The last handorgan Of the season,
or more correctly speaking, hand or
gans, for there were two Of them,
visited Augusta yesterday. and it
might be added, under rather un-
satisfactory conditions. October is
rather late for the enjoyment Of hand
organ music. but the dispensers of
this class Of melody might have got
by yesterday had not the owner Of
one OF the organs possessed monk
ey. AS might have been expected,
the presence of the monk" attracted
the small boys and girls to the extent
that when the combination early in
the afternoon visited that section of
Water street known as the North end,
the gathering OF coughing and sneez-
ing youngsters in the street attract
ed the attention of someone to the eX-
tent that the police department was
notified of the possible danger Of
grip and pneumonia which might re-
suit from colds caught in such a
gathering, and the police in turn
notified the health authorities. with
the result that the organ grinder was
ordered to cut his repertoire short
and with his monkey and hand organ
to beat it, for other fields. The
owner Of the second organ was also
hunted up and sent on the same road.
and so it came to pass that on ac-
count Of the latenesS OF the season.
and the possibility Of an epidemic OF
grip and pneumonia in the city. the
anticipated musical program for the
afternoon was nipped in the bud, and
as was the fate oe a series Of sacred
concerts which story tellers say were
one time advertised in Penobscot
county town. there won't be any more
hand organ concerts in Augusta
not this year, at any rate.

Astrologers read this as a fairly for
tunate day since Saturn. the Sun and
Uranus are all in benefc aspect. while
Neptune alone is adverse.
There is a most encouraging sign
for all mineral deposits. making for
good fortune in mines and mining.
Saturn and the Sun are in aspects
making for success on the part OF all
whose livelihoods depend on the prod
ucts of the earth, whether mineral or
vegetable.
The West has the forecast OF pros
parity, especially where the prairie.
are farrned. Tha stars smile on sunny
plains and promise large crops.
California is subject to a rule that
seems to indicate year OF tremendous
events, some OF which may be ex-
tremely startling. The sea coast Is
believed to be in danger.
This State has the prognosticatior
OF great prosperity through the CEN
tralization OF aviation interests, oil
Of some new enterprise.
This should be a luck day for en-
ployes as the sway is supposed to
encourage sympathy and kindly in
terest on the part OF superiors.
Uranus gives promise of success in
love affairs today as the planet casts
the glamor OF charm over men and
women
Journeys are well directed today II
they are not on the water. Travel
ingmen should be lucky il they start
their trips while this configuration
prevails.
The war is interpreted by the seers
as presenting the problem of extremes
and since peace has not come suddnly
and unxpectedly. the struggle will last
n long time. The hope of possible
peace, however. will persist through
the next few weeks.
Persons whose birthdate Il Is have
the augury of travel and change and
benefits through many new friends.
The young will court and marry.
Children born on this day are likely
TO be trustworthy and successful. They
will be fortunate in love.

Many a too plump lady is groaning
in spirit. at this moment, as she lolls
back with a lollipop between her

She tells herself she can never
give up her lolling and her lollipops
and go in for exercising and dieting
instead. Not even for a husband.
Yet one glance over her bulging
breasts. at her equally well adVer-
tised hips, tells her all hope is vain
unless she reduce.
Now, such girls are simply behind
the times or they would not worry
