DESTINY DEPENDS ON
VIBRATION, She SAYS
Dr.. Louise Powell Expounds Psychic
Theory of Life.

"All individuals are masters of their
own dest!nies. and make or mar them."
such is the doctrine expounded by DR..
Louise Cults Powell, in a lecture at the
Portland Hotel yesterday afternoon on
Fate and Destiny" DR.. Powell says
that human vibration is a thing that
can do great good or great harm, ac-
c3rding to the use made of It by the in
dividual.
Some people vibrate happiness and
kind thoughts and others vibrate destruc-
tive thoughts and that all these thoughts
have a way of travelling back to the
originator and either do good or harm
TO the sender of the vibrations"
There are two sides of life, negative
and the positive. Optimistic dispositions
and humanitarianism maze up the positive
side. while on the negative side are the
pessimists and the people who won't let
themselves come out"
Tuesday night. DIR. Powell will lecture
on the law of success vibrations and on
Friday the law of business and marrias se.
