A middle-aged man was apprehended by city administrative officials yesterday for selling a book he claimed could be used to predict the future.

The salesman said the "supernatural" book had been unearthed from an ancient tomb.

But he was too busy promoting his "treasure books" to notice city administrative officials arriving on the scene to detain him.

Onlookers said that if the book could really predict what was going to happen, the seller should have realized he was about to be caught.
