State OF the Elements for the Month OF
June Foretold.
| Professor Coles, the Kingston astron.
omer, whose weather forecast for May
proved one of the most accurate published
| has given signs and predictions for June
as published below. The observations
upon the vitality of vegetable life have
been the result OF years of continual study
upon the subject, and hints given may be
followed with profit:
| Storms and signs of June: The planets
this month, are In a position to produce
almost anything in the shape of cyclones
tornados, cloudbursts. phenomenal rains,
thunder showers, hail, snow, excessive
heat. floods, etc. Extreme heat will pre-
cede the regular periods, and cool waves
will follow with frost in some states, and
perhaps snow. One very peculiar feature
of the thunder showers will be, no matter
from what direction they may appear,
they will nearly all be driven southwark
by strong undersurrents, and dispersed.
The first week in the month will bring us
great changes; the second will not be so
severe unless the electrical currents come
up from the southeast. The third week
will bring us some great electrical show
ers and storms, and the fourth week will
probably bring us some of the most ac-
tive storms of the whole month.
From the 1st to the 10th sudden and Pc
culiar changes will take place-wind gales,
cloud-bursts, rain, thunder showers, tor
nadoes, cyclones, hail, etc.; the reaction
ary storms will follow between the 10th
and the 18th, producing sudden changes;
a regular storm period, with much rain,
resulting in great floods in many localities,
will be due by the 2lst. The reactionary,
great electrical storms will soon follow,
with another regular storm period due be-
fore the close of the month.
Be prepared for phenomenal cloudbursts,
rain and floods and very severe electrical
showers, that will prove more fatal prob
ably, than during any other month of the
whole year. To avoid the electrical bolts.
close your windows and doors, and sit In
the center of the room away from the
walls and chimneys, and let your chair
rest on aluminium glass, and you will be
safe from all harm. My predictions for
the month of May also proved true In ev-
cry instance. Marked copies of comments
by any and all papers that print my
storm and sign" predictions will be re-
ceived with thanks.
Signs Venus will be in the sign Gemlni
on the I'd; Mars will be In the sign Cancer
ni on the 10th; Saturn will be in the sign
Virgo on the 23d: Uranus will be In the
sign Libra on the 3Oth. Therefore:
An epidemic of bad feelings will pass
over the while country during the months
of June and July.
Any kind of seed planted on the 9th or
7th will bear good fruit; especially vines.
peas. beans, grain, etc. On the 10th, 18th
and 18th splendid time for planting any
kind that does not bear fruit: /. g., roots.
cornfodder, grass, etc. The 18th, 10th and
18th, time for garin, potatoes, field beans,
etc. The 20th and 21st are two good fruit
ful days. and most any kind OF seed
planted. or vegetables transplanted on
those days will thrive and bear good
fruit. On Saturday the 22d. at 10 o'clock In
the morning, Is the time to plant cucum-
bers On Monday and Tuesday, the Path
and 25th. are two of the best days of the
whole month for planting or transplat;ng
any kind of vegetables that bear fruit
above ground; the best time for corn and
buckwheat.
The vital forces OF vegetable life will be
at their highest flood on the 9Th, 7th. 10th.
11th. 18th. 18th. 10th. nth, Goth. 2lst, 22d.
2lth and 25th. and at their lowest ebb on
the 1st. "a, I'd, 4th. 18th, 1ith, 18th. 10Th,
26th, 9th, 2sth and 30th. Any vegetables
or flowers transplanted upon any Of the
last named dates Will stand only one
chance in fifty Of surviving the shock;
those that live will make d very rapid
growth. but at the expense Of the fruit
and flowers. II farmers and seed planters
will heed these warnings they can enrich
this country to the tune OF $50. 0O0, 900 each
and every year.
