. Gov could parcel these to needy families, costing around £100 per man for six months, then enabling a self supporting home with cows, poultry, and basic shelter, reducing starvation risk and restoring independence.
