THE CAUSE OF

The oldest inhabitant does not
recall such a long spell of spring
weather in winter. Down in Silver
City the rose bushes are budding
and the surrounding country is
putting on the aspect of spring.
A phenomenal change III the
course of the Japan current which
flows from the equator is said 70
be the cause. Sea captains report
that il has shifted 90 miles to the
eastward with the result that
Alaska is experiencing unheard OF
weather from the result of the
warn water on the coast. Here
are some of the readings of the
thermometer in the latter part OF
January: Sitka AS degrees above
zero; Velde 81 and Nome only ;

pole 80.
This is the supposed cause of thu
shifting of the current from it!

largely cau-ed by the moon

5000 miles nearer to the eartl

according to the astronomers ant
