The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1913-12-30
A REMARKABLE PREDICTION Is
MADE BY \ FRENCH SEER
EsS, NINE. DE THEBES.

We have entered on the last month
of the year 1913. Hardly have we
become accustomed to writing those
figures when we must change them to
1914. Another year drawing to a
close; another year dawning with its
possibilities,
What will the new year 1914
bring?
This is the time of year when Par
isians look with curiosity to the pub
LEGATION of the almanac OF Nine. de
Thebes. This seerest has been pre-
dieting coming events for several
years, and the conspicuous thing
about her predictions is that many
of them have transpired. There have
been failures, to be sure; but there
have been many things that have
come to pass just as she foretold.
1t was she who predicted the fall
of Khartoum and she it was who
prophesied the assassination Of Sadi
Carnot, president of the French re-
public. who was stabbed to death by
Caserio while driving through the
city Of Lyons. Queen Victoria S
death was also foretold by this re-
markable woman one year before 1t
occurred, while her most startling
prediction was that Of the death OF
President Felix Faure. 1t will be re-
called that Faure passed away sud
denly in the prime of life while en-
joying, apparently the best of health.
Now what does she see in the flu
ture, what for 1914? These are
some of the predictions:
War will continue to menace the
world, as the planet Mars will pre-
dominate throughout the year.
A terrible catastrophe is predicted
in London. The city will be threat
ened by floods as a result of inunda-
tions.
The monarchy will be restored in
Portugal
Profound changes amounting to
political upheaval will take place in
Germany and the national life of that
nation will be completely trans
formed.
The death of the pope is predicted,
and this event will bring about a
great change in Italy. The new pom
tiff will be more friendly to the Ital-
ian government.
Riots Will occur in Austria and
there will be bloodshed in the streets
of Vienna. The Austro-Hungary
dynasty will be sorely tried and will
be in grave peril.
Paris will have a favorable year,
but the republic of France, taken as
a whole, will be afflicted with scan
dals and riots.
America will have a prosperous
year
How many of these predictions will
come true is a question impossible to
answer, but a glance over the proph-
ecies for 1913 made last year by the
seerest is of special interest in this
connection.
In her almanac for 1912" Nine.
de Thebes predicted q series of omi-
nous events, all of which were en-
tfrely probable, and some of the most
unexpected have come true. She an
nounced that 1913, taken as a whole,
would be a bloody year; the second
war in the Balkans and the Mexican
revolution certainly justify that pre-
diction.
Bulgaria, she said, would play a
stupendous role in Europe. This re-
cent events have proved to be
strangely prophetic.
Another prediction included the
forecast of the French seeress was
that Italy would witness a great po-
litical upheaval during the year
1913. Here again have recent events
confirmed Nine. de Thebes words.
At the general elections held this
month in the kingdom of Victor En-
manuel, at which men of all classes
were for the first time permitted to
vote, change of vital importance to
Itsly and involving a complete trans
formation of the political map of that
country took place. The Vatican, set
ting aside its old quarrel with the
Quirinal, permitted Catholics for the
