PREDICTED THE. AIRsInp.

In connection with the flying cxhibi-
tion to be given here the old forecast
credited to one Mother Shipton. In the
fifteenth century, may have some In
terest. In It the prediction is made
that ''men shall be seen In the air. in
white, in black, in green" 1t is claim
cd that this prophecy was first pub
lished in 1885. In 1880 IL found its way
into the newspapers of many countries,
because it predicted tho end of the
world the year following. Here Is tho
somewhat sIbylline forecast:
Carriages without horses shall go.
And accidents MI the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Waters shall yet more wonders do:
Now strange. but shall be true.
The world upside down shall be.
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills men shall ride.
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under water men shall walk;
Shall ride, shall sleep. shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white. In black. In green.
Iron in the water shall float,
AS easy as a wooden boat
Gold shall be found mid stone.
In land that's now unknown.
Fire and water shall wonders do.
England shall at last admit q Jew.
The world To an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and clghty-onc."
II would seem that the automobile,
the telegraph, the discovery OF gold.
the submarine boat. the airship. the
steamboat, all are predicted in these
lines. There Is some reference to the
wonders that water shall do. and also
to topsy turvy world, both of which
arc, yet. rather obscure. but all the
other predictions have come true. OK
cept that relating to the end of the
world in 1881.

Il sometimes find myself wondering
whether OF not am the sole survivor
of that splendidly enthusiastic body of
men who went from New York and
other Northern states to tho national
convention Of the American, or Know
Nothing party, in 1885," said to me re-
Gently Col. Frederick C. Wagner, chair
man of the board of trustees of the
countrys largest Masonic home, in
Utica, N. Y. and himself one of the
best known living Mnsons. "And also
sometimes find myself wondering how
much differently the history OF the
country would have been written had 1t
not been for the stunning SURPRISE that
we OF the North were given at that
convention.
I'VE had gone there strong in the be-
lief that the presidential nomination
would be conferred upon George Law, u
great hearted, broad-minded man
who was known in politics as Live Oak
George and in business as the builder
OF New York Cty's Croton Aqueduct
Including the celebrated High bridge,
then rightly regarded as the greatest
public work undertaken in the United
States. His name is almost forgotten
touuy, Dut III inc dayS Wnen the Know
Nothing movement was in its glory It
was known nationally. For weeks be-
fore tho convention there had been
strong disposition all through the north
to make him lead the party, and we
who were the delegates from the north
felt that all the politics needed had
been used to bring about his nomina-
tton. We were. indeed. very conf
dent and very happy set OF men, and
on the very day that the presidential
nominations were to be made we en-
tered the hall highly elatcd over the
thought that all wo had to do was to
ratify the overwhelming sentiment for
Mr.. Law by formally casting and
counting the ballots-that before the
day was over VIC would be shouting
his name as that of our standard bear
or.
THE roll call was bcgun-Alabama,
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1910-01-28

leading the states alphabetically. was
first called upon. Tho chairman Of the
delegation arose to his full height.
Mr.. President he shouted in very
loud and solemn voice, MT. President.
Alabama casts solid vote for the
nomination of Millard Fillmore for
PRESIDENT
"All during the time Of the conven-
tion right up to the nominating ses-
sion. we OF the North had noted dis
inclination among the Southern dele
gates to express their preference for
the presidential nomination-indeed, as
1 look back on 1t, thoir silence was
ominouS. But that was a crcum-
stance whose full significance escaped
US In the buoyancy OF spirit over the
thought OF certain victory for Live
Oak George But the instant our ears
told us what tho Alabama man had
spoken we realized what was coming
Southern state after Southern state
voted for Fillmore, he was nominated,
and you never saw in all your life a
more surprised lot of delegates to a
national political convention.
"And what do you suppose was the
reason that led the South solidly to
back Fillmore His friends had cum
nlngly. secretly, caused the report to
pS SpIeiu among the southern dele
gates that Live Oak George was too
much Of a Free Soiler, whereas Mil
lard Fillmore. as the successor of Cen
cral Taylor in the presidential chair,
had signed the Fugitive Slave act.
But we of the North were more
than surprised-we were indignant, and
refused to be bound by the vote of the
convention. Ultimately we rallied to
the support of Gen. Fremont. who was
also the presidential nomincc of the
republicans. and this act on the part
OF tho Northern wing of the Know
Nothing party marked the beginning
or Its end. Four years later the move
ment that had once been so powerful
factor in national politics was only
memory-killed by the surprise that
our Southern brothers handed out to
us at what we fondly thought was our
moment OF victory"

MAKING GOOD ROADS.

Good road making. we might sug-
Gest to the delegates. consists in Sc
curing two conditions: a solid road bed
and d surface relatively free from
dust.
At present We are aiming only at tho
1rst condition. and the people will be
very well satisfied If that much can
be attained.
Recent consular reports from Ger
many show that the construction and
maintenance of good roads Is a mat
ter of great public interest In that
country.
In America the condition is such
that one prominent and influential
newspaper the Kansas City Star keeps
the following motto, conspicuously
printed on the middle OF it's first
page The United States is the only
country that can afford bad roads.
Only very rich and fertile land can
stand the waste"
In Germany. on the other hand
good roads arc deemed OF the utmost
Importance from every standpoint
military, agricultural. commercial,
hygienic. and economic
Every encouragement is given to those
who are experimenting along these
lines. and many OF the improvements
discovered have been adopted in other
countries
One of the matters now receiving
the special attention of German. scien-
lists, highway authorities and en-
giDeers is tho treatment OF streets and
roads for the purpose of obviatlng
dust and mud.
Various combinations of oil and salt
have been used In Germany TO sprinkle
the streets and roads. but as the ef-
feet was only transltory this method
was not considered solution OF the
problem OF maintaining hard. clean
and sanitary highways. Experiments
have also been made with coal tar
and some of these preparations applied
TO the surface of roads have kept the
dust settled for longer periods oil
time than by former methods. AL.
