John Milton
BY S. SIVAYOGAN,
Inter-Science.
COV,
+ + O
The name of John Milton has been immortalised by his universally known work "Paradise Lost." He was born in a staunch Puritan family in 1608. His father was a Notary', who himself was a composer of melodies. The younger
Milton was very studious and his father encouraged him-perhaps, a bit too far-- for he tells us "from the twelfth year of my age I scarce ever went to bed before midnight."
The fickle Dame Fortune, as ever, IF played false with Milton. He was blinded
—but that bitter experience was yet far off. He seemed to have realised that he was a man in a million and was destined to perform a special task. He was preparing himself for this noble purpose all along He was very selfless in his great service to humanity. When he was in Cambridge for about six years he wrote minor poems in Latin and English which Tere exercises for the infinitely greater | work to follow. Two of these stand out in prominence. They are the ode "On the Morning of Christs' Nativity," and the sonnet "On Having arrived at the age of Twenty-three." The former shows his vast learning, the blending of classical and Christian knowledge, the rolling, sonorous language and the organ-music which adorn the later and much greater |

Jork. The latter shows that Milton nxiously realises that he is still a drone en the world's hive. He says:- Yet be it less or inore, cr soon or slow, It shall be still in strictest measure even To that same lot, however mean or high, Toward which Time leads me and the will
E of Heaven." This realisation at the end of his uni-ersity career led him to retreat to the fair quiet" of Horton, where he spent _nother five years of study and contemolation. Here he produced the twin Poems "L'allegro" and "Il Penseroso." Both are pen-pictures of himself in two lifferent moods. The former in a mirth. ul mood, the latter in a sober, austere rame of mind. Though, unlike Shakesleare, he looked at nature through the pectacle of books from an arm-chair, he ere, describes beautifully the life in a uiet village. Here is an instance where filton sheds off his cloak of sobriety and eveals his true, inner self. | He is the author of the finest masque 1 the English Language, "Comus." 'hough it is didactic-more of a sermon nan an entertainment--it is unparalleled s a passage of poetry of sustained dignity nd beauty. His elegy "Lycidas" on the eath of King, a contemporary of his, is
milar in tone--a puritan protest against ne impurity of life. He attacks the lergy of his time with much impetus. Iark Pattison, no mean authority, calls Lycidas” as "the high-water mark of
nglish poesy." In 1638 he went on a grand Contiental tour and returned to England

when he heard of that dire struggle which was splitting England into two For some time he published pamphlet for the Puritan cause.
In 1650 his left eye was blind. In spite of the warning of the doctors, he
worked harder. His noble spirit of sacri fice rose above all selfish promptings. It is here we raise our hats to this man o sublime personality, who saw much in his blindness. When he was fully blind he wrote "Paradise Lost" and "Samson Agonistes." In these two poems the personality of the blind poet lurks everywhere. "If Shakespeare is the supreme poet of nature, Milton is of divine; his work is grand, almost beyond the mortal reach."
"Samson Agonistes" is the story about his own bitter sruggle against the colossal difficulties, which his blindness showered on him. Now he complains "O Loss of sight, of thee I imost complain," but, ere long, comes the reply "They also serve who stand and wait." In this the most human of Milton's Works-he gave expression to all the bitterness, des pair and grief the loss of sight meant to him. He passed away in 1674, serenely like the conclusion of this poem with a "calm mind, all passion spent.'"

A jocund company of 40 of us inclu. ding 4 very jolly teachers started on a four days' tour on the 31st of April. On the appointed day we got into our spaci. ous bus at about 2 o'clock in the evening and proceeded non-stop to our first halting station, Pallai. Mr. Rajanayagan, the Post Master, received us with pleasure and entertained us to a sumptuous and delicious tea. After our hearty bite and

ING HINDU
| long drinks, a group photo was taken with
Mr. Rajanayagam, our generous host, as the central figure. With three hearty cheers to the Post Master we left Pallai and journeyed on through the evercrowded greenery of Elephant Pass and “Kulaikadoos" to the Murukandy Pillaiyar Temple, as the glorious rays of the setting sun were gradually sinking behind the dense foliage. All cur howling and shouting gave place to order and piety, when we stood before this venerable God—the dread of the jungle traveller. We left the temple to its own solitude and proceeded with eagerness to reach Omantai, the next place of interest where we found one of our old boys who is an apothecary. We also found tlfat many of our companions were more at home with the stray buf. faloes than with us, and, what is more, our expert camera-men never missed a buffalo! All this cordiality and friend. liness with the buffaloes and monkeys are really links in our chain of ancestry! We
were no doubt late to reach Vavuniya, and we very much regretted that we had caused anxiety to our hosts there. We spent a very good time at Vavuniya going about sight-seeing; that being over, we enjoyed hearty meals with Messrs. Ratna . sabapathy and Thambipillai. The night was spent happily in singing and dancing while the Petromax lights in the street gleamed right into the house. Night over,
Mr. Vallipuram, an old boy of our College invited us to morning tea. We were there at his house enjoying the cheering cup. All these over, a group photo having been taken with our hosts as central figures, we left Vavuniya, the place of
many friends, at 7-30 a. m.
We reached historic Anuradhapura, at 9 o'clock---a very busy time of the day. This place of famed interest cannot be pictured to you in words; even canvas and brush cannot do full justice to the beauty of this place. Hence, without attempting description, we can only mention that we visited all the ruins, the dagobas and tanks of our one-time

capital. One of our party almost fatigued |
with walking about, hastily retired to a shady tree and refused to accorpany us for the rest of our wanderings to the Thuparama Dagoba. Mr. K. V. Mylvaganam nursed him well and gave him encouragement. All these over, we were in the spacious hall of "The Vivekananda Society'' enjoying the hearty mea's provided us by Mr. Sivacolunthu, who, though he has a very wide practice as a lawyer, found time at the sacrifice of his much needed leisure to attend to us personally. The meals were brought in his cars to the hall and served lavishly to us by, a posse of servants. Our generous host himself served us and dined with us. This hospitality is unique in many senses. His services along with the help and co-operation of Mr. Ramasamy, Crown Proctor, and the acting Police Magistrate, Mr. Sittempalam, depict the true Hindu practical philosophy. Further the large and spacious **Vivekananda Hall," set beside the Hindu temple, amidst a sea of green fields is an emblem of Tamil unity and service in the once-famed Tamil Elara's capital.
we thank them not only for the rich service done to us but also for the everlasting service done to the Tamil Community. Mr. Ramasamy's words of adFice to dwell outside our native land is an appropriate clarion call to the youths cf the country. He expects very youth that passes our portals to do his duty by This fellowmen. In the evening after a urtle more sight seeing, we proceeded to
inintale; we arrived at this place at albout 5 o'clock and did a little bit of mountain climbing. While we were Engaged in admiring the beauty of the pilsce, rain threatened us and we were Fianced to take shelter in a rock-temple

retired to bed. In the small, cold and calm hours of the morning we motored off towards Trincomalee, fresh with the generosity of our Anuradhapura hosts.
We halted at Kanya, at the hot water springs. The warm waters of the seven springs envigorated us for the rest of the day. We continued our journey and alighted at Trinco where Mr. Sithiravelu had a home ready for us. He, the ladies, and the children had evacuted their home for us. This was the climax of our trip.
We spent a whole day and night with them, but their hospitality never seemed to weary when forty of us were in and out of the place. They were anxious to make us spend another day but our programme ended on Monday morning, - Before we left Anuradhapura our hosts told us that we must forget the idea of seeing the Naval yard and China Bay tanks. Mr. Sithiravelu, had induced Mudaliyar Saravanamuttu to obtain permission from the authorities to show us those places of interest. The Mudaliyar, amidst his V. C. election work and office work, did not fail to make us happy. He accompanied us to the Naval Yard and the Fort Frederick to show us these places. He had obtained the necessary permission for us and when we took our bus inside the Naval Yard we felt as if we were the chosen people of God. The honour was due to the Mudaliyar to whom we send three times three hearty cheers. The cameramen had one regret; they had to "box" their cameras for fear of having them confiscated by the naval authorities.
What long faces, had they been photographed! - We stayed over night at Mr. Chithiravalu's place. The next morning after offering our heartfelt thanks to our worthy nost and Mr. Kanapathipillai, we left Trincomalee, rather reluctantly, with our minds full of everlasting and refreshing nemories. We arrived at Jaffna at 5-30 2. m. on Monday.

The Power of Thought
BY P. BALASUBRAMANIAM,
Pre. Matric. B.
It is the power of thought that controls ll other powers and does creative work. The World's greatest inventions and liscoveries, Electricity, Radio, Aeroplanes, X-rays and Television are just the results of the Power of Thought. They each mark En epoch in human history. It has been proved beyond a shadow of doubt that Thought is an actual substance generated py the brain and so mighty is its operation on the human system that it can createt can kill—and it can also cure even vhen death seems imminent.
Supposing a woman is eagerly expecting aer son home. Suddenly a man turns up and tells her that, while crossing the treet, her son had met with an accident nd was killed on the spot. What happens? The poor woman drops senseless on the ground. A thought has acted upon ier with the effect of a bullet from a gun. She is so much grieved that she is almost lead-killed by a thought. But now let is assume that afterwards she is removed o bed and in the hours that follow she is inking fast until death is very close. At his juncture, her son arrives to the Istonishinent of all and it is found out hat the news about the accident was alse. What happens now? The woman sets up from the bed and seems to be juite all right. She is almost cured. | Try this experiment: Walk across a plank between the roofs of two high buildings; t cannot be done easily. Try to walk Lcross the same plank laid on the ground; t is easy. What is the difference? Thought. This clearly illustrates how a thought of

Page 8
THE YOU
fear can stop you from doing things which you otherwise can.
Take another example. You are in a field and see a mad bull rushing towards you. You think you may be attacked the next moment. There is a consciousness of danger in you. Your mind gives orders to various departments of your body. Nuinerous glands in your body set to work. They secrete various juices to give you necessary strength which is not for the fight but for the flight. You accumulate extra-ordinary strength in a few seconds. and run with a speed you had never before dreamt of. The strength of a horse and the fleetness of a deer are yours for a brief instant, long enough to get you out of peril. Can you explain where this power comes from?
You know these incidents to be absolutely true to life. You have seen similar cases yourself. You have had similar experiences and in an emergency you have done things seemingly impossible. This proves that within you are latent forces which, if you only can draw on at will, can accomplish remarkable feats and there is no limit as to what you can achieve. They work miracles if correctly used,
In the grey matter of your brain there are between. 9,000,000,000 and 1,30,000,000,000 cells, all capable of doing unusual work if you will only give them a chance. You have seen from the preceding instances what Thought Power can accomplish. Let us consider for a moment another aspect of this mighty force.
A It is invisible and yet most powerful in this world. You know that in Nature the invisible substances are more powerful than the visible. You have never seen the force called gravitation. You never have seen the energy called electricity, radio

NG HINDU
waves, explosive gases, magnetism and X-rays. None of these things in themselves, are visible, any more than is the Thought. Yet we see or feel the results and reactions of these forces every day in our da:ly lives. Strange though it may seem, Thought is the greatest and mightiest of all. It is not only powerful but creative, constructive and intelligent. All other forces mentioned above are reduced to practical service by the application of machinery but it is different with Thought. It requires no machinery to guide it or control it except your will-power.
Thought like Radio waves can move into space without any visible conductor and can meet the thought atmosphere" of another person and can influence hiin to the extent of its intensity and the correctness of its application. You have often noticed that sometimes you think of a person and to your astonishment he turns up at once. Sometimes you utter his name and he is there. This is the operation of "Telepathy" or "Thought Transference" What happens is, when he is approaching you, he deeply thinks of you and thus unconsciously cends out a thought force which affects your mind | causing you to form a mental picture of
him in your mind. You, being quite unaware of this process, accept rhe mental picture as your own and are influenced. The human mind is equipped to receive as well as send out “thought force'' and this is the backbone of this amazing science of Mental Magic. The greatest power is heard and not felt.
Therefore, to achieve anything, all you have to do is to control your Thought Power without going beyond the border of practical living and to use it consciously and wisely. Further, it must have intensity and impetus to flow into space and return with definite results. Intensity and impetus can be imparted
with a little concentrated effort

She is no longer a child !

In the distant past, Japan in the Far East, by her seclusion, enjoyed a state of isolation. She remained unknown and unheard of beyond her boundaries. In her history of the medieval ages, we find instances of terrible Civil Wars. The people were not an united race; but there were mahy, clans among them. Communal bitterness and difference pervaded the
minds of the people, with the result, there was always in Japan a state ol communal antagonism. Disunion and disorder held fast the land.
A mighty emperor, at this state of affairs, ascended the throne of Japan. He was a noble king and a man of outstanding genius. It was during his benign rule that the western power, England, came into contact with Japan, Western system of education and the Christian Religion began to spread far and wide in Japan. Soon she threw off her mantle of seclusion and put on instead, tlhe gariment of Europeanism. The land of the Rising Sun undertook to send some of her best intellectual men to the countries of Europe to absorb and bring home a knowledge of the West. They imbibed the progressive methods of the West in the fields of Education and Culture. A compulsory, free education was introduced and encouraged in Japan, thus affording a golden opportunity for all those who wished to be educated,
This Western system of education had a firm foothold in the country, and, to a certain extent, stood as a main support i for the political advancement of the country. The Japanese who had drunk the dregs of "Westernism" were stirred by theo spirit of inationalism. They thought that a reformed government was an urgent necessity. Therefore they planned the f
og b o . H C DJ

G HINDU
he best methods for the government's incernal reconstruction. The Feudal nobility were deprived of all their ar istaeratic ways of rule and rendered poweress in Japan. A complete change in the outlook of life began to prevail. The Covernment was the copy of the German nodel; alliances were formed with European nations; her army, navy, and ir-force were improved to a high standard. Chus Japan has maintained a conspicuous -osition among the World powers today.
Her rise to a supreme position was narked clearly in her great victory in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904. With a ew thousands of men she ably defeated millions of Russians. Again in the Great Nar she played an important part on her own waters. In the present Sino-Japanese conflict her eminence is well known.
Japan has risen, apart from Education und politics to a first-rate industrial sation. Her rise has been by leaps and lounds. The influence of the industrial evolutions was felt at a very late date 1 Japan and her up-hill efforts have nabled her to cut a leading figure in the Commercial World of to-day. Industries ave sprung up like mushrooms in every ook and corner of Japan, and cities like Yokohama, Tokyo and Osaka have roved to be the best industrial centres f the world. Her overseas trade is ourishing at a rapid rate and her cheap oods have inundated the world markets.
The rise of Japan is indeed amazing nd her prominence in the fields of Eduation, Politics and Commerce is unhallengeable. The country, which was nce in utter obscurity, has emerged and, p the dread of all the world, participates I those fearful events which control the estiny of the world, at present. To-day, le challenges the supremacy of the soilled "invincible nations." Therefore 1e is no longer a child, no longer an fant nation, but a strong, powerful and ll-fledged Empire.

THE YOι The Boom of the 9'2 inch Guns and the Anti-air
craft Display
BY T. SOMASEKARAM,
Matric A.
Recollections of the events of the 26th day of April, a Wednesday, still haunts my memory as it should haunt everyone who was present at the spectacular display at the Galle Face battery. 8 o'clock was the appointed time for the firing. But, unfortunately, clouds and the passing of some steamers from the harbour, delayed the shooting by an hour.
There were thousands of people around the battery beyond the fenced ropes who came to witness the demonstration. The officers, students, business men and all others were sharp at the spot to have a view of the events, but turned to their respective offices when it was announced through the loudspeakers that the firing had to be delayed for some minutes. The ladies all appeared, in their motley gowns and gay sarees, their curls Well parted on temples, faces well powdered, lips painted red and with high heeled shoes or sandals. They were not so impatient as the males and so they persisted in seeing the thing through. The cars and bicycles that were parked near the victory column were past numbering. In the meantime there were such intruders as the sweetmeat seller, busy disposing their articles crying out "Labhai Labhai" "Saththahatta Haththarai" etc. The cameramen were accominodated in the battery-standing.
When everything was ready, at the word "Fire," the sixteen of the artillery inen manned the gun, while all others were with their hands to their ears. Immediately a huge flash at the mouth of the gun, a thunderous booming noise, and a shake of the earth followed. Soon after, the sound reverberated all round the horizon. By this time the men had let

JNG HÌNDU
| down their hands and were busy watch
ing the shell keenly in the direction of the whizzing sound which travelled at a high velocity. But they could see only a huge spray of water in the sea some
miles beyond, rise, which indicated the place where the shell fell. It contained high explosives as would be sufficient to scatter or sink large war-ships. Similarly there were fourteen reports seven from each gun, and it was reported that the guns were perfectly in order.
The anti-aircraft display was well attended, and started at 5 p. m. It provided more thrills to the onlookers than the morning's demonstration. The two guns which engaged the bombing aeroplane by fire had neither the maximum blast nor the target. The plane was supposed to attack or bomb the harbour and the State Council Buildings and the anti-aircraft guns were to engage them by fire and they did it to the satisfaction of all.
These two demonstrations were more meant to do propaganda work, than to provide amusements to the public. There was great satisfaction that they were successful in their aim. Colonel White, speaking through the loud-speakers, advised those eligible to join the C. D. F. or A. A. R., Diplomatically he expressed his views thus:- "Delay on the part of men who are eligible may well result in personal family losses." At present we learn that thousands of young patriots
have joined the Ceylon Defence Force.
But I am afraid all these are unnecessary precautions. Because the firing of guns in Colombo itself can destroy the city before an enemy could pull them down. On the day the 9°2 inch guns were tested in Colombo the C. T. O. buildings cracked. This is a case which is understandable. What of the Fisheries Research Station? The building work is scarcely over and it is cracked. If we are going to set fires to our own homes, why mind somebody else doing it free of charge?

EDITORIAL NOTES
We have all come refreshed after enjoying our New Year holidays and we hope to the very good work this term. The Matriculation and the J. S. C. Students are doing good work in view of their examinations due next month.
Our wrestlers are busy training them. selves for the All-Ceylon and Y. M. C. A.
Meets and we feel sure that some of them at least will do well,
The Volley-Ball Tournament has begun, but primarily this Term will be devoted to Athletics so far as Sports are concerned. It will not be an easy task to secure a high place at the J. S. S. A. Meet this year too, and we therefore hope that everybody will help our Sports-Master chiefly by seeing that there is regular attendance.
At the end of last term, on the closing day, we had our usual Concert followed by the Boarders' Lunch to the Staff. During the holidays a party of about 150 consisting mainly of the Staff and Students of the Sri Rangam High School paid us a visit and were our guests for a few days. During their stay we had a very happy time with them. We played some matches with them, descriptions of which are found elsewhere in this issue.

THE YO An Interesting Cricket
Match The Staff vs. The Students of
Jaffna Hindu College Brilliant Captaincy by Mr.
N. N. Sastri
The New Playground of the Jaffna Hindu College was the venue of an inter esting Cricket Match on 29-3-39, between the Staff and the Students of the Jaffna
Hindu College. The match (according to the Score-book) ended in a last minute win for the staff by 4 runs. The students had their regular Inter-collegiate team and, having lost the toss, were sent in to bat. Mr. Rajaretnam and Mr. Thambu who were famous bowlers during their younger days, opened the bowling, and the former got the first two wickets for no runs, the second man being out to a difficult running catch at deep fine leg by Mr. Sabaretnam, a quondam Intercollegiate player.
With the arrival of the Students Captain, the runs came easily as the fieldsmen seemed sphinx-like in their calm fixity. Most of them were fat and forty but they fought though fatty Special mention must be made of the brilliant fielding of the Staff Captain, Mr N. N. Sastri, and of Mr. Jeyaveerasinghe Mr. K. V. Mylvaganam, the well-knowr Sportsman, moved lithely along the boundary line like a panther, all dark grace. After about 175 runs had beer scored, Mr. Asaipillai captured 2 wicket: in consecutive balls, the first of which was due to a brilliant bit of stumping by Mr. SundaraRajah. The Students' total realised 210 runs, Pancharatnam, Rama

lingam and Perera scoring 70, 48, and 38 respectively before they retired. Mr. Asaipillai had the best bowling average, capturing 2 wickets in 3 overs for 17 runs.
After a sumptuous tea Mr. Sastri and Mr. Sinnathamby (the Hostel Warden) opened the College innings. The former swung his bat in an orthodox manner, but, after a good stay at the wickets, had to retire having tired and defied the bowlers who were forced to lose their length. It transpired that he had been
misdirected by the students who had told him that he should not step out of the popping crease. As he stated later he could have hit the balls more easily had he not been misinformed.
Mr. Sinnathamby played some beautiful shots and scored 27 before he was run out. Mr. Rajaratnam and Mr. Sabaretnain reproduced some of the shots of their playing days, the former scoring 15 and the latter, 12. Mr. Thiagaraja, the College Librarian and Sports Master, and one time famous athlete, played good cricket, though he was not so dashing in his play as his captain. He scored 25 including a glorious six before he was run out. Messrs. Sundararajah, Rasiah and K. V. Mylvaganam displayed excellent form the last named playing a very loud innings which included a six. They scored 13, 6 and 13 respectively. Mr. Saravanamuttu and Mr. Thambu then put up a good partnership. The latter, scoring chiefly with hooks to square leg, made the top score of 36 before he retired. Then followed another partnership between Mr. Jayaveerasinnhe and
Mr. Asaipillai, the former scoring 14 which included two crisp shots to the off and the latter scoring 25 not out.
The Staff innings realised 214 walks. Thus the match ended in a victory for the Staff by 4 runs.
The large crowd of spectators in. cluded several ladies. A really interest. ing afternoon,

THE YOU
Jaffna Hindu College Sri Rangam High School
FOOTBALL The above match was played on the Hindu College grounds on Monday, the 10th of April, at 4-30 p. m.
The tourists winning the toss elected to attack with the wind but the college defence was impenetrable for them to bring forth any results. The Hindu forwards, though lacking in combination, imade many dangerous imoves and more than once just missed the target, the ball grazing the posts on the outside. Just before half-time a high kick by a Hindu full was misjudged by the opponents' custodian and an easy goal resulted.
The second half saw keen soccer with the tourists persevering well to find the equaliser. A beautiful move by the tourists' forwards and a marvellous oblique shot by their centre-forward gave them a well-deserved goal, just before the final whistle blew.
The match ended in a draw.
CRICKET Hindu College winning the toss elected to bat. Mr. Thiagarajah and Karthigesu opened for the College and were well set, especially the former who was scoring at a rapid rate. The High School's fielding
was superb and no runs were given away in vain. The score mounted gradually and when 8 wickets were down for 128, the captain declared the innings closed and allowed their opponents to bat.
- The High School batsmen failed to make any impression except for their captain who made a valuable 20. Their innings terminated at 92, thus leaving the college victorious by 36 runs, Mr. Thiagarajah bowled best for the College.

VOLLEYBALL Later in the evening the college met the tourists in a Volley Ball Match in the College Quadrangle. This was by far the most interesting item on the programme. Three games were played of which Hindu College won two and Sri Rangam one.

THE YOUN Why Hitler doesn't like his Destiny
It was a Jewish spiritualist who, in a trance, told Hitler his destiny. And Hitler didn't like it--still doesn't like it as day by day predicted doom draws nearer.
This year, 1939, will mark. Hitler's death by the hand of an assassin--that was the medium's message. The medium who made the prediction never made another. He himself met a violent death a few weeks later.
The whole facts of this amazing prediction have never before been - made public. In Germany they are known to only a few. Those few are chiefly the people who knew Erik Jan Hanussen, the Jew who predicted Hitler's death by violence for this year.
Hanussen was an Austrian Jew who a few years ago changed his name from Hermann Steunschneider and went to Berlin. He had already become converted to spiritualism, and in Berlin he rapidly became known as a reliable
medium.
His gift brought him into touch with many important people. It was to make friends for him, and to make enemies. It was to lead him, a Jew, to no less a person than Hitler himself.
The first intimation Hanussen had of any official notice of his clairvoyance came in February, 1932. He had moved into a new home and was giving a house
warming party on February 26.
Among the guests who came was an official of the Berlin police, who suggested that Hanussen should demonstrate his powers.
The police official, when Hanussen went into a trance, placed in his hands a sealed envelope.
Prophecy came true "Inside that envelope," he said, "there!

G HINDU

are several questions to which I would like answers if your spirit guide can give them."
Remember, Hanussen was in a trance. Mediums do not know what message they get when in that state. They are merely, in fact, the "mediums" for the messages from the Other Side.
- Hanussen received the envelope, held it a monient, and then gave the answers. Dne of these answers was in the following
Nords.
"I see the Storm Troops marching into the Wilhemstrasse. I hear the people shouting for Herr Hitler. He appears. It Is his victory, a great victory......The noise s drawing nearer and nearer. There is no Gghting and shooting.
"But I see flames leap up suddenly...... The Reichstag building is ablaze... Who has set it on fire?...Wait... Alas, the guilty parties are criminal incendiaries wearing uniform..."
The police official was taking notes of he words. When the seance was over he ose and left the house. | The next evening devastating fire broke but in the Reichstag building and it was vurned out!
Ycu remeinber that the Nazis an1ounced to the world that the Comnunists were the incendiaries.
There were, however, whispers that the ire had been started by men of Hitler's
wn party.
Within a few weeks of Hanussen's prophecy he was asked to visit the office of the chief of the Berlin police. He vent there, was taken in a car to a Government building, and ushered into a arge room. | Into that room, it is now revealed, ame Hitler. He talked to Hanussen, sked him if he really had the power to ee into the future. The medium replied hat personally he could not do so, but is gift of clairvoyance made messages ossible.

THE YO
Coming back from that intervier Hanussen told his secretary that he ha been asked by Hitler to become h
medium.
Chalet Seance After this he had several interview with Hitler, once going to his mountai chalet at Berchtesgaden, his secretar accompanying him.
It was there that the fate of Hitler wa predicted at the end of a seance.
First Hitler plied the mediuin wit questions as to the success of his plan the triumph of his career. Hanussen Secretary was taking notes in shorthand.
The replies filled Hitler with deligh He heard that his various annexation would meet with no opposition. Every thing would work out as he desired.
And then came the announcement tha made Hitler leap to his feet.
"You will trumpet up to 4 point, bio at the moment when you think you hav
mastered Europe you will fall..."
"Impossible!” cried Hitler, "I am th instrument to save Germany."
"You will fall," continued the medium: "You will die a violent death toward the end of the year 1939."
The Dictator broke into a torrent c protest that finished the seance. brought Hanussen out of his trance vic lently, and the shock upset him so tha the Secretary thought he would collapse.
However, the medium overcame th physical reaction and he and his Secre tary returned to Berlin.
That was the last time that Hanusse saw Hitler ! - Later he heard from his Secretar some of the things he had said to Hitle while in the trance; but he had no feat for the believed he was being used by th Other Side.
A few weeks later Hanussen made a appointment to meet his Secretary at cafe in Berlin.

The Secretary was there. Hanussen
did not arrive. The Secretary waited is for an hour beyond the appointed time
then he drove to Hanussen's home.
There he was told that Hanussen had -s left several hours earlier accompanied by n a party of men who had called for y him in a car.
Hanussen who, by predicting Hitler's assassination. had added to a long list | of enemies those fanatics who thought it
a crime to even suggest their leader | might fail in his ultimate mission, was
never seen alive aguin!
Several days later his body, riddled with bullets, was found in a wood outside Berlin.

Preparing him "Dad, do you remember the time when 1 you told me that you were expelled from
school?"
"Yes, my son."
"Well, isn't it funny how history repeats itself?'"
No Surprise "Mr. Blunting", said the doctor, after of an examination, "I fear your wife's mind
t has gone."
"That doesn't surprise me", said the | husband. "She has been giving ime bits
of it every day for seven years."
The Real Point The teacher had been endeavouring to instill into her class the need for "Safety First' methods. She concluded by giving an instance of a little boy who disregarded these rules when riding his bicycle, and who was now in hospital.
Immediately she had told this story a | hand shot up and Willie Higgins asked:
