poet Of its tuldlment. The Tribune has
an Ottawa Ontario special, reporting an
interview with Virgins, who stoutly reas-
serts thss q storm will originate in the
Northern Pscifc on the morning Of the

southeas; all along the Atlantic coast on
the afternoon of the 10th snd travel west

from the Rocky Mountain range over tbs
great Canadian lakes about noon on the
18th. Virgins said: Remember, the
storm will begin then snd continue its
work in some poin. OF the world for Eev-
eral days. The falling Of heavy meseors
in the last few days, owing to the increased
attraction and continuous northern lights,
ere signs. You will also have 8 sign in
the enormous tidal wave in the Bay OF
Bengal tomorrow and the increased tides
this afternoon and tomorrow in the At
lantic. Bureaus here and in London laugh
st what they call my nonsense and all my
predictions, but which are simply scien-
tiic deductions. They are overwhelmed
with foods, and these meteorolosisis can't
tell why they were predicted by me last
December. I can show why they were
transferred to America.
The reporter said: Then !ou are posi-
tive the body OF the storm is yet TO come?
Virgins replied: An arm Of the storm
is nov over the South Pacific. You will
certainly see a great storm on Saturday.

spirits ~reboundel. and he returned to the
indulgence Of three square meals a day.
He spplied FOX his two years salary. mile

a Congressman happy, but just as his hand
was ready TO take the prize 3 ~scIupulous

entitled TO the whole SO, 0O0 salary, he
