...Hurons, whom the Iroquois had vowed to exterminate. The cruelties and hardships to which they submitted were rewarded by canonization last June, the two requisite miracles for that purpose having been duly accepted by the Congregation of Sacred Rites. One was the perfect and instantaneous cure of Sister Marie-Maxima of the religious House of St. Hyacinth, in Quebec; the other, the equally perfect and instantaneous cure of Sister Savoie of the diocese of Chatham (Canada). Both Sisters were suffering from tubercular peritonitis. The cures were effected by the invocation of the martyrs, thus investing their relics with added sanctity...
...martyrs for canonization, is reticent on this point in his book, but last week the Vatican supplied a clear description. The miracles were performed in virtue of the martyrs collectively less than four years ago. They took the form of cures. The first miracle was that Sister Marie-Maxima of a religious House of St. Hyacinth in Quebec recovered "perfectly and instantaneously" on Dec. 30, 1927, from a prolonged attack of tubercular peritonitis. Second miracle was that Sister Savoie of the diocese of Chatham (Canada) had on July 9, 1926, a cure, also perfecta et instantanea, of prolonged tubercular peritonitis...
...study of the graphs further shows that a rather definite fifteen month period in solar activity exists as exhibited by both spots and radio reception. This is one of the outstanding results of the investigation to date. Each of these sunspot sub-maxima have indicated increasing solar activity and it does not yet appear possible to state that we have reached the real maximum of the sunspot cycle until the sun peak of 1929 is reached and passed. The intensity of that peak will doubtless decide whether or not the maximum of the present sunspot cycle is reached...
...view of the fifteen months period of maxima and minima which appears to be definitely located both in the sunspot and radio curve, we may look for another maximum of solar activity in September or October...
...wild theories of their relation to terrestrial conditions have been advanced. They do seem to be of a magnetic nature and to produce electrical and atmospheric disturbances on the earth at certain periods. Professor Tchijewsky, a Russian scientist, has recently come out with a theory that at sun spot maxima, worldly affairs are excited and wars, revolutions, migrations, etc.. break out. He thinks he has traced definite cycles of such historical events in the 19th Century paralleling the sun spots. The purely fantastic character of this conjecture is obvious; the problem of the physical influence of the spots...
