PREDICTIONS.
What Prof. Coles Sees fer December
Goose Bone Heard From.

What Prof. Coles Sees fer December.
Gooss-Bons Heard From.
Prof. Coles, upon whom many rely -
. prophet, predicts that December will
be ruled by the "hIgh food" vital forces,
labor will be plentiful, although there
will bs many dissatisfactions. Business
will gradually boom and the Christm as
trade should be unprecedented. We
should still keep our eyes on Mars, the
red warrior, IS he is directly opposite OF
Jupiter, our financial Indicator, and
Earth is about midway between them
both, therefore keep prepared for any
financial difficulty that may present
Itself.
The evil and bllghting influence that
be showersd down upon US last month,
will continue during this month; acci-
dents, murders, plots and crimes will
occur. England may receive . sore
af1llcslon.
Earth will pay out of tho "House OF
Children" into tho "Houss OF Sickness, )"
In opposition with the great planets on
tho east side OF the sun, excepting Mars
and Neptune, which will cause disease
and epidemics to bring us moro trouble,
causing sorrow In many homes. All
these born under the planet Mars
should avoid tho cold chilly winds OF
December, during the low ebb days.
The weather will be rather change
able, there will be many beautiful days,
but winter Is liable to give us ; surprise.
Regular storm conditions will prevail at
the opening OF December. The prob
abilities are that rough wintry weather
will prevail over many sections OF tho
country at this time. also at and after
full moon on the 14th. Destructive
gales, billiards, etc, both on land and
sea, may bo expected. Continued un-
settled weather will develop during the
last quarter OF the moon.
Many Of the storms may vary from 4
summer-llke shower to = real winter
blizzard. Watch the many beautiful
sunset scenes.
The best days TO perform surgical
operations this month will be tho Sth
9th, 18th and 25th; the next best days
will DO the ed, 11th and 23d. Physl-
clans and surgeons should familiarize
themselves with this subject; many
lives would be saved, and there would
be much needless suffering. Astrologi-
cal diagnosis I. = science and art, and
the anatomy Of tho heavens and their
planetary influence upon human life
should be studied and known IS we'll -
the anatomy OF man.
WHAT THE GoosEBoNE SAYS.
Elias Hartz, widely known ~ Read
ing's goosobone weather prophet, made
his prediction for the winter last night.
He used bones from two geese hatched
last May and says:
about the middle OF December will
be winter with US. 1 predict an unus-
ually severe winter. There will be few
variations in the temperature after tho
winter opens, but the weather will con-
tlnue coal and probably stormy"
