OREGON'S "CRAZY HOUSE" BAFFLES SCIENCE By J. A. KETES I Shell Touring Servtc Four miles from Gold Hill, OresreTi. tands a dilapidated shack, lu..t some thirty years ago aa a mine assay office. Ten years ago it slid down hill from its original position to land squarely In the center of a 126-foot circle, within whose bounds there operates, or appears to oporat, & strange "force". A person standing III this tip tilted shack leans, or appeam to lean, as much as 1 degrees from th normal vertical nosition of the body. In the .area are other strange upseta in the laws- or gravity ana other naturnl laws. What the "force" In no ona dofinltelv knows. While Jitandinpr In one of the room In this "MV"trv HoURfi tolld ball may be thrown Into the air but the ban.

Anyone standing in this area cannot help leaning toward mag netic, north, regardless of what di rection he may face. Whether fact or fancy. K-lb. weight suspended as a plumb bob on a rope may be pushed toward magnetic south more easily than magnetic north. The plumb line shows a distinct "bow" In the direc tion opposing magnetic north, that Is, 22 degrees west of true south but you can't pull the bow out of the line. Trees wunin tnis area an lean without exception toward mag netic south.

Home persona become dizzy or nauseated and prac tically an leei a nervous or muscu lar strain after they have been inside this house for an extended length of time. Radio reception Is better inside the area than outside according to testa made by Mr. Lrltster, owner of the property. At one spot in the house a person standing on one side of a crack between boards and fac ing southwest will be leaning back wards with bis weight almost en tirely on his toes. When he steps irrnt thn ernclr ann brines his Teet together again, not more than 1 2 inches advanced, he will still bo leaning backward at the same angle but his weight will be on his heels. .TMrria ixiil nnt neat within this circle but there have been times when they have started nests, worked a roupl days and then have abandoned them. A golf ball or Dome piaeea on a board or table which has been checked as being absolutely level will start rolling of ts own voli tion and continue In motion, without gaining or losing speed, In any di rection except against mag n tie. north. There have been many theories ad vanced by many scientists as to this strange "force" but there are loop holes of doubt present In all that have been Mdvanced so far. Each year thousands of tourists visit and experience the Strang sensations in connection with this phenomena and leave unable to ex plain the reasons for the "cockeyed way In which this "cockeyed house" , acts. a V.F.W.
