Refuting the declaration of Dr. Al-

that great disturbances in the heavens

Dr. Porta claimed that because of
the eclipse of certain planets, floods,
earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions

necessarily close to each other and
there is absolutely no foundation for
what Dr. Porta says."

from an auithoritative'book on astron-

"Superstition,"' said Professor Hus-

persons who have no knowledge of
science, and no more alarm should
be felt at this time than when a
