When the breath leaves the temporal

the silly. irresponsible. evil-disposed

absorbed into Nirvana. Some people.
the theosophists say, let their astral
bodies get ahead OF them. Then while
the temporal body is asleep the astral
body goes out on a lark and frequently
gets the temporal body into trouble.
But such case only occurs where the
temporal body has been unduly intimate

think Mrs. Maud Lord Drake is a fake
and has no acquaintance with anything
even so little spiritual as astral bodies.
She is OF the earth. She thinks she can
fool people with spiritualism and she
thinks correctly, she does fool some peo-

motives are mercenary. After life
time devoted to fooling people it goes
without saying that some tricks Of hers
are good ones. and that her audiences
are quite apt t. think her in league
with the spirits. In regard to your
question. II they are real spirits the
astral body may explain their foolish
ness, il they are not real spirits they
probably act as sanely as Madame Drake
can make them. They are children of
her brain and they resemble their
mother.
