S. number from here attended the of Madame Until the outbreak of the war her prophetic genius won world-wide renown, but for the last year or two her guessing has been wont to miss rather than mAke the mark. She has been one of the romantic figures of Paris for a number of years. With good looks, magnetic Th9 adcption by the (irey county council of the Rood roads system is undoubtedly appreciated by the pejple of the county. For years other countie.s have benefitted V>y this provision by ihe i)ntario Le^itlature for the c.nstruction of ROjd roads, while Grey county failed to appreciate the advantages. Notwith- •Undini; the tardy movement it will not be surpri.sing if -it the end of ten years this county will have measured up to the standard atUined by other counties where Ihe system has lieeu in effect for some tunc. This will largely be due to the fact that in no county is there a better quality or more generous distribu- tion of good road making material. The adoption of the system naturally Laves the MUi-Ktion of I'le location of the roads and on ex»min»lion ..f the maj» it will | be seen that th.-r- are a number of j leading roads which p»»H through the | counties of Or y, Bruce, Siincoe and | Oufferin. which natural'y will have first CiUiMdoration. In <;rey there is the Toronto and Sydenham road running north from OrangevilU Ihr-uah She'.- burne, Dundalk, Klesherlon. Markdale, HoiUnd Centre, and Chatsworlh on to Owen Sound, giving a straight line to Toron! .. This will have, however, a big bid to becmie the inter provincial high- way. Another road running north is known as the Ouelph road and extends from Mount For.'st throuuh Varney, Durham, Dornoch, Williamaford and Chatswurth toOwen SiuuJ. ijivrng direct access to Hamilton and the Niagaia peninsula. In addition to these roadf. running north and south are two main crossrotds. Ooa runs from Kincardine through to Singhampton by w«y of Walkerton, Hanover, Durhiiii, Priceville and Flcuherton. Another, farther north, origiDttleK at Southampton or Late Huron ahore road, strikes Allenford, JacUson and Owen Sound through to ; Meaford, where it cimnecls with the | road from Meatord to 'JoUingwood and then on b) way of Barrte and Yonge street to Toronto, a section of which will be an inter county r.iad. These roadK, witli tne development of the motor truct, must beci me ailenes of travel and traiisportjition and eventually be of tremendous importance in the develop- ment of the county of (irey, and in fact, all of the (ieorgiaii Bay «:>uth shoie Counties. Other fee<l<rs will be develop- ed in each towinhp, which in time, will give 'he people of ihe county eaHy acri'sS to all the business ceiities in the cuuntiis <)» this district a« well as excellent opportunity of seeing undoub'uJIy the rMM*' p'cturch<|ue â-ºect on o( all western Oai*."o.- (). 8.

[ •Which of the two I cannot tell. ; The future is too dim. Many shape- less shadows pass before my eyes. The sinister old man and the modern Nero. Both of them are marked men. Death follows them and will suddenly betray them lK)th. The Hobeniollern will die a madman or else by violent means, suicide, or as- sassination, I cannot say which. The Empress and Prince Henry of Prus- sia and perhaps one of bis sons, will alone survive the Kaiser." The "old man" referred to is presumably the late Francis Josef of Austria. She foretold with accuracy the date of the death of Pope Plus, and months before the war clouds loom- ed up she prophecied that France in 1914 would be drawn into a great war from which she would emerge victorious. It was the habit of Madame Thebes to issue an annual book of predictions, and in her volume for 1915 she foretold the latest earth- quake In Italy which occurred in January, 1915. Among other suc- cesaful prophecies were the fall of Khartoum, the assassination of President Carnot, and the death of Queen Victoria. One of her really remarkable pro- phecies was that of the great luizaar are which occurred In Paris some years ago, and in which many of the French noblesse lost their lives. It must be admitted that most of Madame Thebes' prophecies regard- ing the war have already proved fallacious, an- her popularity waned in proportion. There was a time wh«n the French people had the ut- most faith in everything their seer- ess told them.
