Notice to Our Readers

By Editor

NOTICE.—We send no papers from this Office without pay in advance, unless by special arrangement. When persons receive copies without ordering them, they are sent by other parties, and we can give no information in regard to them. Persons thus receiving them are not indebted to the Office.
Money orders, drafts, etc., should be made to "Pacific Press;" NEVER to individuals, as they may be absent, and business thereby be delayed.
THE next number of the SIGNS will be dated Jan. 3, 1884.
AT the opening of the next volume we shall give our readers some startling evidences of the nature of Spiritualism and mediumship.
THE interesting articles on Nehemiah are not concluded in this paper. We have two more, which will be published in January.
WE commenced an editorial for this number of the SIGNS on The Day of the Sabbath, or the identity of the Sabbath day, but as we could not say all we wished to on that subject in one number, concluded to lay it over to the first number of Volume 10.
SOME matters which might be noticed to profit came to hand too late for this paper. A number of letters remain unanswered for want of time to attend to them. We fear we can do no better until our assistant editor can be spared from Healdsburg College.
"THE red sky," evenings and mornings, still continues. And still it remains unaccounted for. The latest decision of "science" on this coast is that the redness is caused by the great amount of smoke in the atmosphere. This we might believe if the phenomenon were a local one, and if there had been an unusual amount of fires prevailing. But the present redness prevails from the Pacific to the Atlantic, even in those countries where heavy rains have fallen. We have seen the atmosphere so smoky, in the Eastern states and in Canada, that the sun was nearly obscured, but the like of this we have never seen. We do not believe that it can be accounted for, any more than we can account for the so-called "Northern lights."
