King

LONG BEACH, Dec. 1S.-Eight non
union sailors, in charge of a man who
was taking them from Los Angeles to
the ship ManX King, at the Salt Lake
wharf, San Pedro, were brought here
today and local boatmen were asked
to carry them to the ship. Not wish
ing to incur the ill-will of the union
men at san Pedro, the boatmen de-
clined.
Finally, however. capt. II. w. Dodge
of the Wstrn boat works consented to
take the mn through the inner harbor
to san Pedro in a small launch and
left with them about 2 o'clock. The
man in charge of the nonun1on sea-
men evidently feared trouble if he at
tempted to take them to San Pedro
by electric car and then escort them
to the wharf.

From what we know of the great universe

and always will continue to be full of these
two properties. of which Thought is SUI

schools of superstition. Thought itself

science, experience and reason, and | be-

universe of things as it is in the body of
man. Look upon mans physical form with
out life; it is a cold inanimate statue of
earthen matter. But look again!-you see
the eyes flash, the body moves, talks, rea

dence that intelligent Thought lives and
acts in that physical body.
Thought is Indispensable; 1t sees, hears

judgment, controls action, regulates social
and business intercourses. There is no re-
lation, pursuit, nor position of responsible
ity that does not call Thought into requis-
ton. BY the rapid flight of Thought the

Animals, like pigs, bears, ETC., which have
evolved more or less reason, can see better
when they close their eyes. Preachers
and religious persons always close their
eyes when they want to see things for
Christ's sake, and people with blue eyes
have white skin and the majority of their

thinking correctly for himself, that if we

There exist in the savage and civiliz-
ed races individuals who show quite nor
mally a similar development to that of
some species of the animal kingdom, the
ability to infinitely visualize by an extern
sion of the sight organs or to hear when
the auditory nerve is usually unresponsive,
showing additional though ofttimes rudi-
mentary, powers"
The fact is. the psychic force in man, is
rudimentary, and the more highly organic
ed life form is, the less it receives inform
alton from the psychic forces and the more
it uses its reason.
People look back hundreds of years to
Hindoo wisdom CD and marvel at the evil
dence of their psychic power, when If they
could look still farther back, possibly a
million years. they would be found devoid
of reason and depending on psychic infor-
