or something of the kind.
Well. inasmuch as Egypt and India
have been the headquarters of the
: Mahatmas for so many centuries and
! those countries are becoming in many
ways little behind the times. many
progressive Mahatmas have followed
! the course of the sun and have come
westward. II was only very recently
| that California was considered one
OF the most occult portions of the
I world. in view of the westward march
of empire. San Diego was distinctly

concerning a School for the Revival

matter of fact it was established

Iona is said to have been the site
of a great temple of a great people
thousands of years before the dis
! eoyery of America. No very great

/ gard to Point Iona and so the Ma
hatmas are looking for other and
| more popular sites for a school or
temple.
There is Mahatma in Honolulu
today. then, seriously considering
Punchbowl as site for a temple of
occult lore. Unlike the Russian who
was looking for facts and Information
for his government. this Mahatma
does not dine at Chinese restaurants,
nor does he ride in Pains tram cars:
this latter fact goes far to prove that
| he is genuine Mahatma. He lives for
| the most part on fruit and herbs and
frequents the extinct crater of Punch
bowl Habeas corpus proceedings
don't bother him at all. nor is he wor-
rying much about the constitution
following the flag or vice versa.
Even If he were indicted by a grand
jury for conspiring against the wills
| OF persons less advanced than him
self and his body was ordered brought
before court, the sheriff would as
likely as not produce the Mahatma's
astral body while the physical body
of the seer would be comfortably
sleeping in the lantana bushes on the
slopes of Punchbowl. You can't hang
an astral body, you know, the hang
man wouldn't have ghost of a show
At latest reports the Mahatma had |
formed the poi eating habit and was
getting fat. He is here as a pioneer |
among Mahatmas and is looking over |
the land with a view to future pos
sibilities. Hawaii is such an impor- |
tant center in this part of the world |
that great things will happen in and |
around il. Mahatmas are stationed |
where they are most needed One is |
needed very much here
Coming down to things more prac- |
teal in the eyes of the people. there |
are persons now in Honolulu who will |
materially benefit the city's inter
ests.
Among the most interesting is a |
man who contemplates getting up a |
great fair in Honolulu It won't be |
worlds fair. that will come later. |
but it will be the First International |
Exposition of the Pacific: that is |
what he calls it now.
All countries OF the world will be |
invited to contribute but China. Japan. |
the Philippines. Australia. New Tea |
land. the United States. Mexico. Cana |
da. Russia. Alaska. Samoa and all /
the islands of the Pacific Ocean viii |
be the chief contributors.
The exposition buildings are to be /
erected where old Chinatown stood /
before the fire and KaumakapiIf /
church. the ruins thereof. will be a
part OF the Hawaiian exhibit
There is to be a midway for the |
special benefit OF native Hawaiians
Here. by paying the small sum OF 4 /
dime. a Hawaiian can witness some
of the questionable pranks of people l
back East who think. after they have /
visited the Pan-American Exposition. /
