will pause and give some attention 10
the direction and formation of those
thoughts.
The aim of Theosophic training is
to enable one TO understand the nature
and workings Of thought and, by I'M
derstanding. to acquire control of it.
Thought is the action of mind and the
mind for the time being takes the
form of the thought Therefore, if
one thinks fear he becomes fear and
all the functions of life are affected
by that fear. If he thinks thoughts
of courage he becomes courageous.
Continual thoughts of unselfish love
and helpfulness will form at length
the hero. As habit of thought will
mould features-and we cannot deny
this fact-so it builds over the physi-
cal molecules until the body responds
to the thought. We see this process
| going on in the training of artists
| and workers of all kinds. The con-
scious thought of today becomes the
unconscious thought of tomorrow and
| this unconscious thought becomes au-
| tomato in the bodily mechanism.
Then we should not say: The spirit
is willing but the flesh is weak but
reconstructed will readily, willingly
obey the spirit
The thought of the world today is
| fevered and restless. 1t has centered
itself upon gain, selfish greed and
self-indulgence. Education Grams the
mind with facts,-with other peoples
| thoughts-but it fails to teach the
method by which one can become
master of ones own mind and bar the
door to unwelcome thoughts. Educa-
ton does not yet say by your
thoughts you can make yourself
healthy, strong, helpful, happy" yet
this is the fact. Heaven and hell are
mental states and not localities. We
must help turn the thought of human
ity from external, physical things, to
| Spiritual 11Sip SohiCH
from within not from without. If
we take care of our thoughts, acts will
take care of themselves for act is
born of thought.
1t is difficult to get rid of fear, anger
anxiety, and Impotence or of greed
ambition, frivolity and doubt; but WE
cannot be truly healthy nor happy unit
we do. Neither can the world make
much progress; for our thoughts &C
forth messengers of good or tempterS
to evil. By our unheeded thoughts we
help the murderer to murder, the thie1
to steal-or we help the thinker tt
write his book, the martyr to triumph
the hero to proclaim the truth.
Our thoughts are living things. o.
them and with them we build our
selves and the world.

SPANS NAVAL LOSS.
Thirty-Five of Her Vessels Destroyed
or Captured.

SPANS navy has been practical
ly cut down one-half by the war with
the United States, says the Philadel-
phia Press. Half of her eight second
class battle ships and armored cruis-
ers have been sunk, with three of her
five unarmored cruisers of over 5000
tons and four of her eight unarmored
cruisers of 1000 to 5000 tons. OF the
twenty-five large vessels that consti-
tuted, on paper and with some stretch
mig of the imagination, the fighting
ships of SPANS navy, eleven were de-
molished by the terrific fire of Dew
ey's and SIMPSONS fleets.
The total tonnage of her supposed
available cruisers and battle ships at
the beginning of the war was 1880.
The total tonnage left to her at this
time is 69,950, which is contained. in
large part by obsolete vessels or small
cruisers of little value. The vessels
lost to Spain since the war began
number thirty-five, with total ton

CENSOR FOR HAITIEN CABLE.
United States Controls COmmunIca-
tiOn with Puerto Rico.

New York, May l.--Brigadier Genral
A. w. Greely, head of the signal corps of
the war department lis in the city. He
did not visit the army headquarters on
Governors Island, but Lieutenant j. T..
Maxfield, of the signal department, was
in conversation with him.
1t was learned afterward that General
Greedy assigned Lieutenant Maxfeld to
the duty of exercising censorship for the
government over the cable to Haiti.
This fact, in connection with the report
that an invasion of Puerto Rico is con.
templated as well as of Cuba, was re,
gardede as extremely significant in army
circles. 1t was said by an officer:
at looks as if the placing of a censor
ship over the Haitien cable which leads
to Puerto Rico means blow at the Span
iards in Puerto Rico as well as in Cuba.
The seizure of the Spaniards, base of sup
plies at Puerto Rico before the Spanish
fleet arrives would do more to kill their
operations on this side of the ocean than
anything else that would be done. The
preparations to transport troops to Tampa
means that the actual invasion of the
Spanish possessions is not to be put off
until after the rainy season."

spokane Responds 20 the Nations
First Call For Volunteers.

Spokane, Wash, April 30.-Five thous-
and people gathered about the Northern
Pacific depot at no1n today to bid fare
well to the boys Of Company B and Bat
terry A, who started this afternoon to
Tacoma on a special train. 1t has been
great day with the people of Spokane
Early this morning they began assembling
on Riverside avenue hoping to catch a
glimpse Of the members of the two militia
companies whom it was understood had
been ordered to leave this afternoon. Very
little business had been transacted tday
The stores have been open, but it has
been more to give the people a chance
TO come in and sit down while they We're
waiting for the parade than because the
proprietors expected or desired to do any
business.
The order from Governor Rogers came
last evening directing both companies to
be prepared to move on speciai North
ern Pacific train at o'clock, taking with
them all their camp equipments. The order
sent thrill through the ranks Of the two
companies, but il caused perhaps more
excitement among the friends Of the boys
than among the volunteers themselves.

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
Islands to De Placed Under United
States Protection.

New York, April 30.-A special to the
Press from Washington says:
When President Dole of Hawaii left
this country recently after his visit to
aid in the annexation proceedings before
congress he carried with him the draft
Of bill which promises to make history.
1t is for passage by the Hawaiian con-
gress and provides, in the event of war
in which the United States may need the
Hawaiian islands for base of supplies,
that the islands shall be put under the
protection of the American flag.
1t was prepared with the knowledge OF
members of the senate committee on for.
eign relations and had the approval of the
administration on certain conditions. One
condition was that it should not be sub
mitted to the Hawaiian congress unless
there was a war.
When President Dole left this country
war with Spain had not been declared,
but was deemed probable. No conditions
are to be imposed on the United States
should the Amedican flag be raised over
the islands. If consideration was NAM
ed an appropriation would be required
which would need congressional action
and probably cause complications.
A majority Of the senate and house are
in favor of the annexation of Hawaii and
the project has failed so far only through
lack of the necessary two-thirds vote in
the upper body. In an emergency the
president of the United States can exer-
else what is known as the "war power.
He con accept the privilege granted by
the Hawaiian government for base OF
supplies in the Pacific ocean and to guard
the island completely the flag OF the
United States would be raised as a bar.
rier against which foreign meddling would
not be permitted.
1t would not surprise well-informed ma
tional legislators to hear by the next
steamer from Honolulu either a confrma-
tion or strong indication of the fulfill
ment Of this important news. The opera
tions of Commodore Dewey in the Philip
pines are significant in connection with
the expected establishment of a protector
ate or sovereignty over Hawaii.

PANAMA'S WARLIKE CARGO.
The Seized Spanish Steamer Laden
With War Material.

New York, May l.-Discoveries have
been made on the captured Spanish
steamer Panama which makes it very
improbable that she will ever be returned
to Spain, whatever disposition may be
made of the Buena Ventura and other
prizes taken, says the Key West cores
pondent of the Herald.
The prize commission has discovered 200
new Mauser rifles and a large consign-
ment of swords and bayonets, besides a
quantity of fixed ammunition for the Pan
ama's 4 Ia FOUNDER guns, which she might
have used to blow her captor, the Man
grove, out of the water, but did not
The Panama's captain had refused to
admit that his cargo included any contra
baud of war. 1t is believed that further
search will reval many more weapons
and possibly more ammunition. The prize
commissioners also found papers tending
to show that certain of the Panama's
passengers and old New York Spaniards
had been actively engaged in plans for
aiding the Spanish of Cuba in getting
arms, ammunition and supplies.
The discovery of these documents has
already led to an order from Washington
to hold as prisoners of war large num-
ber of the passengers of the Panama.

United States federal authorities, one of
the marine guards hauled down the Span

under the stars and stripes and announced
his intention of keeping the Spanish flag
as souvenir. He has been sharply re-
primanded and compelled to restore the
flag to its place as it is rightfully there
until the prize court condemns the ship.
The only excuse the marine gave for his
action was that he did not think the
Spaniards should be permitted to fly their
flag in Key West barber.
