FORECAST OF EVENTS.
Noted Astrologer Predicts Topeka
Will Be Destroyed by Cyclone
by Henri Cachot.l

My prediction. made in the London
papers a year ago, for the year OF 1898
and 1899, was so widely copied. and has
come true IN so many OF the prophetlc
clauses, that do not hesitate to again
use my gift of prophecy for he coming
year. call it a gift, but 1t is the eX-
ercise of no supernatural power IN
making my predictions am assisted by
the stars, the histories, the trend of
affairs of political import, and the Opin-
ions of statesmen. At the same time
I am lucky in forecastfng events that
are not fOretold of any of these
I predict for the balance of the year
1899 and for the year 1900, first, that the
Beers will win.
I deny the truth of the prediction
that the world will come to an end this
year and can see nothing to indicate
that it can do so before the year 1901
The Worlds fair must be celebrated
and the prophecy must be fulfilled,
And all nations shall gather where a
mighty hero once stood"
This might mean Napoleon Or 1T
might be construed to apply to hero
of the next century. 'A1 nations shall
gather where a mighty hero once stood
would apply to the close of the next
century as well as to this. All indica-
lions point to a continuance of this
era. End of-the-world people are mis-
taking the signs. The present era has.
in my opinion, another 100 years to rum
though it may possibly terminate in
1901. If so, it will be during the World S
fair.
THE QUEENS DEATH.
A 1amentable thing will occur In the
death of Englands queen. And the
prophecy viii be fulfilled which says:
and in the last half of the century
Europe's greatest and richest monarch
shall die with a broken heart Queen
Victoria, if you remember, said last
March: IF England is plunged in a
bloody war I pray God I shall die"
China and Russia and Japan will en-
gage in a big war in which Japan will
gain victory.
The trusts will increase in power.
AguinaldO will surrender before
Christmas.
Next falls wheat crop will be the
biggest in the history of the country.
FLOODS AND CYCLONES.
There will be a terrible flood on the
Mississippi.
Topeka will b destroyed by a cy-
clone.
America will receive the greatest sur
prise of history on the result of the
presidential election.
The question Of religion will agitate
the Philippines and our relations with
the Sulus will be disturbed.
Two Of the greatest millionaires of
the century will die
Horseless carriages will run in every
city of the United States.
The United States will annex Cuba,
by a popular vote Of the Cubans, who
will insist upon annexation, even
against the wishes Of the United
States.
Food will be dearer.
The United States will declare a
great exposition.
Great changes will take place in leg
islatiOn; laws will be revised and the
government will own canals and other

China.
France Will overthrow it's president.
The president of France will resign, but
France will not become a monarchy.
The queen of Holland will marry

predict that fashions will change.
Women will dress palmer and men will
dress in brighter cOlOrs. The men Of
1900 viii wear red and yellow-yes and
other colors for their small articles of
dress, such as vests and ties and gloves
more than they now wear them.
Russia and Japan will have a horri-
BILE war, in which Japan will win; this
is positive. Russia in all her pride and
greatness will suffer and Japan, the
quiet and peaceful, will take away her
territory from her. Japan's name, I re-
peat, viii grow to be great-yes almost
as powerful as that of England, and
the sun shall not go down upon her
possessions.
