partment of the army in the Philip
pines.
Two OF his works produced in the
sos were vladimir, the Mystic" and
The Possibility OF Not Dying: a Spec
ulation" The first was a weird but
stirring poem criticised as "a piece
OF mystical writing Of the higher
kind. showing no incOnsiderable skill
and fancy" II was dedicated TO those
who believe in progress and work to
that end.
The second book related to a theory
concerning the possibility Of the at
tainment of such a knowledge OF and
relation to nature and her laws as
would greatly lengthen the span Of
human life.
Prof. Kirk was graduate OF Am
herst College, where he studied for
the ministry. The result. as he fire.

He was also a member
