ARE THOUGHTS THINGS?
For years superstition existed in the
family of Martin Finken that a giant
oak in frontof the Finken house in
New York state would bring a mishap
to the family. Recently it was deter- j
mined to cut the tree down, and while i
Harry Finken was hewing at it with
an axe, the tree fell with a crash and
killed him. Was it a coincidence, a
happen-so do you think, or was it
foreordained?
