...paragraph headed "Outstanding Events," Dr. Abbot did not fail to give prominent mention in last week's report to his studies of solar radiation and terrestrial weather. Long and laborious research has convinced him that world weather tends to repeat itself in 23-year cycles, which he finds not only in longtime weather records but in tree rings, Great Lakes water levels, sediment laid down by ancient glaciers, annual catches of cod and mackerel. Temperature and precipitation forecasts for 1934 in 30 U. S. cities made on the basis of the Abbot cycle turned out, he declared, two-thirds...

They are well on their way towards ironing...
