SAYS MARS IS SIGNALING US
Flammarlon, Astronomer, Predicts
Interstellar Communication
Paris, March 31. (By A. P.) Be
lief that the strange signals picked up
bv wireless stations recently come from
Mars is expressed by Cnmille Flam
niarion, famous astronomer. He thinks
Interstellar communication mny yet be
come n realized fact, but Is inclined to
believe it will be by the -use of some
magnetic force not yet developed.
"Since the slgnnls appear to bo regu
lar," he says, "It Is improbable -they
come from the sun, although our great
luminary Is displaying prodigious nctiv
Ity. It is possible, however, the present
chaotic conditions on earth may be
traced to solar storms, which may have
n reactive effect on the enrth nnd the
mln.li of men."
