PROFESSOR COLES FOR APRIL.

From Storms and Signs.
The disturbing planets for April are
Vulcan, Mercury, Venus and Earth.
Earth being in sign Libra the Balance;
opposed by sign Aries, the Ram, fore
warns us Of the formation Of an or
ganizatiOn and strange combination,
that may bring about many sudden and
unexpected changes. For instance:
While Libra. the Balance, shall be en-
deavoring to balance the unequally di-
vlded electrical currents during the Vul
can, Mercury and Earth storm periods
that will occur between the list, and 2d; ;
4th and 7th, and 9th and 14th; Aries.
the Ram, may take q notion to butt"
all her efforts over and unbalance the
electrical currents again. If so, then
look out for tornadOes. hail, sleet, snow,
rain, floods, high winds, thunder show
ers and red lightning. Also, strange
phenomena, war threats, earthquakes,
falling stars, rumors Of war, awful cat
astrophes, horrible outrages and fearful
deeds. And an epidemic of sudden
deaths: railroad accidents, labor
strikes, political disputes, etc. Another
strange electrical phenomenon will oc-
cur somewhere in the northern part of
New Jersey or In the southern part OF
New York state again this month, we
think, and II this prediction proves true
as did the other predictions that we
made for this particular location, then
we shall have in our possession some
very important information to impart
to the Jerseyites. The planets are in
position this month to generate new
disease microbes and parasites; look
out for epidemics of new diseases. April
will bring us many surprises! Beware

storm periods and the reactiOnary
storm periods as marked on our Storm
and Sign calendar may not all arrive
on time this month, as they have dur
ing the past six months. II the electri-
cal currents continue to run from the
northeast to the southwest for ten days
more as they have during the past
twenty-six days, April may give us the
greatest snow storm Of the season.
WORDS OF WARNING.
Look out for high winds.
April will prove a surprise.
The earth will quake this month.
Hail, sleet, snow and rain will do
much damage.
TOrnadoes, floods and earthquakes
are on the programme.
The old country will be visited by
gales unprecedented.
An epidemic Of sudden deaths may
sweep over the country.
Labor strikes, and political disputes,
will lead to riot and great contention
The Red-eye, a new disease, caused
by red lightning. will become epidemic
this month.
The ladies Of Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and New York may wear their new
Easter bonnets on Easter Sabbath, not
withstanding all prophesies to the con-
trary. Do not think that this is an
April joke.
Earth Is In sign Libra, the Balance,
opposed by sign Aries, the Ram. There
fore prepare to witness some hard
scenes. The elements will war. Ma
tlons will war. Labor and capital will
war; Politicians will war, and even
some churches will not be exempt from
the disposition of Aries, the Ram.
