Smyrna times., 1866-01-31

Some one, curious in the statistics of fatali-
ty, has been making calculations to show that
Napoleon I'LL will come to his downfall in
1869. The calculations are founded on some
very odd condolences Of dates, which we will
try to explain. In the first place, they take
the dates of the principal events in the history
of Louis Philippe and his Queen, which they
group together so as to sum up 1913, the year
of his downfall. Thus Louis Philippe was
born in l773 and assembled the throne in 1890
Now in 1880 add separately the figures /, :, :,
3, of his birth date, and they make 1913, thus:
1880 and l and and and make 1913. The
same result is reached if We take the year Of
his marriage. That event occurred in 1869,
and he ascended the throne in 1880. Now
1880 and and and . and make 1918 =
Again, if we take the date of his Queen
birth 1852, and go through the same process
-lS20 and and 7 and and ,, we arrive at the
same fatal year, 1913, in which he lost his
throne.
The second part of the calculation is this =
Napoleon Ill. was born in lS0S, and assembled
the throne in 1852. Now, if we start with
| 1882 and add the separate figures in hiS birth
year, We come to lS69-tor 1852 and | and 8
and 0 and make 1869. So, too, Of his En.
press Eugene was born in 1926 Taking
the dare Of his ascent to the throne in lS52, We
have 1852 and ! and and and 6--agln
! bringing us to the fatal 1869. lie married
! Eugene in 1858, and taking the year l>j2 and
adding the separate figures of his marriage
year, and it still points to 1863 Thus lSj2
/ and and and and make 1869. In fact,
these French historical dates are full of such
curious Indications Robtspicrre fell in 1874
Taking that date and adding the separate fig
urcs Of it as above, and we have Ireland
and and and 4-making the date Of Nalo-
1 leon 5 fall 1878. Pursuing the same mcthuI,
We take 1873, and and and and s. max
| ing 1880, the date of Charles y. >t fall. Going
on to lS4S, the date Of Louis Phippc'> down
fall, and we find that 1912 and and : and 4
and brings us once more to the fatal 1859.
But there is still another fatality attending
these French dynastics, which is put in form
Scrcnteelt years was the limit OF the supremacy
Of Napoleon |. i; Serentee, years the restored
| BourbonS resigned Screnteel years Louis Phil
lippe occupied the throne and the saline Scren
teen years being accorded to Napoleon Ill, i
carries him to the same fated 1869 as the enC
of his career Aud this fatal seventeen is ais,
produced by strange condolences. Taking tn,
figures in the year of his birth, 1908, and ad
ding them up thus, and 8 and . and s. ant
they sum up II taking the tigur 5 IN the yea
Of the Empress birth, lN26 and adding them
and 5 and aud 6, and they also make II
then taking the figures in the year OF his mar
riage, 1858, aud and and 3, and they like
wise foot up II.
These condolences are extraordinary cnougl
to set the wonder mOngers at work, and som
of them see the finger of fate in it all. And
not untrequenty happens that such shadow
prophecies set influences in motion that enabl
them to work out their own fuihIment Th
Bonapartes are all confirmed fataliSts, an
; these things may cause the present head ofth
family great many anxietics about 1862
