FATAL ACCIDENT.

FULFILMENT OF DREAM. To dream of a fatal accident three times and then witness its fulfilment has been the unhappy experience just recorded of a Hobart man. A labourer employed by the Hobart City Corporation was turning the hand-winch of a crane that was lifting stone in the street culvert construction works. The jib of the crane swung round and a wire rope came into contact with the high tension electric wires overhead. The result was that the labourer was electrocuted, death being instantaneous. A week before the accident one of the men's workmates was uneasy in his mind. He was troubled by a strange dream that was repeated three times. In his dream he saw a fatal accident at the crane. It occurred in exactly the same way as that which caused the actual accident. He told his mates of the dream, which had made such a deep impression upon him, and it was the subject of considerable discussion. The fulfilment of the dream came as a shock to those who had been made familiar with the .story. Another remarkable fact is that- a similar fatality occurred with the same crane a few months ago.
