that lives will be sacrificed by the thou
end OF Tho nation TO the other Is .he pre-
diction OF Lr. A. Ecker. OF this city. who
has had another vision"
His first vision occurred several
months before Mckinley was assass.nat-
ed SO impressed Is the doctor with his
latest occult message that he decided TO
apprise President Roosevelt OF the i'm
pending dangers and warn His Excellen-
cy OF the prospective invasion by four
or fve OF the most powerful countries Of
Europe The doctor has mailed the fol-
lowing letter 10 .--e president:
Dear Sir:--On the 9th day OF the fourth
month OF the year 1902 I was In vision
at the coast. Whether Atlantic or Pa
cinc / do not know. Standing on a pier
and looking out into the water. saw
four or five OF what seemed TO be very
large fish. They came very quietly In
with the tide. more like gunboats than
fish, however.
Looking around ! saw that could get
down to the water at the left OF where
l was standing. / went down to the
beach. and as / did so the water receded.
| saw several streams OF blood flow with
the water. / continued walking. and pre-
s,ntly / noticed that the ground all
around me was covered with dead fish.
They were fish from foreign waters, all
dirfercnt in size and color. The further
| walked the thicker lay the fish.
Finally retraced my steps and. reach
Inc the pier. I climbed up. AS did so
tho water closed IN about me closer until
u had gained its normal condition. Look
ing down deep into the water ! saw one
OF those large fish, or boats as IL seemed,
With he-baw- stove In andlarGe holes In
the sides. Soon after that / saw what
once must have been a squadron OF ships,
for rs Tar as the eye could see there was
nuothirg but hulls.
| will Interpret the vision as saw and
believe II. The reality is 10 take place I'm
the near future. The four or five large
fish are European powers. They will
combine TO try TO do up America.
TIE lafge fish with the head stove In
and holes in the sides tell me that we
will via the day by very close shave.
AS the hulls OF our vessels are shorn OF
their beauty / understand we will have
10 more use for gunboats after this deal
The waters receding means that we will
control the seas. The dead FISH
seen on the beach and at the
bottom OF the ocean, the streams
OF blood flowing with the water tell me
that there will be a great shedding OF
blood and mony lives lost
Later ! saw ships in the distance
saw oilc black demon making for one of
a
Iiles OF destruction from bow and sides
alike After the smoke cleared away
there v as nothing 10 be seen In the har-
Dor but the masts of the sunken ships.
TINS shows how easy IL is TO enter many
OF our ports at the present time.
Mr.. President. you will excuse a per-
feci stranger. You cannot make ready
10 ,neet these foreign gentlemen too soon
or do youi work too quickly or too well
Yours respectfully, DR. A ECKER
In referring 10 his former vision -r
Ecker said
When Mr.. Mckinley was up for a
second term there was a little discussion
at a dinner party at my home. One OF
the gentlemen present remarked that lie
had had an introduction 10 Mr. Bryan
and shook hands with him the day be-
fore. He also further remarked that re
had very dlsagreeable, large, soft hand
which left an unpleasant sensation.
"At that moment 1 saw Mr.. McKin-
leys hand stretched across the table as
much as to say that his was the hand 10
shake. | was also shown that II he was
reelected he would not serve out his
term. Friends said. why don't you warn
Mr. Mckinley? / told them IL would he
OF no use-he would pay no more atten-
tion to what i would say then did Mr..
Lincoln when he was told that II he ac-
cepted a second term he would be as
sassinated. He merely remarked that he
had work to do and must do tt
