The San Francisco Chronicle publish
es the following prediction, made by a
local philosopher, W. Frank Stewart:
During the past eight months the
earth and other planets completed the
most remarkable conjunction which
has ever occurred; and on the night OF
the l4th OF last November we again
witnessed the grand thirty. four year
star swarm. Every intelligent person
Is aware that Tor period OF nearly two
years our globe has been subjected TO
violent perturbAtions, such as have not
occurred for many centuries. These
perth rbatlons have been generally over
the face OF the planet. Storms, ty>
phoons, volcanoes, earthquakes, In
tense cold and scorchinE wIuds
have alternately spent their fury upon
the denlzens Of every hemisphere
BY careful observations, astronomers
have found that In a period Of about
eleven years the sun turns towards us
Remarkably spotted disc, and II has
also been observed that any sudden
changes OF light and shade upon the
sun during this spotted period instant.

Immediately followed by one OF the
most brilliant Aurora Borealls ever
witnessed in the northern hemisphere,
and still more surprising, the magnetic
e1ect ofthe aurora was so great that
messages were freely sent over tele.
graph lines without connection with
the batteries and by the means OF
the aurora current alone. Mauy
additional facts. showing the con
necEion OF celestial with terrestrial
magnetism, might be given but
have neither the time nor room
ut present. Suffice II 10 say that as the
earth's magnetic FORCES are now ,and for
many months have been, greatly dis.
turbed by cosmical lnterierences; and
as we have recently made our annual
transit through the nebulous belt; and
as the sums surface at this moment Is
disngured by an unusual number OF
spots; and as the moon on the 7th inst.
passed between US and the SUI thereby
causing an additional magnetic dIstur.
