CATACLYSM IS
* PREDICTED FOR
' DECEMBER NEXT
Owing to a 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 catyclysm experi
enced since human history began, ac
cording to Professor Alberta F. Porta,
* who has the following to say:
It will be caused by the hugest sun
spot on record— sun spot that will be
visible to the naked eye.
Since men first began to make rec'
ords of events no sun spot has been
large enough to be seen without the
aid of instruments. This one will be.
The sun spot that will appear Dec.
17, 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 as Vesuvius might en
gulf a football.
Such a sun spot will be rich enough
in electro-magnetic energy to fling the
atmosphere of our planet into a dis
turbance without precedent or paral
lel.
There will also be gigantic lava
eruptions, great earthquakes, to say
nothing of floods and fearful cold.
1 make this startling prophecy with
no desire to be merely sensational or
alarming. It is merely because my
^ study of the planets has revealed cer
tain results with mathematical cer
tainty that I say to you:
“Be warned in advance. Tremen
dous things are going to happen from
* December 17 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 ellipses about the sun. They
are linked to the sun, and to each
other, by chains of electro-magnetic
energy whose compelling forces coun
teract each other and hold each planet
in its regular path.
Whenever two planets wheel into
\such positions that they pull together
with the sun—either in “conjunction”
to the same side of the sun or in
^position” with the sun,’ or in “op
pose Sm” with the sun between them,
( their united pull causes the sun’s gases
to “explode”—to leap out into space
in the whirling volcano we call a sun
spot.
These sun spots in turn cause
storms in the atmosphere of our earth
—doubtless on other planets as well.
Two planets, united, are enough to
cause a small sun spot and a small
storm. Three cause a larger one—
four make a very great storm indeed.
But on December 17, 1919, no less
than seven planets will pull jointly
on the sun. These will include all
the mightiest planets, those with the
most powerful pull.
Six of them—Mercury, Mars. Venus,
Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune—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 narrow
limit of but 26 degrees, on the same
side of the sun.
Directly opposite, coming into oppo
sition with this gigantic league, will
be the huge planet Uranus. The mag
netic currents between Uranus and the
six nlanets will pierce the sun like a
mighty spear.
Our earth is outside the league at
an angle of nearly ninety degrees—in
perfect position to receive almost the
^ full force of the monster electrical
disturbance as it leaps into activity
on what to us will be the eastern hori
zon of the sun’s disk.
This means that we shall get the
full strength of the storm when the
sun spot is at its worst, before the ex
ploding gases have had time to dio
down.
Such a close grouping of planets has
never been recorded before. The
whole solar system will be strangely
out of balance.
What will be the outcome? My
knowledge does not permit me to state,
beyond the fact that the storms, erup
tions and earthquakes will be tremen
dous in their strength and scope.
Remember the date—December 17
to 20 and after.
