Zadkiel, the London astrologer, in his
Voice of the Stars" gives the following
for December. 1896:
Mars retrogrades through Gemini and

fourth angle. and therefore 1t brings n
healthy atmosphere and fairly prosperous
time. Marriages will be numerous and
there will be talk of a royal wedding soon
to take place. Toward tho end OF the month
there will be much sickness among children

degree OF the sign Scorplo beware of being
defrauded or robbed, and let them pay due

latter half of the month and the labor
market will be much disturbed. The POSI-

notes favorable and seasonablc weather.
Venus in the 7th will increase the marriage
rate for the month, but the position OF Mars
is very unfavorable for trade and denotes
much lifting and cheating, forgery and en-
bezzlement. Shocks OF earthquake VIII aisq
