once predicted he would complete
and thereby survive his oftprog

The self-styled prophet. who per-
sistently preached from his Shiloh
Temple that the world was flat,
died after short illness in Billings
Hospital last night at the age Of
70. He said he would live until
1876.
He made that prediction in 1891,
but he never explained how he
would survive the end of the world,
which mostly recently he set Tor
1913.
Although he confined his activity
principally to the church colony
village of Zion, a community OF
5000 north of Chicago, his fame
spread over the nation through his
many predictions of the end of tue
world, made to the exact day for
various years. All but the most
recent of them already have gone

End In 1943
or his prediction that the world
would end in 1943, Voliva said in
1884 that the period from 1914 to
1928, designated in the Bible as
the time of the end. would reach
world climax in 1886 in world
revolution and chaos. Out OF that,
he said, would come the super
