thursday, February 1, 1917.
According to astrologers the hours
after noon today should be fairly for
tuhate, but the morning rule of the
stars is unfavorable. The Sun is
strongly benef1c in influence, while
venus. Mercury, Saturn and Jupiter
are all slightly adverse.
The Sun, in the major cycle of Jupi.
Ter and the minor cycle of Mars, gives
nope OF peace far off, but also warns
the world that it must change its men
tai attitude and blot out, as far as
possible, greed of gold and thirst for
power.
This month proably will be marked
by nothing decisive in European af-
falrs, the seers announce.
AS the winter soltice is not promis-
ing for naval affairs, there should be
extreme caution in all plans for trans
Atlantic transportation. There may be
an accident either at sea or in har-
Dor that will cause heavy loss of life.
Mercury rising in opposition to
Saturn is read as denoting much power
" in America as well as European
cities. depression of trade and great
mortality
On this day whatever depends on
the faVor of men and women in posi-
ton OF influence should prosper. It
is an auspicious rule under which to
seek employment or to assure politi-
cal preferment.
Washington, D. c.. continues under
a planetary direction read as foreshad-
owing scandal in official life. Both
Nongress and Presidents Cabinet will
bS affected.
The seers point out that never be-
1ore was it so necessary to guard
thought and speech as now, owing
10 the government of the stars. which
projects ideas into events, thus rapid
ly working good or i'll.
The Sun in the sextile to Mars in
the horoscope of the new ruler of
Austria BODIES i'll for his reign, which
Is likely to be marked by tragedies
and even revolutions.
Famine will spread, if the interpre-
tation of the stars is right, and among
the warning nations, internal troubles
viii multiply in the next few weeks.
Persons whose birthday 1t is have
the augury of fortunate year. Those
who are employed probably will be
promoted.
children born on this day may sue
ceed best when directed. but these
subjects of Aquarius are likely to be
endowed with brain power and many
traits of character.

necessities, make it a box Of candy.

A CORRECTION.

In last weeks issue Of the Tribune,
an item was published in regard to
passenger Train No. 2 narrowly
averting a collision with a freight
about one and one-half miles east of
Kandiyohi." The distance should
have read, zone mile east of Kandi-
yohi and the freight was midway be-
tween Kandiyohi and Atwater." The
reason this passenger train left Kan
diyohi was due to misunderstood
ing on the part Of the train crew.
