oplo 5' this "S as
THE outstanding astrological indication for the
world in general in 1886 is definite increase
of prosperity. However, all countries will expert
ence many great difficulties and obstacles There
will be falls from power of countries and indi-
viduals various financial panics and scandals, and
political upsets. The persons who suffer most will
be those who were most in the public eye in 1885.
But, for the world in general for the profess
sonal man, the small industriaist, the government
employee, the business and the skilled worker,
the year will be favorable The cost of living de-
creases slightly. Unemployment is diminished. The
ranks of unskilled laborers will be hardly hit par
tcularly for those who are foreigners, for during
the year a strong wave of nationalsm arises In
the different countries of Western Europe.
Predictions for America
THE indications for the United States for a
! growth of the prosperity which started during
the end of 1885. year of great stock fluctuations
The financial policies of Roosevelt violently
attacked, but the Republican Party is unable to
find candidate capable of changing the admins
tration.
A popular anti-Japanese movement is noticeable
nundation by the Mississippi River with enor-
nous damage. A gangster war in one of the large
cities the center of the country, perhaps st.
Louis, Missouri. The Negro problem enters this
picture. New discovery of gold in Alaska. Fire
in municipal building in the East, with destruc-
tion of the archives of the Colonial period.
ItaIian-Ethopian War
\A/ILL the Italian Ethiopian War end in 1886?
w Without doubt. Italy will accept in 1886
an arrangement much less favorable to her inter-
ests than the peace plans she rejected in 1885 The
indications for Mussolini point to definite loss
of prestige, also to his sickness or accident (the
danger of assassination is also present during the
first part of the year,. The war ends Italy gains
some land but is nearly ruined by this unfortunate
war which has aroused the disfavor of all civilized
countries
The independence of Ethiopia is not endangered
but she loses some of her territory and quasi
mandatory system is established.
Will 1896 Bring European War?
THERE will be civil war in France but only of
l short duration. Fostered by outside radical in
fuenceS it will not be a true national expression
Civil war in Germany is not indicated for 1886.
Civil war in Austria is very probable The heroic
efforts to maintain her independence become more
and more difficult.
Civil war in Italy is the most menacing indica-
ton of ALL Very sinister influences hover the
dictator during the first months of 1886. The only
European war which is probable in 1896 will be
between Germany and Austria, and this will not
take the form of an openly declared war
Russia will not escape hostllities with Japan,
but there is little danger that the conflict will
sumo the proportions of the Russo-Japanese War
of 1908 Mongolia and Manchuria form buffer
state which protects Japan against Russian at
tacks, while Siberia is too large mouthful to be
swallowed by Japan In 20 years, perhaps
World Financial Conditions
FINANCIAL confidence returns. A year of great
] activity on the various exchanges Frozen as
sets begin to out industry awakens, COM
merce increases unemployment decreases. There
is tendency to go forward too quickly, and those
who wish to invest their money must distrust
ventures which started suddenly, for specula-
