At Christ. mas last year Prof, Belar wrote a letter in which he gave the dates in each month of 1929 in which Sarthe (Shotke might © be ex- pactnd \ a forecast has ao far Surpraiagly correct, For May he gave four dates, underlining the HH to indicate the highest prob. ability that a very severe earth. quake would take place on that date. That was the date of the earthquake in Trebizond, Asta Mi- nor, with its heavy death toll and destruction, Another date apeci- fled by Prof, Belar in hia forecast was March 7, on which a temblor was felt at Duteh Harbor, Alaska.

The management claims that ia no other way can the beauties of the river and of Peraia be fully appre- ciated, The view of the serpen. tine river at the time the "hind of the morning" struggles to break through, is unusual, As the sun fnally bursts forth in all its glory, the atream takes on more and more the appearance of a snake, twisting and writhing, its akin a dazsling metal. A splendid view of the Dead Sea is also obtainadle, The trip by air takes eight hours, compared with 40 days of travel by Bowmanville News, advertising and subscriptions will be recvived at the Bowmanville Office of The Times.
