OTTAWA, March 2th.-Wiggius gives as
his theory, which he promised to publish
after tha storm had taken place, the follow
ing: This storm has satisfied me that the
thsory of opposite tides which advanced in
1864 is correct, namely, ;hat il is caused by q
yibratorY motion of tho ocean from east to
west. If yeu will look st the terrestrial globe
and see the peculiar position of the Gulf Of
Mexico, and the tendency OF Cape st. Rouque
to glance uorthward the tides moving west,
you will not wonder at my alarm when OBJ
serving that she moons forces had been in
creased to the greatest possible extent, and
that, too, when che is Fastening with the
other planets from south to north across the
equator. This was exactly the condition of
things during this storm, and only one ele-
meut was lacking to make this o ter
rible affair for tie people of America

make this explanation TO show scisn-
tifc men my system of foretelling
storms. 1t is not Only founded
on science, but on tie earth and heavenly
bodies. l can state, ghat know to be an
absolute fact, ths hour at which great storms
will arise at different points on the esrth's
surface and also when severe cold periods
like that of January, just passed, is too occur;
when remarkable floods will take place, and
when winters to be distinguished for gEsst
quantity of snow, can be predicted for any
length of time in advance. Surely the public
of this continsnt3must be convinced that
