CHAPTER VIII 



I ACCEPT that, when there are storms, the dam-dest of excluded, 

 excommunicated things things that are leprous to the faithful 

 are brought down from the Super-Sargasso Sea or from what 

 for convenience we call the Super-Sargasso Sea which by no means 

 has been taken into full acceptance yet. 



That things are brought down by storms, just as, from the depths 

 of the sea things are brought up by storms. To be sure it is 

 orthodoxy that storms have little, if any, effect, below the waves 

 of the ocean but of course only to have an opinion is to be ig- 

 norant of, or to disregard a contradiction, or something else that 

 modifies an opinion out of distinguishability. 



Symon's Meteorological Magazine, 47-180: 



That, along the coast of New Zealand, in regions not subject to 

 submarine volcanic action, deep-sea fishes are often brought up by 

 storms. 



Iron and stones that fall from the sky; and atmospheric dis- 

 turbances: 



"There is absolutely no connection between the two phenomena.'* 

 (Symons.) 



The orthodox belief is that objects moving at planetary velocity 

 would, upon entering this earth's atmosphere, be virtually unaffected 

 by hurricanes; might as well think of a bullet swerved by some one 

 fanning himself. The only trouble with the orthodox reasoning is the 

 usual trouble its phantom-dominant its basing upon a myth 

 clata we've had, and more we'll have, of things in the sky having 

 no independent velocity. 



There are so many storms and so many meteors and meteorites 

 that it would be extraordinary if there were no concurrences. Nev- 

 ertheless so many of these concurrences are listed by Prof. Baden- 

 Powell (Kept. Brit. Assoc., 1850-54) that one notices. 



See Kept. Brit. Assoc., 1860 other instances. 



The famous fall of stones at Siena, Italy, 1794 "in a violent 

 storm." 



See Greg's Catalogues many instances. One that stands out
