That the dissemination of the ex- treme views held by some persons on the results of an unusual grouping of the planets with respect to each other and to the sun can serve no use full purpose is the opinion of NJ. B. Summers, in charge of the Juneau weather bureau office.
 On the contrary, he says that the publication of such articles as the one that appeared recently in Alaska newspapers, giving forecast of dire happenings to Mother Earth from December F to 20 arouses unneces- sary apprehension, worry and fear in the minds of the superstitious, and many of those who have no knowl- edge of the operations of natural laws relating to weather conditions on the earth.
 About HalIey's Comet
 In every community, he said, there are those who seize upon sensational prophetic statements and work them selves into a high state of nervous ex- citement in anticipation of the fulfill ment of the prophecy.
 Halley's comet a few years ago fur nished the basis for much speculation as to the effect of its tail striking the earth, and not few saw visions of the asphyxiating of all animal life when the phenomenon would occur.
 Every now and then some religious fanatic considers it his bounden duty to enlighten his fellow men that he has figured out from biblical prophecy and historical and current events that the world is due to come to an end on such and such a day. Instances are an record of persons disposing of their property and patiently waiting for the coming of the end, as result of such prophecies.
 Planet Grouping Not Unusual
 If this unusual grouping of the planets will cause such abnormalities in terrestrial weathere, why, says MT. Summers, has the world at large been kept in ignorance of it until within a few weeks of the period in which the events are to occur?
 Astronomy is one of the most exact of the sciences, and the date of the conjunction and opposition Of the planets in this instance, as in others, has been known among astronomers for generations, the same as the dates of eclipses and other events in the life of our solar system. It seems strange that under these circumstances we should not have been warned Hntil the cataclysm is almost upon us.

CLASH OF PLANETS" AND
 SPOTS ON THE SUN HAVE NO FEARFOR WEATHER OBSERVERS

many planets in conjunction will pro- duce a giant sun spot may be true, but it does not necessarily follow that the sun spot will produce the strenu- ous weather of which we nave been SC asensationally warned. Terrestrial magnetic disturbances and storms are common to sun spots, and auroras, or northern lights, are an example. But storms and wind and rain storms are entirely different phenom- .ena.
 When we consider, said MT. Sum- mers, that the earth as viewed by an observer on the sun, would be SO small that it would be invisible to the unaided eye, it seems most unreason- able to think that the sun spot influ- ence on our weather if it exists to any material extent, should be con- fined to any particular part of this Gas seen from the sun) microscopic sur face, such as California, or Alaska, or Brazil, or Central Europe. The sim ultaneous occurrence of violent wind or rain storms throughout the earth's surface, or even in all regions in the same latitude, would indeed be most extraordinary, and a feat of nature that weather records show has not occurred from past sun spot manifes- tations of great intensity
 From a Scientist
 recent issue of the Monthly Weather Review contains an article by Professor c. F. Marvin, chief of the weather bureau, on Terrestrial Weather and Solar Activities" and MT. Summers submits the following quotation therefrsm:
 stThe atmosphere derives it's heat, not directly from the sun, except to small extent, but chiefly from the sur face of the earth itself. The daily seuuence of sunshine and darkness; the varied distribution of clear and clouded skies; diyersities of surface cover added to contrasts of land and water areas, including the phenomena of evaporation, condensation and pre- cipitation; the cycle of the seasons, and above all, the fiuctuating but nevertheless perpetual contrasts Of surface temperatures, ranging all the way from the heat of the tropics to the intense cold of the polar zones, constitute complex series of varied and changeable influences seemingly abundantly adequate to cause and ex- plain every feature of our weather con- ditions. however changeable we may find them.
 "Seemingly with little regard for the considerations just mentioned, many have sought and still seek to ascribe terrestrial weather-that is to say. all the characteristic features Of atmospheric variations-to minor fea- lures of solar activity, as for example to the spots and faculae of the sun or to it's magnetic manifestations, or to the relatively small and irregular fluctuations in the intensity of it's ther- maj radiattons, or to some ot these variously in combination, etc.
 "Even suppose these solar phenom- ena directly influence terrestrial weather in some way yet to be proved, is it not plainly most essential Ill de- tecting and analysing cause and effect relations that we adequately segre- gate and make due allowance for the complex phenomena which clearly must result if solar insolation were perfectly constant and if the other manifestations of solar activity were entirely absent?"

. Allies and the Reservations.

For several days Premier Clemenceau has
been visiting in England comforting with Lloyd
George and other statesmen. This visit has
given rise to several sorts Of rumors one Of
which has to do with revival Of "secret
diplomacy" A far more plausible explanation
is that in the course of the consultations an
agreement to accept the Lodge reservations to
the Treaty of Versailles has been reached Such
an outcome was not entirely unantieipated.
While the leaders of England and France have
been silent during the entire debate in this
country, delicately declining to do or say any
thing that might seem to be indicative OF de-
sire to Interfere, 1t is just as certain that they
were acutey alert to all that was passing.
II it b. true that the great Allies are willing
to accept the reservations made by the senate's
foreign relations committee and adopted by the
body itself the way to early ratifcation.is plain
The Lodge resolution,' which was finally voted
down, provides that the ratification shall not be
complete and effective until the reservations
and understandings adopted BY the senate have
been accepted BY an exchange of notes-as part
and condition Of said resolution Of ratification
by at least three Of the four principal allied and
associated powers. to-wit: Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan" Should it be true
that England and France have agreed to accept
the reservations, we may confidently look for
similar acquiesence on part Of both Italy and
Japan. VI
This brings the matter back fairly to the
White, House. Will the president now make
the concession he has denied to the senate, or
will he continue to insist on having what he
knows he can not get? He will get notice in
the customary way Of the result Of the confer
.ences between Lloyd George and Clemcnceau
and the world ought to know Something about
the matter yery soon

reason exists for thinking that any aid Of the
kind now sent there would have the effect OF
