GOV’T ASTRONOMER SAYS ENTIRE
SOLAR SYSTEM IS INHABITED
SAN FRANCISCO, (By mail)—Prof.
T. J. J. See, government astronomer
at Mare Island, CaJ., who lectured re
cently at the Academy of Science on
tiis recent discoveries regarding the
cause of magnetism, the moon’s mo
tion and the theory of gravitation, ex
gjlained why he believes all of the
other solar bodies are inhabited.
Ihotf. See explained the same con
ditions apply on the other bodies—ex
cepting the moon and the sun—las
apply on this earth, it is only re;tson
abie to assume that there is life on
the other bodies,
The sun being a molten mass, there
is no life on it, and the moon being
without atmosphere .there is no life
on the moon.
The astronomer explained that the
researches of centuries and of the
world’s greatest scientists have never
revealed the center of the universe.
Therefore no ideas of the magnitude
of the universe ever has been estab-'
liehed.
Scientists have been able to project
their researches into immeasurable
space, he said, but never have reached
•the center of the universe. The dis
tance science has reached in its re
searches is so vast, he explained, that
it would require 2.000.000 years for a
ray of light to travel from the outer
bourne and reach the earth.
Prof. See’s theory of the cause oi
magnetism, electrodynamic action and
universal gravitation as explained in
his lecture aroused deep interest. A
large audience attended.
His theory' of gravitation upsets that
of Nowton, discovered when the ap
ple fell from the tree. Prof. See’s
theory is that the law of gravity is
not confined to parallel action, but
may run horizontally, or in haphazard

waves.
r He illustrated how the rotations oc
- cur in, the waves emitted by magnets,
t If another magnet with opposite poles
s is brought near, he showed that the
- rotation tn the waves tend to undo
- each other, so that the aether between
: them, contracts like a mass of stretch
ed India rubber and the bodies are thus
- drawn together by attraction.
When "like poles” are presented, he
> showed rotation of the waves cause
- the aether to expand, and the in:ignets
i are pushed apart as if by expansion
of compressed India rubber- between
s them.
J I l’rof. See declares his theory ex
e plains magnetism and thus one of the
most notable advances since the time
e of Gilbert, 1600, is made,
e He then launched into an expluna
r tion of gravitation, which he explained
. i J: so by waves, as in megr.ietlsm.
e Gravitation waves are inclined hap
.• hazard at all angles, he said. Mag
nets have two poles, he said, but in
(. heavenly bodies the haphazard arrang
e rnent emitted by the atoms gives only
j a central attraction, called gravitation.
Gravitation is exerted across space
with the velocity of light, and not in
t stantaneously, as assujmed by astrotn
a omers since the time of Newton.

Prof. See showed how the waves
from two heavenly bodies, such os the
sun and earth, interlock, and by this
actio n, cause the aether between the
two to contract, thus drawing them
together by force exerted in straight
lines, and holding them firmly in place.
It would take all the breaking strength
of a solid steel column. 400 miles la di

would have to be attached to each

globe, he said.
The moon’s fluctuations, he explain
ed iby the theory that the electro-dy
namic waves from the sun, ip. passing
through the earth's solid mass, art
refracted to one side, dispersed am
perhaps somewhat absorbed, the re
srult is a decrease in the sun’s at
traction on the moon, when it is nesu
the shadow of the earth. The moon
thus tends to fly the tangent near the
times of eclipses and the resulting
disturbances involved periods of eight
teen years, 61.7 years and 277.59 years.
Proif. See’s discoveries perfect the
lunar theory, the original investigation
of which was begun by the Greek,
Hlpporeihus, about 140 B. C.
