ONE PERSON IN TEN
HAS APPARENT AURA
Only One in Fifty Has the
Power to Discern Them
EXPLAINS THE THEORY
Some Scientists Think That Fremont

Less Than Warnings Sent
Out by Auras

After many years of groping in dark
ness the connecting link between the
animal, vegetable. and mineral king
doms is discovered at last Many.
scientists express the opinion that
better understanding of the human
aura will not only revolutionize all
sciences, which they consider incom-
plete because of this heretofore miss
| ing link between them. but will event
ually go far toward explaining the
mystery of life and death.
Nor is that all--it will explain the
psychological causes of light and dark
ness, heat and cold. 1t will explain our
likes and dislikes. friends and enemies,
!. affinities and loves. besides an endless
variety of subjects heretofore viewed
in the light of superstition.
Men and women are beginning to un-
derstand the human aura from an en-
tirely new standpoint. This explains
why one man may influence the world,
gain riches, fame. honor and an equal
ly talented man do nothing 1t was this
knowledge of the human aura that dis
tinguished Solomon from the rest of
mankind.
The aura was well known to the
ancients. The further back we push
our researches the more we find the
ancients knew about the aura 1t was
placed by the earliest painters about
the god head. and latter the saints. In
the strictest sense of the word the
glory confined to the head alone is a
nmbus, and only when it extends
around the entire body is 1T called an
aura.
When Moses came down from the
mountain with two tablets of the law
he had gained by projecting his auratic
body into heaven, "his face shone

to come nigh him lso) ne put
veil on his face"
In the "Petits Bollandistes" we read
that when st. Eleutherius returned to
Journal "a. d. 53D after his miracu-
lous release from prison. as he descend
ed st. Andrews Mount holding aloft
the precious relics, two distinct circles
of glory encompassed his head and all
the people shouted. On his march to
the church a number of sick folk were
healed by coming into the radiance of
his aura. The dumb spake, the deaf
had their hearing restored and many
cripple leaped for joy.
One person out of every 10 has an
aura visible to the human eye. But
aura.
No Doubt of Existence
Dr. Walter j. Filmer, in his recent
book on 1.-The Human Atmosphere or
the Aura Made Visible by the Aid of
Chemical Screens, says;
."As long as the faculty of perceiving
the aura is confined to few individuals
and ordinary people have no means of
confederation or refutation, the door to
fe.<
the case up to the present time the sub
ject has always been looked on askance
but there is no more charlatanism in the
detection of the human aura by the
methods we employ than by distinguish
ing microbes by the aid of the micro
| scope.
.erhere cannot be the smallest doubt as
to the reality of the existence of an
aura enveoping human beings, and this
will be in a short time a Universally
accepted fact. no wthat it can be made
visible to any one possessing normal
eyesght
.It would be strange If the aura did
not vary under different circumstances,
and we firmly believe that study of
its notifications will show that they
have diagnostic value
The changing of auras might explain
many divorce cases. When a person s
aura assumes new color, it may be
one that is not in harmony with the
aura of the husband or wife, as the case
may be. 1t often happens we meet an
old friend after years of separation to
find that we have nothing in common.
All this simply means our auras are not
| in harmony.
| Some scientists have advanced the the
ory that premonitions are nothing more
nor less than warnings sent out by our
auratic waves.

attaching themselves to other people, and
among artists especially there are apt
to be floating auratic waves of other de-

ual recognition of and power to assimi-

with noted author who claims to have
given a home to the aura of Edgar Al

for many years prior to Ianiers death.
Insane infatuations that suddenly
spring up between people of strong tenn
peraments at first sight are simply a
uniting of their auras; the stronger alb
serbs the weaker, and the two distinct
auras become one In many cases death
ensues to the one and the other has his
aura enlarged But If both continue to
live. this compound aura gradually unites
the two souls completely, either in mar
riage. or If the bodies are Of the same
sex in business.
Differs With Persons
Different persons have different colored
auras; even certain professions are filed
with people of similarly colored auras
The aura of Sarah Bernhardt is of a
wonderfully rich maroon color and seems
to float up from her body, forming it.

head. She claims to see one of the stars
in the circlet which has been her con-
stant guide all through her varied and
wonderful life.
Paderewski has grayish steel aura

arms. very similar In appearance to the
auras painted by certain old masters
around the Christ head. Many people
have become startled at beholding the
