the "Queen of English Watering Places."
Blown by every wild gale from the wild
North Sea, cool and delightful on the
hottest summer day, its glorious views
and health-giving breezes bring crowds
of "trippers" from every part of the

The great esplanade that runs the
length of the seafront Is always crowded
by a fashionable throng. The gardens,
the bandstands and the piers are a mov

as winter comes on Invalids from far and

There is an air of geniality and of
light-hearted gaiety about Scarborough

OH KAISER'S DRAMA
IS SEER'S FORECAST
Mme. de Thebes, Parisian
Sibyl, Predicts Debacle of
War Lord Great Con
flict to End in 1915.
coratiairr 1914, nr united press
PARIS, Dec 18.
A year, more full of good limn of dis
aster, and marked by end of the war, is
Madame de Thebes' prediction for 1915.
Tho Tarlslan xlbyl predicts the debacle
of tha Kaiser.
Paris' famous sceress today mado
public her prophecies for the 1? months
to come. Following aro the events
which this woman, who wtya she foretold
tho Calllaux trial, the assassination of
Archduke Ferdinand and the European
war, predicts will mark 1915!
"Before the sun runs Its third courso
In 1915 blood will cease to flow. The re
sults of tho war will bo titanic. Through
a difficult arrangement tho result will bo
entirely different from what France ex
pects, though for the othere the equiva
lent will bo realized,
"Surprlso will succeed surprise. Franco
will have to listen to two sorts of men.
It must know how to choose. It must
watch, however, for at tho moment of
peace negotiations destiny Is watching.
In Paris thero will be feverish emotion
and delirium. There will be triumphal
arches. '
"Tha Kaiser's rolo will soon be ended.
He dies soon or else disappears. Ger
many will ccaso to exist In Its present
form. I seo one Germuny tearing Itself
to pieces north against north, south
against south. There will be revolu
tionary fury against tho Junker military
aristocracy. Germany will try to resist,
In parody of France of bygone days .even
unto revolution hostages, massacres, ,
Judgments' nnd scaffolds all. I see an
other Germany which pretends to yield,
accepting the conditions of the victors -and
gaining time by multiplying Intrigues ,
and paralyzing the attacks against It,
only to restart Its own attacks with new
forces. .
"In either event tho. HohcnzoltcrnB are
gone. I liavo seen the hand of Wllhclm
tho Second. I won't say how or when.
1 saw his right hand only. This Is the'
hand of volition. His left hand Is that
of a fatalist wltheeed nnd smaller than
the other, on an arm shorter thnn his
right. This weakness Wllhelm has sought
to conceal all his life. His right hand
la dry If ono feels It long. The phalanx,,
alas. Is large. Indicating sanguinary t
tastes. The little finger Is Imaginative. r
Daylight shows between the fingers uh- '
less they are tightly pressed together.
This Is a sign of untruthfulness. Ills
hand Is of a Mercurlan and Jupltcrian
typo. There aro countless lines on the;
fingers, which are furrowed to the very
tips. The ensemble Indicates a ' short
rather than a long life. ,
"If the Kaiser does not fall mentally
ha will probably break down physically.
Tho mounts at tho base of tho fingers aro
large, showing rt facility fur assimila
tion. The life line scarcely touches the "
heart line, which finishes In a fork near
tho. lunar mount.
