MOVEMENTS OF TIDE. 



Where there is planetary obstruction it also tends 

 to vary the time and flow of tides. Planets tending 

 to obstruct the power of the sun in buoying the water 

 away or onward, and in consequence the waters tend 

 to flow in opposite directions. 



Where the planetary obstruction is sufficient to 

 entirely deprive the sun of buoying onward the waters, 

 then the waters tend to fall toward the sun, owing 

 to the lack of a lifting power to detain the waters in 

 place. 



Sun spots tend to cause the waters to move toward 

 the sun, owing to the rays of the sun being deterred by 

 the obstructing spots on the buoyant power that tends 

 to lift the waters. 



Taken all around, the tides tend to prove the 

 power of the sun in lifting or dispersing of matter as 

 in all other properties where its power becomes mani- 

 fest. The tides also tend to show that cold aids in the 

 process of carrying on the movements of the tides and 

 also carry the earth around on its axis. 



The back flow also tending to, in part, delay the 

 tides in the following twenty-four hours. The 

 back flow necessitating a certain period of time to 

 cover the given distance before it would come to rest. 

 And in consequence the delay in the lift twenty-four 

 hours later in overcoming the moving force in the op- 

 posing direction.
