STORM WATER.
The construction of storm water
drains Is recommended in many places
for protection from the floods of water
that pour down the sides OF the streets
during rains. A suitable place should
be provided for dumping garbage. The
superintendent says the banks of the
arroyo and other washes should not
be used for such purposes. Another
matter for examination is the. sewers.
On many streets only small number
of property owners have made attach
ments and 1t Is therefore necessary to
continually flush the main pipes. If
the property owners could be induced
to generally connect with the pipes the
cleanliness of the sewers would be
greatly inhanced, and the mains would
not have to be flushed so frequently.
thus saving considerable water. The
western part OF the city in the vicinity
of Kersington and Howard streets
needs a sewer which the superintendent
recommends putting in.
PHILOSOPHICAL.
AT the meeting of the Pasadena
branch of the Theosophical society this
evening DR.. G. f. Mohn OF Los Angeles
was the speaker, and his subject, The
Mystery of Death" All religions tell of
hereafter. The Catholic believes in an
intermediate state between heaven"
and HELL" where the soul of the dead
is purified or before IT enters into eter-
nal peace. This is the nearest OF the
conceptions of exoteric religion to the
Theosophicai teaching of the state after
death. called kama loka by the Hindoos.
In reality, death is but sleep. in which
the dreams are beautiful or horrible, ac-
cording to our acts and thoughts during
life. In kama loka the dreams VIII be
chaotic. but in devachan Cor heaven)
they will be beautiful and pleasant.
There all our highest thoughts and aspi-
rations. our desire for wisdom. our lofty
ideals, will be realized in happy dreams.
But the soul which has lived upon the
material plane. and has there created
strong affinities for the grossly ply
seal pleasures of life," will be unable 10
enter into devachan until these have
lcosened their hold. After the ego has
assimifated and digested the experiences
of the last earth life. its existence on the
earth, until such time as it has exhausted
existence and has overcome the lower
nature completely. Then, as said in the
book of Revelations, Him that over
cometh will l make pillar in the temple
of my God, and he shall no more go out"
in other words. shall cease to be in
carcerated in flesh upon this earth.
