                               Mystery of the Seiche


       People who live on the shores of  Lake  Michigan  are  more  or less

       familiar with seiches and have been led to believe  that  the seiche

       is caused by a change in air pressure.


       To persons living  elsewhere,  let  us  explain that during a seiche

       (pronounced saysh) the water levels  along  the  lake  shore  change

       rapidly and markedly.   This  past  spring,  the  water  in  Belmont

       Harbor, Chicago, rose  three feet, then dropped 9 1/2 feet, exposing

       the bottom - all within a few minutes.   In  1954 the water suddenly

       rose 10 feet in Montrose Harbor, Chicago, and drowned eight people.


       The seiche comes  without  warning;  it  generally  cannot  be  seen

       approaching.  It is  not  a  tidal wave and often is no wave at all.

       It has been likened to water sloshing  back  and  forth  in  a lake.

       Furthermore, it occurs only in a few places in the world - the Great

       Lakes, Lake Geneva,  Loch  Earn  in  Scotland and  Lake  Vattern  in

       Sweden.


       With all the glib explanation though, we want to tell you something.

       No one really  understands  what  makes  a seiche; in fact no one is

       even sure just where the name comes from.

WHAT THE WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA HAD TO SAY ABOUT WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAPPENED in 1874

  AWAKEN                                                     Issue #33   1874 - WHAT THE WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA        HAD TO SAY ABOUT WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAPPENED THEN.   This issue will comprise mainly of quotes from Watch Tower publications. Present day Jehovah's Witnesses are unlikely to be aware of any of this material. Why ? The Watch Tower had changed it's theology and does not bother to let it's followers know facts about the past especially since the present theology is totally contradictory to what was promoted in the past. Both sets of incompatible conjectures were promoted as being found  and proven in Scriptures. Prior to 1943 if a follower of the Watch Tower questioned any of the Watch Tower's teaching about 1874, that person risked getting kicked out of the group ...
