IT'S A QUEER WORLD

HONOLULU, T. H.-The startling theory that human life may have originated from micro organisms found in sunlight, and that human beings may have passed through a long series of evolutions, including perhaps dogs and horses before arriv- ing at the present stage, has been pro- nounced here by Miss E. Evelyn Whi- tell, noted New Thought lecturer.
 Miss Whitell teaches the belief that the human soul returns to earth time after time, adding during each stay on earth to its store of knowledge, and returning each time on higher or lower plane, according to the amount of good which existence got out of previous existences on earth. It is upon this assumption that the theory of gradual development through lower forms of animal life is based, according to the lecturer.

 Charlie Hillebrandt says the mean est trick he ever saw played was on the U. s. mail service. It was up in Idaho, where a farmer who had a contract to deliver large amount of wheat to buyer 60 miles away by a certain date was unable because of heavy fall of snow to deliver it by automobile truck, as he had intended. Across the divide, the other town was 60 miles distant. Around the noun tain by rail, it was 200 miles distant. He had to ship by train and figured out that the parcel post rate was low CT than freight, so cut his sacks in two and shipped it all parcel post, on- ly having to pay for 50 miles, parcel post zones being figured in straight lines between points.
