Predicted 1912 as “Black Year."

Astrology is the pseudo science which essays to foretell future events by studying the position, of the stars and ascertaining what their Influence may be on human destiny. The Chinese, the Egyptians. the Chaldeans, the Romans, and moat other ancient nations were implicit believers in astrology, as were the later Jews, the Arams, with other Mohammedan racea, and the Christians in mediaeval Europe. So we see that the science has a long and honorable record behind it. "Young Moore,” the British astrologer, predicted long ago the social and political troubles of recent days. He wrote of 1912 as the "black year," and tells us how .it is done. He says:, ‘Genuine astrological horoscopes and forecasts are based exclusively upon exact astronomical and mathematic | calculations, and the trained scientific astrologer will calculate the past or future of any person by the same, methods that the astronomer to calculate the return of a comet, the new and full moon, eclipses, high and low tides, weather changes, and other natural phenomena."
