ALL QUIET ON VOLCANO FRONT EXP EXPLORER SAYS Glacier Priest Takes rakes Is Issue sue With Plush Bt Bottom Bottom Bot Bot- ot t tom o m Chair Scientists on Cycle Ccle Theory Y CAMP Alaska Signaling CAP AP Signaling a R possible end to the extreme extreme ex ex- activity of or the past few years of or hundreds of or volcanoes along along- the mile 1800 stretch of or the Alaska peninsula and the Aleutian Island chains Father Bernard Hubbard famed glacier priest reports them relatively quiet this summer and expects them to remain so At the same time the explorer takes issue with plush bottom chair scientists who uphold the so-called so cycles theory of of- volcanic activity Here in the Alaskan wilds Father ather Hubbard took time o out t today to report report re rc re- re port observations made during the summer to date I do not ot look for any major eruptions crup- crup for several years along the Alaska peninsula or Aleutian volcanic volcanic vol vol- canic chain he said All of ot them are quiescent or moderately mod steaming and none of ol them themis is violently eruptive My personal opinion is that on a plush bottom chair or in a laboratory laboratory labora labora- tory or among a group of oC arguing scientists these cycles are very plausible and interesting but out In the field In research work we find that volcanoes in general utterly disregard disregard dis dis- regard rezard any such periods A volcano is like an earthquake So many physical and chemical variables variables varia varia- bles bes are present that what Is predicted predict predict- ed of or one cannot be predicted of oC an an- other He went on to say that it was not difficult to study one volcano and after obtaining data to accurately predict its eruptions The more I study them in groups however he said the thc more I conclude conclude con elude clude clude that they utterly disregard any theoretic mathematical cycle
