Dire Predictions for the Year 1906.

Lee Spangler. who styles himself
''the last of the prophets" has come
TO the front with his annual prophe-
cies for the coming year. some of
which, as printed by the Baltimore
Sun, are as follows:
The dissolution of Russia.
The assassination of the Car of
Russia.
The assassination of the Sultan of
Turkey.
The prevention Of three wars by
President Roosevelt.
y protracted race war in the south.
Destructive spring floods in the
United States.
\ destructive eruption Of Mount
Vesuvius.
The activity of Mount Pelee AMI
Popocatepetl.
Volcanic eruptlons in all parts of
the world.
The eruption Of many volcanoes
now supposed to be extinct
Great loss of life at sea by storms.
Destruction Of two western cities by
cyclones.
Earthquakes in all parts of the
world.
Destructive earthquakes in Califor-
MIA and the Philippines.
Rebellion in Spain.
Great disturbances all over Europe.
SpangIer says further that the sum-
mer of 1906 will be hot and sultry
throughout the temperate zone, with
high death rate.
That Christ will make His spirit felt
among the peoples of the United
States and England. in which coun-
tries there are to be fervent religious
and potent political movements, which
are to overcome in a geat degree the
present spirit of graft and CONNER
cialism.
That the United States will continue
as world power and the leader of
other nations.
That Pennsylvania is to have an
administration of the people and that
discoveries Of corruption will be made
which viii drive some of the guilty
to suicide.
That God will wreak terrible venge-
ance upon the Russians for the mas
sacre of the Jews.
Spangler has attracted considerable
attention by his prophecies in the past
and, in consequence, has quite a fol-
lowing, who believe that his power is
a Divine gift. Among his most no
table prophecies, which came to pass,
are the death of Queen Victoria, the
assassination of President Mckinney.
the Chicago theatre fire, the defeat of
the Russians by the japanese. the cleo
ton Of President Roosevelt and the
General Slocum disaster in the North
river at New York.

Orlando Solves a Problem That May
Interest Ocaa.

The sink hole problem is solved. It
has been an extended proposition, not
because the theory of draining it was
at fault, but because 4 was impos-
sible to secure men OF practical
knowledge equipped with suitable ma
chinery, To do the job. When once the
proper parties were secured, it was
very readily seen that the plan adopt
ed in the beginning was the right one.
The we'll drivers from Pennsylvania
went to work intelligently and expe-
ditiously as soon as they arrived on
the ground, and in six or seven days
drove a II inch pipe down 1876 feet to
the cavity originally found with the
first test pipe of two inches, which
was sunk nearly a year ago, and in
was driven to the same level Now a
third Il inch pipe is being sunk in the
ditch emptying from Lake Davis south
of the bridge, near Mrs. Smiths pro-
perty, without doubt, after the mum
dated district shall have once been
drained, these pipes will clear all the
waters that may accumulate. If they
do. then one phase of the sewerage
proposition is also solved, for all that
will be necessary will be TO sink these
wells TO a suitable depth and drain
TO it.-Orlando Reporter

And what is said of man refers, of course, in equal if not in still more accentuated degree to wom- an.
