The Heir OF Blavatsky.

AT Onset, Mass, in agreeable contiguity
to the Wareham oysters. there Is man to
whom the Mahatmas are as familiar as
breathing is. This Onset seer has an astral
messenger service that will take his orders
to the Himalayas. and an astral body that
enables him to HE away into the Etcigken
and have Soma lunch with that ethereal
and busy sprite. the BLAvATsKY. The name
OF this Onset OLCoTT is HENRY B. FoULKE.
1.-THE authorized leader and teacher OF
ancient prehistoric. and modern occultism,
chosen to succeed the late Nine. HELENA

Masters have given Master FOULKE sort

for them in their absence and anybody who
wants to know the secrets OF these awful

enviOus but Master FoULKE has worked too
many wonders not to have explicit trust in
his wondrous science.h his FOULKE lore. so to
speak. He is at Onset for a glorious work,
the continuation and perfection Of the BLA-
vATsKY electric light system: and when the
time comes, he will be prepared to furnish
all the thaumaturgy needed to convince the
scoffer and crafty the hierophant:
"He stands ready when he felcitous moment arrives

We should expect no less of the planetary
spirits. No riding in blood even unto the
horse brides for them. Nofever and fret for
these illustrious tranquillites. no talking
through the hat for these practisers of the
large utterances of the early gods. There
is plenty Of time. The great thing is that

The planetary spirits are swifter than tho

never in a hurry: that would be vulgar
Besides, they know that Master FouLKE

the Mahatma Club. will be at the station
when they arrive.
We like to think OF Master FoULKE in
his seasons of communion with the mighty
visitors from Asia. In the small hours of
the night he may be often seen standing, to
all outward appearances alone. beneath one
of the oaks in our Onset forest; for what
