PROF. COLES FOR JUNE.
From Storms and SIrks.
Earth Is now jiassingr through rlpn
Saslttarlus tho liow-iniin with no op
position, excepting the little planet Vul
can, the other planets being too far
nwuy to pive itseistancu or to Inflict
punishment, antl ju?t wimt the final re
sult will be tlrr.u alone will tell; for
Sagittarius Is a cintn that biinprs us no
earthly pood exci pt whii compelled to
do so by tin? moon and certain planets.
We have never before seen fewer causes
for storm disturbances In the month
of June; but by looking at th? "plane
tary diagram" In Storms and Signs, you
will see that ida net .Mars the old war
rior is in Hign I'isces the Fishes
and nt a rlcht angle to borrow sun
rays from the sun and pour them down
upon the day side of the earth, which
will cause excessive heat during the day
that will develop Into violent gales,
tornadoes, cyclones, linll storms, cloud
bursts. Hoods, tarthquakea, electrical
storms, etc. From 2 to 5 o'clock In the
afternoon will be tha most critical time
of the ilny. Those who ure actually
afraid of lightning, should place their
chair In the centre of the room and get
their fret up off the floor, or place
aluminum glass under their chair posts,
which Is a sure protection from the
dangers of lightning stroke. The first
week In the month will bring a storm
period with cloudiness and scattering
storms In many sections of the country.
The second week will bring a regular
storm period which may result In great
disaster In many parts of the world.
Let the southern and western states
take take warning of all storm periods.
The third week will bring another reg
ular storm period when we shall feel
the full force of the summer solstice.'
The third and last regular storm per
iod will take plnce during the fourth
week in the month. It will be well, we
think, for those living near streams of
water to make ample preparations for
a water surprise. There will be several
magnificent sun set scenes during the
month and two mock sun scenes. On
Sabbath evening, the 14th inst. Jupiter
will be just south of the young moon,
presenting an unusually brilliant scene.
Da not miss seeing them. A strange
phenomena will take place on the sea,
casting its reflections over all the east
ern and middle states. The red light
came Just as we predicted It would and
with the same results as we predicted.
This month the planets are In position
to give out blue lightning, which will
cause an epidemic of the blue-fever that
will effect the nervous system and cause
all sorts of bad feelings. Mark well our
predictions and we will yet prove to
you that we are all controlled by the
planets. We have many convincing
proofs to offer, as soon as the people are
In readiness to receive them. Last
month we warned the southern and
western states of the awful storms that
would sweep down upon them, and now
we warn them" of more approaching
dangers; and we also warn the middle
northern and eastern states to be well
on their guard. -
WORDS OF WARNING.
' Watch out for cyclones.
The cholera Is Hearing our shores.
Keep your eye on all approaching

June will give us some fearful elec

Many new troubles will arise in the
church and state.
Many dangerous storms will he born
this month. Watch out for their ap

Confidence is being restored, slowly.
Better times are coming.
The cholera will hYeak out with re-

cause alarm In our country.
America will suffer great loss by the
elements, and by the arm of cruel and
wicked men.
Some wonderful new discovery will be
made this month that will greatly bene

Strikes and great disasters will con

WHEN TO PLANT IN JVSK
Venus Is now In sifrn Aries, Earth and
Mercury are in siw Sagittarius, Mars
is In sign Pisces, Jupiter Is In sign Leo,
while Saturn and Uranus are In sign
Scorpio. Therefore, the "vital forces"
of all human and vegetable life will be
at their "highest Hood" on the follow
ing dates: 4th. 5th. Cth, !Hh, 10th, 11th,
14th, 15th. --d and 'Sid and at tliWr
"lowest ebb'' on the 1st, 2d, 3d. 7th. Sth,
lllth, 13th. 16th. 17th, 18th, litth. 20th,
21st, 21th, 25th, 20th, 27th, 2Sth, 29th and
30th. The "low ebb" figures have a
two-thirds majority again this month,
which warns us of some approaching
danger. No seed should be sown or
plants transplanted this month during
the "low ebb" days. Send for our
Storm mid Slsn calendar which every
farmer and gardener should have. The
4th, 5th and 6th are three exceptionally
good days for the planting of potatoes,
grain, field beans, peas, radishes, ete.
The 9th. 16th and 11th are three very
good days for the mantlng of almost
any kind of seeds, but seeds sowed on
these days will not stand a drought
very well. On the 12th or 13th, be
tween the hours of 9 and 11 a. in., will
be the time to plant cucumber and
rnvlon seeds. The 15th will be the best
day In the whole month to sow any
kind of seeds, or to transplant; for
Jupiter will be within one degree of the
moon on the 14th and the vital forces
will be at their highest point on the
15th. Let farmers try this date and
then give us a full account of their suc
cess, this fall.
On the 20th and 21st (exceptional)
will be two good days for roots, corn
fodder, millets, potatoes, etc. On the
22d and 23d will be two very good days
for grain, grass, vines, peas, beans, ete.
The 27th (exceptional, only for the
month of June) will answer well
for roots, fodder and for the sow
ing of turnips. Farmers and garden
ers should get their soil in readiness so
they can plant upon the very days men
tioned above and learn by real experi
ence the true value of sign planting.

ELECTRICITY IX TIIE HOME.
In Its Various Appliances It Will Re
lieve Women of Much Drudgery.
From the Detroit Free Press.
A new goddess is born. She is called
"Electra." She is the goddess of all
work. She is swifter than Mercury
and brighter than the star of the morn
ing. On her brow is a blaze of Jewels;
she carries a flame-tipped wand. Her
garments are of woven rays of light,
garlanded with flowers', red, blue and
green.
She comes to unbind burdens, to suc
cor women and horses. There Is is no
service so exalted that she cannot at
tain to It, no service so lowly she will
not stoop to it. She will light the
kitchen fire and cook the breakfast.
She will wash the dishes and scrub the
floors. She will curl and brush the
hair. She will sweep the , room and
run the sewing machine. She will run
errands and draw the cart. She will
pull and Mil the teeth, be the physician
and put the weary to sleep. She will
play on the piano or the washtub, as
desired. She will amuse the children or
entertain the company. She will tend
door or convene the elements. She will
manufacture climate to order and
bring Alpine blaBts in midsummer to a
city Hat.
The most interesting development In
domestic life with which women have
to deal is cooking by electricity. Ev
ery woman knows that the kitchen
range Is the real hub of the universe.
So long as that runs smoothly dynas
ties may change and nations go under
with comparatively little stir. A
change of fuel Is a more serious experi
ment than a change of sect or party.
The first thing that commends electric
lty to a woman Is its cleanliness. For
this gas has prepared them somewhat.
But even with gas the products of
combustion still oblige the washing of
tho outside of the platters. In cooking
by electricity there Is no combustion.
The heat is merely localized. This dis
tinction la radical, and affords the most
curious and interesting feature of the
new,procesB. To cook without flame
contradicts the most famuiar of all
arts. In getting rid of combustion goes
with It all that accompanies combus
tion, including that exhaustion of the
air, of which every one complains, for
In the domestic economy health la next
to cleanliness.
Aiote, the giant trotter, has more
than a passing chance to secure the
record this year. He has been ill, but
is said to be coming rbund again.

FINE RESIDENCE PLOT.
M ill Be Shortly Opened oa Ike East
or the City.
There will be' another residence plot
opened on the outskirts of the city

a line place for residences.
About ten acres of land will be
cleaned of all rubbish and will then
be staked out in lots 50x150 feet They
are already for sale and several have
been bought.
No better place could have been se
lected than "Mount View" as it la very
appropriately called. The land is sit
uated on the summit of the hill adjoin
ing the Mills property and runs parallel
with the road leading to the Highland
Park co'llery. One Btreet has been
nearly finished. It Is fifty feet In width
and lends directly from Canaan road to
the colliery where It Joins the rood
leading to the Last Chance, thus form
ing a complete circuit. The view from
the place is very fine, as It overlooks tiie
valley. On the lots which have been
sold, pretty houses will be erected, and
the place will be especially uesiraoie
for summer residences. The land Is full
of springs furnishing an abundance of
clear, cold water.

THE COAL SITUATION. Sn ys the
Engineering and Mining Journal:
"There is no change In the anthracite
market. All conditions are practically
what they have been for the past six
weeks. There is a fair movement of
coal, consisting chiefly of current de
liveries on old orders before the last
advance. The west Is taking the cus
tomary amount at this season and Is
putting In some stocks. The eastern
market Is Improving and Inquiries are
coming in more freely. In this ninrket
new business is still very light. Oood
customers of the companies are able to
buy at he net circular price, $3.85 for
stove, $3.60 for egg and chestnut and
$3.35 for broken, net on board, the full
rates obtaining only on small orders.
So long as the companies will not agree
to Insure their good buyers against
lossfs arising from a decline In prices
later on, there Is no particular Induce
ment for stocking up at this time, espe
cially if the buyer remembers the In
stability of the market and the uncer
tainty f prices of the past two years.
Notwithstanding this seeming lack of
confidence In their own ability tu main
tain prices In the fall and the present
dullness of the trade the market today
Is Fteadier and firmer in tone than for a
long time past. It Is true that the gro.w
earnings i f most of the companies show
a considerable decrease, as compared
with the corresponding period of lVD'i.
but on th'? other hand the statistical
position of the market Is much better,
from a seller's standpoint. Shipments
of anthracite during the month cf April
were 3.013.190 tons. making 12.4"j9.288
with the corresiiondlng nerlod of 1895.
The tonnage for May and June will be
at the rate of 3,000,00(1 tons per month,
which will mean 18,500,000 tons In round
numbers for the first half of the year. It
has been estimated that the market will
take at least 44.000,000 tons this year,
or 25.500,000 tons dining the second half.
This means that the production from
July 1 to Dec. 31 will have to be at the
rate of 4,250,000 tons monthly. In view
of the decreased amount of dead work
done during the past year, 4,250,000 tons
per month will require very nearly
working on full time to ship. It Is the
knowledge of these facts which enables
the companies to bide their time. The
report that prices will be advanced
again on July 1 circulates persistently.
There Is no doubt that the companies
desire it, but the advance may be de
ferred until Aug. 1, as some of the
prominent Interests are understood to
be against too early an action. It looks
now as If at last the seller will be In a
position to dictate to buyers next fall.
