FRIDAY. AUGUST 5. 1888


 Benefic aspects rule today, ac- cording to astrology. It is a time for financiers and business men to safeguard their interests.
 Tn the morning constructive ideas should guide. Courageous projects may be launched with confidence.
 Under this configura tion engin- eering and building activities should be pushed consistently. Battleships and airplanes will hold the atten- ton of Americans through the au- tunn.
 While stimulating influences are discerned all through the daylight hours, this is not an suspicious date for signing contracts or other legal papers. Startling news is forecast from foreign countries.
 The United States will begin to feel the reaction from foreign wars. Next month will bring surprising commercial agreements
 Labor continues under disturbing aspects which will prevail through out the autumn. Astrologers fore tell new methods of cooperation be- tween employers and employees.
 Beauty specialists should profit under this planetary government which presages elaborate fashions requiring professional treatment.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of hard work with fair profits. Pleasure is fore seen for both men and women New friends are indicated, but caution in speech with them is enjoined.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly clever. Sub jects of this sign usually are tal- ented and energetic. These sub- tectS of Leo are successful and pop ular.

from scratch. Now some of the

to do the stage version, but one of
