HoultOn Babe Forecasts
Kaiser's Death and Dies
Bangor News, June 20)

From Houlton, Aroostook county,
comes the strange story OF an infant
prophet who, just before her death
few days ago, announced to. her star
tied parents that the Kaiser would
commit suicide in August and the
great war come to a sudden end in
September Of this year.
The child, about six months old, had
never uttered a distinguishable word
I'D to the day of her death, and so, on
the morning Of that day her mother
was electrified to hear her distinctly
say, when the mother had dropped and
broken dinner plate:
Mother you have broken plate!'
When the father returned from work
that evening the mother told him the
strange story of what the baby had
said. The father laughed incredulous-
ly and remarked that his wife must be
dreaming.
well, you try it," suggested tho
wife, whereupon the father dropped
and broke another plate.
Instantly the baby spoke up:
Father, you have broken a plate!"
At this the parents became alarmed.
and sent for neighboring doctor. who
declared that in all his practice he
never had heard of such an instance of
Juvenile precocity or abnormal mental
or lingual development. However, he
said that he would try the experiment
of dropping a plate himself.
At once the baby admonished him.
as 1t had the parents, telling him with
a little more emphasis, that he, too,
had broken a plate.
After a slight pause the infant
startled all by declaring solemnly:
1.-The Kaiser will commit suicide in
August and the war will come to an
end very suddenly in September
A few hours afterward the baby ex-
pired from no cause that the doctor
could discover.
