The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1894-12-19

ton Of power was making objects disap-
pear and at once reappea. in another city
at designated place. The following from
one of the letters of Blavatsly to Coulomb
throws some light on this:
They want to tear cigarette paper in two
and keep one half. Roll cigarette
of this half and tie it with II. P. B. s
(Helen p. Blavatsky) hair. Put ii on the
top of the cupboard made by Nunbridge,
to the farthest corner near the wall on the
right.
Another letter of instruction contains
this:
1 believe the handkerchief is a failure.
Everyone here is anxious to see something.
My hair will do we'll on the old tower in
Siam, o. even in Bombay. Select a good
spot and write me at Amritsar poste re-
stante.
Not only this. but the Society for psychi-
cal research in London sent out to India
Mr.. Richard Hodgson. an expert. who in
vestigated the Blavatsky performances
and reported the results, and the commit
tee which examined his report said:
For our own part, we regard her neither
as mouthpiece of hidden seers, nor as a
mere vulgar adventures; we think she
has achieved a title to permanent re-
membrance as one Of the most accom-
plished, ingenious and interesting i'm
posters in history.
Is it probable that people who could be
deceived by the cheap tricks Of such a
fraud as Blavatsky have any supernatural
powers? Not at all, but the evidence in
these exposures shows them the most
credulous Of people, and this is the natural
result of their growing up under the in
fluence Of religions that teach the interfer-
ence with mankind of spirits, demons,
genii, and other supernatural beings. Be
fore modern occultism makes much
progress in this country it will have to
produce much better evidence than it has
yet produced.
But we now have hopes that this de-
sired evidence viii be supplied. For some
years past there has been talk in occult
circles of Koot Hoomi and Morya, two
Mahatmas from MahatmaviLe, who We're
doing wonderful work, but who could not
be definitely located. Now they are found.
Henry B. FouIke and George S. Falken-
stein have sent out a proclamation contain
ing this statement:
We. the Mahatmas, now of America, are
ready to assert that our identity is that
of this age and time At our instigation,
when Nine B-avatsky was in Philadelphia,
she accepted our agency to carry on our
work as our precursor while we were in
a hereditary environment due TO our new
and ate embodiment She was to do so
until we could emerge from our duties
and ,abors as men and take up our
psychic work for the use of the race and
the benefit of mainland at the c.Ose Of this
cycle-the Kala Yuga period of the man
rantar The name Of Koot HoOmi and
Morya are mercy noms de guerre, as has
always been known by the initiated, and
were used to conceal our true location and
identity unit. we were ready to come be-
fore the world in our true capacity.
Now we may expect something worth
seeing. Now we may get past cabinet
tricks. and slate writing, and cigarette and
hair trave.s. Now we may look for some
genuine mahatma work. We want to see
Koot Hoomi and Morya throw ropes into
the air ard Climb up them to the vanishing
point We want to see them chop each
other to pieces and put each other together
again. We want to see them produce full
grown trees where none were before.
Bring on the Mahatmas.
