Moore Predicts
World Upheaval
EARTHQUAKES, FIRES, RAILWAY
DISASTERS AND FINANCIAL
CRISIS COMING.

LONDON, Aug. 14.-"old Moore,
in his almanac for 1908 predicts the
usual assortment of startling happen
ings all over the world. Earthquakes,
fires, railway disasters, notable
deaths, financial and diplomatic crisis
are generously strewn over the alma.
macs pages and "old moore" has a
particularly heavy calendar Of acci-
dents and incidents for London.
In January national calamity will
occur to st. Paul's and the London
tram cars will help the rates by their
profits. In May claimant will arise
to a large London estate and in July
the people Of London will be threaten
ed with the collapse of the Nelson
Column, the Duke of York's Column
or the Monument. The latter half Of
the year will be comparatively un-
eventful, but about the time Of Christ
mas eve sixty.hye engines and five
hundred fremen will be busy in q
danger zone in the city of London.
Experiments in wireless telephony
are shortly to be conducted on an ex-
tensiye scale in England. For some
time past a number of experts have
been making investigations in Ger
many and Denmark, and DR.. Lee For
est is also conducting a series of In
teresting experiments in America. So
successful have the experiments IN
Denmark, for instance, proved that
two persons twenty-five miles apart
speaking into instruments totally I'M
connected by wires, we're able to con-
verse distinctly. Even greater results
are anticipated in England within
the next few weeks.
Ian MacLaren's Estate.
The filing of final papers shows that
the Rev. DR.. John Watson, of crox-
as ian MacLaren," left an estate of
which the net personally amounted to
s25OOOO. After certain minor requests
he left the residue of his property to
his wife for life, with the remainder
divided equally between his sons,
John, Francis, Henry and Frederick,
on attaining the age of 25 years. He
further directed with reference to his
copyrights and other rights in his pub
lished of unpublished works that his
trustees should have in their absolute
discretion the fullest power Of publica-
ton and sale.
Mrs. Arthur Holland, interviewed,
explains the coming woman's Con-
gress thus:
THE Woman's Congress Is one of
the most necessary organizations Of
our day. We will take a single illus
tratlon to prove my words. A hus-
band gives his wife a SO bill to buy
a new hat. She is very busy and asks
him II he will go out and buy it for
her. He does so, searches the shops,
and with the best intentions in the
world, chooses a Partisan model
which is absolutely unsuitable.
His wife knows that he has done
his best, but the hat is useless to her
and she blames herself for not going
out in the first place, because she
knows best what style would prove
to her.
at is exactly the same with the
congress. Our candidates in Parlia-
ment are willing to do their best for
us, but only women can Judge what is
best for women and that is the foun-
dalton stone of our movement
I'VE intend to employ women only
in our congress, even to the printing
There must be one exception and that
