WAR'S END IN FALL,
SAYS SEEROFTQKIO
Professor Kodama Predicts
President Will Wed 40-
Year-Old Widow. '
MEXICAN QUIET FORECAST
BrltaUi to "Win Xaval Battle in
North Sea, but Land Forces to
Make No Headway, Thinks
Apostle of Divination.
PrPofessor Don-Show Kodama, of
Toklo, Japan, wearing mustache, beard
and burnsides, groomed In a cutaway
and carrying a high silk hat, sat down
yesterday and related not what has
happened, but what will happen. Not
speaking-, bat understanding English,
lie talked throuph an interpreter.
Professor Don-y how Kodama is a
peer from Nippon who uses the Sengi
blocks, sacred bamboo sticks, prayer
and imagination to solve the mysteries
of the future. His system, not yet
popular In Portland, is 4000 years old
In Japan and is called "Divination."
Everybody wants to get their fortune
told so that they will be assured that
they will marry and live long and be
happy ever afterward. President 11
MOa got his told for nothing, for Fro-
feasor Kodama yesterday had a dream
or vision regarding the chief execu
tive and made the announcement that
the President will marry an American
widow about 40 years old next March
and will reside wtlh her in New York.
They will have two daughters and
their lives will be long and full of hap
piness. ltepnbllcan Success Predicted.
President ilaon will be the man to
bring the war to a close, the sage
added. But he cannot be President of
the United States any more. The pro
fessor asserts that the Republican
party will resume charge of that office
after Mr. Wilson's first ter mexpjres.
The European conflict will not last
the three years Lord Kitchener had
allotted it, predicts the seer. Five
months more will bring it to a close, he
said. In New York Professor Kodama
announced to newspaper men society
folks and business men that the war
would come to a close in May. But
his dates were mixed at that time and
his last vision has straightened them
out.
Colonel Roosevelt has a gloomy out
look and will have to contend with
many unpleasant difficulties, the pro
fessor said.
Mexican Peace Expected.
Wars seem to be the popuplar thing
Just now, and in that respect the
United States will remain unpopular
for at least ten years, for this country
will talk herself out of them, the seer
predicted. Mexico also has a bright fu
ture after next year, when the profes
sor forecasted that a new President
will be chosen who will harmonize all
factions.
The map of Europe will not be
changed except in regard to Turkey.
The French, Knglish and Russians are
too fond of Turkey not to take a slice
after the war la concluded, he re
marked. The other nations will have
to adjust matters the best way they
can. Great Britain will win a naval
fight in the North Sea, but on land
there will be a deadlock. France will
wufTer most because of ruined lacd and
buildings.
Sage Tours Pacific Coast.
Speaking of wars. New York society
people have them occasionally, and
Airs. John K. Rennaelaer won a victory
when she grave a party at which Pro
fessor Kodama told, the fortunes of her
guests.
A tour of the United States in which
he is visiting all the Important cities
is being made by Professor Kodama.
He has visited all the large cities of
the East, and now is touring pn the
Pacific Coast, which he Jeft six months
ago when en route from Japan.
NOTED MUSICIANS COMING
tircat Flute Player and Eight Other
Artists to Visit Heilig.
The wild, sensuous beauty of wood
wind music is a delight to ear and
heart alike, as the Barrere Ensemble,
which comes to the Heilig for the first
time Wednesday night. May 5, under
direction of Steers & Coman, will prove.
Whether it be the stately and beauti
ful classics of Mozart or Beethoven,
r the modern aerial trifles that are
o enchanting to the imagination, this
combination of instruments carries with
it an atmosphere of its own as refresh
ing as fragrant breeaes from the wild,
wood. We hear the twittering of birds
in the early dawn, or the serenade of
a troubadour in a moonlit magnolia
garden.
The instruments comprising this en
semble are the flute, two -oboes, two
clarinets, two horns, two bassoons, the
players being nine Vn number, under
the leadership of George Barrere, who
is the greatest living player of the
flute.
PUPILS T0STUDY SAFETY
Posblble Result of Boys' Placing
Bolt on Track Arouses Educator.
The gospel of "Safety First" will be
impressed on children of Portland
schools by Superintendent Alderman as
the result of the act of two boys, who,
while on a fishing trip last Tuesday,
placed a bolt on a Southern Pacific rail,
tioutheawt of the city. The bolt almost
caused the derailment of a train and
the matter was brought to the atten
tion of H. P. Coffin, chairman of the
Public Safety Commission, who re
ported the incident to Superintendent
Alderman.
Pupils of the schools will be shown
how disastrous such an act might be
and urged to be careful in preventing
i accidents.
