PROPHESIES MANY PLAQUES
DR.. Everette, Celebrated Scientist,
Makes a Number of Uncomforta-
BILE Predictions About the
Comet

Tacoma Wash, Jan. s.-Carbonic
acid rainfalls. plaques. earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions, terrific storms, til
dal waves and numerous other phe-
nomena will affict the earth during
1910 if the predictions of DR.. Willis
Eugene Everette the scientist of this
city, who foretold the seismic upheav-
ais at San Francisco and at Messina.
and the recent Pacific coast storm
come true.
The visit of Halley's comet this year
through the tail of which the earth
will pass on May 18th, and five days
later together with the rapidly in
creasing orbital eccentricity, will set
UP a series of electric, magnetic and
etheric vibrations together with vio-
lent volcanic and seismic disturbances
calculated to make things uncomfort-
able.
DR.. Everette has summarized his
conclusions as follows:
About midnight of May IS, 1910 the
comet known as Halley's will pass be-
tween the earth and our sun. The tail
of the comet is 2OO0OO0OO miles in
length and is also enormously wide at
its farther end. This cometary appen-
dage or tail is composed of highly
heated gaseous monOxide of carbon,
gaseous hydricoxide, and gaseous
acetylene in an intensely growing and
incandescent condition. These blazing
gases of carbon. hydrogen. and oxy-
gen are combined with millions of
trillons of scintillating white hot par
ticleS of mineral dust and ashes. which
are constantly streaming out from the
comet as it rushes along its orbit with
/ a Of mil
! ond or 100000 miles per hour.
''When our earth passes into the in
candescent, glowing appendage of the
comet there viii occur at such time
an increased vibration of three dis
/ tinct kinds of terrestrial energy. EnOr-
nous radioactive conditions. combin- :
| ed with electric. ma gnetic and etheriC
! disturbances. will take place in the at
/ sphere of our earth. attended with
| great storms of wind. rain. hail. snow
and lightning.
Earthquakes and Tidal Waves
"Niolent magnetic and electric pull
satiOns of energy will traverse both
the solid and liquid mass of the earth
| and tidal waves, volcanic outbursts
Iand seismic shocks will be recorded al
over the earth
The normal negative electrism OF
the earth will be violently disturbed
from pole to pole by the increased pos
iitive radioactive etheric pulsations
throughout the earth's polar atmos-
phere. So strong will b. the increase
of these positive electrical aerial vi
brations that telegraph. telephone and
