    Otto Edler von Graeve (b. 1872), president of the International Divining Association. That's a divining rod he's holding, purportedly able to detect underground water, mines, oil, etc. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Edler_von_Graeve

    He came to the US in 1914

    I started an English Wikipedia version of his entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Edler_von_Graeve
  • Wystan said:
    A familiar term for divining is "water witching." In theory, the loop (or the pointed end of a forked stick) dips down suddenly when water is detected below. Von Graeve is standing on a boat deck (U.S.S. George Washington), so his loop should be going crazy in a minute . . . .
