PROPHET ARISES
HEIR
Fairbanks Woman Claims Occult
Powers In Regard to War—Will
Knd In Year IOI1I
* '
Many prophecies concerning the
world war hare been made and given
publicity in the press in recent
months; some of the prophecies seem
to have materialized to a certain ex
tent, and same have missed tbe in
tended mark entirely, so It Is a mat
ter of some conjecture whether there
is any means of knowing what is in
store for this troubled old world.
There is in Fairbanks, however, in
the person of Mrs. Fred Meyers (Ma
dame Renlo) one whose Impressions
would be as dependable as those of
other pio^nosticators who have a
wider repute, and at her request is
given the following forecast:
"They (referring to her voices)
tell me that there are to be four oth
ers of the principal nations Involved
in the war before its close, and Am
erica is to have the hardest struggle,
as the conflict will be concentrated
on the individual nations in turn. I
am told that the war will not end un
til 1919. They say there has been
fighting thus far, but it is nothing
compared to what will be before the
close. They say Germany Is stronger
than one has any idea, but she will
lose in the end."
Mrs. Meyers predicted during the
first week of the war that America j
would be Involved, and it may be Jus-1
tiGable to prepare for just such a'
contingency as-she mentioned.
