CLEOPATRA STILL LIVES

CHICAGO. May 29.-Cleopatra still
lives in the flesh and is as beautiful
as she ever was when she was
Egypt's fairest Queen; Napoleon is
fairly spelling for new war and is
merely marking time until a great
military leader is needed, and girls
not blessed with beauty on this earth
will be the envy of all in the astral
world.
These and few other startling
revelations were made Monday by A.
Gene Dendrick. delegate to the Amer
lean Philosophical society, meeting
here. About 100 theosophists from
all parts OF the United States, Canada.
Holland and India are in attendance.
Dendrick said while Cleopatra was
still fair she wasn't nearly as wicked
as she was when she vamped Mark
Antony. which may be the result
of contemplation on a manless star
