Owing to a strange grouping of six |
mighty planets, such as has no: been |
seen in a score of centuries, the
United States next December will be
swept by the most terr'Gc weather
cataclysm experienced siace history
began.
It VII be caused by the biggest
sunspot on record--a sunspot that
will be visible to the naked cyc.
Since we first began to make rec
ords Of events no suuspct has been
large enough to be seen without the
aid of instruments. This nnc will
be.
The sunspot will appear december
II, 1919, and will be vast wound in
the side of the sun.
It will be a gigantic explosion OF
flaming gases, leaping hundreds of
,; thousands of miles into space. 1t will
have crater large enough TO engu]f
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 q
disturbance without precedent or
parallel.
There will be hurricanes, lightning,
colossal rains.
j 1t will be weeks before the earth
will regain its normal weather con-
, ditions.
, There will also he gigantic lava
eruptions, great earthquakes, to say
nothing of floods and fearful cold.
make this startling prophecy with
no desire to be merely sensational or
alarming. It is because my study Of
the planets has revealed certain re-
suits with mathematical study that
I now say to you:
"Be warned in advance. Tremen-
dous things are going to happen from
December II to December 20, 1919,
:. and afterwards.
Here are the simple yet astounding
facts that enable me to make this
prophecy:
The planets in their orbits swing
in great elipses about the sun, and
to each other by chains Of electro
, magnetic energy, whose compelling
forces counteract each other and hold
each other in it's regular path.
Whenever two planets wheel into
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 united pull causes the
suns gases to "explode" leap Out
- into the space in the whirling vol.
:. cano we call sunspot.
These sunspots in turn cause
storms in the atmosphere Of earth
doubtless other planets as well.
- Two planets, united, are enough tt
cause small sunspot and small
- storm. Three cause larger one
four make a very great storm in
deed.
But, on December IT, 1919, Their
will be no less than seven planets
which will include all the mighties
planets-those with the most power
full pull.
Six of them-Mercury, Mars, Venus
Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune--will b
in conjunction grouped together i
the greatest league of planets eve
known in the annals of astronomy
They will be massed in the narroN
limit of but 20 degrees, on the sam
side of the sun.
Directly opposite, coming into or
position with this gigantic leagu
will be the planet Uranus. The mag
netic currents between Uranus an
six planets will pierce the sun like
mighty spear. |:
Our earth is outside the league o
at angle Of nearly 80 degrees, in pei
feet position to receive almost tn
full force Of the monster electrica
disturbance as 1t leaps into activit
en- what, to us, will be the easter
horizon on the suns disc.
This means that we shall get tn
40 full strength Of the storm when til
he sunspot is at its worst, before til
is exploding gases have had time to d.
p down.
a. Such close grouping Of planet
nj has never been recorded before. TT
hit whole solar system will be strangel
ep out of balance.
