MKINLEY'S HOROSCOPE.
julius EricksOn's Prediction Con-
corning the Second Election.

New York Herald.
in the August QSgO number of Intelli-
gence appeared a horoscope by julius
Erickson of President McKinley's inaugu-
ration, March 4, 1897 in which we find the
following: when election day rolls around
in 1900 the people will not care to change
parties If President Mckinley lives, he
will be reelected
To the superficial observer this \. ID. 1900
election triumph of the Republican party
looks like a sufficiently fortunate event to
entitle the victor to a serenade of Praise
God. from Whom all Blessings Flow
But whether this reelection is a blessing
to President Mckinley remains to be seen;
] for, from a certain standpoint, this presi-
Dental term is both inauspicious and very
! peculiar in more ways than one. In the
| first place, as an ill-boding omen, let us
note that the moons node, astrologically
!. known as the Dragon, under which the No
\ yember election takes place; and when the
/ President is inaugurated next March the
4 Dragon will be in Scorpio, the sign ac-
II cursed.
4 Now in the Nations career. there have
i been three others elected or inaugurated
4 when the Dragon was in immediate Vicin-
4 ty of that sign, and these three were Gar
Il field, Lincoln and Harrison, all of whom
II died in office
4 This astrological reptile. the Dragon, has
4 two places of power, both of which places
I are very marked in the horoscope of the
! United States. That is, the Dragons head
I mas its exaltation in Gemini the ruling sign
1 Of the United States, and its fall in Sagit-
larius, under which the presidential cleo
4 tons take place; while the Dragons tail,
4 vice versa, has its exaltations in Sagit-
4, tarius and it's fall in Gemini.
Il The Node, or Dragon, has a circle of
\ nineteen years. and is about nineteen
4 months in passing through a sign; hence
it follows that at intervals of nineteen
years the reptile spends something over a
d year and half in the sign, which holds a
n presidential election every fourth year.
II Now, a very uncanny fact is that the
Il A. d. 1900 election is the fourth i'm an I'M
\ broken series, which, at the regular inter
4 val of twenty years have been under some
n naletic influence, as will be seen from the
II following: Twenty years ago 0SS0) Garfield
II twenty years prior TO that QS60) Lincoln :
election led TO the splitting of the Union.
d the shedding of a sea of blood and finally
II to the assassination of Lincoln in 1865
h twenty years previous to that Harrison.
4 was elected in 1910. and died about a lnonth
after his inauguration. all of which fatali-
ties we attribute to the malignant presence
u of the Dragon in vicinity of those elections.
The sign under which our Presidents are
elected, besides being, as ii were, the house
Il OF the Dragon, is also the house of Jupiter
b who Tin company with the Node. Branus
and Mercury was in his house when the
i recent election took place. This may seem
n good omen. as he is by all devotees of
4 Mammon esteemed powerful benefit. But
y he is fastening to his fall in the next fall
\ and in conjunction with Saturn. Capricorn,
next November, of which ZadkieTs alma
.iaC says: From this month November.
i 1907 will be dated for ten years to come
N most of the great changes The world will
witness. The United States will be greatly
\ affected by this phenomenon. for it falls in
L opposition TO the place of the sun tie
Another astrOl phenomenon which is like
" to have some effect upon our country Is
the presence of Neptune at the summer
solstice. For the past fourteen years this
planet has been i'm Gemin Ohe ruling sign
OF the United States) About the 10Th OF
