Prom Storms and Signs.
As all of our predictions for May
were so very accurately fulfilled, wo
shall endeavor this month to delve a
little deeper Into the hidden wonders
of the universe nnd point out the many
dangers that lie before us. Tho high
Hood vital forces will rule In America
by a two-thirds majority, which natur
ally should make business boom, nnd
drive all evil influences out; but, un
fortunately, Karth will bo In the House
of Adversaries of the United Stales,
and In company with the great planets,
Saturn and Uranus; and Saturn will be
In opposition to tho sun, and to tho
earth, on the loth Inst., while the now
moon will appear far to the north and
will show only four degrees of being In
opposition to Saturn, making a pecu
liar condition of planetary affairs which
will prove a decided evil lay-out, and
the following dnngeis may bo looked
for as Hartlr Is In the "House of Hne
mles" opposed by tho "House of Sick
ness." THH COMING DANGERS.
Wo have reasons to believe that the
general health of tho people will be
bad, that malaria and fevers will pre
dominate; that discontent, rumors of
wars and great discord geneially will
prevail; that the cereal markets will bo
subject to bad bleaks: that the first
part of the month will move a very
unfavorable time to start new enter
prises; that great conflagrations, acci
dents nnd awful crimes will surprise
tho people; that rabid animals, diseases
of horses and cattle will annoy the
farmer; that plant lice, caterpillars,
locusts, giasshoppers and army worms
will overrun vegetation In many sec
tions of tho country; that heat waves
and cold waves will surprise us; that
destructive storms of rain and hall will
destroy llelds of grain; that high winds
and electrical storms will cause much
dnmage; that cyclones will sweep the
western and southern stntes; and hur
ricanes will sweep tho seas; that the
foreign countries will give birth to
many cll depiedatlons, and great
Hoods and earthquakes may be record
ed. THK STORMS AND SIGNS.
Fine weather will predominate In the
Kastorn states, several .dazzling elec
tilcal displays will bo seen, and one
'torm of almost continuous thunder vi
lli ntions will be heard in the heavens.
The sunset scenes will be something
grand to behold. Tho central periods
rear which tho greatest storms may
occur aie tho 3d, Cth, 7th, 9th, 11th, nth,
ICth, 19th, 22d, 23thl and 2Sth. Some of
the storms will result in disastrous
floods. In which the Hastern states will
suffer. Three meteors will fall to earth
this month, and another comet will bo
sighted. A new electrical storm combi
nation may greet us. Great northern
lights will be seen, oIfo strange cloud
formations. There will bo nn eclipse
of tho sun on the 7th Inst.; and nn
eclipse of tho moon on tho 22d. but
neither vlslblo in America except In
Alaska. This Is not the year for lo
custs, but several "bands" will visit
Pennsylvania all tho same; and a new
vegetable microbe will attack the clo
ver and grass fields that were sowed at
Low Kbb time.
VALUABLE INFORMATION.
The best days to fish will be tho 1st,
2d, 3d, 7th, 10th, 20th, 20th and 29th.
Fish caught at any other time will not
bo In proper condition to be eaten by
man.
Small pieces of aluminum glass
placed under the legs of an Incubator
will protect tho unhatched "chicks"
from sudden death by thunder vibra
tions. "Potato blight' Is a blood disease,
and all outward applications do no
good; each potato must be treated with
an Injection of sulphur and polen, nnd
planted only at High Flood time.
Don't kill tho mosquito with perman
ganate of potash or any other drug
for they are your friends. They take
from your blood the malarial microbes.
If the mosquitoes were all killed along
the lowlands there would spring up a
terrlbo scourge of malarial fevers In
this country.
Our "Sign Planting" directions In full
will bo sent free this month for two
stamps to anyone who Is not able to
send full price. Juno will prove the
banner month for seed growing this
year. pr0f. C. Coles,
