GROUPING OF PLANETS NOT TO CAUSE STORM
Prof. Alter Says Conjunction o Heavenly Bodies Will Not Affect the Earth
A sun spot forecancer caused no little sensation recently through a publication forecasting a strange grouping of six mighty planeta which would cause a sun spot visible to the naked eye. He contends that this strange grouping of the planets will cause the United States to be awakened by terrific storms. The paper is dated December 17 to the 20. Following is part of the article published in a recent issue of the Seattle Star:
"This sun spot that will appear December 17, 1919, will be a vast wound in the side of the sun. There will be hurricanes, lightning and colossal rains. It will be weeks before the earth will regain its normal weather conditions. In large eruptions, great earthquake and floods and fearful cold."
Prof. Dissmore Alter, of the department of astronomy, said that there would be a grouping of the planets as this forecaster pronounced but that no extreme weather would be caused by this grouping.
"According to this article, we should experience the worst weather in the history of man. Weather reports for the month of December are on record for fifty years and I say that this December will be no more severe than others during that year, if we do have bad weather in December, it will not be caused by this peculiar formation of the planets."
The article continues: " six planets — Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune — will be a conjunction, grouped together in the greatest "league of planets" ever known in the annals of astronomy.
While these planets will be grouped, in this way, the earth will not feel the action according to Professor Albert. He said the idea was just a wild dream and said that the people would see that for themselves after December has passed without the unusual weather predicted by this forester.
"They will be massed in the narrow limit of but 26 degrees on the same side of the sun. Directly opposite, coming into position with this gigantic league, will be the huge planet Uranus. The magnetic currents between Uranus and the six planets will pierce the sun like a mighty spear"
