San >an (!f|j|}) Islander The Tslandkr Co. V^^^K^ Publishers :. Twenty-Second, Year W^ Subscription Price »I.SO a Year Entered at the Postoffice at Friday Harbor, Washington, as second class mail matter OFFICIAL PAPER OF SAN JUAN COUNTY FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1913 Prophetess foretells Events Madame De Thebes, well known prophetess, whom French women consult on the future, and who was a friend of Gen. Boulanger, Dumas fils and other celebrities, has brought out her 1913 almanac, which is always a Parisian event. The prophetess foretells a series of ominous events, among them being: Marriage of the queen of Lux emburg, which will astound the world and damage France's inter ests politically. Paris to be the scene of a terrible theatre fire. French troops will rush to the frontier. German emperor may come to Paris, but not as a king. The pope will die. Italy will witness a political up heaval and perhaps have a new king. The prince of Wales will resign. Poland will be freed. Bulgaria to play stupendous role in Europe. Taken as a whole, 1913 vill be a bloody year. Launch to Replace Guard The U. S. revenue launch to re place the Guard, will in all proba bility be built at the navy yard at Mare island, according to an official report received here yesterday. The new launch will be built of wood and fitted with steam machinery. Oil will be used for fuel. It was thought that the new craft would be built on Puget Sound, but it appears that the bids of the sever al contractors were rejected, the government determining to build the craft at the Mar- island yard. When completed the craft will be towed to the Sound. The Guard was wrecked more than a year ago, having run on a rock on the southerly shore of San Juan island. She was abandoned and sold, the purchaser being a res ident of Bellingham. The Guard was built in Pt. Townsend by E. T. Biggs, who also built the Scout, a sister sh p to the Guard. —Pt. Town send Leader. A fine New Apple E. B. Fowler of Shaw island, has sent me some apples that are cer tainly worthy of being propagated. This is his letter: "I am sending you under separ ate cover a sample of seedling ap ples. I want your opinion whether you thnik they are worthy of pro pogation. lhe tree stands in the sod. never has been cultivated, prunded or sprayed. It is in good creek bottom land. It is a regular brush heap for lack of pruning. It bore three or four apples last year and about two dozen this year. I know this to be a seedling as I planted the seeds myself and took ut> all but two trees in the row and this is one of them. The other nev er bore at all." I confess to no little surprise on receiving the apples. They are large and well colored and of very good flavor. They resemble to some extent the King, but not quite the shape of this famous apple. They are red and somewhat striped. We could hardly class this as a winter apple as the ones sent me were mel low and in fine eating condition the middle of November. For the fall market they ought to be good sel lers. At this time of the year the market is likely to -be overstocked with windfalls and prices are not very good. How long the apple will keep I do not know—the ones sent to me were too good to keep very long.—F. Walden, in The Ranch. WALDRON ISLAND Mr. and Mrs. J.

Th» Ph* TribuU CmMw Pmid to Amadtui of Savoy. The numerous experiments tried and rejected by the Spanish nation during the last century included the short lived government of 1871-3, when a very worthy prince, Ama deus of Savoy, second son of Victor Emmanuel, undertook the difficult business of being king of Spain. Amadeus had to contend not only with the Republicans and with those who desired the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty, but also with the country's rooted prejudice against "the foreigner." In a book entitled "The Secret History of the Court of Spain" are given instances of that bravery that won for the young Italian king the admiration, at least, of his Spanish subjects. On a hot evening the king and queen were returning to the palace after listening to some music in the gardens of the Buen Retiro. Sud denly a vehicle opposed the passage of their carriage by crossing just in front. The coachman checked the horses and prevented a collision, but just then a shot was directed toward the royal party. At this the king sprang boldly to his feet and exclaimed: "Here is the king! Fire at him, not at the others!" But no further attempts were made at assassination, and the reti nue reached the palace in safety. To the king the late hours of the court were particularly disagreeable. At work at 6 in the morning, he rang for his breakfast at 8. Aston ishment was on the lackey's face; it had never been customary for their ex-majesties to be served be fore 11 o'clock! So Amadeus, to avoid friction, adopted the habit of going to a cafe for his early meal. Thus the maids, who sally forth in Madrid with baskets on their arms, would often return to tell their mistresses how they had brushed against his majesty as they did their business in the market place. In one of these early perigrina tions Amadeus noticed that Caste lar, the famous leader of the repub lican party, raised his hat to him. Surprised at this sign of respect from the enemy, the young man stopped and said that he wondered that one of Castelar's opinions should salute royalty. "My salute was not to royalty, sire," replied the orator, with the grace of the Castilian, "out to the bravest man in Christendom." The Word "Picnic." Few people know the original | meaning of the word "picnic." It is to be found set out in the Lon don Times of a hundred years ago: "A picnic supper consists of a va riety of dishes. The-subscribers to this entertainment have a bill of fare presented to them, with a num ber against each dish. The lot which he draws obliges him to fur nish the dish marked against it, which he either takes with him in his carriage or sends by a .servant. The proper variety is preserved by the talents of the maitre d'hotel, who forms the bill of fare. As the cookery is furnished by so many people of fashion, each strives to excel, and thus a picnic supper not only gives rise to much pleasant mirth, but generally can boast of the refinement of the art." Paganini's Promise. One day when in France Paga nini, the famous violinist, took a cab to the theater, where an enthu siastic audience was waiting to hear him perform the famous prayer of "Moise," which he played on a sin gle string. On alighting he said to the driver, "How much do I owe you V* To you," replied the man, "the fare is 10 francs." "What, 10 francs ?" exclaimed PagsninL "Yon are jesting!" "Indeed I am not. Tou charge as much for a seat at your concert" Paganini was silent for a minute and then, with a com placent smile, ht handed the cab man a liberal fare, saying as he did so, "I will pay you 10 franca when you drive me on one wheel V Thm First Sapphire. There is an East Indian legend that Brahma, the creator, once committed a sin that he might know the torments of remorse and thus be able to sympathise with mortals. But the moment he hid committed it he began repeating the mantras, or prayers of purifica tion, and in his grief dropped on the earth a tear, the hottest that ever fell from an eye, and from it was formed the first sapphire. Just For a Starter. "You handle large sums of mon ey in this play—a million or more in every act" "I see," said Yorick Hamm. "And yon mast handle it as if you were used to it" "I see.

The Passing of the Year Suggests the Closi i of the Present Age—The Dawmng of New Year Reminds Us of Nev* Epoch Which God Has Prom ised-Dawning of New Era Is Mani fest to All, but Understood by Few. Louisville. X y.. Dec. 29.—Pastor Russell delivered two addresses bere today. We report one from the text: "He that sat upon the Throne said. Be hold. I make all things new."—Reve lation, xxi. 5. Pastor Russell de clared that the pass ing of tbe'ywir il lustrated the pass ing of the Ages. Labor with sweat of face had culminated in harvests. Bram bles, thorns and thistles had been gathered and burned. These burnings are little Gehenna fires, or tires of de struction, by which all things injurious will be destroyed. In business, the closing year is marked by taking stock, reckoning profit and loss, declaring dividends, advancing faithful servants and discharging the unsatisfactory. Tbe Pastor likened these matters to the closing of one Age and the open ing of another. It is bis opinion that we live in the lapping of the Gospel Age and tbe Millennium. He believes that modern inventions are foregleams of Messiah's Kingdom. The Day of Reckoning. God is briuging Christendom to a great day of reckoning. The Gospel of tbe Kingdom was preached for the purpose of gathering an Elect people ;o be the Bride of Christ and bear His name. »Acts xv, 14>. Incidentally, a great mass of professors have associat ed themselves with the saints of God. but have never been begotten of the Holy Spirit. In the end of the Age, a separation must take place, and the effect will be a general time of trouble. The Harvest of the Jewish Age pic tured the closing of this Gospel Age. There "wheat" was separated from "chaff." In the Harvest of this Age, "wheat" will be separated from "tares." The wheat of the Jewish Age. or "Israelites indeed," were gathered to the garner of Divine favor, by the be getting of tbe Holy Spirit. The wheat of this Gospel Age will be gathered Into tbe Heavenly garner by the First Resurrection. Tbe chaff of the Jewish Age was burned as respects hopes and prospects. Similarly, all tares, or Imi tation Christians, will be destroyed in tbe sense of having their hopes and prospects as the Elect wiped out. The Pastor said that Messiah will make all things new by ushering in the New Dispensation and enforcing right eousness by Divine Power. For a long time Bible students were confused on this subject They thought that God, not content with seeing suffering and distress in the present life, had pre pared an eternity of tortuje at the hands of fireproof demons for all the non-elect. Now. the eyes of our understanding are opening to see God's Love. Now, we see that Satan, "the prince of this world." "the god of this world," is blinding all except God's Elect—blind ing them in respect to God's real char acter and purposes. (II Corinthians iv, 4.) He has taken advantage of human weakness, and appearing "as an of light" has deceived us, sometimes using ministers of Christ and college presidents as his unwitting tools. Satan has interwoven with our theol ogy St Paul styles "doctrines of demons." (1 Timothy It, 1.) Many serve him ignorantly, "not knowing the Scriptures, nor the Power of God." Jesus declares that He will bind Satan, "that he may deceive tbe people no mere until the thousand years" of the Kingdom be "finished." «t Make All Things New." The first thing that Messiah will make new will be the "Heavens"—the Church in glory. The next thing made new will be the "earth"—society recon structed along the lines of righteous ness. Evidently tbe Lord does not mean that there will be a new Heavens of Divine abode, or a new physical earth. St Peter declares that the present "earth" will be consumed by "fir*.** tfl Peter til, 10.) Tbe heat of angry p* utons, already engendered between the elements of society, will before toa* break forth in "fire.- to destroy the present order of things. This strife will extend to the ecclesiastical struc ture, so that the present "heavens, be ing o» fire.** shall pass away. Then the Prince of Glory win establish "the New Heavens and Earth"—the new so cial order based on Justice and Love. Let us remember, however, that all professing the name of Christ now stand before His judgment seat, to give account of our conduct as pro fessed members of the Church of the First-borns. Some with Joy will hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant! Enter thou Into the Joys of thy Lord." Others will bear the Master's voice say ing. Depart from Me. I cannot recog nize you. In My name ye prophesied (preached), cast out devils and did mar velous works But ye were servants of Satan and accomplished iniquitous work, even though ye called it Mine,— Matt v«. 21-23; Luke vl. 4t>; xiiL 25-2& Morse Hardware Co. 1025-1039 Elk Street. 28 Years in Business.
