PREPARE FOR A STORM.
Professor Wiggin Breaks Loose Again With
Another Prediction

OTTAWA (Ont),i March 10.-Professor E.
Stone WigGin, the weather prophet, says:
"rhere is at this moment on the North At
lantic and approaching the American coast
greater storm than any that will happen
during the remainder of this year or even dur
ing 1892. There will be no earthquake beyond
a few shakes north of the equator during
these two years. There will be some south of
the equator, owing to Jupiter's southern
declnation, which is 12o. His large right
ascension of twenty-five hours will contri-
butte greatly to the storm now pending.
There will be no great earthquakes with
displacement in North America until Au-
gust II, 1904. This will rock the surface
from Philadelphia to Prince Edward Island,
and may produce some damage in the mari
time cities of the Northern States and the
Dominion"
