San Francisco.—The violent earthquake shocks in Mexico last Saturday night were part of the seismic disturbances he predicted as a result of the conjunction of six planets on the same side of the sun, according to Professor Albert F. Porta. Porta was credited with predicting the end of the world on Dec. 17.

"The Mexican earthquakes and those which occurred in the Canary Islands, Jan. 1 to 3 are to be considered as the product of the 'league of planets' which I predicted last August," Porta said today. Porta claimed other of his prognostications would be verified within a few months.
