Prophet Spangler Fortells Disasters

The earthquake that left death and
disaster in its wake in San Francisco
was predicted December 18th last by
Prophet" "Spangler. New York oracle,
whose alleged prophetic powers are taken
seriously by the residents of the ghetto
district In that city. At that time
Spangler made q general forecast OF
calamities for 1906. including "destruc-
tive earthquakes in California and the
Philippines, "the destructive eruption
of Mount Vesuvius," and "protracted
race war in the South"
The fact that the California and
Mount Vesuvius disasters have occurred
and that the recent race war at Spring
field. No.. tends to support his other
predictions gives added interest to his
prophecies. Among other predictions
he made on that date are the following:

The Free Alcohol Bill Passes the Senate

about two-thirds was for power
and heating purposes and cost
13 1-2 cents a gallon. The re-
manning third was used for light
ing and chemical purposes.
In the irrigated section of our
West, pumping of water for irri-
cation purposes has to be re-
sorted to frequently. The irriga-
tors important question is how
to obtain fuel cheaply, especially
if his place is located a long dis
tance from the railroad and still
farther from the source of supply
of gasoline. Cheap and abund-
ant crops of potatoes are raised
on most of these farms, but be-
cause of an absence of market
they have gone to waste.
Nevada WM Need Few Dnfileries.
If converted into alcohol and
utilized for pumping purposes,
the potatoes will greatly extend
the agricultural area in the semi
arid region. In these sections of
the the country it would be
necessary to establish agricul-
tural potato distilleries, so as to
save freight on the farm products
and alcohol.
In Germany there are 10000
such agricultural distilleries.
Four thousand of these repre-
sent the chief activity of the
farms on which they are located,
and 1000 play a secondary role.
The total value of products de-
rived from these agricultural
potato distilleries in Germany
amounts to about $25, 100000
per annum. They are under
Government control.
In Europe the alcohol stove
takes the place of the gasoline
stove for cooking and can be
utilized without odor or danger
of explosion. One of the con-
venient novelties largely used in
Germany is an alcohol fiat iron
with a small reservoir, which be-
ing filed with alcohol and light
ed, heats the iron for an hour
work at a cost of less than two
cents.

that wouli come mp to the required

been proposed that the students be al

that during their vacation they make
up their work. after which they would
receive their diplomas.
Professor Cushman assigns five
reasons for their non-acceptance, the
most severe of which is as follows:
English extremely poor, except in one

sentence structure and the like very
poor" He also criticises the Students
for not submitting the theses at the re-

The bill was passed without

that the decentralization pro-

the application of any registered
