STORM RAGING
 ON OLD SOL
Has Been Brewing for Eleven Years, According to University
 Professor

A storm. which has been brewing eleven years. is now raging In an its fury on Che surface ot Che sun. ace cordiug Co observations Of Prof s. Ia. Boothroyd. head Of the depart ment of astronomy at the Uuiycr- sity of Washington. at Seattle.
 "A few days ago ! observed two large groups of sun spots. contain ing twenty Co fifty spots each from 5000 Co 5o.OO0 or GO.Oo0 miles iu diameter. and each caused by % storm similar Co our territorial tor nadocs" says Professor Boothroyd iu a letter received on Che ChaWo. by a University of Washington grad uate
 "Thc spots last from a tcw days up Go several months and occur u greatest size and number at periods oS eleven years. One ot these peri- ods of solar storms Is now due, and accounts for che large spots being observed
 "Just what causes the sun Co bc troubled with storms at regular iu- tcryaIs Of eleven years Is not known. There are several theories, but none of them are accepted by scientists Jt is probable that the pcriod.c.,y Is due Co some unknown cause gr.s- Ing from Che manner u which che sun was evolved or Co its physical structure"
 The earth win feel Che effects ot these solar disturbances. some g3.- 100000 miles away. according Co Professor Boo.hroyd. Observations covering a period Of 100 years show that there is distinct connection between electrical storms and ap- pearances of Che aurora borcal.s and the appearances of sun spots. When The number ot sun spots Is largest Che electrical disturbance is grcat- est. Prof Boothroyd said that re- ports from thc north already indi- cate exceptional appearances Of Che aurora.
 Calico was Che first scientist Go observe sun spots. in about I6tU," writes Prof. Boothroyd. "Othcr men had undoubtedly noticed them, but he was Che first Co affirm that they were on Che sun. Before that time. Che sun had been worshipped, or at least thought a sacred object. and jt was au oUense Co religion Go say that it could be obscured by spots on its surface"

NORTHERNER'S
 EXPERIENCE
Wrangell Man Travels as Entire Stranger in Train With Sister
 in Texas

Harvey Taylor, who returned last week from a visit to Higgins, Texas, had an experience in the Lone Star State which was a real coincidence. Mir. Taylor went to Higgins, Texas, Co visit a sister whom he had not seen for % years. His sister knew nothing of his coming. When the train stopped at a town about a hundred miles from Higgins a lady boarded the train and entered the car in which Mir. Taylor was travel ing and took seat near him. When Mir. Taylor got on the train at Higgins this lady alighted also, and it happened that she went Co the same hotel he did Mir Taylor inquired of the hotel keeper as 10 where his sister lived and was in- formed that the lady who arrived on the same train he did was his sister. She was stopping at the hotel awaiting her husbands ar rival from the country to take her home.
 Mir. Taylor did not reveal his iden- uty to his sister. But when her husband arrived Mir. Taylor intro duccd himself to him. The brother in-law then called his wife and rep resented Mir. Taylor to her as an old acquaintance whom he had invited Co go to the ranch with them for a few days. The three got into the automobile, Mir. Taylor and his sis- ter sitting in the same seat. The three talked about politics and other subjects as they sped along the country highway, the sister not sus- pecting the identity Of her supposed new acquaintance.
 Finally Mir Taylor's brother-in- lawlaw could stand it no longer and he called out suddenly to his wife, "Alicc. don't you know who this is?" The sister turned and looked search ingly into her brothers eyes, and then suddenly recognizing the loved one she had not seen in a quarter Of Ia century exclaimed, My brother!" She was SO overcome with surprise that it was almost five minutes be- f,rp ehn enpko opoiu
 Mr Taylor spent several weeks getting acquainted with his sister and telling her true stories of the Northland. which seemed to her like fairy Wrangell Sentinel.
