Prom Storms and Signs.
Our predictions last month that
"riots, panics, religious wars and mas
sacres would astonish the natives, nnd
that the excess of High Flood days
would eause exciting scenes in the so
cial, political and business world,"
were fullllied to the letter. This month
the Planets are In a still more danger
ous position than they were last month,
and are under the rule ot Low Ebb
Vitnl Forces. We can very plainly see
just what the outcome of this predic
ament will be, but our own discretion
forbids us to forecast It, as wo are
now all sailing through tho House of
Evil, and anger will spring up Into the
hearts of the oppressed at the least
provocation. Cool hroils and kind
hearts can do much to save life and
property tills month, if they will (?)
DISEASE MICROBES.
Our predictions in February last,
"that the great shadow funnel of the
sun's eclipse would open wide the gate
way of the Atlantic coast through
which th- Plague germs would enter,"
has also proved true; and yellow fever
scourge Is now here! the seed germs
of this awful plague will be carried
into different parts of the United
States by fleeing refugees and there
form a new combination, a cross be
tween the yellow fever and la-grippe
and which will produce an awful epi
demic that will sweep over the coun
try like mad, attacking the head,,
throat, heart, lungs or bowels of both
man and beast, (attacking this organs
that represents the true "Sign" under
which they were born.) Great swarms
of Hies will appear In many localities,
and they will suddenly disappear from
towns and cities whim the yellow fever
microbes put In their appearance!
THE STORMS AND SIGNS.
Unprecedented storms and floods will
sweep over many sections of the land
and sea. Earthquake shocks will be
felt in Ami.-rlca, as well as in the old
country, and strange phenomena will
astonish the world. Awe-Inspiring sun
rise and sun set scenes will be numer
ous, nnd strange electrical storms will
cause the nervous to tremble Tidal
waves will sweep the coasts, and a de
structive terrifying storm will Jump up
out of the ocean, so to speak and give
us a huge surprise. Wotch out for
high galea on or about the 10th Inst.,
especially In northern sections. Torna
does, cyclones, cloudbursts, etc., will
visit the southern nnd western states,
and blizzards to the northwest. Beau
tiful days will predominate In the mid
dle and eastern states. In thi? early
morning of the Oth Instant, Venus and
Jupiter will be close together; get up
and seo them. Do not fall to see our
plametary chart for November; the
planets will then be in a very peculiar
position, and no one should miss see
ing it.
THE VITAL FORCES.
Tho Low Ebb Vital Forces rule the
month of October, having full control
over the 2d, 3d, 6th, 7th, 11th, 12th, 15th,
Kth, 20th, 21st, 22d, 23J, 21th, 2Sth, 2Cth,
29th and 30th; this will cause a feeling
of unrest In the social, political and
business world, and will give us many
surprises. Let those dealing in stocks
look well to their own Interests; let
those dealing in merchandise watch out
for a sharp and sudden turn In prices.
Fruits picked on any of the above
named days will have a tendency to
spoil. On the 4th, nth, 11th and 12th will
be the best days to sow rye for spring
pasture; and on th? 3th, 27th and 2Sth,
will be the best days for the late sow
ing of wheat and rye for grain. Pota
toes dug on Low Eb'b days will be de
stroyed by the "dry rot" microbe. Our
High Flood and Low Ebb Vital Force
Theory Is now ready for mailing. Price,
10 cents. Unless grain Is sowed on the
High Flood days In October It will be
liable to freeze out this winter or be
troubled with microbes next Mimmsr.
During the High Flood days of this
month, will be tho time to transplant
trees, berry bushes, vines, etc.
GREAT DANGER COMING.
Our piedlctions are being fullllied so
accurately, you will of course be in
terested in the following special pre
diction; The Planets are all nearlng
each other, and will nil (except Nop
tune) be on one side of the earth' In
two months henco nnd nearly all in the
samo "House or Sign." Just what the
outcome will be. when all these planet3
concentrate their opposing forass and
fire them at poor old -mother Earth,
only the months of November and De
cember will tell! Let all Rulers be
well guarded during this month and
mxt.
A chart showing tho position of tho
planets at tho present time, will be
sent free for postage, to any nddress.
These who live to see tho closing of
this year 1897, will seo some terrible
nnd unprecedented disasters wrought
by "wind and wave."
For full explanation us to grain sow
ing, potting flowers, picking fruit,
transplanting trees, berry bushes,
vines, etc., seo our High Flood and
Low Ebb Vital Force Theory.

New York, Oct. 1. Tho bulls made
their ilrst aggressive stand In over
two weeks, and after a heavy decline
In the earlier part ot tho day they came

the closing, prices very generally above
last night's level. There was nothing
In the news of the day that could be
counted more favorable than that of
tho preceding day or two, and a sharp
stiffening in the rates for call money
during the afternoon might be called a
distinctly unfavorable factor; but It
had no effect in preventing the recov
ery and tho close was at practically
the highest point of the day. Tho mar
ket was Irregular, prices of some stocks

In the usual trading the raids of bears
