TUCSON'S IMPROVEMENT.

Tucson Star: Chas. F. Hoff has lately returned from San Francisco, where he went to look over equip ments for the proposed street railway and to make arrangements for an ex- tension of the telephone service in Tncson. As a result of his "trip the Sunset people will double the capacity of the exchange by putting in another switchboard The telephone poles now in use will be replaced by longer and more ornamental ones, which will be planted to conform to the change in the sidewalks made since the poles were erected. MT. Hoff made a selee- tion of stock for the railway and the purchase of it will be made immediate ly upon the granting of the franchise, which will likely be done at the next meeting of the council.

prone to relegate them. When such men take
hold OF them they undoubtedly receive that
intelilgent scrutiny and accuracy OF observa-
ton to which their importance entities them.
DR.. W. w. Gamble, the theosophical
lecturer and writer, said:
This is merely a confirmation of what the
osophists have long known and taught 1t is
mighty important, however, to the Western
world, and coming from the source it does IL
should carry great weight. These experiments
are corroborative of those recently made by
Dr. Baradue in Paris and explained at some
length q few weeks since In THE SUNDAY CALL
1t is a scientific demonstration of the astral
plane, and DR.. Jordan himself recognizes that.
From the way in which ii was done l should
say they did actually succeed in photograph
ing thought-ma terialized thought. We claim
that the whole universe is merely materlaliZed

lives in his own thought, peoples the space
around him with the Images OF his own crea-
ton.
The universe is all built up of thought.
objectionized on this plane. Our after death
lie is actually a contem plation of those
thoughts we have created. We see, alter
death, the actual process by which these
thoughts of ours are formed into astral pict-
ures Every thought we have is actually
photographed in the astral ligbt-that plastic
body surrounding and interpenetrating the
world and known to the scientist as ether.
This is the great negative plate of nature
spoken OF in DR.. Jordan's article. 1t receives
all the impressions OF thought.
From that negative plate of nature these
thoughts are in time developed into ma
terial objects. OF course those objects take
various forms; some are built up plants,
trees; others as animals, and, In fact the
whole earth itself is built up of the thoughts
OF men. What we cali the astral light is really
natures great workshop.
Thoughts are real things and there should
be nothing very strange in the discovery that
they can be photographed. Not only do we
form images OF all that surround us, by our
thoughts, live as IL were among our thoughts,
but man actually creates the model of his own
body around which the physical cells are
upon which his building is erected. We LOOK
around San Francisco and see the whole
nature of the landscape changed by the archi-
men, and in this way, on other planes, in fact.
does man surround himself with the creations
OF his own thought.
Professor George Davidson, looking at
the discovery as related by DR.. Jordan
from the point of view of strictly scien-
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-09-07

The very lowest astral matter merges
directly into the highest physical. There are
no breaks in nature. The jellyfsh is an ex
ample OF almost pure astral substance. The
visions we see in dreams are the creations of
our thoughts out of this same astral substance,
and remain just so long as the dreaming i'm
aglnatton holds them intact-and they may
one day be photographed. The materializa-
t1ons OF mediums are only concentrations of
the same astral matter down so close to the
physical that they can be plainly seen by the
naked eye and of course could be easily photo
graphed.
That which the Alcalde Club has accom-
pllshed through the power of their united
wills has been the condensation of an imuge
formed by thought in the astral matter and
brought within the range of those chemical
rays, to which the photoe raphic plate re-
spends ana precipitated upon it. Astrono-
mers, as Professor Jordan well knows, have
succeeded in photographing millions of stars
invisible to the naked eye, simply because the
sensitized plate records these higher vibra-
tions.
Thought has not been photographed. nor
will ii ever be, but the form which the thought
oubtedly produces in the astral matter
has been in this and many other instances.
Such experiments are most useful, because
they all tend TO break down that materialist tic
conception oil the universe which even science
itself has been at so much pains to solve
Between the point where the ear no longer
recognizes vibrations as sound and the point
where those same vibrations reappear as light
there lies great hiatus for the human mind
to explore. Every portion of it is unquestion-
ably discoverable. Whether this will be done
by scientific instruments of precision, or, as
theosophy claims, by the evolution of more
perfect or new sense faculties cuts little fig
ure. Every one who has developed to the
slightest degree his psychic has entered it.
Every scientist who inyents an instrument
capable OF detecting and recording these
higher vibrations has also entered it and both
ought to be co-workers in this unknown field
OF future possibilities. All such experiments,
therefore, are 10 be welcomed, and by the
theosophist they are, for they are the direct
scientific proof of his theories. That these ex-
periments have attracted the attention of a
scientist of DR.. Jordan's worldwide reputation
is a fact for which humanity may be grateful.
Itremoves such things entirely from the do
main of superstition and charlatanry, to
which scientists have heretofore been only too

cat and that 1t viii be found to be an ideo-
morphic germ, or centrum, where the co-or-
dlnate thought of the cat has first impinged
on the plate, and from which the image of the
cat has concentricaIly arisen.
Meanwhile the cat OF Mr.. Thompson, the
Janitor, who alone could answer the question
lay in the darkness under the warm stoye and
purred softly.
The composite photograph which Presi-
dent Jordan furnished the Popular Sci
ence Monthly appears with this article in
The CALL. The whole experiment has at
tracted considerable attention In local
circles. Whether materialist, spiritnaIist
or theosophist, the average thinker mar
vels, as well he may, at the strange reve-
lations thus gravely announced by the
sage of Stanford.
The article of DR.. Jordon has been
widely read and commented on by men of
scientific attachments. The following in
terviews show their opinions.
Or. Jerome Anderson, who is widely
known through his prominent position in
the Iheosophlcal Society, regards the dis
covery as clear advance in science and
also corroboration OF the theosuphical
theory. He said:
The experiments conducted by the Alcalde
Glup, as mentioned by DR.. Jordan in the Popu-
Iar science Monthly, in which the club sue
ceeded IN producing the composite picture of

LIVED FOR CHARITY.
Rev. Edward p. Dempsey Speaks OF the
Good Work of Saint Vincent
de Paul.


Rev. Edward P. Dempsey delivered a
discourse last evening at the conclusion
of vespers upon the life and labors of st.
Vincent de Paul. The subject of the SER
mon was a priest of the seventeenth CEN
fury, who devoted his entire life to the
alienation OF human suffering. Through
his !abcrs numerous asylums, homes for
the aged and other charitable institutions
were founded throughout France. He also
instituted the order of the Sisters of
Charity, whose ministrations to-day re-
lieve the poor and the suffering in every
land.
The Saint Vincent de Paul Society, a
large branch of which exists in this City,
is devoted to the charities advocated by
it's patron and Father Dempsey made
Cathedral congregation to become con.
tributing members of this society
You who are surrounded by everything
you need" he said, "know nothing of
these people who are so poor-but they
exist in the parish.
The charity of this kind is the kind
that the Almighty God wants of US. The
charity that does something practical for
the poor is the charity of Christ. Would
that the spirit OF st. Vincent would find
an active, jealous place in every mem Der
here. Remem ber the Scriptures from
beginning to end are filed with promises
to those who follow the practices of which
st. Vincent de Paul is an exem plar. Re-
member that even a glass of water given
in his name will not be unrewarded. We
will never miss it. Remember, we are
brothers and sisters of the same God"

KILLED.

A man by the name OF Sherood, aged
about 81 years, was killed about 5
o'clock Saturday evening ut Ed Harri-
mans ranch at st. Clair, where he WAS
employed rs ranch hand. The full
particulars Of the accident are not
known and possibly never will be, but
the supposition is that Sherood's death
was caused by runaway, and that he
had just driven up to hay stack TO load
some hay to feed, had taken his position
on the stack TO pitch the hay
on the wagon, when the team started.
He desiring to stop the team jumped
from the stack down in front of the
borses and was hurled under their feet
and when the wheel reached his head it
acted as shoe taking all the skin off
the lower side Of the face and when the
wheel passed over his head it crushed
his skull. The team ran to the barn
and as soon as they were noticed, search
was made for the driver who must have
died instantly.
Mr.. Sberood was highly respected by
all who knew him. He has only been
here from the State OF Iowa since
December as has his companions who
came ont here with him, Messrs Baker,
Houk and Miller. Little thought they
that such fate would befall one of them
80 soon when they passed through Wads
worth for St. Clair. The funeral tool
