MciS alley and the Stars.

A"ih'y diiuoe JUL reauerH 10 learn what
a star student discerns in the plapets
and other celestial orbs for President
Mckinley and the American people dur
ing the present administration. 1t is
not in the middle ages or the dark ages,
but at the close of the nineteenth cen.
tury, that this astrologer makes his pre-
dictions. Astrology used to Brighten
kings. Now it amuses the curious and
the idle, and it still serves as useful a
purpose as it did then.
The a%strologer, Julius Erickson.
makes his prophecies in the magazine
Intelligence. We skip lightly over the
cusps and trines and honses and de-
grees. Likewise we quote without nots
or comment the statement that 1.-THE
universe is n grand electrified field or
magnet, eternally shedding its potent
influence on all things great or small"
AT the time Mckinley became presi-
dent the moon and Venus "were fortu-
nately placed in the house Of honor"
The moon means the people, or public
at large" That indicates ~astrologically
that the people will have much power
during this administration, and those
who want to Cypress or bamboozle them
may well take warning" Then,
again, the fortunate positions Of the sun.
Venus and Mars denote that we shall
have a rousing ard Arm American pol
icy-nothing half way in It," And here
again those concerned may look out,
particularly Spain, our astrologer init
mates. Harmony will exist between
president and congress, the army and
condition of the people will improve.
Julius says we may confidently look
forward to prosperous times after the
spring of 1898, although grave ques-
tions must be settled this year. We
would like to have the prosperity now
if we could get it, at once. The grave
questions we could put off till next
spring. There is TO be a large number
Of accidents, fires and disasters, and a
national school or academy will collapse
or do something dreadful, and in con-
nection with this will be brought out
some strange history. There will be hot
theological and religious disputes. One
could predict that without being an as
t~rologer, however.
President Mckinley will have plenty
Of enemies and opposition, but he will
''stand like the pyramids" and over
come. This year there will be serious
riot aud disorder against the wealthy,
probably in Illinois," Why in Illinois?
Why has the astrologer a spite at ILL
nois?
This summer some famous Americans
will die. Here, again, we may observe
that anybody could have told that with
out reading the stars. We have so many
distinguished Americans that not a
month passes without the death of some
of them. Even after all the offices
abroad have been filled with them there
are enough left to make a nation half
mast it's flags every few weeks.
Publicly, the administration OF NC
Kinley will be a stormy one. We are to
meet with rebuff or treachery from
some foreign power" before this year Is
over. Stocks and bonds and the posses
siops of bloated plutocrats will get ire
mendous shocks up and down during
this administration. There will be wal
or danger of wal at some time in the
next three years, and more n more Oh
onr greatest men will die, scholars,
men of science, divines and politicians,
Still there is consolation in the though'
that however many of these great men
die we shall continue to rave enough
left, especially of the illustrious poll
The people, nevertheless, will prosper
through it all, and events e'weeh ~"
and 1901 will tend to 'oenen. '''
effectively and permanently NO ole
cares SO much about the rest' II "nH
mart of the prediction comes true
