DIREFUL PREDICTION.
Prophet in Chicago Says This Sum-
mer VIII Be Cold.

A Chicago weather prophet whose name
is given as DR.. Vasatka has sent to WASH
ington direful statement or prediction.
He says that unless there is a change In
the weather In three weeks 1t will be cold
all summer. DR.. Vasatka last year pre-
dicted that, save for Friday, Illinois state
fair weather week would be one of the
finest in years. His prediction was verified
He now says a condition similar to an
eclipse prevails with reference to the sun
as seen from the earth. and that the pres
sure on the earth which produced the ex-
plosive earthquakes two years ago and
since then are now operating on the sun,
so that it has not power enough to heat the
half of the earth in which we live
The peculiar appearance Of the sun, with
a rotary movement across the face, can De
seen by looking at the sun now, according
to Dr. Vasatka. He does not pretend TO
know what this condition Is going to result
in and he declares no one can tell, but he
says that earthquakes need not be feared
in Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas and places
where the crust is firm and there Is nothing
to explode. Before earthquakes there 10
always greatly changeable weather. How
ever, he says, the comet that has passed
produced a pressure on the earth which
resulted in the explosions, and another one
is coming which is exerting a similar force
on the sun.
DIR. Vasatka takes issue with the astron-
omers who prophesy that the sun Will purn
out He says that this would have happened
thousands Of millions of years ago II at all.
This peculiar faculty which the doctor
has of prophecy he says he learned when
a boy ten years old in Austria, and his
story Of how the truth came to him affords
an instance similar to those when Dr.
Pundit is citing to substantiate his theory
of reincarnation. He began to wonder to
himself why he was born. what would come
of him. whence came the earth and other
weiphty questions and finally the truth
came to him as a child. Since then he
has had the acquaintance, with the forces
of nature which enables him to prophesy
in part.

ITO Forest officers in Charge:
There is a large amount of mer.

holds spikes as well and offers a
greater resistance to cutting by the
tie plates. Experiments which have
been conducted by the Forest Ser
vice during the past winter show that
unseasoned green timber is only
about one-half as strong as dead tim
ber. 1t has been found that fire-seas
oning often drives the odor from
wood and makes possible it's use fol
various kinds of boxes. Since it alb
serbs preservatives more readily ant
can be given more uniform pene
tration, dead timber may be treatet
with preservatives to much bettel
advantage than green. The logging
/ of dead timber is, in most instances
considerably cheaper than that 0
green on account of the loss of weigh
through seasoning. In many case
where brush piling and burning will
not materially lessen the danger from
fire, 1t will be possible to waive th1
requirement and thus cheaper explo1
tation."
