PROPHECY AND SUPERSTITION. _ It was given out some years age that a gypsy, or fake prophet of some sort or other had made a so-called prophecy that the then Prince Of Wales, now KinR Edward, would reign but would never be crowned. As a matter of fact probably not one person in a million of those who read or heard of the fateful prediction knew anything of the name or general repnte of the obscure person who made ,this guess as to the future of a royal ipersonage. Reason would have told any well-balanced mind that it was aguess and nothing more, and that any other person was probably [quite as well quali- iled to foretell what would happen to the King as was the pretended prophet,whoee words in this case obtained so wide a circulation. But reason is seldom per- mitted to have full sway in such matters and a great deal of superstition still lurks in the minds,not only of t-he masses, but of educated persons as well. _ It maybe assumed that some persons believed the prediction outright, while to thousands of others who heard or read it the chances of the King's coronation ever taking place seemed less probable than _ before. A number were ready to wager money on the strength of the gypsy'S prediction long before the King was _token ill. When he was suddenly _stricken down, and the date of the coro- nation as first tlxed had to be postponed, the number of believers of the false prophet was greatly increased. Then . heavy odds were offered by the gamblers with whom the earlier conviction that the _King was fated to die had_become a certainty. And the circle of the credulons ones was widened, while beyond these was a larger circle whose fears as to the outcome of his illness were increased be- cause of the words that had been uttered by an unknown and wholly unreliable person. This latter class apparently in- cluded some high in station and in intel- ligence, and for what we know may have As we know now, the prediction has been entirely falsified. The oracular gypsy jmadeaguess and it proved to be the opposite of the truth. But had it proved to be true and had the King died it would have in no way altered the worth of the so~called prophecy. It would still have been merelyaguess, without any support of fore-knowledge or of in- spiration. Where there are but two chances in the issue any person may hazard a guess with an equal _I Prospect of its proving true or untrue. But had the I King died many thousands of people would have believed that theigypsyiwas inspired by the powers of good or evil and that the prediction was the result of fore- knowledge. ~ This would have been a delusion, of course,but superstition would because of it have increased its hold upon the minds of many. From year to year predictions are made by the modern socthsayers and astrolog- ers, as to the calamities that will befall the world and things that will happen to kings and rulers during the coming year. Several almanacks of world-widenotoriety contain these predictions shaped in such oracular fashion that almost anything which may occur can be claimed as at least a partial fulfilment. One of these almanacks now before us is filled with these guesses :about what will happen to the great ones of the earth during the year 1903. And of course King Edward comes in for frequent mention. In J anu- ary “Uranus threatens danger to our King, particularly near the 7th of the month.” In March “the position of the pouderous planet Saturn augurs ill for the King.” In June “the King' should be careful of his health and person, for the position of Saturn implies danger.” In July “the King will be in great danger ard a severe shock will be given to the ‘nerves of the nation.” Again in October “dangers thick and many will gather about the King.” Even the loyal believer in these silly predictions may take com- fort from the fact that if the King lives to be in danger in October he must neces- _ New" '§\'il'u"K§`§" for ¢~`» ~._ ._ _ _ .
