Madame Astralita
And All From China
Foresee End of World
BY l.. c. OWEN
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal.



SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 3.-This
time it is the astronomers and the
learned savants in the ways of the
milky way who, figuratively speak
ing. have left the gate open. And
all the crystal gazers, seventh daugh-
ters of seventh daughters, prognos-
ticators of the dim and distant flu
ture, occult second-sighters and .ex-
perts in planetary portent, are rush
ing in.
Not later than September 9, when
Old Sol goes into total eclipse, the
end of the universe is at hand. OF
course you don't have to believe it.,
but the sooth-sayers say so, and it
must be so.
Listen to Madame Yvonne Astra-
lita, San Franciscos most advertised
Seeress, who can read your future
in the stars, even on. a fOGGy night
at one dollar per read-and her dire
predictions:
LAS the sun comes to be Swallowed
by Venus in the forthcoming eclipse,
the earth's surface will open into
great chasms, which will swallow up
everything" she declares.
only the good shall escape, and
ever afterward they shall inhabit the
earth, which shall become the heaven
of the Scriptures"
Madame Astralito goes further,
and warns that there can be no
doubt as to the accuracy of her pre-
dictions, even if she does get mixed
up in her expert knowledge of the
starry armament and assigns Venus
to the moons job in the forthcom-
ing eclipse.
Down in San Jose. where All Get
mum divides his time between Iaun-
drying and Chinese fortune telling,
there is a slight difference of opin.
ion with "adame Astralita. It's Ju-
piter Pluvius, and not Venus, who is
going to gum up the works.

He got on the street car to
go home and four agents were
already waiting for him. He
lodged back before they saw
him and stood on the platform.
Presently the brakeman leaned
over and whispered in his ear:
"Frien', the Epperson piano
what me uncle handles in East
Texas, for sweetness, durabil-
ity--"
"Stop the car" said the
lawyer. He got off and skulked
in dark doorway until the
four agents who had also got
off the car rushed past, and
then he picked up a big stone
from the gutter and put it in
his pocket.
He went around a back way
to his home and slipped up to
the gate feeling pretty safe.
The minister of his church had
been calling at the house and
came out the gate just as the
lawyer reached it. The lawyer
was the proud father of brand
new two weeks old baby, and
the minister had just been ad-
miring it and wanted to con-
graduate him.
"My dear brother" said the
minister. "Your house will
soon be filled with joy and
music, | think it will be a great
addition to your home. Now,
there is nothing superior for
"Confound you, you're drum
ming for a piano, too, are
you?" yelled the lawyer, draw
ing the stone from his pocket.
He fired away and knocked the
minister's tall hat across the
street and kicked him on the
shin. The minister believed in
the church militant, and he
gave the lawyer a one, two on
the nose, and they clinched and
rolled off the sidewalk on a
plIC VI lOOoC ULlChS. Inc neigh
bors heard the row and came
out with shotguns and lanterns,
and finally an understanding
was arrived at.
The lawyer was considerably
battered up, and the family
doctor was sent for to patch
him. AS the doctor bent over
him with sticking plaster and
a bottle of arnica, he said:
you'll be out in a dav or
two, and then I want YOU to
come around and buy a piano
from my brother. The one he
is agent for is acknowledged to
be the best one for sweetness,
durability, style, quality and
action in the world"
The Washington times., 1923-07-31

A MAN we know decided
IA recently to buy his wife
a piano for a birthday
present.
Now, there is more competi-
ton, rivalry and push among
piano agents than any other
class of men. The insurance
and fruit tree business are mild
and retiring in comparison with
the piano industry. This man,
who is prominent lawyer,
knew this, and he was careful
not to tell too many people of
his intentions for fear the agents
would annoy him. He inquired
In music store only once, re-
garding prices, etc, and intend
ed after a week or so to make
his selection. When he left the
store he went around by the
postotfice before going back to
work.
When he reached his office
he found three agents perched
on his desk and in his chair
waiting for him.
One of them got his mouth
open first and said:
Hear you want to buy a
piano, sir. For sweetness, dur
ability, finish, tone, workman
ship, style and quality the

pushing in between them and

agent. 81 can't stand by and

"Get out, every one Of you,"
shouted the lawyer. "When I
want a piano I'll buy the one
please. Get out of the ROOM"
The agents left, and the law
yer went to work on a brief.
During the afternoon five of his
personal frineds called to rec
ommend different makes of
pianos and the lawyer began to
get snappish.
He went out and got a drink
and the bartender said: "Say,
gent, me brudder works in a
piano factory and he gimme de
tip dat you'se wants to buy one
of de tum-tums. Me brudder

TN 1853 the Governor Of Peru
ordered the Spanish navi-
gator, Mendana, to set out on
an expedition to discover the
southern continent, of the exist
ence Of which wise men in that
day were certain.
While sailing in the southern
waters of the Pacific, this brave
explorer touched one Of the small
islands Of group east Of what Is
today New Guinea
On exploring these islands and
seeing promise of great riches,
Medana named them the Solomon
Islands.
No more was heard of these
isolated islands Of the Pacific for
200 years, when an English navi-
gator touched their shores. But
his reception was not what would
be called warm. In fact, both ne
and many others, including mis-
sionaries who tried to extend their
work to the Solomon Islands, were
attacked by the natives-for they
are cannibals-and fled in terror.
In 1845 several French priests
were killed. And it was not until
1881 that any real progress in
civilizing these wild men was
made.
Although rather a handsome
race, the natives of the Solomon
Islands are understood, but their
brown bodies shining in the sun
light-for clothes are not q con-
sideration in their tropical isles
remind the traveller of bronze
statues.
The Solomon Islanders are very
fond of decorating their persons
with ali sorts of shells, stones,
feathers and teeth-human teeth
are held in particular favor.
The height of elegance is to
wear something extraordinary sus-
pended from the nose through
which a hole has been painfully
pierced for that purpose.
But if one Of the young girls OF
these islands is seen wearing a
necklace Of beetles legs, all OF her
friends and relatives start to specu-
late as to how soon her wedding
will take place. They rejoice at
the thought Of the long hours of
dancing to the inspiring beating
of the tom-toms, because in the
Solomon Islands only a man who
is in love presents to his sweet
heart such a necklace.
