FOSTERS FORECAST.
The First Two Weeks in January VIII
Be Cold-Snow and Rain.
Increased Rainfall IN the Mississippi Valley
Predicted for '91-Ths Planets
Originally Comes.
Special to the Gazette.


ST. JOSEPH, No., Dec. 19.-The next
storm wave will Re due to leave the Pa
oifio coast about the 2lst. When we get
news from the North Pacific it will give
accounts of very rough weather there on
the 18th and goth. This storm wave will
pass the Eastern slope of the Rocky
Mississippi valley from the 22nd to 24th,
and reach the Atlantic coast about the
25th. 1t will be OF more than ordinary
force and will affect all the states north
of the 40th parallel in the way of snow
and gales, and all the states south of
that parallel with rain. Cooler weather
will follow this storm than followed the
preceding one. The rainfall and snow
on the whole will largely increase, but
will continue to be largely in countries
near the sea level. The last storm was
calculated to be most severe on the At
laBtic coast about the 10Th or Goth. 1
expect colder weather during the first
two weeks in January, but the month
will not be a severe one. believe there
will be an increase In rainfall in 1891 in
the Mississippi and Missouri valleys along
the fortieth degree of north latitude.
May 1892, will bring the most disastrous
storms since 1923.
WEATHER AND SCIENCE NOTES.
In studying meteorology or any OF the
physical sciences one Of ths most impor-
tant items is the nature of attraction.
1t Is usually spoken of as pull, but this
is an inpossibiity. 1t must be push
To illustrate: The earth and all the
a; .
their equators than through their poles.
Wbvf Astronomers say that while the
earth WIS heated and melted mass its
rapid revolution on its axis caused it to
elougate in the direction OF its equator.
But 1 deny that it was ever melted
mass any more than we now see in the
volcanoes. Bodies of electricity are to
solid matter like bodies of water expell-
ing the lighter while the heavier sinks
into it. The earth throws off body OF
electricity over its equator and solid
bodies in space are pushed into that cleo
tricuI body, and seeking its center are
conveyed to near the earth's equator.
This is one cause of the tarth's greater
growth CT its equator, while vege table
growth furnishes another. All the plan
cts were originally comets and were
pushed from space toward the suns
electric center, its equator. But their
momentum caused them to pass beyond
the suns equator, and then the resist
ance of matter pushed them back to-
ward the SUMS electric belt again, and
so they continue to vIbrate, each time
passing little less distance beyond the
center of the sun g electric belt. The
earth now only goes seven degrees north
and south of the suns equator
aud the moon only five degrees
with and south Of the earth's equator.
Placing an electric body on one side of
matter takes or drives away the resist
snce or pressure of the universal matter
of space, and the resistance on the other
side pushes the matter into the center of
the electrical body. Organized bodies
like meteors, comets, moons and planets
have no weight toward any other body US
their matter presses equally toward their
own centers. Another fact has much to
do with these questions. Whenever
matter-I regard electricity as matter
moves IN one direction other matter
moves in the opposite direction. All
physical scientists agree that electricity
passes from sun and planets over their
equators and return to them at their
poles, and electricity passing from the
earth at Its equator would require that
other matter come to 1t at the equator
aud pass from it at the poles, so my
theory does not disagree with generally
accepted scientific principles. But when
two organized bodies como near each
other their electric fields repel each
other and, therefore, the planets,
moons, suns and comets cannot fall into
each other. This explains the tides.
Scientists say that the moons attraction
pulls the waters OF the ocean up, causing
q tidal wave. ! do not believe anything
of the kind. The moons electric field
with Its accompanying etherio mat
ter passes over the ocean, depressing it
as O great weight making q trough in
the ocean, and after it passes on the
ocean wave comes in to fill the trough
and level the sea. The fact that the
flood-tide is 1000 miles behind the moon
Ia good evidence for this theory. The
tides then are caused by push instead
of pull. The planets sink into the sun 8
etheric atmosphere as log or stone sinks
into water, the heavier the planet the
nearer to the sun 1t sinks. The age of
the planets has nothing to do with their
position, near or far from the sun. The
circulation OF electricity through them
causes them to revolve on thei: axes,
while the SUMS etherio atmosphere -e-
vOlving with it causes them to revolye
around the sun. W. I. FOSTER.
