The stars incline, but do not compel.
Tuesday, August 10, 1870.
Copyright, 1920, by The Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate.)
Mercury and Saturn rule strongly
for good today, according to astro-
legy. Venus is adverse.
During this sway the counsel OF
ones elders should be followed. for
otherwise mistakes will multiply.
Publicity of every sort should be
extraordinarily beneficial at this time
and they who write 1t should make
the best of present planetary condi-
lions, since lean days r not far OFF
and the winter may be a period OF
change.
Messages that may be of great i'm
port to the nation seem to be fore
cast. A diplomatic crisis may be
near.
Selfshness and a desire for per-
sonal recognition may seriously affect
women, who are warned that they
should adjust themselves to broader
ideals of life.
From time to time religious
troubles have been prognosticated
and the autumn may bring serious
troubles among the churches.
The emotions are subject to quick
response during this rule of the stars
and many persons may be too i'm
pulsive in expressing their opinions.
Parliamentary disputes in England
will be unusually acrimonious as the
autumn advances.
Owing to the peculiarly upsetting
effect of certain planets women
should seek poise and should learn
to let the mind rule.
Domestic harmony should be safe
guarded, for those who read the signs
prognosticate an increase in the num-
Der of divorces.
Nationwide movements that will
encourage art development have been
long prognosticated, but slowly
started. The seers prophesy much
activity after the fall elections.
Spain will pass through a severe
crisis that may affect the king, whose
health may be impaired early in the
autumn.
Fires in places under Sagittarius
may be expected next month and
may do immense damage.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
should avoid new enterprises during
the coming year. Speculations will
not be successful in all probability.
Children born on this day may
have many vicissitudes in life.

DOG DAYS.


Dog days are here.
And that means that 1t is going
to be a poor season for dogs. For
there are a lot Of folks who believe
thai in dogs days a bite from a dog
is something wors than at any
other time. But animal doctors
say. in street slang. that that idea
is "the bunk
OF course hot weather makes a
dog hot. But it doesn't make him
mad" even though his pink tongue
hangs out and he pants like a iiv-
yer.
Here is the real why OF the name
dog days: It ome down from The
times of the ancients who called
the 40 days Of the hottest part Of
the year dog days from the thea
fact that during that period the dog
star Sirius rose just before the
sun.
They ascribed the great heat at
this period to the dog stars con-
junction with the sun. But be-
cause of the slow shortening Of the
time between equinoxes-the pre-
cession OF the equinoxes-Sirius no
longer rises before the sun at this
time. But the name, dog days,
holds on.
But IL has little to do with dogs
or their manners.
