Reads Popes Future
An Interpreter Of handwriting who
has made an analysis of the Pope's
writing declares that with the mental
md spiritual equipment with which the
Pope is endowed his reign is sure to be
iull Of wonderful Developments
The expert says the handwriting re-
wals a superior spirit of serenity,
eearness and sincerity; that there are
notable indications of mental and
moral force united with a spirit of au-
thorty. The writing shows o person
Of great distinction and simplicity, but
Of little diplomatic quality.

Papal throne there viii be a great op-
portuni for the Roman Church to ad-
vance in the direction of healing the
schism between the Orthodox and Ro-
man churches. 1t is contended that.

Wiki have dealt with so many of the
clergy, help from the Roman Church

81 thoroughly familiar with the Russian
htust'o1, owing to his sojourn in Po-
land.
