plague. The Pacific coast will not
suffer anything in comparison with
other portions Of the globe. The co.

and destructive diseases. Three Of

scourge; therefore prepare, that are

In 1920 Mars and Saturn were in

$1,000 inhabitants died in the city
Of Marseilles in less than five weeks.
In 544, 10000 died each day in Con-

bad as it was those times, they will
only approximate the horrors of the
seven years which many Of us are
doomed never to witness. All the
weak and intemperate are sure to
die. There is no escape from the in
exorable plague. Fortunate indeed
are those whose blood is pure and
free from any taint or weakness, for
they alone will survive the wreck of
the human family. The intemper-
ate and weak join hands and go down
to their graves in tens of thousands.
Ancient races will be blotted from
the face of the earth. Asia will be
nearly depopulated, and the islands
that border Asia will suffer frightful.

that join the Northeastern portion
Of Asia will suffer the ravages of the
plague. Russia will be the first Eu.

of her cities are as imperfect as they
are to-day.
The perihelia will bring other af,

will come storms and tidal waves
which willswamp whole cities; earth

and towns; and tornadoes that will
