A LECTURE ON THEosoPHY.
G. W. LeadbeRter Delivers His Sec
ond Address or, the Unseen World.


a second public lecture on theosophy
was delivered by c. w Leadbeater OF
London. under the auspices of the Wash
ington Theosophical Society, last night at
Masonic Hall. Mr. Leadbeater chose for
the subject Of his discourse. The Unseen
World" The speaker discussed the ques-
ton from its scientific standpoint.
The unseen world said Mr.. Leadbea-
ter. lis about US all the time. 1t is not
beyond the stars where we cannot subject
it to the evidences of science. Il is un-
seen because men have not acquired the
power to perceive it. Have we perfect
and definite Information concerning the
unseen world? Undoubtedly we have, in
the accounts of appariuons, and of seers
who have acquired the power TO see.
Science has always acknowledged the
unseen world. Bacteria and other things
are matters unknown to most of the world,
but science has doubted if definite know
ledge was obtainable concerning the other
side of death.
"AIl knowledge concerning the outer
world is obtainable through the action of
vibrations. Vibrations convey the impress
si0us to the senses of sight and of hear
ing by which the greater number of ideas
are impressed upon the mental vision. II
is the brain that Derceives and hears.
The ear and eye are the principal means
of receiving information"
The speaker then considered the scien-
tifc value of vibrations, noting the fact
that certain vibrations when increased or
decreased beyond certain limitations were
unseen or unheard. He also commented
upon the fact that men differed in their
ability to see the limita ti0ns of the ultra
violet in the spectrum. Regarding the
Roentgen rays. he spoke of the vast dff-
ference that the ability to perceive a few
additional vibrations had made In the ex-
tension of human experiences. The ex-
peTiments of spirit photographs. and in
the field of thought photography were
also commented un0n.

THE KNEIsEL CONCERT.
The Quartette Gives supplement

tary Musicale 10 the Winter series.
The concert given by the Kneisel Quar-
tette at the National Rifles Armory last
night was supplementary to the series
given by them during the past season,
and was arranged in response to the de-
mands Of a large number of music lovers.
who were unabke to attend the others.
The programme was very carefully ar
ranged, including a Beethoven quartette,
the TschaikOwsky quartette the andante
cDeath and the Maiden from Schubert's
quartette in D minor, the scherzo from
Mendelssohns quartette in minor, and
solos for Mr.. Kneisel and Mr.. Schroeder.
The string quartette has always been a
favorite medium for the expression OF the
best ideas of the classic masters, and
some Of BeethOven's greatest compost
tions were cast in this form. Although
the work played last night belongs to his
early period, il is very beautiful and was
given with the smoothness, finish. and
perfection for which the Kneisefs are
justly celebrated.
The Beethoven selection formed a strik-
ing contrast in form and contents to the
Ischalkowsky work, which is highly mod
ern IN its theme and treatment The two
excerpts, which have been played several
times before, received polished treatment
All the members Of the quartette are
individually fine artists and their work
Is near perfection as incessant prac-
ttcing and playing together can accom-
plish. Mr.. Schroeder chose for his solo
the Chopin G sharp minor piano study
from opus =, arranged for VioloHcello and
strings. He played IL with rare sympathy
and exquisite finish and was accompanied
by the remaining members of the quar-
tette as was Mr.. kneisel in his solo
Mr. kneiseI gave an excellent Derfor-
nance Of the Bach Air for violin and
string accompaniment Mr.. Kneisers

So far as we have been informed
Gov. Hunt has not appointed a
single active newspaper editor to
any kind of job, not even a little
''thankee posish." AT FIRST blush
this might seem to have an element
of ungratefulness in 1t, but on closer
inspection, this sapposition van
ishes, for when, taking 1t as rulev
have those who have fought the
battles of democracy, ever been re-
membered or considered even, al
the "pie counter?'' Therefore there
is no ungratefulness about it. It's
q time honored custom. There was
a distlnctexceptlon, however, to the
general democratic theory, during
Gov. Steunenberg's- administration.
No Less than half dozen pencil push
ers were among his appointees.
Perhaps 1t IS just as we'll. AT
the rate the democratic editors of
Idaho are vanishing 1t is safe to say
there won't be more than dozen
Of them left by the time the cam
paign is on, and the most of these
will be so thin and weak from a
constant diet of promises, that they
won't cut much Ice.
On the other hand the republicans
are lining up from one to four
papers in every county, and the
county printing and land Office work
is putting them in shape to make
the welkin ring in the next state
contest.
