AN ASrRoLoGERs FORECAST.

AN AS | ROLOGERS FORECAST.
My prediction made in the London
papers year ago, for the year OF 1885
aud 1899, was SO widely copied aod ,s
come true III SO maoy of the prophetic
clauses, that do not hesitate 10 again
use my Gift of prophesy for tho comit Z
year. l call it gilt, but it is the exet
else of no supernatural power. In max
ing my predictions I am assisted by the
stars, the histories, the trend OF atfairs
of political Import aud the oninions OF
ates me,. At the sa ne time am lucky
in forces lug even.s mat are not lore
told of any OF these.
I predict for the balance of the year
1899 ard for the year of 1900, first, that
the Beers will wio.
deny the truth of the prediction that
the world will come to an end this year
aud can see nothing to indicate that it
can do so before the year 1901. The
Worlds Fair must be celebra ed ard
the prophesy must be fulfilled. "Aud
all nations shall gather where mighty
hero once STOOD"
This might mean Napoleon. Or, it
might be Construed to apply to hero
OF the next century. "All paions
shall gather where mighty hero once
stood" would apply TO the close of the
next century as we'll as to this. All il
dications point TO continuance of this
era. Eod- ot-the word people are mis-
taking the signs. The present era has,
in my opinion, another hundred years
to run, though it may possibly termi-
nate 10 1901. II so, it will be during
the Worlds Fair.
A lameutable event will occur in the
death OF England's Q1sen. And III
prophesy will be fulfilled which says :
"And in the last half of the century
Europe's gr ates, aud richest monarch
shall die wi'h broken heart" Queen
Victoria, ii you remember, said last
March: "If England is plugged in q
bloody war l pray God shall de-"
