Extraordinary Predictions

While in a trance, Mrs Baldwin, down South, a few evenings ago, made tile following predictions: — That the present difficulty with Russia would result in a war between England and Jtussia, oommencingin January, 1886 ; France, Germany, and Italy would be drawn into it, but England's navy would be the means of her proving victorious. That an attempt would be made to rob the Colonial Bank in Dunedin on September 26th next, and that the Parliament Buildings in Wellington would be totally destroyed by earthquake in December, 1887. Some sensation was called by Mrs Baldwin giving, some particulars as to the burning of the Dunedin Athenaeum tome years ago, and the innocence of the librarian Cummock, of the crime of arson, of which he was accused. When the writer of the question in reply to which this answer was given was inquired for, Mr W. P. Street, late Mayor of Dunedin, explained that he had never committed the inquiry to writing, but had merely thought of it. Mr Baldwin and his clever wJfe, are, we understand, to appear before long in this town. When they arrive perhaps' Mrs Baldwin will be able to inform us when the present wave of depression is to pass over. Let us hope she may predict an early date.
