[>. S. McDonald, of Biughampton
Made the following prophecies for 1907.
S908 and ’09: In 1907 the spring will be
wet and cold, summer wet, hot and
muggy, fall wet with early frosts. The
Weather will be mild to Dec. 15. 1908
will be cold and gloomy and 1909 will
be a year of terror such as will never
be forgotten by the present generation
Dark visaged men will swarm the
Atlantic coast and heartless heathens
will devastate the Pacific coast, but
they will be driven back into the sea
ad destroyed as so many rats and
vermin.
There will be three-long years of war
for the United States from 1008 to 1911,
with her two most powerfnl enemies—
England and Germany. The Russian
Japanese war will have bees butehild’s
play in comparison, but with a diffe:
ent ending, for England and Germany
will be crushed beyond recovery.
England will lose all her possessions
in the Western world and Germany
will be in helpless slavery to pay the
enormous cost ot war.
“The United States, while she will
suffer tremendous losses of ships and
cities and great loss of life, will ha\o
gained great territory and indemnities,
and, above all, the integrity of the
Union. France will also take advan
tage of the war to gain possession of
territory long coveted from EnglaLd
and Japan.”
The Yellow race (China and Japai )
will also make an unsuccessful attempt
to war on the United States during
this time, but through diplomacy aLd
the frieudship of Russia, France at d
Italy they will gain nothing but tl e
ill will of America.
They accate the postmaster at Butte
of being demented because he g< t
away with §10,000 of goverumei t
money. That kind of insanity seen s
to be very prevalent throughout tie
States at present.

Paralyzed By Fall.
Captain Hanson, who has been pros
pecting for several weeks around
Glacier bay, met with a serious acci
dent about ten days ago, and is now
in the Valdez hospital suffering from
paralysis of one side of the face.
He was carrying a log down the bill
side near the bay, when he slipped and
fell, striking one side of his face against
a large stone and the log falling across
his head. He was unconscious for
some time and when he came to, was
barely able to release himself from
under the log and reach camp, where
he laid for seven days without medical
attendance before word could be sent
to Dryer bay. The Hubbard-Elliott
launch was sent to Glacier bay for
Hanson as soou as news of the acci
dent was received and he was brought
to Valdez last night
The captain was in great agony for
some time and it was feared that be
would rot live until help could be
secured, but he managed to drag
through, although unable to eat, and
now the whole left side of his face is
completely paralyzed.

up this spring.
