EDS. RECoRD-U UNION: The key to open
| the gates to the wide and extended fields of
view in the science of astronomy is found
by the writer and also a proper name for
his discoveries. The facts as taught by
Copernicus, kepler and Calico were also
taught by Sir Isaac Newton and the new
discovery of Newton has been taught and
handed down to us rs among the positive
in the science of astronomy
Universal gravitation is explained by the
scientist as that universal law of attraction
by which every particle of matter in the
system has a tendency to every other parti-
Gle, and that the power OF terrestrial gravi-
tation is greatest at the carth's surface,
which is about sixteen pounds to the square
inch. Newton was an English philosopher,
and the French philosopher strove hard
to revolutionize the Newtonian theory
OF late there is 4 widespread interest in the
United States in regard to the NewtOnan
theory of universal attraction Among
those who have written upon it is B. r. Kav-
anaugh, of Mount Sterling, of the State of
Kentucky. He takes bold stand against
the NewtOnian theory, and in place of it he
gives to the world, as the power that gov
erns all things both terrestrial and celes-
the solar system. He says that Sir Isaac
Newton died in March, 1927 twenty-five
years before the discovery, by Dr. Franklin
of the United States of America. of the uni
verSal prevalence of electricity, and yet up
to the present day the NewtOnian theory
has not been adjusted to this new and i'm
portant discovery.
Having given the reader some of the
features of the Newtonian theory of attrac-
ton, and also some of the declarations of
Professor kavanaugh, will speak of INV
own discovery and theory, which | call
positive magnetic force. The ancients and
Newton found the centripetal force, as
found in all nature, but | have found the
centrifugal, also as found in all nature. |
do not desire to be found as an opposer of
Newton or any other theorist but desire
to give the facts in the most simple form
To be understood
The positive magnetic form is now called
the magnetic current, but this name is A
miSnomer, for it is no more nor. less than
the suns centrifugal force. This centri-
fugal force is positive magnetic and il is
not a current; but it fills all space and
holds in their places all the spheres, both
far and near, for its nights and lengths and
breadths have not been found. 1t cannot
be bottled up like electricity, for it goes
lnIouSh anu tllouSH siil hnOWn substances.
In proof of what have said, | will add
that this force has rise and fall with the
sun. The maximum is at II o'clock in the
day, and the minimum at u o'clock at
night The second proof is, that in the
deepest mining shafts all the loosened
stones and debris begin to fall at u o'clock
at night. That is the hour that this centri-
fugal force of the sun is reversed and is in
antipodes 10 u o'clock in the day. And
the third proof is in the tides of the ocean.
When the moon is between the sun and
the ocean, the tides are augmented and
which gives us the large tides of the month.
Respectfully, WIN. WIGGIN SMITH.
