The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1901-10-11

The astrological men seem to have
had very similar observations and i'm
pressions as to dangers possibly threat
ening President Mckinley in his Sec
ond term of office. The Messenger has
given particulars of their observations
of the heavens. A third prophecy as to
Mckinley n the stars comes from
Massachusetts. Last January an ar
ticle signed Anna Pharos" appeared
in an astrological journal published in
Boston called The Sphinx" 1t is curl
Gus and interesting. > The forecast
made last January was strange. But
it is all too long for use here. That ar
ticle had a question-"Will the moons
nodes affect the new Presidential
term?" To go back. 1t is stated that
in August 1897, in this publication,
there appeared a horoscope by julius
Erickson, of President McKinley's in
auguration March 4, 1897, in which we
find the following: when election day
rolls round in 1900 the people will not
care to change parties. If President
Mckinley lives. he will be reelected"
But let us quote at more length. The
| article said:
But whether or not this reelection
is a blessing to President Mckinley re-
mains to be seen; for, from a certain
standpoint, this presidential term is
both inauspicious and very peculiar in
more ways than one.
In the first place, as an ill-bodiIg
omen, let us note that the moons node,
astrologically known as the Dragon,
was, at the time, in the sign Sagit-
atrius, under which the November cleo
lions take place; n when the presi-
dent is inaugurated next March, the
Dragon will be in Scorpio, the sign ac-
cursed.
Now, in the nations career there
have been three others elected or inau-
rated when the Dragon was in imme-
date vicinity of that sign; and these
three We're Garfield, Lincoln and Harri-
son, all of whom died in office"
We make another extract which is at
least informing:
"Now a rather uncanny fact is that
the A. D. 1900 election is the fourth in
an unbroken series which at the regu-
lar interval of 20 years, have been I'M
der some malefic influence, as will be
seen from the following: Twenty years
ago QSSO Garfield was elected, and was
assassinated in 1881; 20 years prior to
that 0S60) LincOln'S election led to the
splitting of the union. the shedding OF
a sea of blood, and finally to the as
s~assination of Lincoln in 1865; 20 years
previous to that Harrison was elected
in 1910, and died in about a month after
his inauguration: all of which fatalities
we attribute to the malignant presence
: of the Dragon in the vicinity of those
elections"
The paper before us is curious anC
l elaborate somewhat. 1t is all sugges
tive of surprises. 1t enlargeS upo1
what has happened while Neptune il
turning at the Topic of Cancer. TIL,
r list is too much to be given now. AT
ter telling of the many serious ant
: calamitous happenings it mentions tina
. President Carnot of France was assas
8 sinated On oath une 1894. and on Jun
18th an attempt to assassinate Preiden
n Faure of France, was made: Let IL
give some few of many other tragi
events: I'm June, 1872, Napoleon start
= ed for Moscow; June Is, 1915, he wa
defeated at Waterloo; une q, 1885,
Queen Victoria succeeded to the Brit
- ish throne: June %, 1874, the Mormo,
Joseph Smith assassinated: June /!
1867, Macmillan shot in Mexico; Jun
: 10, 1868. Prince Michael of Servia assas
sinated; June. 1889, Johnstown, Pa
destroyed by a flood: June Is, 1896
q tidal wave in Japan destroyed 5000
Q lives. 1t is said also thai the "assasi
nation Of Garfield occurring within tw
weeks after the suns turning July 2
should also be included in this Canoe
3 list Of tragedies.
n AS above stated, in June, 1901, Will
e the sun is still agitated with it's turn
! ing, as it were, it will be in c%onjunctio
with Neptune Chat ancient of day
whose voice is as the sound of man
waters'O at a point which indicates
, great turning of tide" 1t will be re
called that the young astrologist who's
- prophecy has been clearly noted in tn
a Messenger, that June and Septembe
u were the dangerous months for Presi
dent Mckinley. We take the fact
given above from a long article in tn
Baltimore Sun.
