The queen of Hanover, wife of King
Ernest Augustus Of Hanover DIETER
known as the Duke of Cumberland
son of George III), died at Hanover
about 1912 of an illness which baffied
the skill of her doctors as to it's real
cause. During her illness a clairvoy
ant was consulted. who wrote certain
curious signs and words or the door
of her bedroom; but, although these
mystic words were repeated over and
over again. the queen died. The king
of Hanover after his wife's Death gave
orders that her bedroom should al
ways be kept as though the queen
would sleep there at night. The bed
was turned down. the pillows re-
shaken, hot water brought and the
daintiest slippers laid in readiness for
her.-London Taller.
