A MUMMIFIED HAWK
United Press Association—By Electa i Telegraph—Copyright;,
(Received this day at 8 a.m.) LONDON, October 27,
The story of a mummified hawk from Egypt which drips blood when war is imminent, is vouched for by Sir Baden Powell who states he has seen the blood. He told 'he “News Chronicle” that the hawk dripped a liquid appearing to be blood from its mouth, before the Boer War began, and dripped again in July 1913, and continued til! a month before the Armistice. The hawk is supposedly four thousand years old and belonged to a friend of Baden Powell’s, who consulted it during the Chanak trouble. As blood was \ not seen, it was rightly concluded that war was not coming.
