THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1886
 Until late in the evening of this day, sinister aspects are active. Again astrologers warn that risks of every sort should be avoided.
 III feeling and wrong thinking will be prevalent under this con- figuration which encouraged false reports and dangerous propaganda. From foreign sources the print ing presses will turn out much abuse of candidates and parties which will be secretly circulated.
 Gossip may be widespread under this direction of the stars which offers little protection to either wo- men or men. There is a sign read as promising to candidates who show daring and courage in de- lending themselves.
 Again astrologers foretell the re- moval from the political arena of more than one contestant for pow CT and glory. Legislative offices may prove Inlucky for aspirants.
 This evening should be suspicious for those who desire to command popular approval. Public sentiment will veer suddenly back and forth and weathervane opinions will be widely prevalent.
 Girls have the promise of thrills from novel pastimes which will mark the fall season. There will be much philanthropic work of an unusual character and extraordin- ary demands for public service that may reveal heroines.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of prosperity, but there may be dissatisfaction regarding personal affairs.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be ambitious for power and success, but many subjects of this sign scatter their energies. i, Concentration should be taught by parents.
 Charles c. Dawes, former Vice President of the United States, was born on this day 1865. Others who have celebrated it as a birth day include Hannibal Hamlin statesman, 1909; Peter Norback Senator, 1870 q.
