PREDICTED TREMENDOUS
THINGS TO HAPPEN IN THE
UNITED STATES DEC. 17
That the earth will reel under the
shock of a mighty convulsion in the
sun Induced by the most remarkable
grouping of collossal planetary bodies
known to astronomy; and will
be swept t>y a terrific weather
cataclysm during the period
from December 17th to December 2d
and possibly beyond, is the startling
prophecy made by Professor Albert F.
Porta, the widely noted forecaster of
sunspots and the discoverer of the
strange influence exerted by solar dis
turbances on the terrestrial sphere
Professor Porta's remarkable predic
tion is based upon an unparalleled
solar situation In which six of the
mightest planets intour solar system
will be grouped together within the
narrow limit of 26 degrees on one side
of the sun on December 17 in what is
known to astronomers as a "planetary
conjunction:" while on the opposite
side of the solar orb the giant planet
Uranus. one of the largest of out solar
system, will be in opposition to the
mighty planetary grouping. The
magnetic currents running between the
grouped planets on one s«de of the sun
and Uranus on the other will, accord
ing to Prof. Porta, pierce the sun like
a gigantic arrow and etttse a tremend- 1
ous explosion on the flaming globe.
The solar upheaval will result in the
development of a huge crater which
will be visible to the naked eye as a
mighty spot on the sjn. This solar
volcano will shoot flaming gases hun
dreds of thousands of miles into space
and so disturb the celestial ether that
the earth’s atmosphere will probably
be thrown into violen convulsion and
produce what Prof. Porta terms "the
most terrific weethe* cataclysm ex
perienced since human history began.”
The influence of s tnspots on the
earth’s atmospheric conditions has
been conclusively demonstrated by
vovpr-ii scientific investigators, hence
Pro/. Porta’s p^edlcttofl is founded on
a basis of scivltiflc fqtet which in caus
ing it to attract wide at tort ion in the
Outside world*. Many impoitant maga
zines and newspapers fca’e devoted
considerable space to the prophecy In
recent weeks and it is rom one of
these, the St. Paul Dniy News, we
reprint the following statement by
Prof. Porta himself.
Whether or not this unprecedented
planetary situation is tecause the ef
feets on thi« mundane sphere indicated
by Prof. Porta, romahs to be seen
The tremendous influence exerted by
solar disturbances is «o well demon
strated. however, th:t the predicted
convulsion in the sun may be expect- |
ed to produce at least some atmos- |
pheric disturbances ovr the earth. In
any event it. will be wse, gentle reader. !
to sit tight and hold onto your hat
about December 17. Prof. Porta’s
prediction follows:
Owing to a strangt grouping of six
mighty planets, such as has not been
seen in a score of centuries, the
United States next “lecember will be
swept by the most terrific weather
cataclysm experienced since human
history began.
It will be caused by the hugest
sunspot on record—A sunspot that
will be visible to the naked eye.
Since man first began to make
records of events no sunspot has been
large enough to be seen without the'
aid of instruments. This one will be. ,
The sunspot that will appear De- I
member 17, 1919. will be a vast wound *
in the side of the sun.
It will be a gigantic explosion of 1
ftaminK gases, leaping hundreds of '
thousands of miles out into space. '
It will have a crater large enough to
engulf the earth much as Vesuvius 1
might engulf a football. f
Such a sunspot will he rich enough f
in electro-magnetic energy to fling ’
the atmosphere of our planet into a *
disturbance without precedent or
parallel.
There will he hurricanes, lightning,
i oliossal rains.
it will be weeks before the earth 1
will regain its normal weather con
ditions.
There will also he gigantic lava I
erruptions. great earthquakes, to say I
nothing of floods and fearful cold.
I make this startling prophecy with
no desire to In- merely sensational or
alarming. It is merely because my
study of the planets has revealed i
certain results with mathematical |
“Pe warned in advance. Tremen- I
dous things are going to happen
from December 17 to December 20, 1919. i
.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 tlie sun. They
are linked to the sun. and to each
other. 1#\ chains of electro-magnetic
energy whose compelling forces coun
in its regular path.
Whenever two planets wheel into
such positions 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
sun's gases to “explode"—to leap out
i"’" snnee in the whirling volcano we
call a sunspot. * "f
These sunspots in turn cause storms
in the atmosphere of our earth—
doubtless on other planets as well.
Two planets, united are enough t"
cause a small sunspot and a small
storm. Three cause a large one—
four make a vc-ry great storm indeed.
Put—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 mos*
powerful pull.
S.x of them—Mercury, liars. Vena?, .
Jupiter. Saturn and Neptune—will he
in conjunction: grouped together in ,
the greatest "league of Planets” evet
known in the annals of astronomy.
They will be massed in the narrow
limit of hut 26 degrees, on the same
side of the sun.
Directly opposite, coming into op- ,
position with this gigantic league,
will he the huge planet Uranus. The :
magnetic currents between Uranus |
and the six planets will pierce the Sun
like a mighty spear.
Our earth is outside tbe league at
an angle of nearly 90 degiees—in per
fect 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
horizon of the sun’s disk.
This means we shall jet the full
strength of the storm when the sun
spot is at its worst, before the ex

Such a close grouping: of planets
has never been recorded before. The
whole solar system will be strangely
out of balance.
What will be tlie outcome ? My
knowledge does not permit me to
state, beyond the fact that the
storms, eruptions and earthquakes
will be tremendous in their strength
and scope.
