FRONT STREET, KETCHIKAN
FATE OF SERBIA
WAS PREDICTED
by a man who some thought
WAS A LUNATIC
Every man, woman and child in
t the Balkans knows the history and
the “dark prophecies’’ of Mattheaus
Petrovic, a farmer of Kuna, near
Usice. These prophecies were first
published in 1862 by the French
writer, Andre Barre. in his book.
"Le Tragedie Serbe.” (The Serbian
Tragedy.)
Mattaheus Petrovic, who was con
sidered a lunatic by some of his
neighbors, and a very wise man by
others, was selling cattle on the
* market place, at Usice on June 12,
; 1868. Suddenly he fell into a tran
ce. Raising his arms and pointing to
the north he shouted:
”Woe to us! Assassins are mur
dering our great beloved prince!
Curses on the miserable criminals.
Their knives and sabers are cutting
the body of our prince to pieces.
Woe. woe. The Prince is dead.”
The shouts 3 the obi farmer
threw the multitude on the % qua re
into a panic and several policemen
grabbed him to carry him before a
magistrate- A few hours later a
dispatch from Belgrade Drought the
news of the murder of Prince Mi
chael Obrenoyic III in the park of
Topcider. The farmer was arrested
as a supposed conspiator, but he
quickly proved his innocence. After
his discharge the seer was taken to
Belgrade and questioned by high
officials. During his examination
he fell into a trance again and he
said: *1 see our prince wearing *he
. crown of the king, but he is an un
happy man and will die young, far
from feis wife and child, after losing
, ’-is throne. He will be followed by
t nis son.who will die very young.
Before his death this young king
will talk through the air from Nish
and pirot to Belgrade. He will be
; the last one of the family.
“After his death Serbia wiil be ru*
led by another family for a short
time, but without iuck. great battles
will be fought and the- country will
run with blood. Strangers will
take possession of our land, and ‘
these still living will envy the dead.
These dark days shall pass, how
ever, and finally Serbia will rise in ’
new glory and happiness.”
This prophecy has almost entire
sy become true. The farmer pre
ed the conquest of Pirot and
Nish by the Serbians, the elevation
cr Serbia to the rank of a kingdom,
hr abdication and early death of
forme? K:ng Mslan.the invention
of the telephone, the murder of the
youthful King Aelxander, the rule
of the house of Karageorgievitch,
the Balkan war and the world war.
Only the fall of Karageorgievitch
ar.d the reconstruction of Serbia
have n« yet become facts.
SKYROCKET CAMERA
GERMAN INVENTION
NOW USED GENERALLY FOR
AERIAL SCOUTING
The very latest development of
the an of aerial scouting is a rock
et camera, which is now widely
used 1.. the German armies. The
ir,\e."or, Alfred Maul, has recently
made a public description of the
aparatus. In it he says:
“The carriage provided for the
outfit has a weight of 680 pounds
and serves as a rest or a gnrde in
firing tEe rocket. This vehicle 13
equipped with a range finder. On
the march the aparatus is unjoined
for convenience sake and packed on
two wheels, together with the rock
et boxes.
“When the aparatus is to be used
it is drawn ta the dsired spot and
a -embled. Then, by aid of the
rartgc-fiDde’’, .he direction of tbs
locality to l e pftotogranhed de
tesmined a,. I th* guide wa • is
pointed skyward alter it has re
ceived the rocket. With these pre- j
pa rations complete a heavy weight
is attached to a cord, which is i
wound around the shaft of a gyro
scope. The rocket is now ltndy
to be find.
diiTch “cz.tfcr.sk/ . h
Ignited Electrically
“The rocket is ignited electrically,
by mean* of a light cable at a dis
tance of three hundred feet. The
initial discharge releases the heavy
weight which sets the gyroscope!
spinning. The second electrical im
pulse ignites the rocket charge and
starts it skyward.
“A height of 1,600 feet is attain
ed in about eight seconds. Shortly
before the maximum elevation is
reached the electro-pneumatic con
tact at the top of the hood operates
the shutter and wellnigh simultane
ously frees a parachute. As soon
as the parachute expands the rocket j
parts—*he two sections being con
certed by a line of sufficient
strength, thirty feet long.
“Directly under the hood of the
parachute is the hood of the camera
wfiile the lower body of the rocket
and the guiding rod are suspended
j at the length of the line. This
arrangement makes it possible for
the camera u, land without a jar
bout a rru&ute after the rod hag
i uoma in contact with the ground.
| "The whole outfit is so small that
s it is up in the air and is drawn hack
well-nigh before it is seen at ail.
The photographs obtained, because
they are taken at close range, show
she details of the terrain fullv. and
accordingly they are that much
1 more valuable in guiding the at
tack.”
Regarding his early experiments
and thg need which his invention
was designed to fill, the writer
‘It is not only desirable to have
: knowledge of the enemy's position,
but the attacking commander is
equally anxious to have information
by pictures of the lay of the land
over which his troops must advance.
Such pictures are preferably bird’s
eye views.
"In taking photographs of this
sort it is important that the camera
should be as close as posible. as the
chance of success diminishes with
the distance away. These require
ments cannot be imperfectly met
where the camera is used from
captive ballons, kites, aeroplanes or
dirigibles for the simple reason that
any of these, when flying low, can
easily he destroyed by gunfire.”
SELF-STARTER FLOUR
SIFTER
While the typical cranked flour
sifter fulfills its mission generally
There are some minor drawbacks
connected with its use which are
said to be avoided by a new sifter
which has been recently patented.
The handle of the old sifter, or
its extensions, pasisng over the
mesh sometimes gets a little out of
kelter and the imlement is then
useless. The new sifter is crank
less and is of such simple contruc
tion that it can never get out of
order. The receptacle is supplied j
With a handle extending through I
oneside to the other.
Under this and resting on the
mesh bottom there is an "agitator’1
which consists of a flat coil of
rather heavy wire. When the new |
sifter—a self-starter—is filled and
shaken slightly, the agitator moves
back and froth the mesh and break
up all formations and helps to
force the flour through.

C. P. R. TO INCREASE
. ITS ALASKA SERVICE
That the Canadians are awake to
the rapidly increased Alaska traffic,
is evidenced by the recent announce
ment made by the management- The
company proposes to increase its
steamer service between Victoria
and the north materially. Capt.
J- W. Troup, manager of the British
Columbia caost service, in outlin
ing the program of the company 1
for the forth coming tourist season,
stated that arrangements had been
made for the operations of two ves
sels a week between Victoria and ,
Skagway, via Vancouver, during the
month of July.
“This step has been arrived at as :
a rsult of an unusual advance of
tcunst bookings for the coming sea
son,” said Capt. Troup, “and in or
ier to accomodate the business the
steamer Princess Charlotte will be
utilized for the Alaska service, op
