The Coal Trade, He Predicts, Will
Take on New Life--Money to BE
Made Out OF tho War,

Made Out oil tho war.
From Storms and Signs.
Rejoice and be glad, for earth is
again in the House of Life" in a good
and fruitful sign" and swiftly NOV
ing onward toward the House of For
tune" away from the evil influence of
the great planets Saturn and Uranus.
and safe in the arms of prosperity. The
coal trade and manufacturing indus
tries will take on new life. The United
States will spend one million dollars a
day for war expenses and get two mil
lion dollars a day in return. The evil
influence of the great planets will all
be centered upon Europe and Asia this
month. and new complications in the
war situation will arise and give us
much alarm for time. Either Ger
many or England will receive sore af-
Fiction, and the state of affairs at the
Philippine islands will take a sudden
turn. Watch out for an epidemic of
evil doings that will run riot through
out America and the old country.
THE STORMS AND SIGNS.
The great sea of gaseous matter is
still passing over the sun, cutting off
the regular supply of electrical currents
in some sections of this country and
pouring down an excess in other sec
tions; this means extreme heat for the
latter, and cold weather with frost and
perhaps snow for the former. Cloud
bursts, hurricanes, cyclones and floods
will make hard record in some of the
western and southern states, and vio-
lent hail. wind and rain storms will
i"od the Eastern States. Phenomenal
electrical storms will sweep over the
Eastern States and all cities situated
within the eastern electrical belts,
Scranton, etc., had better watch out
for an electrical bombardment. If a
break does not occur in the gaseous
matter, now passing over the sun, and
cause fearful storms and floods, then
several earthquake shocks will be felt
and large meteors will fall in many
sections of the country.
IN THE MICROBE WORLD.
The army worm and the locusts made
their appearance last month, as we
predicted they would. We have rea-
sons to believe that several new forms
of microbes will put in their appear
ance this month in some localities and
make an attack upon grain and vege-
tation, and that thousands of acres of
rye, oats and wheat will be destroyed
by these microbes; and. that a dan
gerous and fatal epidemic will break
out among cattle wherever the mos
quito microbe (new form of mosquito)
is found in sWarms; and, that some of
the western states will have a plague
of the-"what is it"-microbe. Surely
the day is fast approaching when even
the human body will become the happy
hunting grounds for the coming ami
mal-vegetable microbes that will be
as large as the common plant louise,
unless more money and brains is used
in checking the propagation and
growth of the present generation of
| microbes. Typhoid and malarial fevers
will become epidemic and the Yellow
Jack will rage.
STRANGE PHENOMENA.
Myriads of magnetic microbes will
fall in showers in some localities and
vanish away at the sight of the sun.
Watch out for one of the most bril-
liant displays of yellow lightning ever
seen in the heavens; also for one or
two awe-inspirng sunset scenes. The
comet that we predicted the great tele-
scopes would sight last MONTH was
found by the Lick" Observatory on
the 14th inst. Another and larger
comet is coming toward the earth and
will be sighted this month by some one
of the bigFtelescopes. 1t is now Just
outside of the orbit of Jupiter. This
makes the fourteenth comet that we
have accurately forecasted their ap-
proach earthward. Watch how the
bright star in the golden west will
sparkle on the evening of the 10Th
inst, if the clouds roll away in time
to get a good unobstructed view of it.
