Ottawa, Mnrch 12.- The following in Wj'Kg'n' theory promised after the norm: jnid titorin has satiitled me that the theory of the opjtosite tide.which I bdvauctd in 1804, in cbrrect, namely: That it is caused by the vibratory motion of the ocean from east to west. I know to an absolute fact that the hour at which local storms will arise at different points on the earth's surface; also when a cold period like that of January junt passed is to occur; when remarkable floods will will take place and when winters will be distinguished for grat quantities of snow can be predicted for anv length of time in advance. Ho then gives u loa confabulation on planetary conjunctions and moon's phases, aud Huys the time will come within a thousand year when the whale American coast will be put under water by a tidal wave, and should Venus and Mercury at that momcut be at interior conjuctions and Jupiter, Mars and Saturn at wuprrior conductions, breakers will roar in the streets of New York, and Florida will be no more.
