Those who study the stars will have
plenty of occupation in the coming
wear. The hand on the celes-
tal dial-plate points to events OF
momentous import. The four great
planets reach their nearest point to
the sun more nearly together than
they have done for almost 1000 years.
1t is not unreasonable to suppose
that with their strong pull and pull
all together they will create some
unusual disturbance in the chaotic
elements that make up the suns fiery
mass. The forces of the new spot
cycle are now in active operation,
and those who have closely watched
the influence of the solar disturbance
on climatic conditions predict Il hot
summer from the heat waves that fol-
low the commencement OF the tre-
mendous solar outbreaks. The hid
den chambers of the great pyramid
have given forth in oracular fashion
momentous prophecies for 1881 to
the few disciples who have faith in
their teachings, and astrologers cast
strange horoscopes from the unusual
planetary combinations.
