STARS PREDICTED
DEATH OF WONG
Curious Horoscope of Murdered
Man Shows He was Flying
From Fate.

With death by violence at the hands
of eountryman, and within five
years, predicted by horoscope cast
for him by Chinese fortune teller in
San Francisco, Wong Fook, devout be-
never in astrology, was fleeing from
his fate to China, where the planets
decreed safety awaited him, when
death sent by the same stars overlook
him on the high seas. Lee Yin Jou,
highlander and gunman, killed Wong
Fook as he fed from fate, on the
main deck of the Korea, and made the
horoscope a true one in every par
ticular.
The fact that Wong Fook was flee.
ing from the death which the planets
had in their courses ordered for him,
was learned yesterday, when District
Attorney Breckons, In going through
the dead mans effects, found the
horoscope cast but few weeks ago.
He had it translated and the evil for
tune predicted for Wong Fook was
disclosed.
Within five years." ran the SIMS.
ter lines, "you will meet violent
death at the hands of countryman,
You will be safe only in your native
land"
There was no prophesy of good for.
tune anywhere in the maze of sym
bolical pictures and figures which con.
stituted the horoscope, and it is evi.
dent that the wizard who cast it vas
no charlatan, but played the game
with the sun, moon and the stars
strictly according to Hoyle, and
scorned to throw in any pleasant little
promises to please the man who paid
the fee.
Wong Fook evidently took the horo,
scope at its face value and sought in
vain to save himself from the re.
morseless spectre conjured by the
horoscope.

BRINGING BEARS
TO SMITHSONIAN
Noted Hunter Is Returning From
Siberia With a Number
of Specimens.

Returning from vacation trip
around the world, George Mixter,
passenger on the Manchuria, has in his
possession two bears, number of fish,
u Baikal seal, some small mammals and
a few specimens of flowers, which he
viii present to the Smithsonian Insti-
tution.
Instead of being n professor of zool-
ogy, as was claimed for him, and a
specialist sent out by the Smithsonian
to collect rare specimens, he is an en-
thusiastic huntsman and student of
animal life. He said he had no claim
TO n professorship and did not know
how the story was started, unless it
WAS joke perpetrated by the officers
of the boat. Indeed, he did not look
like the usual specimen hunter, his APP
pearance was too much of the oman.
of-theworld type, and his general in.
terest in the affairs of the nations too
marked.
al hunted for several weeks in the
mountains and around Lake Baikal, in
Siberia, and II was here that | found
! the specimens | am taking to the Smith
sonian,n said Mr.. NIixter last night,
az have two bears, one black and one
brown, which l killed on the northern
end of Baikal. They resemble the bears
found in the United States; the differ.
ence is so small, in fact, that only n
student would notice it.
| 81 have Baikal SEAL which is prob
ably the only true fresh.water seal in
the world. 1t is similar to the ordinary
harbor hairy seal Among the fish, l
| found several which belong to the sal
mon family. In. Lake BailIal nearly all
the fish appear to be of this species.
"Tbere is a great deal of interesting
game around Lake Baikal and in the
mountains, and | was very successful,
considering that it was summer and, of
course bad time to hunt.
"The flowers ] picked above the tim.
Der line are much the same as the ones
F., | found in British Columbia, and they
are all specimens of Arctic growth. Z"
Mr.. Mixter said he regretted that he
had not made arrangements to stop over
in Honolulu for a week. because, after
arriving, he had found his few glimpses
of the city and surrounding country
very fascinating He visited the Bishop
! Museum yesterday afternoon, and was
much interested in the exhibits there.
I"I have heard of the Paradise of the
Pacific, and / firmly believe it is no
misnomer, concluded Mr.. MiXter.
In 1908, Mr.. Mixter hunted in Alas
ka and presented the Smithsonian a
number of valuable specimens. He
wrote graphic description of his trip,
which was published in eastern maya
zine, and he will probably give the
huntsmen another treat and an oppor-
tunity to know of the sport around
Lake Baikal, when he reaches the main
land.
