by c. P. Huntington. He, through
Treadwell, will own all the oil well dis
tricts there. They are quietly buying
up that country now, and the people
are not aware of it. All the gas in GER
tain districts will be produced from the
earth. Of the bay of Santa Barbara
and in Summerland are wells and wells
of oil.
The next three years hold three
deaths for the Mckinley family-the
mother and wife of the President and
the President himself. If he can pass
a planetary condition in the month of
January, 1899, he Will hold the Presi-
dency the whole term. If not, he will
have a sudden death.
William J. Bryan will be the next
President of the United States.
The murderer Durham will be caught
and brought to justice next year. He
is on the southeastern border of Old
Mexico. He is in hiding and in dis
guise. BY his own hand he will cheat
the gallows.
Next year Queen Victoria will pass
away suddenly. After she is dead Eng
land will be under a republican form
of government. She is the last Queen
England viii have.
Although next year win be year of
much talk and contemplation of war,
there will be none. There will be
storms, earthquakes, lives lost at sea,
and many fires, etc, but no war.

subject to calculation, as was believed
by Kepler, and these principles were
applied by Dore to the law of storms
and winds.
That there is a tide in the affairs of
men which, taken at the flood, leads to
success is an old opinion, but when the
tide is likely to come no one has ever
calculated. The critical times are de-
termined by laws which control the
life of every individual and the prog
ress Of nations, which certainly hold
good in reference to our own country
as to it's prosperity and its calamities.
These laws indicate plainly
terrible time for this country be-
tween the years 1909 and 1916. We
have but twelve years to prepare
for a political and social conyul-

eral friends, one Of whom kindly made
notes of the statements uttered by me
of which the following is the purport:
/ find myself surrounded by snow
clad hills, mountains and valleys am
in a good-sized town, composed of
roughly constructed stores and dwell
ings, among which throngs of human
beings move about muffled up from the
cold. Over the town there seems to
hover in the air a bright fiery being,
having upon his head a shining crown
in which are set three brilliant stones.
From these stones there radiate bright
streams oflight, great rays that extend
away, away into the distance, till 1
cannot tell how far they reach. They
seem to extend beyond the horizon.
Each ray is separate and distinct from
the others, and takes a different direc-
ton. / cannot tell the exact direction,
but I know / am looking southwark.
! ask the bright being in whose head
shine the brilliant stones what may
these three lines of light indicate. He
tells me that following the course of
the lines of light there will be great
discoveries of precious metal-far more
valuable than such as have previously
been made. When he speaks 1 see
thousands of men hurrying in the three
directions.
Then there is a change of scene.
see great quantities of gold piled up
around me, and men moving about
taking no notice of the riches by which
they are surrounded. 1t seems as if
the gold had lost it's value. cannot
understand what this means. 1t either
shows that gold has deprecated in
value or that it is not worth the effort
the men made to reach it, or that they
cannot get it away from the region in
which they have discovered it. AS they
are leaving the region try to ascertain
what the trouble is. try to stop them,
but cannot. 1t seems some obstacle is
in the way of gaining the vast treas
ure. What it can be I don't know, but
there seems a dispute somewhere. Ii
seems as though there was some ques-
ton as to who owned the great piles of
gold, and so it lies there. 1t seems as
if trouble of some kind were around it.
The vision fades away.

well known. This stamps periodicity
on everything. Hence, the laws Of
periodicity apply not only to sunspots,
meteors, climatic conditions, storms,
earthquakes and epidemics, but to
many conditions affecting human life.
I have record of many epidemics and
earthquakes correctly predicted by
others.
Professor Falb of Vienna and Com
mander Morrison of the British navy
have made very successful predictions
Of earthquakes. Commander Morrison
predicted, twelve months in advance,
the months and the location of an
earthquake on the northern coast of
South America which occurred in 1853.
Such events are largely controlled by

Of Germany, 1t is quite likely he would
be put under lock and key.
During the next fifteen years the sun
will be in parallel to Uranus, which
will cause unrest and suspiciousness in
Russia. All this will harass the Cars
mind in a thousand different ways. The
older he gets the more stubborn his
mind will become. Still, the coming
year viii be pretty good for him,
though during the latter part there will
be seditions and plots, as usual, and his
mind in consequence will be irritable
and warlike.
The health of Emperor Franz Josef
of Austria will be rather poor during
1898. but otherwise he will prosper. The
affairs of state will proceed as usual,
and the Emperor will be more popular

erous.
A change in the affairs of the
Catholic church seems to be ap-
preaching. The tendency of the
church in America is different
from that in Europe, and when
the strong grip of Leo is released
by death the divergence will ap-
proach close to a separation, which
if not accomplished then will APP
pear later. Yet possibly a liberal
policy in mis- European successor
may postpone it.
We are just now passing through
adverse and dangerous conditions
for storms, wrecks, fires and cy-
clones, which will continue the
coming winter. The conditions
are unfavorable to intellectual men

a commencement of the great develop
ment in that line. We have mines in
California as valuable as those in
Alaska. The output of the Copper
River of Alaska will be great. Through
out Trinity County, California, are
belts and belts of gold, and the yield
will be far in excess of anything in 40.
AS far south as Mexico, Guatemala
and Peru mines will be opened in 1899,
but the California mines and the Alas
ka mines will yield beyond our expec-
tations.
Gas wells and oil wells will be dis
covered in California inside of two
years. The gas in many places will be
supplied from the earth. Southern

human beings since the CeleSClaI
choir uttered the words Peace
on earth, good will to men," it is
hard to believe that they have had any
particular effect. These words are sup
posed to have been said by angels
to the shepherds in commemoration
of the birth of Christ. Now, if the life
of Christ, as it appears in the New
! Testament, had been in accordance
4 with those words the effect might have
been different; but Christ himself, ac-
cording to the Testament, said: Il
come not to bring peace, but a sword
come to set father against son and
mother against daughter" From this

in commemoration of his birth, sang
the wrong hymn.
The New Testament is a mixture Of
! the generous and the malicious; of the
benevolent and malevolent. Side by
side with this doctrine of peace on
earth, good win to men, is found the
dogma Of eternal pain, so that the mes
I sage of good will seems to come from
q being who intends to take eternal
revenge. On account of this frightful
q dogma there was no peace on earth
and there was but little good will
toward men. People who said Peace
on earth" waged war against all who
differed from them in belief. The peo-
pie who said Good will to men" found
ed inquisitions, invented and used in
struments of torture.
In my judgment the effect of what
is called Christianity has been bad
When the church had power there was
no liberty in Christendom and there
WAS no progress Science was datest ed
by the church, and men who were en-
sdeavoring to ascertain the facts in
nature were denounced as blasphemers
and infidels. For many centuries
there was nothing but hypocrisy, ig-
snOrance, fear, cunning, persecution
and slavery. OF course there We're

many who sincerely worshiped the

cially avoids all excitement and exer-

King Humbert Of Italy will be In
some degree of danger from the as

Dark as the general future of our

progress to improved conditions.
There are some favorable indica-
tions for reform.
