Aitrologist Tells George to Beware
of Evil Days In March of
Next Year.
Host on. That King George of Eng
land must beware of evil days next
March Is the prediction of Culharine
H. Thompson, astrologlst Miss
Thompson bases hor prediction on the
fact that Jupiter enters Pisces, a
watery, unstable sign, next March, and
afntctg the kind's radical sun, and sick
ness and trouble should increase
rather than diminish. While Jupiter
was passing through Aquarius this
year, she says, trouble for the king was
allayed. Something extraordinary will
happen, she predicts, such as the slego
of London, the full of Westminster ab
bey, St. Paul's cathedral or Ducking
ham palace.
