Forecasts Halt In Dry Weather Captain See Says World To Have No More Droughts For Seven Years San Francisco, April .?No more droughts in the wond for seven years was the prediction here of Captain T. J. J. See, retired United States Navy astronomer. Even recent dust storms in the middle west were regarded as a good omen by the astronomer, who for 36 years has been engaged in studies of climatic cycles, which he attributes to variations in the sun's radiation. The drought period throughout the world ended in August, 1934, Captain See declared in a written report. He viewed the dust storms as evidence that winds which bring rain to the earth lt3CXX3t*3tit3<*M3C3t3t3t)|tg tedjt.. . o l!| WEATHER MAN! I!

II i ! , NORTH CAROLINA had returned. i "The rain cycle, which will last < seven years," Captain See said, "began in the latter part of 1934 and has now largely relieved the i suffering from years of drought1' in every continent of the globe." ' He declared the "rain cycle" will correspond in general with the increase of sun spots recently! noted by various astronomers. "The sun has been too hot [ since 1930," the veteran navy as-1: tronomer and mathematician as- j serted, "with maximum heat in 1933-34, when the sun spots almost disappeared." He asserted the returning spots would cool the sun and storms on earth would follow. Floods in various parts of the world, typhoons some months ago in the vicinity of the Philippine Islands and heavy storms at sea were pointed to by the astronomer as further supporting his prediction. Captain See said that during drought periods the sun has a widely expanded corona, under super heat incident to the absence of darkening spots.
