ltaking the side of the question politica'ly; |

jwhen the Conservatives, who had the ‘majority, saw the dodge, they embraced the favorable opportunity of expressing their political views.

Mr. E. Turner, Sr., remarked that as we were a favored people, and our good Gov-

he would move for a big supplement-~ carried.

Jas. Matheson, Big Hill, said that our present Government, he thought, was the best that ever ruled this Pfovince since the days of the lamented Mr. E. Whelan; and

as they have kept us from paying any taxes when building our new schoolhouse.

it with ours. He thought that there} ought to be a clause in our Education Act | compelling a teacher to keep Sunday School, as was the case in Pasely.

Mr. Theodore Morson, Chairman of the meeting, said that he was extremely sorry to see the meeting taking such a change of a sudden; but his advice would be to them

all to support the present Government, as they have done so nobly towards the coun- try, and kept the affairs of the ship of state so economically, as they are doing. E. Turner moved that every Saturday be granted to the teacher—Miss Janet Ander- son—after which James Euman said that, since he had lost the use of his eyesight, he could not read much about the doings of our Government; but he had a good mem- ory, and their policies he endorsed. He quoted some choice quotations, and recited a splendid and well composed peice he said he had made in prais> of our Local Government. A motion was made by K. Turner that the proceedings of this meeting be pub- lished in THe Examiner, (the Grits pre- ferring the Patriot), carried in favor of Tar Examinkex. After which Mr. Enman sang Auld Lang Syne, and with three cheers for the SullivanfGovernment, the meeting dis- persed. Bit. Jones, Reporter.

Upton, June 17th, 1884. The Dark Moon.

(Montreal Herald. )

The new theory which Professor E. Stone Wiggins propounds in our columns to-day, in regard to the number of satellites possessed by the earth, will probably make as great a sensation in scientific circles as those predictions of great storms which fill- ed the papers a few months ago. The Pro- fessor is of the opinion that the moon which is seen by men and which has form- ed a theme for lovers and poets in all ages, is not alone in the starry Heavens, but possesses a fellow, a dark brother or sister, which we do not see, but which exerts a sensible influence upon the earth and, we may presume also, upon all that the earth contains. Weneed not say what an inter- esting field for inquiry this suggestion opens up, or how it may serve to account for many things which would be otherwise wholly mysterious in the economy of nature. When a man dves some act for which we cannot account in any other way, we may put it down to the influence of the “dark moon,” which has proved too potent tu be resisted. The ‘‘dark moon” seems to have been more powerful than usual of late, judging from the various untoward events which have taken place during the past few months. We may be sure that the failure of Grant, Ward & Co., and the ruin of their numerous dupes was a case in which the ‘‘dark moon” had a finger in the pie. Mr. Wiggins has no faith in Mr. Proctor’s theory that the moon is a dead planet. On the contrary, he gives it the credit for being about the most lively orb in the universe, a conclusion with which most of those who have a taste for moon gazing will agree. As for the ‘‘dark moon,” Professor Wiggins has not yet been able to obtain a sight of it, but he is quite certain it is there, and when found he will, no doubt, ‘‘make a note” of the fact and for- ward it to the Herald. In the meantime our readers can keep a look out for that shady orb on their own account.

WIGGIN’S DARK MOON—THE EARTH ATTEND- ED BY TWO SATELLITES. Mr. Wiggins propounds his theory in the following letter:—

After a few intro- |

ernment exempted us from any taxation, |

he wished them a long reign and prospericy, |

cation Acts of other countries, and mixing |

This earth quake, 1 predicted, would return on the 20th May. It returned the very day I named, destroyed twenty villages and killed several hundred persons. On that day also occurred the destructive cyclone in british Burmah, The earthquake, how- did not reappear in Kogland, and | jam convinced it was moved eastward by the influence and changed position of this dark pianet. The recent cold wave which passed over America must have been due to this source, and as nearly the same con- jditions will existon the 26th and 27th of ithe present month the same cold wave |would reappear were it not for the changed relationship of this dark horse of the ‘heavens.

|; All great storms should occur after icertain planetary conjunctions, whereas bers frequently precede them, and it is for this reason that most meteorologists, among them Sir William Thompson, have denied oo the moon has any influence whatever in producing storms ou the surface of our globe. Years before I published predictions | found that some of my storms would be delayed for several days, others would

ever,

al J. som Geis lentes ohio wR ea jappear ahead of time and frequently the said that all honor should be done to Hon.) aviest would be annihilated altogether.

There is no known planet that could possibly produce this effect, and I was at length forced to conclude, as 1 have said, that our earth is accompanied by a dark and invisi- ble satellite. It would further appear that the ‘‘dark days” of which frequent mention

‘is made in history—so named because they

could not be the result of an ordinary solar eclipse—were of such a characier as_ to justify the belief that they were caused by an opaque body intervening between the sun and our globe, for the suddenness and brevity of the darkness could not be in- terpreted as due tc smoke or vapor in our earth’s atmosphere.

Iam confident that this dark planet was in its inferior conjunction, or nearly so, on the 9th March, 1883, and aided in pro- ducing the eruption of the great Java voleano which followed our moon’s con- junction with the sun on that day and caused the storm which I predicted would be—and the London Times says it was the the greatest storm of the present century On the 26th March, 1884, this planet was in the neighborhood of her conjunctions and heightened the intensity of the storm on the 28th of that month. Strange to add, L am just in receipt of a letter from Michi- gan saying thata solar eclipse was visible in that State on May 16th, 1884, at 7 o'clock in the evening when fully one-third of the solar dise was in darkness. moon at that moment was twelve degrees south of the celestial equator, and the sun was as many degrees north of it, an ordinary solar eclipse was an impossibility. Doubt less it was the passage of this dark planet across the sun’s disc.

I have little sympathy with Professor Proctor and others of his school, who per- sist in declaring that the moon is a dead planet and is not possessed of an at- mosphere. Anyone who will take the trouble to look when in her quadrature will see on a clear night with the naked eye the whole luminous annulus, or ring of light which surrounds her orb. which is proof, positive and complete, of the exist- ence of a lunar atmosphere. Long ago the same arguments were made by Dr. Dick and others, to prove that no atmosphere attends Jupiter, or any of the primaries, while the very fact that they are visible is evidence that they possess an atmosphere similar tu that of our own sphere; for surely no one is now antique enough to suppose that light exists throughout space, but only in the atmosphere of the planets. The non-existence of a second satellite to the earth is, therefore, not proved because of her iuvisibility. As its position can only be learned by observing the sudden quenching of stars, | trust astronomers in America and Europe will aid in ascertaining the magnitude and motions of this lonely wanderer in the stellar heavens.

Buried Alive.

A young officer returned from China related, apropos of burying alive, the fol lowing experience: ‘‘On our passage home,” he said, ‘‘we had in the transport beside our own troops a large draft of French soldiers. Disease soon broke out among the closely packed men and deaths were of daily occurence. As soon a8 a poor fellow had breathed his last he was stripped, a twenty-pound shot tied to his heels, and his body thrust through a port-hole into the sea. John Bull’s prejudices rebelled against such rapid pro- ceedings. When we lost any of our com- rades they were allowed to lie for twelve hours covered with the Union-jack, and the burial service was read over them be- fore they were committed to the deep. One day a French sergeant who had just fallen a victim to the pestilence, was brought up on deck in the sheet in which

For many years it has been my belief that our planet has two satellites, a visible

from the earth being about double that of the former. The librations of the moon, the irregularity of her motion in her orbit and her perigee seldom occurring on our orbit and immediately in advance of our planet, are strong evidence of the disturb- ing influence of a sister satellite. The variations in the time and height of the tides, occasional and successive tides of ex- cessive volume, without apparent cause, and the frequency of double tides, cannot be explained on the hypothesis that our earth is attended but by a single secondary. Earthquakes, which are caused by unusual planetary attraction, frequently happen when it would appear that the force which produced them had not reached its maxi- mum, that is, at the moon’s inferior con- junction with the sun. The recent earth-) quake in England (April 22) occurred two | days before the moon was in conjunction with the solar orb and b.fore she was in perigee, showing that her attractive power must have joined with another and very nearly pi force before she reached the

he had died, to be thrown overboard. The

and a dark one, the distance of the laiter|twenty-pound shot had been fastened to his

feet, and the sheet removed, when, in pushing him through the porthole, he was caught by a protruding hook or nail at the side, and stuck fast A few more vigorous thrusts sent the body further through ; and in so doing the flesh was torn by the |hook, and blood began to flow, The atten- tion of the bystanders was attracted to this, }and, moreover, they fancied that they saw about the corpse other startling symptoms, ‘The man’s alive! flew from mouth to mouth. In an instant willing hands were presaing eagerly to the rescue, and before the body could touch the water it was caught and brought upon deck The French sergeant was one of the soundest men on board the transport ship when we landed.” —Chambers’ Journal.
