The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-01-01
PROF. COLES FOR JANUARY.

The New Year, 1898, opens up with
bright and promising prospects for the
United States of America. She will
be free from the shadow of the suns
eclipse, and from the evil influence of
evil planets, which will make America
the most prosperous nation on the
earth; while the old country will be
terribly afflicted by wars, pestilence,
famine, earthquakes, tidal waves,
dreadful massacres, unprecedented
changes in the forms of government
and assassination of rulers. The finan-
cial social and political influencing
planets will all be in position this year
to cast their greatest influence on
America and her industries; therefore
let us all be up and doing the jump
into the river of success while it is at
High Flood. While the old country is
being afflicted with pestience, etc,
America will be terribly storm beaten
by the storm elements,
THE STORMS AND SIGNS.
The sea of gaseous matter nov pass
ing over the face of the sun has so in
creased in bulk during the past four
weeks that 1t can now be seen through
smoked glass with the naked eye. 1t
throws the electric currents out of their
natural channel and causes the mag
netic currents to run southwark; and
if they are suddenly reversed an awful
cyclone will sweep over land and sea
and produce tida. waves or earth
quakes. Should these currents reverse,
| suddenly, any time during this month,
| or the month of February, our own
| state, which has been so favorably
| exempt from the storm elements dur
| ing the past year. will be right in the
| storm path Watch out for the elements
and be prepared for storms, as no man
can tell what a day will bring forth so
| long as these huge sun spots are pass
| ing between US and the sun. These sun
| spots will harm us in no other way
| but by the storms that they produce.
| A full account and cause OF these sun
| spots will be sent to any address for
| postage.
THE ECLIPSES.
There will be two eclipses during the
| present month. The first, a partial
eclipse of the moon, on the 9TH visible
In most parts of the globe. 1t will be-
gin at 657 p. m. and end at S27 in the
Eastern States. The second, a total
eclipse of the sun on the 22d, not visible
in America. 1t will be seen in most
parts Of the old country. and it's dark
path will be near the equator through
Africa, India and China; this will be
the means of sending thousands Of
| Cinnamon to America, and unless
| Americans can read and heed the signs
in the eclipse and take action at once,
America will have a plague of China
men before the Goth century dawns.
America will be the ''Klondike" of the
whole world. Watch the awful affiic-
tions that will fall upon China, India
and Africa during the year 1898.
EPIDEMICS.
The new and fatal epidemic that we
predicted last month, would fall upon
swine and cattle is now raging in many
parts of this country. The planets are
now in a position to produce fevers,
smallpox and skin diseases. The whole
atmosphere seems to be filled with
small and hideouS appearing microbes,
What their mission is we do not know
but we snould pity the manor beast
upon whom they make an attack. Those
tormenting microbes (F'lssh Eaters)
that made their appearance last win
ter in many sections of the country
and caused so much suffering will APP
pear again this month. They group
into companies, and stalking out theil
claims on human bodies, they at once
. begin to dig into the flesh, and soor
cause a volcanic flesh eruption, similar
. to a boil.
Miners should be on their guard ant
| watch for "cave-ins" this month, as the
electric and magnetic currents are aw.
fully unbalanced on account of the
suns rays being thrown out of theil
natural channel by huge "sun spots.
Just notice the increase of crimes thi:
month.
During the middle and the latter par
| of the month watch out for harC
storms, floods, high gales and blizzards
Our Sign Planting" instructions begir
again next month.
