FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1886

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1886
 Mingled good and adverse influ- ences are discerned in the horos- cope for today, according to astrol- ogy. It is a time to mistrust ones judgment concerning both men and institutions
 Uranus is in a place supposed to encourage misunderstanding and distorted ideas. There may be widespread ption and even treachery due to prejudice and evil communications.
 There is promise for those who adhere consistently to high ideals and for those who promote con- structiye plans in business or poli- tics. In the national campaign sud- den changes of opinion are intimat- ed by the stars.
 Again astrologers prognosticate the closing of important public ca reers. Old leaders are to be su- perceded, but the counsel of the aged will prevail in certain vital issues, the seers prophecy.
 Aviation is subject to unfortunate conditions under this configuration which may delay increasing the ef- ficiency of United States air forces.
 Girls should remain in the back ground under this rule of the stars which seems to presage enmities and criticisms. College students should be especially cautious in choosing new friends.
 Warning is given that after the election labor troubles in the Unit ed States will assume new phases threatening to the common good The planetary government that en-, courages revolutions will affect the United States.
 Astrologers warn employers and employers to seek methods of wide cooperation. Sinister and secret forces are gaining power, it is de- clared.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of major changes to which strangers are likely to contribute. Fraud and intrigue may cause anxieties.
 Children born on this day probably will be exceedingly determined in character. Many subjects of this sign of Libra attain the limellght and few achieve lasting fame.
 Richard III, fourteenth and last of the Plantaganet kings, was born on this day 1462. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, 1871; Theodore Tilton, journalist, 1885; Hannah Adams, compiler of history, 1755.
