What Queer Mummy Lid
4 GOOD deal has been written

4 GOOD deal has been written
~ lately about the malignant
"A mummy at the British museum
-or, rather, the lid of the coffin
that contained the mummy; for, Of
course, there is no mummy in this
particular case. It is merely lid
that is reported to have brought SO
many personal disasters in its train.
A weIl-known physician, who is in
terested in Egyptoiogy, was asked
his opinion concerning the, strange
case Of the mummy of the priestess
that has aroused SO much curious in
terest.
Il think" he said, that the mummy
having been torn to pieces, the spirit
of the priestess strives to remain in
contact with the only material thing
that is left in touch with her, namely,
the lid of the coffin. This is the
opinion of most occultists. The spirit
of the priestess has attached itself to
the case, which is a sort of physical
basis"
But why SO malignant" this au-
thority was asked, "as to bring about,
according to reports. all sorts of dis
asters and accidents to persons at the
present day."
If" he explained, ut is true that
the mummy was torn to pieces it was
b fearful Dissertation, and quite
enough to make the priestess furious.
Some persons who try to get into
communication with her by occult
means say. also, she was very badly
treated and put to death cruelty. OF
this, however, have no proof

Egypt never leaves man after he has

which was brought to England, in
which papyrus was found, the sub
stance Of which was that the person
who desecrated the mummy would be
torn to pieces by ferocious animal
