his assertion that he discovered
the north pole, caused Mrs. Will

everything which was published
that had a bearing on the claims
of the two explorers. She was a

Recently she concluded that

she became respondent. This
increased until today she attempt.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
ROME, Sept. 2S.-M. Bamum,
the noted astronomer, today pre-
dicted violent seismic disturbances
for this week and expressed his
belief that the spot on the sun,
the largest ever seen, was respon-
sible for the electrical prenomena
which interrupted telegraphic COM
munication last Saturday and Sun
day. Barnum said that he ex-
poets more violent manifestations.
Barnum's statement follows
that of Frank A. Perrott, assistant
director Of the Royal Observatory
on Mount vesuvius, who says that
the positions of the sun, moon,
Mars, Saturn and Jupiter are such
that they produce terrific strain
on the earth and may change Its
shape fom spherical to elliptical.
Perrott predicted the great
quake that destroyed Messina and
as result OF these predictions
the people OF Southern Italy are
badly frightened, fearing a repeti-
tion of the Calabrian disturbances.
