1ce1and's Prophet.
To the Editor Of The Star,

To the Editor Of The Star,
I was much amused by the ice
1andic Prophecy published in last
Sundays Star. There were one or
two Inaccuracies in it. ut has never
appeared in English"-but 1 saw an
exactly similar deduction" not long
after the czar's abdication, connecting
him with the kaiser and wondering
IL the latter would also abdicate dur
ing that year. Again, this present
prophecy" includes the car among
the rulers who are still reigninK. As
q matter OF fact a similar addition OF
figures would result the same in the
case Of any man. woman or child, in
any place or time. For instance. a
person born in 1850 would be now 6s
years old. Then take any date in
such persons iife-say marriage in
1875 years ago: 1856, year Of birth.
plus ss. the present age. equals 1915:
1872. year OF marriage, plus 4s years
since, equals 1913: Add the four 6r-
ures together and divide by two and
We have 1913. So we see here the
reason for the division BY two.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA

ALEXANDRIA. Va, October 2s.-
Only about one-half Of the allotment
of war savings stamps for this city
has been sold thus far. This means
that Alexandria, during the months
of November and December, will
have to subscribe for $150,000 worth
of these stamps in order to do her
share in the campaign.
The original allotment for this city
was $650,000, but the state director
concluded this was not a fair quota
and reduced it to 100000, which in
cludes $SV0,0V8 for rhrs city and
100000 for Alexandria county.
Those who have signed cards are
requested to call at the banks where
they agreed to purchase and take up
their pledges.
war savings stamps can be pur-
chased at the post office or at any
OF the banks in the city.
