ILENCE WE OMIT THEM, AND REFER OUR READERS TO THE GOVERNMENT SIGNAL OFFICE BULLETINS, PUBLISHED FROM DAY TO DAY THESE HAVE A SCIENTIFIC BASIS AND ARE WORTH NOTING. THE “SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC,” ONE SUPPOSED TO GOVERN THE VARIOUS PARTS OF THE HUMAN BODY, HAVE NO REAL INFLUENCE OF THE KIND. BELONGING PROPERLY TO THE AGE OF FABLE, AND HAVING NO PRACTICAL RELATION TO HUMAN WELL-BEING IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, THERE IS NO GOOD REASON FOR PERPETUATING THE OLD-TIME FASHION OF MAKING THEM A PROMINENT ALMANAC FEATURE.
