EARTH IN MIGHTY SHOCK.
Astronomer Porta Sees Planetary
Upheaval Next December
Earth Torn by Quakes
and Storms.

San Francisco, July 30.-Owin,
to strange grouping OF 81,
mighty planets. such as has no
been seen in a score Of centuries
the United States next Decembc
will be swept by the most terrifi,
weather cataclysm experienced
since human history began.
1t will be caused by the huges
sulspot on record
A sunspot that will be visibl,
to the naked eye.
Since men first began to make
records of events no sunspot ha.
been large enough to be seen with
out the aid of instruments. This
one will be.
The sunspot that will appear
December IL, 1919, will be vast
wound in the side Of the sun.
It will be gigantic explosion
of Tuning gases. leaping hundreds
of thousands Of miles out into
space. 1t will have crater large
enough to engulf the earth, much
as Vesuvius might engulf a foot
ball.
Such a sunspot will be rich
enough in electromagnetic ener-
gy to fling the atmosphere Of our
planet into disturbance without
precedent or parallel.
There will be hurricanes, light
ming, colossal rains.
1t will be weeks before the
earth will regain it's normal
weather conditions.
Great Shocks.
There will also be gigantic lava
eruptions, great earthquakes, to
say nothing Of floods and fearful
cold.
| make this startling prophecy
with no desire to be merely sensa-
tional or alarming 1t is merely
because my study of the planets
has revealed certain results with
mathematical certainty, that ]
now say to you:
''Be warned in advance. Ire
mendous things are going to hap
pen from December IL to Deem
Der 20, 1919. and afterward."
Here are the simple, yet as
founding facts that enable me to
make this prophecy:
The planets in their orbits
swing in great elipses about the
sun. They are linked to the sun,
and to each other, by chains of
electromagnetic energy whose
compelling forces counterfeit each
other and hold each planet in its
regular path.
Whenever two planets wheel in
to such position that they pull
together on the sun either in
Conjunction" on the same side of
the sun, or in Opposition" with
the sun between them-their unit
ed pull causes the suns gases to
explode ITO leap out into space
in the whirling 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
to cause small sunspot and a |
small storm. Three cause a larg-
er one-four make very great
storm indeed.
But-on December II, 1919, no
less than seven planets will pull
jointly on the sun. These will in
clude all the mightiest planets
those with the most powerful pull. |
Six of them-Mercury, Mars,
Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Nep-
tune-will be in conjunction
grouped together in the greatest
league of planets" ever known
in the annals of astronomy.
They will be massed in the mar
row limit of but 26 degrees, on
the same side of the sun.
Directly opposite. coming into
opposition with this gigantic lea
que, will be the huge planet Uran-
us. The magnetic currents be-
tween Uranus and the six planets
will pierce the sun like a mighty
spear.
Our earth is outside the league
at an angle of nearly 80 degrees
in perfect position to receive al
most the full force Of the monster
disturbance as it leaps
into activity on what, to us, will
be the eastern horizon Of the sun s
disk.
This means we shall get the full
strength Of the storm when the
,un-spot is at its worst, before the
gases have had time to
lie down.
Such close grouping of planets
las never been recorded before.
The whole solar system will be
out of balance. Il
What will be the outcome? MyI
