Horace Johnson Tolls-About ThIt c111-
cuI Day Halo III Arrowor to the
Post's inquiry.
When curiosity last Wednesday was
at foyer heat concerning the unheard
of rainbow, or halo, around the sun.
The Bridgeport Post took evry possi-
ble means to relieve the public mind.
it communicated with the Yale obser-
vatory and also - telegraphed Horace
Johnson, the-sage of Middle Haddam,
who is supposed to know about every-
thing.
Mr. Johnson was away from home
at the time, but yesterday The Post re-
ceived a letter from him, in which he
diagnoses the phenomenon and also
tacks on a sinister prophecy. This is
the toilet:
Horace Johnoon'a Letter.
Middle Huddam, June 14, 1906.
To The Bridgeport Post:
in reply to telegram will say the
cause of a halo which appeared to sur-
round the sun the 13th is very simple.
it was not within many million of
miles of the sun. The atmosphere
was peculiar during the day as there
was a great amount of light moisture
floating at a1 great distance over the
earth. . The air on the earth's surface
was extremely dense which caused the
rariiled ab to become very this As a
result it condensed many miles above
the surface of the earth. Vaporlzation
took place which caused a very thin
fog in the atmosphere through which
the rays of the sun penetrated making
what seemed to be :1 halo through
which the sun light reached the earth;
from a locomotive sending its rays in-
to a log. bank.
Yours in the interest of the science
of metcoIology.
HORACE JOHNSON.
‘ N. B.~—'l‘hore is a great amount of
moisture hanging over the earth.
When the air becmnes rariiletl on the
surface the vapor will descend. Look
tor startling confusion from the 20111
to the 23rd. Yours,

Called “Blizzard" Johnson.
Horace Johnson. known as "the
prophet of ‘Middle i-laddam." first
gained fame by predicting the "great
blizzard" of March ll. 12 and 13.
1888, from which he earned the sobri-
quct “Blizzard" Johnson. and his ad-
vice hus since been ruined by many
who have a leaning towards astrology.
He is a retired farmer whose pen-
chant ior studying the stars and 11111
relation of the planets to the earth
and to each other have given rise to -
Once or twice he has
been correct to a day. Often he has
predicted disturbances which came
within a week. and many times his
predictions have only been verified by
a stretch of the imagination.
For instance he predicted a serious
quake. 'l‘ht.1 nearest approach to it
was the explosion at the Union Mclat
lic Cartridge Co's powder magazine,
two weeks previous to the date set.
The large number of severe thunder
showers recently arc taken by some to
be :1 fulfillment ol‘ the prophecy.
