NO VOTES FOR THE CHARTER Pasadena Will Get Along Same as Before REV. LAUER ON THE MIND Plenty of Church Services to Choose From Today The Water Supply at. the Devil's Gate Inspected—News Notes and Personal Mention Pasadena, Feb. 23.—The charter has gone the way of many bad ami some good things. The document which was pro duced by the board of fifteen freeholders was presented to the voters of the city today, and as predicted by The Herald, met a cold frost. In fact it was snowed under too deep to ever be revived again. The poor thing didn't have a friend at Court, or anywhere else, for that matter. The only pity is that it did not die before it was ever born, and save the city some $1200 expenses incurred in drawing up the charter, advertising and holding the election. The affair lias been an unfor tunate one from the first, and no one seemed to be to blame but tbe Legislature Which promulgated si".!i a clumsy, in effective way of getting a new charter. The total vote t./day was a little over 200, and if any one was brave enough to vote for the charter he has not been discovered yet. A NEW PHILOSOPHY Rev. Lauer Tells o. Recent Discoveries About the Brain Pasadena, Feb. 23. —The first of a series Of lectures upon the New Philosophy of the Mind was delivered in G* A. K. Hah last evening by Hey. Solon Lauer. A large audience was present, and the at tention of all was closely held during the entire lecture, which was a scholarly ef fort in every respect. The speaker held that the old ideas in regard to the mind and its limitations were fast passing away. Recent research into the higher phenomena of mind has shown that its power and scope may not be measured by the old standards. The mind is being considered by the leading thinkersjof the day as energy, its phenomena obeying the known laws of other forms of 'energy. Thought trans mission alone, which has made such rapid advance during the past few years, trans cends the limits of the olii psychology and demands a better theory of mind* All material form has come out of tbe invisible ami, according to science, will again return to the Invisible. The body of man is but a man's presentation of the mind ami as such is under its con trol. Recent experiments in France and Germany by physicians in the treatment of disease by suggestion, has met with unlooked-for results and has opened a wide field for investigation. Under all the conflicting theories as to mind cure there lies a natural law which is susceptible of investigation and scien tific statement. The lecture will be continued on Friday evening next at the same place. Rev. Lauer has made a deep study of this par ticular branch of thought and has pub lished a number of works upon it. The latest is Life and Light From Above. Lee 6t Shcpard, publishers, Boston. THE CHURCHES Where Divine Services Will Be Held Today. The Subjects Pasadena, Keb. 23.—The annual meeting of the Y. M. C.
