Beware of Bed Voices.

Through repeated observations I
have found that the various colors.
either coming from the voice when
people sing or from their bodies in
the form of aura, have the following
meanings:
Starting with red, II the color
is dark, it means that the nature is
passionate, irritable, unquiet, ad-
dicted 10 vice; one OF a low plane
Of living. Medium red, light red,
and rose red, are all improvements
Of the disposition. Light pink means
great sympathy. All philanthropists
have very light pink rays. An orange
ray shows that one is grasping and
ready to get On at the expense of
other.
''Of green tints there are a Iage
variety Of rays. Green is a bad col
or-it means physical or mental dis
turbance. These hues come from
lunatics, persons very iii, and often
hypocrites. This mostly applies to
dark green. Light green implies
versatility, action. growth. and prog
Tess.
Light blue shows religion and
spirituality; a quiet and studious ma
ture; while deep blue usually be-
longs to the scholar. Thinkers.
writer's, and medical men have deep
blue rays coming from them. Work
ing class people are nearly all of
light brown radiation, denoting an
honest and respectable character;
whereas dark brown is bad color,
showing depravity. The darker the
brown, the worse the disposition.
Light gray shows fear and depres-
sion; while dark gray exhibits actual
melancholia. Out of seven cases OF
lunatics examined systematically
two threw off muddy gray rays, and
five, muddy dark green. Purple
means great intellect and intuition.
And thus each ray shows its char
acter. Strange 10 say, the rays
change with the character. I have
known some persons with dark red
rays-meaning bad traits-to re-
form; when, at once their colors win
change to light pink, or blue

Voices Mdg Be Reformed.

Sir Oliver Lodge and other scient-
lists have corresponded with Mrs.
Wilson over her discovery, and seem
to think her theory has something in
it. 1t is confirmed, more or less,
by researches recently conducted in
Paris. IL has long been known that
music has the power Of forming geo
metrical and other figures. Mrs.
Wilson, working along the lines Of
other scientists, has discovered that
voices not only have colors, but that
these colors hetray character She
has made elaborate studies Of many
types of people; even visiting luna
tic asylums and other institutions
where her researches demonstrated
the fact that the same colors always
attached to persons Of similar dispo-
sition.
A singular phenomenon in connec-
ton with voice character by colors
is the fact that one may reform his
voice If a person finds out that he
has an immoral voice-say a black
ish- brown, denoting malice and SEN
suality-he can decide to rectify his
disposition. After a while, if he
preserves in the straight ard mar
row path, his voice will change as
his disposition alters. after six or
eight months hard striving toward
good he may be endowed with
pale reddish-pink voice, which, ae-
cording to Mrs. Wilson, denotes high
unselfish affection; and then later
on, may even attain to the philan-
thropic hue of pale pink, denoting
love for humanity.
