THE EARTHQUAKE IN CHILI.
MR WRAGGE'S PREDICTIONS.
Received August 23, 8.50 a.m. PERTH, Auguat 23. Mr Clement Wragge says the earthquake in South America is a sign that the solar maximum is closing, and that the minimum is gradually approaohing when pronounced seismic aotion will be transferred to the Southern Hemisphere, with a deolining rainfall. Such action is due to etherio waves set up by the solar conditions, which oontrol the earth's inherent forces, and emanate] from particular raerMians of the sun. More earthquakes, according to Mr Wragge, may be expected, especially south from the Equator, during the next few years. New Zealand should take reasonable precautions. Mounts Erebus and Terror will probably be fn eruption later on, but South-west Australia has no cause for alarm. Reoeived Auguat 23, 10,7 p.m. LONDON, August 23. Earthquake shocks have been experienced at Calabria, (South-west Italy), and Upper Silesia.
