PREDICTED 192/ TD BE
YEAR OF I SUMMER
traced influence of cycles
BACK TO PHARAOH FAMINE
1700 B. C.
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 8 (IP)—
Herbert Janvrin Browne, ocean me
teorologist and long range weather
forecaster, points out, in a statement
written for the press, that the wea
ther thus far in 1927 bears out the
forecasts which he made as long ago
as 1923. The statement contains the
text of the forecasts, and is followed
by a review of weather conditions,
in all parts of the world, since last
fall, when the abnormal period set in.
This is to be, according to Mr.
Browne, “a year without a summer,”
like 1816, and the underlying cause
is the sun spots which control the
radiation of the sun’s heat. The spots
recur at regular intervals of slightly
more than eleven years, and 1927 is
a multiple of these intervals since
1816.
“ I have traced the influence of
these cycles,” he says, “not only
back to the famine of Diocletian, 300
A. I)., but back to the famine of Pha
raoh, about 1700 B. C. Their effects
will vary through more or less per
fect or imperfect conjunctions with
other causations, but they are always
pointers to adverse weather and crop
i i conditions as far back as historv
i furnishes records of weather catas
i
i trophes.”
1 The, sun’s radiation determines the
!
J temperature of ocean water, which,
because of its saltness, Mr. Browne
says, absorbs and retains heat. The
ocean currents have more to do with
i terrestrial weather than anything
else, although secondary causes are
found on the land surfaces.
One of the best known cycles in
, | solar radiation is the sun-spot cycle,
averaging slightly over eleven years.
Five of these periods, amounting to
i ! 55.8 years, run coincidentally with
i three lunar-solar periods of 18.6 years.
i In other words, every 55.S years there
•is a return of coincidence of the
J I lunar- solar and sun-spot cycle, ex
ercising a profound and measurable
J, influence on oceanic conditions and
on the weather of the world. One of
i these took place in 1816; the second
i one from 1816 is due this year, and
i is already in operation.”
It is interesting to note that Dr.
J j C. G. Abbott, assistant secretary of
1 : the Smithsonian Institution, enter
" tains views respecting long range
i weather forecasting that are some
what similar to those of Mr. Browne.
( j Dr. Abbott is a scientist op world
I wide reputation. At his request,
i I Congress has established a third ob
I j
i servatorv for the measurement of
solar radiation. It is on the east
coast of Africa. Of the two others,
one is in Arizona and the other atop
of the Andes, in Peru
WHAT LUTHERAN TEACH
SIN
Lutherans teach that eVery word,
thought, and deed contrary to God’s
Law is sin; that every human being
is a sinner by birth; that all evil in
the world is the consequence of
man’s sinning; and that sin is whol
ly damnable.
