PLANET MARK on THE BODY
Assertion Tint Every One at Birth
is Governed by Stars.

From the Boston Journal
II assure you I have no moles," say
some people. but this is impossible; /;
every human creature when it is born
bears on some part of its body the
mark of the sign or planet which gov
erned at the hour of It's conception and
nativity and moles are contingent on
these, impressed by the influence of the
celestial signs, and answering thereto
not only in their formation and posi-
uons, but varying according to the do
minion of the several planets.
Moles are of three colors. red. honey
color, and black, fiat or raised like a
wart, those on the right side Of the face
or person being usually symbolical Of
good, while those on the left mostly
denote ills and msfortunes.
After long and exhaustive study of
the science, a savant says h is con-
WINGED that not only the character.
tastes, and disposition of an individual,
| but the future itself to a great extent
may be determined by the local posi-
ion, relation, and general appearance
f these natural marks.
If the sun. at a nativity, be in Aries
and ascendant, the mark Of that sign
the left ear When Venus is lady. a
Hat violet mark will be found on the
thighs.
When born under Gemini the mark is
on the arms.
If born under the first part of the
sign of Cancer, the mark is above the
a needle.
hn
have the sign on the knees.
When Leo is ascendant the marks are
| on the left breast.
If Mercury be lord, the marks are on
the left side, or upon the legs.
The nativity being under Virgo. there
are black or reddish spots upon the
stomach.
The last of the signs, Pisces, governs
the feet, and those born under this do
! minion are of pleasant countenance,
brave and ingenious.
A man having a mole on the right
side of the forehead will be exceeding
| ly lucky. To woman it denotes gifts
| from the dead.
One on the left side of the forehead
| foretells to a man, long imprisonment;
| to a woman, that she will have two
| husbands, and probably live out of her
| own country.
If it be in the midst of the forehead
| it denotes, in a man, a cruel mind, and
| it shows a woman to be foolish, simple
| and idle.
a mole on the hinder part of the
neck predicts a happy life, but threat
ems untimely death by drowning.
A mole on both sides of the neck, OPP
| posite to each other foretells dangers
| and perils with i'll fortune.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-12-11

a man having n mole on the left side
Of the upper lip rarely marries, and in
woman 1t denotes trouble and suffer-
ing. If on the under lip, IL shows her
to be improvident, and a man had best
beware of her
a mole in the hollow of the chin de-
notes woman to be contentious and
quarrelsome. on the edge of the chin
it shows good fortune, happy marriage
and long life, of whatever color IL
may be, excepting black.
To possess a mole upon the throat is
very unlucky, indicating that the in
dividual will die by the hand of JUS
tice, or should it appear as wart he
perishes by water.
On the right side of the upper lip, a
fingers breadth above the mouth, a
mole signifies to either sex great good
fortune. A woman having it will be
comely, graceful, healthy in body and
careful for the things of this world 4;
she will marry well and live happily,
her best time for marriage being be-
tween 10 and "a, and she will make Il
true wife and an exceptionally happy

TAYLOR.

Frank Bowen, a popular young man
of Hyde Park, who was passing
through this town on Sunday after
noon last on a bicycle, when along
North Main street met William j. Da-
Wis, son of Undertaken j. Il. Davis,
riding in carriage. When near No.
school house the bicyclist in anxiety
to pass by endeavored to cross to the
opposite side of the street, but collided
with the plank alongside of the car
rail and fell off the wheel. At this
the horses driven by Davis became un-
manageable from fright and before he
was able TO get out of danger the
horses stepped on him. Fortunately
the driver succeeded in stopping the
horses before the carriage passed over
him. He escaped with a few bruises
on the body. His wheel was badly
damaged The young man does not
in any way hold the coachman to
blame.

unsatiated when George McCollyan
and William Ritchie. longshOremen
went into Rooney's place and proceed
ed to have some fun with the bears. In
some manner, the chain by which one
was fastened became unlocked. The
brute made a dash at McCollyan. and
with one blow of its paw knocked him
down. Ritchie went to his chum's as
sistance, but a cuff on the ear made
him retreat and the bear again turned
to McCollyan, digging his. claws into
the mans face and breast and biting
him viCiously. McCollyan's screams
brought the cook, Barney Britain, to
the rescue. but the bear, now thor
oughly aroused, attacked him furious
ly, severely lacerating his face and
arms. 1t was only when Rooney ap-
peared that the bear ceased hostilities,
being effectually sObered with club.
McCollyan and Britain had their in
jures dressed by surgeon.

ARREST OF A SCORCHER.
William Opil Arranged on the
Charge of Fast BiCyCIe Riding.

Friends of William ]. Opil are very
Indignant at his arrest on Saturday
evening on the charge of fast bicycle
riding. Special Policeman S. s. Grit
man brought him before Alderman
Lowry. According to Mr.. Opils ac-
count of the affair he was riding along
Belmont street, when he was stopped
by the officer saying "come to the al
dermans office with me-" on reaching
the 'squire's Office he was under arrest
for racing. He protested against the
charge but was willing to pay the
fine and costs amounting to five dol
lars. AS he had not just the amount
with him he was allowed to go. Mr..
Opil Immediately consulted a lawyer,
several wheelmen, and Mayor O'Neill,
and as the result 1t is said that there is
no bicycle ordinance, and unless he was
so riding as to endanger lives, he was
not liable to the law. He was not
racing and claims that riders so much
faster all through the city.
Mr.. Opil who is chief clerk in Irving
Davis store, says that If the fine is
demanded it will be paid under pro-
test and suit will be commenced
against the policeman and alderman
for extortion.
Wheelmen who belong to the league
are much interested and will test the
right Of what they call arbitrary ar
rests,

FIGHTING FOREST FIRES.
ID. & ii. Employees Battle with Flames

On Sunday forest fires ragged fiercely
on the mountains in the vicinity of this

The dry underbrush furnished material
for the fire which spread with great
rapidity. There was real danger to
parties that were on Salem mountain
seeing arbutus for the flames darted
in every direction.
At one time the head houses at Nos.

MANGLED BY A BEAR.
Drunken beast Attacked Men in n
san Francisco Boarding. House.

San Francisco, Cal, April 26.-Three
men had an encounter with a drunken
bear yesterday and received mement-
oes of the meeting which they will
keep for some time. Michael Rooney,
proprietor of the St. Louis hotel, Pa
cific street. is the owner Of two small
black bears that a friend sent him from
Alaska. Apparently life at the sailor
boarding house has demoralized them,
for both have acquired an unquench-
able thirst for porter. Steam beer has
few charms for them, while the harder
liquors are left severely alone.
Yesterday the bruins thirst was still
