Thc waathcrwise prophets declaro
that thc winter now begun will bc tho
oddest ever known by tho preieut gen
eration. Possibly these .predictions
arc inspired by tho emissaries ot tho
osal trust. At all events tko predic
tions arc very similar to what was
heard last year Josi about this season.
Last year thc prophets said that tho
foy beering animals had oonti much
thicker thea ?sn?l end that therefore
the winter would bo muck colder than
tho average. As A matter of record
last winter WAS rather mild and open.
Perhaps tko prophets have redeemed
their failure ox last year by a success
ful prediction now. Possibly if they
keep on waking ihoto predictions long
enough they wilt hit it right nomo thoo.
