OCCULT DEVELOPMENT.
CIaIrvoyHRcc and ClaIraudIance

The first OF these centers, that at the
base Of the spine, is the home of that
mysterious force called the serpent-fire.
This force exists on all planes, and by
its activity the rest OF the centers are
aroused. We must think of the astral
body as having been originally an al
most inert mass, with nothing but the
vaguest consciousness. with no definite
power OF doing anything, and no clear
knowledge OF the world which surrounded
II. The first thing that happened, then,
was the awakening Of that force in the
man at the astral level. When awakened
IL moved on to the second center, cor
responding to the navel and vivified II,
thereby awakening in the astral body tho
power Of feeIing-a sensitiveness to all
sorts OF influences. though without as yet
anything like the definite comprehension
that comes from seeing or hearing
Then Il moved on to the third, That cor
responding to the physical spleen, and

powers.
When the seventh center is awakened
the man is able by passing through il to
leave his body in full consciousness. and
also to return to il without the usual
break. so that his consciousness will be
continuous through night and day. When
the serpent-ire has been passed through
all these centers in a certain order (which
varies for different types OF people) the
consciousness becomes continuous up to
the entry into the heaven-world at the
end of the life on the astral plane, no diff
ference being made by either the tenn
porary separation from the physical body

Lowest Cotton Crop
Since Year 1907

Washington, June 1.-The condition of
the cotton crop of the country is the low
est since 1871 with the exception of 1903
and 1907, the department of agriculture
announced today. issuing statistics
showing the condition on May % as 74.3
per cent. of a normal. or Z per cent. be-
low the 10-year average.
The low condition of the crop. it was
said. was due largely to excessive rains
and exceptionally cool nights in central
and northern Texas, eastern and south
ern oklahoma and southwestern Arkan-
sas, which brought the condition per
centage in those states down to g. 6S and
70 respectively In Texas many farmers
were obliged to replant several times.
No estimate of theacreage planted to
cotton has been made by the department
and will not be made until July 81.
Unofficial estimates have placed it
from 35 per cent. decrease to / per cent.

AS Passengers
Brig. Gen. Funston uniformed
Mystery Surrounds StaierOOmS

Vera Cruz, June i.-Coincident with
the sailing of the Hamburg American
steamer Ypiranga late today, rumors
were circulated that Sonora Huerta
and her four sons were aboard the
ship. The Ypiranga cleared for Europe
by way of Havana As she left the
harbor the German cruistr Dresden
followed her to sea. There was a re-
port also that the liners destination
was Puerto Mexico.
Neither Brig Gen. Funston nor any
other army or navy officer heard the
rumor that some of the Huerta fam
lily were aboard the Ypiranga until
after the steamer had sailed.
There was an element OF mystery in
eight locked staterooms, which were
originally reserved for DR. Urrutia, the
former minister of the interior, and
although he had proceeded to the United
States aboard the transport Hancock.
According to the reports Sonora Huerta
and her sons went to Puerto Mexico
They boarded the Ypriranga when she
was being unloaded and remained in Sc
clusion during the steamers stay here.
A report from the capital had 1t that
President Huerta himself had left for
Puerto Mexico several days ago in a
sleeping car. These reports are gener-
ally discredited here.

LEAVING PORTLAND.
Col. F. e. Boothby to Reside Hereafter
In WaterevlIe.
National Hotel Report)

On May 1, 1877, Frederick E. Booth
by, who at that time and for many
successive years occupied the position
of general passenger and ticket agent
of the Maine Central Railroad Com
panv, began occupying. with Mrs.
Boothby. a handsome suite of apart
ments in the Falmouth Hotel at Port
land. 1t was on that date that Orrin
NJ Shaw, long since deceased, and for
many years proprietor of the Bangor
House at Bangor. Maine, became the
lessee and manager of the Falmouth,
which was then the leading hotel of
Portland and the finest in the State.
The Falmouth has, during the thir-
ty-seven intervening years between
1877 and 1914, had many proprietors
and managers, but Colonel and Mrs.
Boothby have continued to occupy
their suite in the hotel, without inter-
mission, during this very lengthy pc
fiod.
Now, however, they, are moving out
of the hotel and will repair to the told
homestead" in Waterville, Me, there
to SPEND their declining years sur
rounded by old friends and acquaint-
ances, and possessing the respect and
affection of many admiring and af-
fectionate friends, scattered through
out the length and breadth of the Pine
Tree State.
Both Colonel and Mrs. Boothby were
born in Waterville and their youthful
days were spent in the pleasant uni
versity town. Mrs Boothby was the
daughter of Waterville's leading ho-
tel keeper, and Mr.. Boothby entered
the employ OF the Maine Central Rail-
road company at an early age and
while still resident of Waterville.
They have a delightful home there,
which they will henceforth occupy and
where it is hoped they may spend
many happy hours in peace and con-
tentment.
During the nearly four decades that
Colonel Boothby has resided in Port
land, many deserved honors have come
to him He was twice elected mayor
of the city, and one or Portland 8
parks was named in his honor. Last
fall he was elected a director of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States of America and this year he has
run as a candidate for the Legislature
on the Republican ticket from the
Portland district, so that the Forest
City will remain lis legal residence for
the next year.
Colonel Boothby's home address
from now on, however, will be NO. ia

BELIEVE BABY FOUND
DROWNED IN HARbOR
VICTIM OF MURDER

Portland, Me, June THAT the in
FAINT child whose body was found in
the waters of the harbor near Port
land bridge several days ago was muir
dered is the belief of county officials
who have been prominent in the in
vestigation of the case. The coroner's
jury empanelled by Coroner Fred w
B. Martin will hold a second session
in the county building this afternoon
at and probably will return its ver-
dict That verdict is likely to be that
the baby came to it's death by being
murdered.
The investigation has disclosed, ii
is said, that the baby was strangled
with the strings of its little bonnet,
and was dead before it was thrown
into the water The bonnet was pulled
down over the infants head, and tht
strings were tied tightly Aabout the
throat and neck, closing the wind
pipe.
The case seems to present a puz-
cling problem for the investigating Of
ficers. The only means or mark of
identification was the laundry mark,
and so far search of all the laundries
in town has failed to reveal the mark
which was on the baby's clothes.
