PREDICTS END OF THE WORLD IN 1982

Dr. Stevens, Chronologist, Forecasts an Earth-Destroying Earthquake. MORE TREMORS OF EARTH HE SAYS THAT AT THE TIME OF THE FLOOD THE EARTH SLIPPED AND IS NOW REGAINING ITS NOMAL POSITION. Publishers' Press! Washington, Aug. 2G. Edmund Scribner Stevens, Ph. D., the "great bible scholar and chronologist," as his card puts it, now of Washington, but formerly of Lebanon, Pa., predicts more disastrous earthquakes, and says the end of the world will come in. 1982. This is the explanation he gives of conditions: "The earth is out of her place, or upright position. It is gradually resuming it. Whenever there is an accelerated or faster motion, then, in that period, earthquakes occur. We are now in one of those periods, from Mt. Pelee, 1&00 to 1D13. Again from 1925 to 19i6Vjs; again from 19G5 to 2000 A. D. "In 19S2 thewearthquake is of such extent that all the cities of all the nations will fall. From 20.15 to 3144 A. D., the earth is in continual perturbation, and in the latter year settles to its upright position. This brings in the new heaven and new earth." Stevens says after the . flood the earth slipped a quarter way round on its axis, and that it is now regaining its normal position. He points with glee to the fact that when Wellman and other explorers go searching for the North Pole, up above Iceland, they are really on the trail of the actual equator, and that it wouldn't be the North Pole even if they. found it. Stevens says that every once in a while some cause sends the earth about more rapidly than usual, and earthquakes result. To use his own' words: "The exoteric principle of this is that whenever the velocity of the ter raqueous oblate sphereoid which we inhabit becomes excessively accelerated in its paracentric deviation from its accustomed orbit, and the momen tum of its revolutions through the atmosphere increases in a corresponding ratio, the extraordinary conditions combine to produce tremendous subterraneous concussions, which necessarily execute much desolation on the surface." I Tie I anal Fate. Contentment's better far, they say. Than wealth, but, oh. my brother, "We Just plod on from day to day With neither one nor t'other! THE ROYL BOX.

Aug. 26. -Two brothers, Alfred and Frank Blanchard, were shot and probably fatally in jured tonight by George Niles, whom they assaulted because he persisted in paying attention to their sister, after they had forbidden him not to do so Niles had been going with the young woman for some time, but her par ents found faultwith Jier-suitor on the ground that she was too young. The Blanchard Brothers notified Niles, who is an electrician in the employ of the Springfield Electric Company .that he must remain away from the house. He did so for a time, but met the girl after church this morning and escort ed her to her home. He then went to his boarding house after promising to call tonight. The promise was overheard by Frank Blanchard, and he got his brother, and they went to Niles" home this evening, finding him swing ing in a hammock reading. They at tacked him and were badly beating him when he managed to draw a revolver and fired two shots, both taking effect. Alfred Blanchard was shot through the abdomen and Frank through the lungs. They were taken to a hospital, where their condition tonight is very critical. Niles was arrested and held to await the result of their injuries.

LIGHTNING CUT A ! VERY FUNNY CAPER

E. H. Swain Had His Shirt Sleeve Burned While at the ( Country Club. WAS SITTING ON PORCH LIGHTNING RUNNING ALONG LIVE WIRE SHOT OUT IN A BLAZE FRO MA SMALL INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULB. E. H. Swain. 301 North Tenth St., had hi3 shirt sleeve set afire bv light ning while he was siting on the porch of the Country Club house yesterday morning during the storm. No injury other than the slight burning of the sleeve was done. Mr. Swain was sitting on the porch beneath one of the small incandescant electric lamps attached to the roofing of the veranda, when an especially sharp streak of lightning struck one of the main electric wires, burning out the fuses and running along the wires. The streak had about spent its force when it reach ed the particular lamp and in some mysterious way dropped to Mr Swain's arm, where it set the cover ing afire. Before personal injury could result, the flame was extingu ished. Probably no more unicue and weird effect of lightning has been re ported in the State than this, with the almost phenominal escape from injury.

"The pride; of Norway" is little Prince Olaf , heir to the throne of King Haakon VII. ' lie Is only three years old, and for two of those years he was not a Norseman, but already his sunny smile and laughing blue eyes have brought the kingdom to his feet. When he first went to Norway the royal gardens had to be closed to tho public because his feminine admirers CItOWN PRINCE OIiAF. Insisted on kissing him as his nurse rolled him along In his buggy until it was feared he would be kissed to death. No one had a better time at the coronation at Trondhjem than Olaf. He didn't have to take a royal oath, like his father, or make or listen to tiresome addresses. All he had to do was to enjoy himself and investigate everything. The royal British yacht Victoria and Albert interested him greatly, and he spent most of his time aboard it with his little English cousin, Princess Mary. The yacht had to fire a good many salutes, and every salvo brought Olaf and Mary on deck to see what it was all about. Between salutes they "inspected" the ship. On land, when he wasn't wanted for exhibition purposes, Olaf was trotting around with Dr. Nansen, the arctic explorer, and probably heard a fine lot of polar bear stories. King Haakon's advisers say that If anything goes wrong the people's love for Olaf will smooth the trouble over. The little crown prince was born July 2, 1003, at Sandringham, England, where his mother, Princess Maud, was visiting her father, King Edward. The baby was christened Alexander Edward Christian Frederick, but when he moved to Norway he had to have a Norse name, and Olaf was chosen as typically Scandinavian. - Two : of a Kind.
