w Alton P Royal, one of the
| operators at the power house, saw
| two sun-spots on the suns face Sat
! urday morning 1t was cold morn
| ing and the river mists were heavy,
so that when the sun had risen above
| the horizon it was clearly silhouetted
| through the fog. Mr.. Royal could
| plainly see two spots, one on the
| upper left and another on the lower
| right surface of the sun. Others
were able to see them through old
Photographic plates. There are sew
eral theories to account for these
!
the one generally accepted being
that they are caused by stupendous
eruptions They have been said to
| portend certain weather changes on
the earth, and the more superstitious
have looked upon them as omens of
war or of great disaster
