H | HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do not ¢ mpel” BISEEENEAEASE RIS &5, L N SUNDAY, JUNE 9 This is an uncertain day in planetary direction. The stars en- courage faith in future history, but presage months of severe le:st.s to confidence in the prevalence of good in a world of disaster and war. Under this configuration jeal- ousy may be prevalent among men of high ambitions, Heart and Home: There may be a sense of futility today when plans for the summer appear to be hampered by unexpected con- ditions, public and domestic, It is not a good date for starting any- thing, but should be favorable for informal entertainments and short motor trips. Warning is given that the summer will be unusually warm in many states. For that reason strict economy now may ‘prove a benefit later in the season. Girls should prepare to pass vacations in training for public service of some sort. Business Affairs: Trade should be brisk for many merchants. Man- ufacturers will push productioh. In many indirect ways the effects of the war in Europe will beé felt New channels of commerte will open for a time. Attention will focus on oil proguction, New plans for constructive relief will be preached and practiced. National Issues: Unless health considerations prevent, political leaders who have been much . in the public eye will be likely« to gain victories in the national con- ventions. Warning is given that the stars presage illness and sudden ending to many careers before the autumn, The people will now turn to conservative leaders are revela-| tions of subversive activities alarm | loyal citizens of this country. | International Affairs: Erlbi,sh‘l forces in the European war will| sustain temporary reverses which | will assure support from powvrrul" friends among the democratic na- | tions. Uranus in Taurus, = Which marked the age of dictators, now has a more promising i, for the Allies. The stars presage two years of severe test. Armageddon may be upon the world, but democ- racies are to survive. | Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of un- expected experiences, many of which will be profitable. Danger of an inclination toward extrava- gance is forecast. Children born on this day prob- ably will be emotional, sensitive and fond of excitement and ¢hange. These temperamental boys and girls are usually fortunate throughout life. * MONDAY, JUNE 10 Mingled good and evil are.dis- cerned in the aspects of - today. Women are under favorable in- fluences in the morning. Labor is under a sinister sign. The evening is favorable to men whu'desire leadership. Heart nd Home: Whatever is of special concern to the family s under a good sway today. Girls should make the most of social opportunities, for romance awaits many, The summer is to be a per- iod of speedy courtships and in- tense love affairs. Hasty miartiages will precede separations due to the call of many to public setvice. Business Affairs: Purveyors of foodstuffs will have a season of great activity. Modern ways of preserving and conserving fruits and vegetables will be of greatest concern as aid to foreign victims of war is needed. Farmers should prosper. New fabrics and novel me- chanical inventions will bring for- tunes to many. National Issues: Trade ‘agree- ments with foreign nations will cause divergent opinions among statesmen and thinking citizens. The question of how far the brotherhood idea reaches in practi~ cal application will be widely dis- cussed. Peril to the nation from within is discerned by the seers who see the leaven of revolution working among agencies of foreign foes of democracy. International Affairs: Those who read the stars declare that war will test democracy but not crush it. The remainder of 1940 and "all of 1941 are foreseen as destructive to much that is precious to civiliza- tion. The signs which have encour- aged dictators to reach tha heights of power will cast them down within two years, it is foretold, but the Allies will pay a frightful price for working out the predestined final defeat. Persons . whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of some difficulties in which the health of the family causes anxiety. Gain in business or financial matters is in- JUNE THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1940. . 20 YEARS AGO | PG 8, 1920 That a five-stamp pilot mill was to be in operation on the property of the Alaska Endicott Mining Company at William Henry Bay within a few weeks, was the news brought here by Superintendent A.
