Can we get online copies from the Canadian Theosophist?

 For people interested in science, one
 theosophist 
 has a little book online with an unusual science
 paradigm 
 - "Ancient & Modern Physcis," Thomas W. Willson,
 gutenberg 
 ebook no. 10773.  He was the "information-guy" and
 librarian 
 for a newspaper for about 30 years.  The copy of I
 have 
 was a gift by Canadian Roy Mitchell to someone, 
 (Mitchell's "The Exile of the Soul" is a great book)
 so he 
 must have thought highly of it.  It was originally
 serialized 
 in "The Canadian Theosophist," and then published by 
 the Blavatsky Institute in 1926.
 
 One thing I remember about it is that Willson
 has 
 some explanation for the reason that some moons and 
 planets (Mercury and our Moon) always keep the same 
 face to the body they are orbiting.  It seems about 
 impossible that this would be so without some force 
 holding them in place,  as just the smallest amount of
 
 random rotation would give them Some relative spin 
 at least, if even once every year or a 100 years, but 
 they don't at all.
