PROP. COLES FOR APRIL Prom Bto'rms and Signs.. Harth Is now passtntr through the House of Honor," nnit opposed by tha "House of tho Orave," which will cause America to be courageous nnd Spain to be treacherous. Mare, being now In tho slRn Aquarius, will mnkc America rash and headstrong, with u love for argument nnd revolution, and will make Spain crafty.cnutlous and politic. The position of the planets this month Indicates that great evil will be abroad In the land and cause labor troubles, panics, Incendiarism nnd outrages ot the most diabolical character, as the High Flood and tho Low Khb vital forces nre equally divided, and tho prent struggle for supremacy between these two mighty forces will be tho cause of It nil. As tho greatest rare should be taken In plnntlng and sow ing tills month, In order to ecuro a good crop, we will send our "Planting Signs" free to any address for postage. Free for the month of April only. THE STORMS AND SIONS. Our predictions last month that March would turn Into a spring month and give us a great surprise; that a new comet would come In ruach of tho great telescopes; and thnt cyclones, blizzards und Hoods would sweep the western states, etc., were all fulfilled. This month another comet will be sighted, nnd there will be one or two breaks In the gaseous matter passing over the sun that will cause terrible storms, destructive Hoods, snow block ades, llcrce hall storms, cyclones, hur ricanes and tidal waves, awful elec trical displays and tremendous thundor vibrations. The cold wuves and the heat waves will pursue each other In battle array, nnd nmko the month like both December nnd May. Vv'utch out for throe beautiful sunset scenes, and two strnngo appearing circles uround tlu moon that will cause Its rays to appear In all the colors of the rainbow, and black snow will fall In some local ities. WORDS OF WARNING. Watch out for nn epidemic of evil do ings that will run riot throughout America and the old country. Dark storm clouds will follow close upon the heels of bright sunny days, and high gales will whistle the accom paniment. Earthquakes and tidal waves will do untold damage, especially In the old country. Thunder showers nnd white lightning will appear In some localities. More waterspouts will ho seen on tho ilreat Lakes and on the sens, nnd hur ricanes will sweep the coasts. The magnetic currents are still run ning southward, nnd when they re verso nn awful destructive storm will sweep over this country. A sudden return of the mngnetlc cur rents will produce a tidal wavo or nn earthquake. Sudden changes In the weather will produce new epidemics this month. Wntch your cattle and swine, ns nn army of strancf- disease microbes nre now abroad in the land. STRANGE PHENOMENA. The strange phenomenons that wo predicted for last mouth nil came ns predicted, even to tho reverslngot the magnetic! currents, which caused the most magnificent display of magnetic waves ever seen in tho heavens. This month there will be another display, and green lightning will appear In less than ten days thereafter. The cause of this strange phenomena will be fully explained some time in the near future. The fulfilling of our predictions Is suf llclent evidence, we think, to assure you thnt our new theory of science nnd astronomy will bo well worth your greatest attention. The bright star that we made special mention of in our last month's forecast hns appeared In the golden west, and In a few weeks more will shine out like a great electric light suspended from tho heavens, and by Its bright rays we shall wilte the book that will make astronomy plainer, science clearer, the planets smaller and Heaven nearer.

Cnpt.iln William Becker, of the schoon er Redlngton, now loading lumber at the Scott & Bolster saw mill In tho port of Duluth, is voted u hero by the men th.u saw him at great risk to his own life save AVIIIIntn Barnes, a. lumber shover from deuth by drawiilng. The slip at the lum ber yard of tho Scott & llolsten com pnny was tilled with bioken Ice wlun the schooner Redlngton arrived to begin load ing ii cargo of lumber. On the lumber piles wero tho men that were to shove the lumber on board. Barnes was among them. Ho is a heavy man, weighing 250 pounds, und, venturing too near tho edge, of the lumber pile, a board slipped, or tipped, and he was precipitated down something like twenty-live feet Into ths K'y waters of tho slip. Barnes struck on ono side, but immediately came to the surfaio and clutched In vatn at the float Ing cakes for support. By tho greatest effort ho succeeded In keeping his head above water for a few moments. Cap tain Becker had hit overcoat on and without a moments hesitation, and with out removing his overcoat, leaped twenty feet between t'o Icy walls of the boat nnd tho fnce of the lumber pile. The daring man struck a projecting timber and wns turned over. Ho allghter on his back, but wns uninjured, and Immediate ly took possession of the gigantic form of the drowning lumber shover. The lat ter was absolutely helpless by this time, and had assistance came a few seconds Inter It would have been too late, With n few poweiful strokes tho life saver reached a piling In tho face of the dock nnq assisted Barnes to get tho latur's amis around It, whero they nlmost Im mediately frozo stiff to the wood, Tl were, of courre, promptly rescued.
