desperate lunge in the dark to get hold Of
something extraordinary in preparation for
the fate to come, 1 said, Can you teach

1 nevertheless said 1 would chance 1t,
and the astrologer went on. Breath is the
principle of universal life. All things are
possible with 1t. 1t is the pulse of God, the
heart throb of creation. Man is ignorant
of its use, save among the Illumanati, who
constantly employ 1t for the good of hu-
man kind. When the last war between

The Magnetic Eye.
IF you will stop to think" the astrologer
continued, every crisis In your life is met
with the power Of the breath. Does any
thing offer you resistance. you catch
quick, deep breath and meet the enemy
with 'bated BREATH as the saying goes.
Or does anything make demand upon your
sympathy, your breath goes forth and re-

educating the breath you thus become able
to conquer every foe and raise your fallen
friends
