In Allegheny City the disturbances
caused an interruption to all the po-

The prediction of Prof. John A. Bras

a huge sun spot he discovered prob

may, or may not be followed by electri-

in predicting that they will be. There
is some connection between sun spots
and the aurora borealis, but it's nature
has not been determined. Sun spots
are caused by the sun absorbing or
throwing off gases. according to the
