How the Popes Were Foretold Hun

There Is a strange story extRnt regarding
a prophet of the Catholic church named
Malachi, who furnished way back in the
eleventh century OF the Christian era.
These prophecies of Malachi foretell in a
short epigrammatie form the character
and something of the achievements of the
various Popes who will fill ST. Peters chair
until the end Of the world.
1t is curious. 10 say the least of 1t. says
commentator, to observe how truly these
prophecies have been so far fulfilled.
The present dignitary WAS to be, accord

from heaven. This Characterization seemed
at first puzziug to certain minds. and many
believed it would shatter all vestige of faith
in the other foretelings OF the prophet.
Such was not to be. however. An inspec-
ton of the c0at-of-arms Of Cardinal Pecci
revealed the presence of comet. whole and

literal significance of the phrase.
Thus the prophecy allotted to Leo would
fully Justify Malachi's word delivered some
1000 years before.

Some practical facts are furnished by the

little under the height Of Mont Blanc, but 1t
is pointed out by the Nineteenth Century that
the climatic conditions are very different and

the workmen up to an altitude of 5000 to
10000 feet do about the same relative GUAM
tity Of work as at sea level. provided they

the percentage of efficient labor at the
greatest elevation Is very high one. Men
coming from the coast are not found capable
of doing efficient work for about two
weeks on an average when taken to high
elevations. The capacity gradually in
creases and reaches its maximum in a
few weeks or months, according 10 the

gangs of these "Cholos" have for special
purposes been taken down suddenly from

from the change. Mules and horses are
found TO do about the same efficient work

WANT AN APPROPRIATION.
Worlds Fair Commission and Press
Association Ask for One.

The Worlds Fair Commission sitting In
executive session last evening decided to APP
propriate $1,000 to assist in establishing
headquarters for the State Press Association
in Chicago.
At the close of the executive session 1t
was announced that the executive COM
mittee of the State Press Association was
in attendance.
The committee was admitted and it was
learned that it had waited upon the COM
mission for tho purpose Of asking assistance
In the matter of establishing headquarters.
The members of the committee were
much pleased to learn that their wishes had
been anticipated and complied with In ad-
vance.
The commission and committee then went
into joint session, in the course OF which
Commissioner Ferguson expressed himself
as being of the opinion that the Legls-
iature could be Induced TO appropriate
S25, 600 for the purpose Of having book OF
200 pages, illustrative of the States re-
sources. printed, to BIO used as an adjunct to
the exhibit.
The proposition met with the warm ap-
prevail OF all present, but after some discus
sion it was thought that better plan would
he to try 10 have the work done In the State
printing office. as bearing the seal OF State
edition would divest II OF all suspicion as
boom project.
On motion, 1t was decided that all present
should go TO Sacramento tomorrow morn
ing as joint committee to expediate the
work of getting legislative action in the
matter.
A committee OF five was appointed to
wait on the Governor, and one of three to
present the matter to the Finance Commit
tee.
The meeting then adjourned, members
TO meet Monday morning at the depot.
