Owing to strange grouping Of six
mighty planets, such as has not been
seen in a score of centuries, the Unit
ed States next December will be swept
by the most terrific weather catacylsm
experienced since human history be-
gan.
1t will be caused by the hughest
sunspots on record
A sunspot that will be visible to the
naked eye.
Since men first began to make rec
ords of events no sunspot has been
large enough to be seen without the
aid of instruments. This one will be.
The sunspot that will appear Dec.
II. 1919, will be a vast wound in the
side of the sun.
It will be a gigantic explosion of
flaming gases, leaping hundreds of
thousands of miles out into space. It
will have a crater large enough to en-
gulf the earth much as Vesuvius
might engulf football.
Such sunspot will be rich enough
in electromagnetic energy to fling
the atmosphere of our planet into
disturbance without precedent or par
allel.
There will be hurricanes, lightning,
colossal rains.
It will be weeks before the earth will
regain it's normal weather conditions.
There will also be gigantic lava
eruptions, great earthquakes, to say
nothing of floods and fearful cold.
l make this startling prophecy with
no desire to be merely sensational or
alarming. 1t is merely because my
study Of the planets has revealed
certain results with mathematical
certainty, that l new say to you:
"Be warned in advance. Tremen-
dous things are going to happen from
Dec. II to Dec. 20, 1919, and after
ward"
Here are the simple, yet astodun-
ing, facts that enable me to make
this prophecy:
The planets in their orbits swing in
great eclipse about the sun. They
are linked to the sun, and to each
other, by chains Of electromagnetic
energy whose compelling forces coun-
teract each other and hold each
planet in it's regular path.
Whenever two planets wheel into
such positions that they pull to-
gether on the sun-either in econ
Junction. on the same side Of the
sun, or in "Opposition" with the sun
between them-their united pull
causes the suns gases to explode
to leap out into space in the whirl-
ing volcano we call sunspot.
These sunspots in turn cause
storms in the atmosphere of our earth
doubtless on other planets as well
Two planets, united, are enough t.
cause small sunspot and a small
storm. Three cause a larger one
four make a very great storm indeed
But on Dec. II, 1919, no less thar
seven planets will pull jointly on the
sun. These will include all thu
mightiest planets, those with the most
powerful pull.
Six of them Mercury, Mars, We
nus, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune
will be in conjunction; grouped to-
gether in the greatest league 0.
planets" ever known in the annal!
of astronomy.
They will be massed in the narrow
limit of but 26 degrees, on the sam,
side Of the sun.
Directly opposite, coming into op
position with this gigantic league
will be the huge planet Uranus. Th'
magnetic currents between Uranus
and the six planets will pierce tn
sun like a mighty spear.
i Our earth is outside the league a
an angle of nearly 80 degrees
! perfect position to receive almos
the full force Of the monster cleo
trical disturbance as it leaps int
