The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1909-01-09


We now come TO Zadkiel, who also
predicts lie lives in London and
makes his living by outlining tho
year for us all by aid of the sun,
moon and stars.
Passirlg aside all the fires, rail-
way accidents, shipwrecks, race
riots and labor trouble predicted
all Of which we have regularly, ns
docs every other civilized nation on
earth-we come to more definite
things Said Zachlel, with appro-
pirate warnings
In all the years that | have been
studying the stars their influence
has never been more sinister than
it is for 1908, The year will be
one that will live long in the mem
ory of man BY the middle of Jan
uary Washington will be greatly
worried over the disloyal attitude OF
a british colony, the Intervention OF
one of the great European powers
in the quarrel, and the possible
necessity for war.
What was the colony?
And:
TT Is highly probable that a
formidable foreign fleet will make
its appearance on the Atlantic coast
and that doubt as to its purpose
viii result in a hurried mobilization
of American military and navaI
forces"
No fleet appeared here, but sew
eral foreign SHIPS did slip into New
York Bay with abrupt notice that
the American naval officers stationed
in the city should forthwith come
aboard and have all the champagne
they could drink The Americans
took their orders very seriously and
meekly obeyed the bellAyerent for
eigners. And the military certainty
We're mobiliazd All the regiments in
New York and Brooklyn went to
camp as scheduled, and manoeuvered
too. 1t cost the State quite some
thing to pay for the bank am
munition that was fired off at our
own men.
The floods for New York for
April, as predicted by Zadkiel pass
ed the city. There was to be a
strike and the dynamiting of the
Panama Canal with great loss of
life. Earthquakes in the southeast
ern part OF the United States were
due for October, as well as strained
relations with Japan.
If these things happened Thr
World failel to print them. II did
rrint the fact, however, that tha
United States has entered into a
peace compact with Japan, which
even none of the prophets foresaw.
The poor Pacific fleet started out
most unauspiciously II was to be
badly battered in a storm, and
several of the battleships were to
be given up as lost for days.
"Only by the narrowest of mar
gins will Admiral Evans great fleet
finally reach harbor in safety
said Zadltiel.
The fleets great trouble was in
gettlrly away from n harbor In
safety, so enthusiastic were each
country's greetings, 1t may be add
ed that the fleet is still fleeting,
though Mars, Venus and Jupiter had
It in for every ship.
Prof, William AIaccabee went
deeper into detail about those SIX
teen devoted battleships, Said he
in zodiacal language
"At the time of the departure OF
the United States fleet the zodlacal
sign Pisces was rising and the evil
planets, Mars and Saturn, were in
the ascendant, with Saturn in an
angle. This Is considered in aslrolo-
gical Jurisprudence a most evil as
peot and foreshadows troublous eX-
perience for the fleet This is par
tlcularly true owning To the square
aspect of the sun in the mid-heaven
angle to Saturn,
Thereupon, Prof. Maccabee Went
to show how we were going to have
trcuble with Japan. He warned us
