PREDICTION FOR 1908.
Gustave Meyer Denies That the
World Will Come to an End.
New York World.)

AS an American aStrologer l have set
UP chart for 1908, and find the year
will prove a most remarkable and
eventful period in the history of the
United States, etc. There will be finan-
cial panics. failures of banks, bank
robberies, riots and strikes in all trades
calamities below. on and above the
earth, and great loss of life and prop
erty on land and sea, and shipwrecks
will be quite numerous.
The United States government will
experience considerable revenue trouble,
and much money will be spent for mu-
nitions of war. Calamities will occur
to our naval vessels on their way to
the Pacific coast, especially caused
through carelessness of naval officers.
We need fear no war with Japan, now
or in the future. Japan, in fact will
prove to be our best friend and ally.
Much trouble will occur to our soldiers
and diplomats abroad.
Our administration will be harshly
criticised, and President Roosevelt will
be subject to considerable Islander and
discredit His life will be in jeopardy
and misfortune will befall him, and he
should guard against accident or trou-
BILE to his knees in particular.
Great failures will occur in the COM
mercial world. A bear market will pre-
vail in Wall street The postoffice de-
partment, railroads and steamship COM
panies will do an enormous business,
but life insurance companies will be
compelled to face some record breaking
obligations, and mortality will be unus-
ually high.
A considerable number of earth
quakes, volcanic eruptions and disas-
oTr orio l,a mill
cur. Pleasures will be greatly handi-
capped and great fires and calamities
will occur in hotels, theatres, places of
and at summer resorts.
Great storms will do much damage
all over the country, and great fires
will sweep the country, especially the
east and west, and New York will bear
the brunt. The militia will be called !
out to suppress strikes and riots. caus |
ing much bloodshed and bitterness.
l do not look for any great prosperity |
for our people until the summer of
1908. Coney Island and other pleasure
resorts will be greatly damaged by |
great transforms during the early |
spring and summer months.
The city OF Hoboken will again be in |
grave danger of dock fires during 1908, !
but the most critical periods win be on !
February g 3 and 16, April and T. |
May is and II, August IS, 10, 20, Is and |
%, and November 10, Is and 10. The |
most critical period of all will be Au-
gust IS and 10. I fear a repetition of
the great fire that befell Hoboken seven |
years ago.
Mr.. Lee ]. Spangler, the religious
prophet, of York Pa, predicts that the
world will positively come to an end at
the end of 1908. l wish to say, as an
astrologer, that Mr.. Spangler is wrong
when he makes such a rash prediction,
for predict that the world will neither
then nor at any other time come to an
end.
Great uprisings will occur in Russia
and in Germany, and the star of Russia
IS positively setting, and / predict that
within five years Russia will. be re-
public. Turkey will follow in the foot
steps of Russia fear that the car of
Russia will be assassinated during or
lot later than the summer of 1908. as
lie has reached the most critical period
n his career, and at the same time /
also fear that the emperor of Germany
will be in grave danger of passing
way, brought about through cancer.
The winter OF 1908 will be an open
winter, and very unhealthy one, and
mortality will be unusually large.
IT is unedniable that the more fully
We come to know the average man or
the more unexpected good we
ind in them, and the greater allow
nee we see ought to be made for their
lefects. One good rule, then, for Sc
uring justice in this matter would be
o speak no ill, and, as far as possible,
o think no i'll, of strangers of enemies.
