WEATHER PROPHECY,

Whether this weather for January is
prohtably prophecied depends some
what upon the spare time of the read
er, as well as upon his knowledge of
the dominating stars and satellites
above and below. The atmospheric
conditions of the first few days of the
new month OF the new year, 1895. will
be marked with threatening storm,
even assuming cyclonic or blizzardy
aspect, This will be occasioned not
SO much because of the position of
Mercury, Mars or Jupiter in the
heavens above as from the peculiarly
pent up condition of earthly bodies
coming into collision with New Year
resolutions. Until these resolutions
are dispersed and their effervescence
I established, the battle against the
elements will be very apt to wax and
wane, and heavy clouds will partially
eclipse the sunshine which may be
seen through the beer glass darkly.
At the end of about ten days nor
NAL conditions are apt to prevail on
earth, even though Mercury freeze up
in the thermometers. As for Jupiter
and Mars they will Re observed to
take hold just about where they grasp
ed the atmosphere, &c, last year this
time. They will do SO from force of
habit and in obedience to inexorable
laws of nature and without intent to
deceive weather prophets. All
heavenly bodies are so governed, while
earthly bodies are permitted to go it
alone; and hence the necessity for
forming new resolutions at the end of
each year.
About the middle Of the month
well.regulated barometers will furnish
all the evidence needed of wind,
weather and reactonary movements
among earthly bodies, and the falling
weather that then sets in will indicate
the heartfelt sympathy of Mars.
Should warm wave strike the
cold and hit it pretty hard about the
Goth it will be we'll to keep on your
overcoat and put the responsibility on
the inhabitants of Jupiter, who may
have made things hot in their effort
to show the Mars folks that they too
are there and are determined to
crowd their world oser to ours, be
cause they have an idea that we are
fit subjects to become acquainted with
in their ignorance of our high protec-
tive policy. But whatever distur-
Dances the jealousy of Mars and Jupi
ter may raise above they will be large
ly palllated below with good sleighing
for the rest of the month.
Notwithstanding the freeze-up of
Mercury and the fall of 4 or feet of
snow in California this prophecy is
proven by the fact that the snow re
ferred to is now on the ground there
yet this luminary will assume the
ascendency and be the brightest and
the one altogether lovely among the
planets affecting the earth's resolutions
and revolutions We can prove this
by Hicks and Vennor.
Though rather winterlike weather
will prevail in January yet there will be
frequent occasions throughout the
new month of the new year when the
cold will seem to get colder, the warm
warmer, and when even the moon will
get full. These conditions are, it Is
true, apt to be of spasmodic occur
renee but they need not necessarily
break thermometers, or take the frost
all out of things or fool the spring
time blue birds so that they get here
in advance of time. Not at ALL
If You Need good medicine TO
purify your blood, give nerve strength
and build up your entire system, take
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t prevents sick
ness by making pure blood.
