INVISIBLE BODIES.
East Indians Theories Expanded in
Public Lecture.

Mr. c. Jinarajadasa an East Indian, from
the Island of Ceylon, spoke last night I'M
der the auspices of the Washington Theo-
sophical Society at the Confederate Vet
Grams Hall, 11th and E streets northwest,
on Mans Invisible Bodies. He said in
part:
AN enormous mass of facts has been
collected within the last twenty years
clearly showing that man can live outside
the material body OF flesh and blood. This
of the visible body. How can a man live
outside the body? Here science is quickly
revealing the truth. The advanced ply
sicists now proclaim the existence Of very
fine and invisible conditions of matter, like
electrons and ether Theosophy shows that
this is but a part of the truth
I'VE are in reality surrounded and inter-
penetrated by many worlds OF exceedingly
fine matter. Each man has a body made
of this matter, an astral body made OF
astral matter. and a mind body made of
matter called mental They are in the
shape, OF the visible body, and can be seen
by the sensitive using the faculties of
clairvoyance. A man lives in his astral
body during sleep and can travel to any
part OF the world in it, and remember what
he sees and hears. Some dreams are such
recollections.
After he dies he lives in the same astral
body, which he can often make visible to
people. and then we call our departed
friend a ghost and run away from him.
But ghost is nothing Superna tural, and
investigation shows that ghosts are nor
NAL as ordinary people. There is a great
deal of information on the subject of man s
invisible bodies, and a knowledge of it
of separation, IN life or after death, from
those We love-"

FRICTION NOT SERIOUS.
Explanation Of Conditions Among
Adventists in Michigan.

1.-THE Seventh Day Adventists at Takoma
Park do not anticipate the arrival In the
near future of.8.oOO members of the church,
as was predicted in a telegraphic dispatch
yesterday. from Battle Creek. Mich" said
Mr.. w. w. Prescott. editor of the Advent
Review and Herald, to a representative OF
The Star today.
while there has been some friction, &C.
cording to the dispatch. between Mrs. Ellen
@. White and DR.. John H. Kellogg. superin-
tendent OF the Battle Creek Sanitarium,'
he added 'it was Of very slight charac-
ter and was not a personal affair. but a
question of old and new theology"
It was explained that while there is apt
to be some migration to Takoma Park Of
residents of Battle Creek Mich, II will not
be Of large proportions. The growth at
Battle Creek was gradual for nearly fifty
years. Similar conditions exist at the
present time at Takoma Park, where the
arrival Of adventists from the west has been
gradual since the removal of the headquar-
tiers to this city two years ago.
In 1902 the large sanitarium Of the church
at Battle Creek was destroyed by fire, but
a larger building was erected for this branch
Of the denominations work. In the early
part of January. 1903. the large printing
establishment was destroyed by fire and
was never rebuilt. II was Snortly aIter the
last fire that it was decided to remove the
headquarters to Takoma Park, with the re-
suit that fifty-three acre tract was pur-
chased on the sligo. where colleges. SAM
tariums and numerous other spacious build
ings were erected. Within the past year
five additional acres were purchased in the
central portion of Takoma Park and the
erection of the publishing and printing es-
tablishment commenced The printing plant
was completed last week and the machinery
Is now being installed. The completion of
the plants referred to will furnish employ
ment to adventsts now residing in Battle
Creek, which will be a comparatively small
number.
