SEATTLE, Wash.--Major Cicero
Newell tells why there are such
things as earthquakes, tidal waves
and volcanoes. The major learned
these things from the Dakota Indians
when l lived among the Dakotas,
said he, 81 found men who, like Bud.
dha, gave seven years of their lives
to prayer and fasting, that they might
become pure in the sight of God, orl
the Great Spirit, as they call that be-
ing. After they have proved them
selves before their people by perform
ing so-called miracles, such as hold.
ing their hands and arms in boiling
water and not being burned, shot
with poisoned arrows and not harm
ed, bitten by rattlesnakes and not
poisoned, and many other tests that
have witnessed, they are accepted |
as holy or wise men. The Indians |
believe that they can get the word |
direct from God, or the Great Spirit |

They say volcanoes are the safety
valves OF the earth. That the rim of
the earth is gradually cooling. AS i'll
