From Storms and Signs.
Professor Coles March predictions
are a little more encouraging than
some that have preceded, and while
there is spice enough for condimentary
purposes they are not all spice. There
is to be a little something other than
disaster, disease and death. Surely,
the professor is to be praised for this.
He is coming gradually to realize that
all darkness and no light is not enough
day and too much night. But here Is
what he says:
BETTER TIMES AHEAD.
Earth has passed out of the "House
of Death" and will soon be beyond the
reach of old Red Warrior Mars and
his evil influences. Business men will
soon De able to congratulate them
selves over the victory won, at last,
after four years battle with the
Panic Microbes. Now ring in the new
Era of Prosperity! And, may God bless
the business men of our country and
prosper them.
A RELIGIOUS WAR.
Earth is now in the House of Re-
ligion" and unexpected religious diff
culties will arise in many sections of
the country and cause much excite
ment. This month is the preachers op-
portunity to do much good, or to do
much evil, for the Planets are in the
right position to test their religious
faith. If there be any wicked microbes
in preachers !,ains, they will show
themselves this month, and next.
BLACK LIGHTNING.
Some time between the 9th and 18th,
| presumably on the 11th, when the vital
forces fall from high food" to low
ebb" and return again within "a hours
time) there will be a display of black
| lightning not visible to the naked eye)
that will throw the currents of mag
netism and electricity both out of their
! normal conditions to such an extent
| that may be electrical instruments Will
! be rendered unfit for use, temporarily,
and a readjustment of these phenom-
| enal electrical currents will cause ter
| rible gales on land and sea.
DISEASE MICROBES.
We have reasons to believe that the
abnormal currents of natural electric
ity and magnetism this month, will
cause an epidemic of stomach and
bowel troubles, strange new epidemics
|
monsters of the deep sea, so that many
of them will pull for the shore. And,
that all persons born under the planets
Uranus or Neptune, will contract fits
of dependency, bordering on religious
insanity. A chart, showing the true
position of these planets, will be sent
free to anyone interested in our fore
casts.
DANGER SIGNALS.
There is at present a gaseous mat
ter passing over the sun, cutting off our
regular supply of sunshine, and we
have reason to believe that it will pass
off sometime between the 18th and
3Oth. causing dangerous electrical dis
turbances resulting in destructive
storms on the land and on the sea,
Unless there comes an earthquake, to
modify the magnetic currents that are
now accommodating, dangerous storms
will sweep along the coasts and far
inland between the 1st and 10th. And
between the 10th and 20th also. A rag
ing, eifting blizzard may strike us
this month unless the electrical cur
rents ground and produce an earth
quake.
AN ERA OF GLADNESS.
sweeping over the country from west
to east will now slowly give way to an
Era of Gladness" that will sweep over
the country, from east to west and bet
ter conditions, both socially and finan-
cially, will gradually develop as the
months go by. Let us all improve the
high flood" days, for we are then
among our friends, so to speak, and can
make our work count. At "low ebb''
time it takes all the energy one has to
hold their own. Our vital force calen-
dar will be sent free to any address.
WHEN TO PLANT.
Mercury is now in sign Aquarius:
Venus is in sign Virgo; Mars is in sign
Leo while Saturn and Uranus are still
in sign ScorDiO. Therefore, cabba ge
seed should be sowed on Wednesday
the 3lst. The best days for sowing
will be the 18th, 18th, 23d and gath; the
second best days will be the 4th i.h
9Th 30th and 3lst, and the third best
days will be the 1st, 10th and eth,
