Its own premises, but with every fam.
lily In town doing this the whole town
will not only present an attractive
appearance, but will be more health.

+, This should be a lucky day for
weddings or for whatever has to do
with romance.
Theatres are subject to an aus
| picious aspect today. and, again, one
or two extraordinary successes among
new plays are prophesied.
| Modistes, milliners, clothiers and
| all who provide raiment for women
should profit under this configuration.
They will reap much after early indi-
cations of loss.
Among those who should profit by
today's rule of the stars are pro-
prietors OF restaurants, dealers In
! fine foodstuffs, confectioners and
| florists.
The government is held to be help
full to .'desirers of honor and prefer
ment,. rulers of every sort, govern
ment employees, high officials Of the
church, and especially to mayors OF
large cities.
Persons whose bilthdate ii is may
| have business and financial anxieties
during the coming year, but they
should be happy in all domestic
affairs
Children born on this day have
lucky stars to guide them. They may
be rather too carefree and pleasure
loving, but they probably will enjoy
life. Girls have the omen Of happy
marriage.

1t is read as a fairly fortunate time

Women should benefit from this
astral government, which is inter-

who have selfish ambitions will taste
disappointment. In the suffrage

of July %, body of scientists arrived
in Newark and went to the factory
Edison greeted them with a pale but

laughed in a tired manner.

and the great task was started. Glar-

all over the world, that Edison was
trying to save the Earth, and with the
appearance of these notices, anxiety
seemed to lessen a bit Panics ceased
somewhat, and the world went on
much as before, except that grim
shadow seemed to hang suspended in
the air. The report was circulated by
wise heads that there was a slight

it would be no good. Therefore Edi-

gross foolishness, and many laughed
at him. But others desired he should
try to accomplish the thing. There

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. g. There are 6,642 Americans in Aus tralia according to report just made by the official statistician of the Com monwealth.
 The Germans on the island conti- nent number 32,990, the Chinese, 20,- 775; Scandinavians, 14,700; Italians, 6,719, and the Japanese, 3,474.
 The number of Japanese is of inter est because of the suspicion often voiced in Australia regarding the Jap anese government and people.
 The number of women in Australia in proportion to the men was 100 to 14O fifty years ago, but today it is 100 to 10S.
 The rate of natural increase in pop ulation is high, being 2.03 per cen-, and it appears from the official esti- mate that the total population of the island continent will soon be i've mil- lions.
