Some Blame Sun Spot.

Possible connection between the evil
weather conditions and the hig sun spot
which today is approaching a position
s0uarely on the face of the sun was
suggested by many persons who knew
of the big blemish on old SOILS com
plexion. The scientists at the Naval
Observatory. however. declined today
to say anything on this subject. de-
claring II was all 10 matter of pure
speculation.
"All that astronomers and scientists
know in regard to the influence of
sun spots IN terrestrial conditions.
said one Of the astronomers at the OBJ
scrgatory today. ''is that the recur-

panied by violent disturbances of the
earth's magnetism and equally violent
disturbances CT the magnetic compass.
As to the connection of such spots with

This opinion from an automobile ex-
