From Storms and Signs.
AS all of our predictions for May
were so very accurately fulfilled, we
shall endeavor this month to delve
little deeper into the hidden wonders
of the universe and point out the many
dangers that lie before us. The high
flood vital forces will rule in America
by two-thirds majority, which natur-
ally should make business boom, and
drive all evil influences out; but, un-
fortunately, Earth will be in the House
Of Adversaries of the United States,
and in company with the great planets,
Saturn and Uranus; and Saturn will be
In opposition to the sun, and to the
earth, on the 10th inst, while the new
moon will appear far to the north and
will show only four degrees of being in
opposition to Saturn, making a pecu-
liar condition of planetary affairs which
will prove q decided evil layout and
the following dangers may be looked
for-as Earth is in the House of Enc
mics" opposed by the "House of Sick
ness"
THE COMING DANGERS.
We have reasons to believe that the
general health of the people will be
bad, that malaria and fevers will pre-
dominate; that discomfort, rumors of
wars and great dscord generally will
prevail; that the cereal markets will be
subject to bad breaks; that the first
part of the month will prove a very
unfavOrable time to start new enter
prises; that great conflagrations, acct
dents and awful crimes will surprise
the people; that ra bid animals, diseases
of horses and cattle will annoy the
farmer; that plant lice, caterpillars.
locusts, grasshoppers and army worms
will overrun vegetation in many sec
tions of the country; that heat waves
and cold waves will surprise us; that
destructive storms of rain and hail will
destroy fields of grain; that high winds
and electrical storms will cause much
damage; that cyclones will sweep the
western and southern states; and hur-
ricanes will sweep the seas; that the
foreign countries will give birth to
many evil depredations, and great
floods and earthquakes may be record
ed.
THE STORMS AND SIGNS.
Fine weather will predominate in the
Eastern states, several dazzling cleo
trcal displays will be seen, and one
storm of almost continuous thunder vi
hrations will be heard in the heavens
The sunset scenes win be something
grand to behold. The central periods
near which the greatest storms may
occur are the Sd, 5th, 7th 9th, 1lth, 14th.
18th, 18th, 22d, 25th and 2Sth. Some of
the storms will result in disastrous
floods, in which the Eastern states will
suffer. Three meteors will fall to earth
this month, and another comet will be
sighted A new electrical storm combi-
nation may greet us. Great northern
lights will be seen, also strange cloud
formations. There will be an eclipse
of the sun on the 9TH inst: and an
eclipse of the moon on the 22d. but
neither visible in America except in
Alaska. This is not the year for To-
Gusts, but several bands will visit
Pennsylvania all the same; and a new
vegetable microbe will attack the clo-
yer and grass fields that were sowed at
Low Ebb time.
VALUABLE INFORMATION.
The best days to fish will be the 1st,
2d, Sd, eth. 10th, goth, Goth and 29th.
Fish caught at any other time will not
be in proper condition to be eaten by
man.
Small pieces of aluminium glass
placed under the legs of an incubator
will protect the unmatched "chicks"
from sudden death by thunder vibra-
tOns.
Potato blight is a blood disease,
and all outward applications do no
good; each potato must be treated with
an injection of sulphur and pollen, and
planted only at High Flood time.
Don't kill the mosquito with perman-
ganate of potash or any other drug
for they are your friends. They take
from your blood the malarial microbes.
If the mosquitoes were all killed along
the lowlands there would spring up n
terrible scourge Of malarial fevers in
this country.
Our Sign Planting" directions in full
will be sent free this month for two
stamps to anyone who is not able TO
send full price. June will prove the
banner month for seed growing this
year. Prof. C. Coles
