PROF. COLES FOR NOVEMBER.
From Storms nnd Signs:
This month the planets are all on
one side of the earth, nnd In order thnt
thousands may see how strikingly odd
they appear we have made arange
lnents to give away live thousand of
the planetary charts and Storm and
Sign calendars (absolutely free ) to
the first five thousand addresses sent us.
Saturn, Uranus, Venus and Mercury
are nil found in the same "house"
(house of friends. In Sign Scorpio, the
most malignant sign on the Zodiac
Circle. And. nil of them oposed to old
mother earth, who would receive the
greatest punishment she ever received
was It not for old red warrior Mars
coming to her assistance. He will de
fend her and show those great plnnets
what he can do when he sets out to
befriend and defend a sister planet.
So we muy look for several brilliant
meteoric displays this month and
many strange phenomenns, with some
awe-inspiring sunset scenes. Several
'sun-dogs" will appear In the heavens
nnd some unusual electrical displays.
Northern flash lights will light up
Heaven's hl(jh dome and rainbows will
be seen at midnight In some places.
Showers of insects and small reptiles
muy fall about the great lakes and on
thu coast of the ocean. The planets
are In the same position this month as
they were twenty-seven years before
the deluge. The great battle between
the planets this month will occur in
the early part of the month, ami. tin
attempt will bo made by earth's op
ponents to force another Maul save
upon the Atluntlc coast some time be
tween the 5th and 15th. November will
prove a very peculiar month. For while
some sections are having sunshine and
summerlike weather other sections will
have nothing but rain, hail, snow,
slush, Hoods, high wiiiihi, etc. The
regular, reactionary and local disturb
ance periods are all marked on our
Storm and Sign Calendar, which will
be sent free to any address. The
gaseous matter passing over the sun
shows no sign of a break this month,
but on or about the Oth nnd 25th of
next month we shall bn obliged to hoist
our hurricane signals ngain! Last
month we put out the hurricane signal
fifteen days In advance of the Weather
Rureau's, as a warning of the np
proaehlng tidal wave. Thunder show
ers will appear In some localities and
produce green lightning. Karth Is now
passing through the house of sickness,
let every one who reads this keep their
eyes on the "low ebb" vital force dates,
as marked on our Storm and Sign Cal
endar. Old Red Warrior Mars will
defend old mother earth this month
and keep her from being too severely
punished. And, then, will turn upon
her next month and give her greater
punishment than she would have re
ceived from her Scorpio enemies. Oh,
the planets act so human-like! So
much like deceitful men. Friends to
day, and enemies to-morrow. Let ev
ery mnn, woman and child, who has
any religious faith In their souls, go
to work In dead earnest and help to
keep back thP awful dendly Influences
that earth will have to encounter dur
ing the next three months. The vltul
forces will make two desperate plunges
this month, on the 11th and 23d Inst.
They will fall from "hlah flood" again
In twenty-four hours' time: therefore,
let those troubled with heart disease,
and in poor health, be on their guard
and not over exert themselves! The
"high Hood" dates this month nre the
6th, 7th, Rth, Oth, 10th, 12th. 1"th. liih.
15th, 16th. 17th, 21st. 22d, 24th. 2,5th and
26th, which shows a big business boom
for this month and next.
Good times have come ngain!
Let us all be nierrv!
PROF. C. COLKS,
Editor Storms and Signs.
Kingston, Pa V. A A., Oct. 23, ISilC,
NO Fr.E3 T?.Ali '
in Other Republics
From the Philadelphia Times.
Mr. McKInley or Mr. Bryan, -whichever
our next chief executive muy be.
will count as only one out of more than
twenty-five presidents of republics in
this world. Considering the greatness
of his country and the oitk-.al ceremony
and hospitality expected of him, he will
doubtless be the poorest paid of all thess
executives. If this were France istead
of the United States, Mr. Uryun woUid
be ineligible to the iiir-vhest (illice. on ac
count of his youth. Hi sides bcinc a native-born
Frenchman, the president of
K,ian.e must have hntl at I nst i'orty
yi-arj of experience with vovi-.y nffalrs.
ile receives each year u snun ht'.le for-
time of JtH.Ood. which is Just equnl to
tii,. totul salaries of our iir;s!dnt and
his eight cabinet members added to-
gether. Hesides this, he is furnished i
the hire of a beautiful induce and Is nn-
nualiy given $:il.O0O pin nianey. with
which to pay the expanses of his house- j
hold and stables. Mr. Cleveland is al
lowed an annual appropriation of but
$8,000 "for the contingent expenses of !
the executive household." and has to i
!: for the feeding nnd keening of his j
own horses, besides paying his coach-
man out of Ills own pocket. The French
people never enjoy this hurrah and I
Hurry oi the presidential campaign,
,vhleh we are now experiencing. They
have no Voice In the selection of the
president, nil of that important work
being reserved for congress. The
French senate and chamber of deputies,
which correspond to our two houses of
congress, nitet jointly a month before
the end of the existing president's term.
They march in line past a large urn.
Into whli h each member drops a slip of
paper containing the name of the can
didate of his choice. The man receiv
ing an absolute majority lemiiins presi
dent for seven years, during which
term he receives altogether $1,015,000
from the government. France knows
no regulnr election day. There being
no vlee-preFirtent. the National Assem
bly is called upon to Immediately elect
it successor upon the death or resigna
tion of a president. The new executive
do.s lint merely fill in the unexpired
term of his predecessor, but continues
in power for a full term.
In Switzerland any man who Is twen
ty years old or over can vote. All Vot
ers, except clergymen, are eligible to
the presidency. As In France, how
ever, the common people have no vole
for the president not even indirectly.
through partisan electors, ft very three
years the s.lss congress elects
ii exe- i
etitlve cabinet of seven members, who
nfler being chosen divide utiioiig them
selves the portfolios of "foreign af
fairs." 'post und telegraphs," "justice
nnd police." "finance," "vsir." "In
t.;iw" and "commerce nial duties."
Kvery year the eal.ti"t moot and
elects from its own members ii presi
dent uud vice president of the repub
lic, i
Flection day in .Mexico, ns in this
country, occurs every four y. nrs. There
is no such Intermedia1 body as our
electoral college in Unit republic. The
majority of the votes of all the people
cast at the polls elects t'ne succenslul
candidate. The president is inaugur
ated on the 1st of lceniber, which Is
a much warmer day In that locality
than is the 4th of March here. The
.Mexican president's salary amounts to
311.0(H) ot our dollars a year, which is
really considerably more than Air. i
Cleveland's ollieial wages, the cost ot
living being much less in thut repub
lic. The Chief Justice of the Mexican
Supreme court Is somewhat of a "pooh
bnh." llesldes being the ollieial head
of his own tribunal he Is, ex-otlicio,
president of I he senate nnd vice presi
dent of the republic. President Dins
has a cabinet ol seven secretaries, each
of whom receives exactly the same sal
nry as that given to a cabinet othcer
in this country.
The ollieial Job of president In Ar
gentina Is worth $111,000 more per term
than is the same position In this coun
try. Although the president of that
country receives but $:;ti,ooO per year, he
holds his position for six years. He is
voted for through an electoral college
comprising double the total number of
members of congress,
He cannot serve
two terms in succession, but niny
even a third termer, or perhaps a fourth
termer. It he allows six year to inter-
vein? between each term. The Ico
president of Argentina holds a much
more lucrative position than thnt which
will fall to either Mr. HoharLMr. Sew-
ull or Mr. Watson. As far as ease is j
concerned he has exactly the same sine- j
cure which one of these will enjoy, but !
receives SIS.OO0 a year for six years, or
SlO.iino more per year than our success- j
ful vice presidential candidate will be i
given for four years. Religion counts '
as much ns, if not more than, politics
In Argentine elections. Kvery young j
man who has umbitlotis for the presi- I
dency must be n Uoman Catholic, or I
his yearnings will be of no avail. Re
sides being a Romanist, the president,
according to Cue constitution, must be
over 30 years of age. Hoy orators have
even more of a show in that country
than they seem to hnve in this. Thu
cabinet of the Argentine president cor- I
responds very much to thnt of our
own, with the addition of a minister of
"Worship nud Kditontlon," who directs
ill enterprises aimed at moral and In
tellectual hcal'h. Cabinet ministers
In Argentina receive each year us much
money as ours receive in a year and a
half. I
The president of Bolivia receives $24.-
j 000 a year for four years, lie Is elect
ed by the direct vote of all citizens of
the proper age, who can read and
I write, but :aimot enjoy more than one
term in the presidential chair, no mat
j ter whether be skip u term or not. For
' the s.'itue term urn elected two vice
i presidents, i.uowu ns the first and
j second vice prcsideni. Tiny In turn
perioriu no iuociioiih ui i:ie prevalent
In casp of the death, absence or in
ability of the hitler. The first vice pres
ident receives an annual salary of $6.
i)i)0 a year, while the s-cond receives a
thousand dollars less. The head of the
cabinet, oonsiztlng of five members, is
known as the minister of foreign rela
tions und worship.
1 If we were governed by the same
i laws as uie in vufue in the republic
of Chile our bachelors would have to
wait until 25 before being of voting
age, although our married men, older
in experience and responsibility, might
vote on In coming 21. A Chilean voter
must be able to read and write, and
must each yeur pay n certain amount
of tax to the government. The salary
of the president Is but SIN.OOO. which is
ample for his comfort, and besides this
his term lasts for h year longer than
the term of our executive. He Is voted
for through an electoral college com
prised of three times as many mem
bers ns there are representatives In
the linvet house of the Chilean con
gress. There are eleven membra of
his cabinet, but he can choose but five
of these, the other six being elected
by congress.
A man in Colombia ennnot vote if un
nble to read and write unless he re
ceives an annual Income of al least
$500. In case of the death of boih the
president and vice president of this
republic, the succession falls to u
"deslgnndo," who Is elected by con
gress every two years, ulthough the
president and vice president are elect
ed every six years. The Colombian
congress also elects a council of Stale,
which acts us a secondurv cabinet to
the president.
An odd requirement of the presiden
tial candidate In Honduras Is that he
have one child, at least, A man is
deemed unsuited to wield the sceptre
of state unless he has already wielded
the slbjncr of fatherhood. M"n like
our Immortal Vtis'.iinton. who be-
crene r.usniinr.s lett not fathers, a
not in line for rectlvlas a sircre of lira
highest national honoi s. Tht; president
qZ i;cuuuras must alp W4nomrau
his interest In his country to the ex
tent of ha vine at least $0,000 invested
in Its real estate. To be a clergyman
or priest is Just as fatal to presidential
umliwoi!Mas to be a bachelor, because

The president of Hcuador has no veto
