Warming
Is Issued By A Noted
AStfOIOgef
1t is all up with us now!

1t is all up with us now!
Professor Gustav Meyer, the noted
Hoboken astrologer has taken his pen
in hand and has written a few things
that will make the stoutest heart
quail 1t is predicted that those who
have money will lose it; that those
who have aged parents will suffer
their loss; that those who are blessed
with little children shall lose them;
that those who are afraid in time of
storm will be frightened to death in
the unusual thunderstorms that there
will be unusual disasters on land and
sea- below and above the earth. and
that business will be at a standstill; !;
it is even intimated that the move
ments on Wall street will be erratic,
and that our pet animals will die;
there will be fires and rumors of fires,
and wars and rumors of wars, and if
we should perchance survive all these
things, then we are to be consumed
with fervent heat, for the utmost in
tense heat ever experienced is pro-
phesied from August 13 to 81.
The exact wording of the prophecy
as penned by Meyer, who has the
nerve to conclude with best wishes, -
is as follows:
CAS- an American astrologer | there
fore wish to state that the hottest
weather in history or on record will
occur from the 18th to the 31st in.
stant. Mowever, the most intense
heat of all will be in evidence on the
18th, 18th, 18th, Goth, 21st, 25th, 26th,
Both and 3lst instants. On these
dates great thunderstorms, also tor
nadoes or cyclones, if not earth
quakes, and some of the most pecu-
witnessed, will be much in evidence
as well as calamities of magnitude on
land and sea, and below, on and above
the earth, and the mortality will be
unusually large, especially among
aged people and among children, and
among animals, and business will be
at a standstill and great failures will
occur in the commercial world and in
Wall street, and the markets will be
very erratic, but quite bullish.
Great fires will occur in England
especially in London, and also in the
United States, especially in New YORK
and New Jersey and along the river
front, hence the fire departments and
dock officials should be on their guard
for big dock fires, especially so dur
ing August, or from the 18th to the
30th of August. However, the great
est evil will be in evidence on August
18th, 18th, goth, 23d, 2Sth and Both.
During the summer war clouds will
gather-if not break in Europe, ant
Uncle Sam must guard against becom
ing involved in foreign complications
if not war, which ! find can be avert
ed by exercising the utmost tact ant
kd,glove diplomacy"

THE WORLD MOVES ON
CONTINUED from Page u.

cent years have been the initiative and
referendum in the field of legislation
and the recall in the field Of admins
tration. These measures are supposed
to be characteristic Of the most radi-
cal programs. and they are supposed to
be meant to change the very character
OF our government. They have no
such purpose. Their intention is to re-
store, not to destroy, representative
government Ii must be remembered
by every candid man who discusses
these matters that we are contrasting
the operation Of the initiative and the
referendum not with the representative
government which we possess in the
DRY and which we have long persuaded
ourselves that we possessed in fact,
but in contrast with the actual state
Of affairs. in contrast with legislative
processes which are carried on in Sc
cret. responding to the impulse of sub
sidized machines and carried through
by men whose unhappiness it is to
realize that they are not their own
masters. but puppets in game.
II we felt that we had genuine rep
resentative government in cur state
legislatures no one would propose the
initiative or referendum in America.
They are being proposed now as a
means Of bringing our representatives
back to the consciousness that what
they are bound in duty and in mere
policy to do is to represent the sover-
eign people whom they profess to
