THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURY, PA.
Coles For July,
The Weather Prophets Representations For
Midsummer Month.

The High Flood vital forces will
rule the month of July. They will
have tendency to bring about a
fiuctuation of prices in stocks, al
though at times prices will seek a
very low level. There will be some
lively scenes and bitter experiences;
as earth is now IN the house Of life in
the social, financial, political and
business worlds; men will! be careless
with their money; they will indulge in
recreation and pleasures, thereby caus
ing worry and anxiety. The fiery
Red Warrior Mars is still very power
ful, and his influence will produce
many strange accidents and will have
a tendency no excite public opinion.
Much sickness will be prevalent such
as chest and lung complaints, also
rheumatism and plague. Vegetation
microbes are getting a claim on al
most all kinds af vegetation, and there
will be steady increase, causing
much destruction. The winds and
the waves will do great damage, and
cause many collisions. Navigation
will be unsafe.
The probabilities are that most Of
the rams during the month will be
very heavy over small areas an un-
prece1ented not wave will strike many
sections and break the heat record,
while cold wave, bordering on frost
or snow, will visit other sections.
The old country will experience
great trouble with storms, also dis
satisfaction and rebellion. If out of
doors during an electrical storm, keep
from the shelter of trees, as all living
vegetable towers attract the electrical
currents. Local rains with black
clouds, thunder and wind, may be
looked for the first few days of the
month. The Vulcan storm period
will be in progress at Full Moon, on
the 9th; more or less storminess and
threatening weather will take place
followed by slightly cooler weather.
AT the time of moons last quarter,
the 10th and 18th, the electrical cur
rents will be at war with each other,
and dangerous storms are liable to
occur at any time and any place.
New moon, the 24th, regular
storm is due. Watch out for chacse-
able weather. Hail storms will do
much damage in the western states.

A Rare Collection.

The Zebulon Butler collection in
the Wyoming Historical and Geolog-
lcal Society rooms in Wilkes Barre
has been enriched by the addition of
a complete Indian pot, or burial urn,
found some years ago under ledge
OF rocks on Babb's Creek, in the
southern part OF Titga County, Pa.
The urn is nine inches high and eight
cen inches in circumference, well
made and finely proportioned. 1t
was purchased by the "Zebulon But
Ter Fund.-" and forms part of the
Indian collection named after this
pioneer hero. The collection already
contains nearly 100 pieces of Indian
manufacture from the Wyoming Val
ley, some of which are admirable
specimens of their skill. This urn
makes the number of complete pots
in the possession of this society fifteen,
forming the finest collection of Iro-
quois pottery in the United States.
