An astounding prophecy has JUS
been made by the most noted proph

ed the eruption Of Mont Pelee, the
election OF President Roosevelt, the

ite Is 4, plain. uppretentious busi-
ness man, d grocery store keeper
who apparently has a natural gift of
prophecy.
Within the past month he has had
vision OF the destruction of the
world, the Disappearance of the seas
and the making of new heaven
and new earth. as he expresses it.
This prediction differs from the old
fashioned, eld-of-the-world prophe-
cleS which usually represented the
world as being burned up in nigh
ty fame.
Lee Spangler predicts that the
new earth Will be- made by ratur-
al geological processes, earthquakes.
the rising OF new mountain range
and the driving up Of the oceans.
In these cataclysms he foresees
the destruction of New York. Bos-
ton and Chicago-all Of these cities
meeting their fate in different ways.
Spaneler's Predictions.
On Sunday toward the close of
next year, 1908. the destruction Of
the world Will begin.
Then will be made new heaven
and new earth There will be no
more seas.
In the new millennium which will
begin with the new earth all the sur
viving Inhabitants will come toseth-
er into one great nation, being no
longer separated by the barriers OF
seas or race prejudice.
The disaster S. of San Francisco,
Nalparisi and Kingston within the,
past nine months have been but the
ruMblings and premonitionS Of the
final destruction.
The next great catastrophe will be
the annihilation Of New York by
earthquake and fire IN the Autumn
Of 1908 That city stands on the
edge of what biologists call a fault.
