PBOf. COLES IOR MAY.
Here we are again in the charming
month of May, with earth passing
through sign Scorpio the Scorpion,
rpposed by sign Taurus the Bull t
ith. the planets Saturn and Uranus
m the earth's side and old red
Warrior Mars controlling the sign
Aquarius the Wartcrman, who will
pour out the rain upon the just and
the unjust. Terrible floods and tor
nadoes, cyclones and cloudbursts will
visit many sections of the country,
especially in the Southern and West
ern states. Frost will make sad havoc
with fruit buds in many states. Snow
storms and hail storms, high winds
and strange phenomena will occur in
many sections. May will undoubted
ly give us many surprises ; for, upon
tie 14th day of April the young moon
was three and one-half degrees farther
North than ever before indicated by
the Lunar Rays photographed in the
Vibrameter. Remember, dear reader,
that we do not make the conditions
that we are enabled by the Electric
Eye to foresee and that we are in no
manner responsible for them. The
terrible conditions that were foreseen
and predicted for April came true and
now we warn you to watch out for
more surprises daring the present
month.
The first regular storm period will
appear between the 2d and 6th. Rain
mow, sleet and hail with high winds
in many sections. The Northern
winds may blow down some surprises
for us. lute showers may be among
the number. Scattering storms will
prevail between the 7th and ioth,
The second regular storm period
see Storm and Sign Calendar will
occur between tne 12th and 17th. Be
on your guard ! Watch for tornadoes
and cyclones, especially in the South
em and Western states. Drizzling
rains and foul weather may be looked
for between the ioth and 2 2d.
Tl:o tt.inl regular storm period will
appear between the 25th and 20th.
When hard storms and electrical
phenomena may be looked for. Ac
cidents and horrible deeds will con
tinue. Strikes, and all sorts of bad
feelings will exist until after the 20th,
then comes
a change!
The unusual position of the planets
on and after the 20th will have a
great tendency to bring about better
conditions of the weather better con
ditions of finance and better condi
tions all around.
The air will be filled with ozone
and life will be well worth the living.
Some of the days will be so full of
enjoyment as to cause sickly men to
feel well.
The "Ember Days," falling due this
month upon the following dates: 27 th,
aoth and 30th, will cause some very
great changes in the produce and
stock markets. Let merchantmen
make a note of the above and govern
themselves accordingly as a rising
tendency is indicated. The indica
tions at this time will rule the markets
for the next three months.

Thought on Spring.
Some thoughts on spring are not
fit for publication.
Spring is the season when poets
and livers get out of order.
If you have flannels to shed, pre
pare to shed them in July.
The well known poetical reference
to spring as an " ethereal mildness "
was promulgated long before the in
troduction of the weather bureau.
Spring poets are the best propaga
tors of pulmonary complaints.
Spring, ghastly springl
Even a spring chicken is a delusion
and a snare.
If the robin is really a sign of spring
he ought to be ashamed of himself.
In these latter days, blizzards are
the only genuine " harbingers of
spring."
That "tired feeling" incidental to
spring is greatly aggravated by reading
spring poetry in one column of a
newspaper and the weather report in
another.
In the spring a young man's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of cough
mixtures.
The most effete monarchy of mod
ern times is the one presided over by
the May queen.
Frailty, thy name is spiing.
Spring by any other name would
not be nearly so deceptive.
Tossibly it is because spring is the
youth of the year that it is so disa
greeably fresh.
"Sweet spring, full of sun and
blowing roses" sore throats and
blowing noses.

Needs attention to this
are tired, weak and
clear that your blood is impure, and
without doubt there ha3 been too
much over-work or strain on brain
and body. The course of treatment
for such a condition is plain and sim
ple. The blood must first be purified
so that the nervous system, and in
fact all the organs will be fed upon
pure blootl. Intelligent people with
out number have testified that the
best blood purifier, nerve tonic and
strength imparting medicine is Hood's
Sarsapanlla. Nervousness, loss of
sleep and general debility all vanish
when Hood s Sarsapanlla is persist
ently taken ; in a word, health and
happiness follow after taking Hood s
Sarsapanlla.

Clara Barton Wants Aid
Clara Barton, of the Red Cross So
ciety, cables to the National Ar
menian Relief Committee, of New
York, as follows, from Constantinople
"Hubbell, in charge ot the Red Cross
Relief Expedition, at Marash, reports
April 13 : 'three thousand sick of
typhus, including the English Consul.'
On the 15th he reports: 'Sickness
at Zeitoun increasing, with 40 or "jo
deaths daily. Great and immediate
need for funds. General condition
of relief work favorable.' "
The National Armenian Relief
Committee in giving out this appeal
from Miss Barton, calls attention to
the fact that not one-fifth of the $500,
000, needed, by the lowest calcula
tion, to carry on the work cf the Red
Cross Society in Asiatic Turkey, has
yet been given. Unless the destitute
people are aided until the next crop
is secured, all the money thus far
spent through the various agencies
will be practically thrown away, and
thousands will perish by pestilence
and starvation.
