the stars guiding their destinies.

regular attendants at all the boxing
bouts in the neighborhood.
"A friend of mine," he says, lone

Hoboken, N. j., August Fond
O. star gazing? Well, just add lit
tie scientific erudition to it and
you'll be healthy, wealthy and wise.
Gustave Meyer did and now he
writes Professor" in front of his
name, has a reputation that'd strad-
die the globe at least three times,
is happily married, owns a nice
little three story establishment in
Hoboken, has a well rounded waist
coat and gets on grand with the
ueighbors.
The stars will do as much for
YOU" he says. Although he's sought
out from all parts of the globe, he
gives his advice gratis.
Here's how a proper knowledge
of star gazing influenced the life Of
Professor Meyer:
He was twenty-one and a clerk
in his fathers clothing store when
he went to hear lecture on as
trology. The astrologer told him
he wasn't meant to be clothing
merchant at all He could be re-
nowned professional astrologer. The
young man took up the study in
his little two by four back Office.
Out of it he issued to predict the
the assassination of President Nc
Kinley. The resulting fame placed
his feet firmly in his chosen pro-
fession.
Fifteen years ago he was casually
introduced to a comedy dark eyed
woman in the postoffice. Studying
up his own horoscope he discovered
he was due to be married soon.
