AN ASTROLOGICAL VIEW.
What Is Shown hy the Horoscope of Mr
BHiicy's Administration.

hthSN =
An astrological view of the future of
Mayor Baileys administration, which
began yesterday may be of interest to
believers and unbelievers in the science
of the ancients who sought to peer into
the future.
Judged by the stars the prospect be-
fore the new mayor is anything but en-
couraginS. At the hour of noon yes
terday we find the sign of Leo rising in
the east with no planet in the ascend
ant The sun is in favorable aspect in
midheaven. but the other planetary
conditions are more or less evil. The
benign influence of Jupiter is weakened
by its position in the twelfth house
in the sign of Cancer. Saturn and
Herschal, in conjunction in the fourth
house. indicate that much trouble and
many perpleXing questions will con-
front the new executive. In the horo-
scope of the hour of Mayor Bailey's in
PRODUCTION to office we also find Jupiter
in opposition to the moon. Mars in
conjunction with the moon. and Mer-
curry Sesquiquadrate to Saturn. all Of
which are most evil aspects. The posi-
tion CT the Sun would show that Mayor
Bailey will. without doubt serve out
his term of Office but stormy times and
much dissatisfaction will prevail dur
ing his term.
Mayor Bailey was born under the
sign of Taurus with Moon in Virgo
He belongs to the class that make very
high attainments of a business charac-
ter, and possess acute judgment They
are wholly men of the aGe in which
they live. and are well adanted to all
branches Of u successful business life
Mr.. Hailey's horoscope indicates that
he il a man of fine intutons and dis
climinative mowers and an admirer of
literary talent and also that he has
political ambitions. Owing to planet
AIRY influence. however. he lacks the
independence of character and force in
carrying out his ends that are usually
found in persons born under Taurus
Aside from this, he possesses the char
actcristics of a born leader and should
be able to succeed in politics as in busi
