THE WEATHER.
Special to the Gazette,


ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Nov. S.-Rereto-
fore promised to give in this letter the
dates for one Of the greatest storms OF
the year. l have already stated that
the tropical hurricanes would increase Il
force from the LIST Of the month to To
9th, when one of them will be not far
from the Gulf of Mexico, but these trop-
zeal hurricanes are entirely distinct from
the continental storms, and move in an
entirely different circuit. The continent
tai storms vii; be due to leave the Pa
citio coast about the 9Th, cross the Mis-
sissippi valley from 9th 10 Sth, and reach
the Atlantic coast about the 9th. 1t will
be at its greatest force on the Northeast
Atlantic coast about the 9th, and will be
q very dangerous storm. | would advise
all TO keep off of the seas about that
time. About that time the storms will
be very severe all around the earth, and
while our let of storms are crossing the
Mississippi valley the other three storm
waves that belong to this latitude will be
about the middle of the North Atlantic
in Eastern Europe aud on the North Pa
cifc. The three systems OF hurricanes,
one on the North Atlantic, one OF the
North Pacific and one on the Indian
ocean, will all show increased activity,
each of these systems revolves around
the center OF the oceans 20 which they
belong.
Following the storm of 9Th to 9th VIII
be cold wave the force of which will
depend on the location of the tropical
hurricane. In the extreme Northwest
expect a blizzard out | cannot say how
far south it will go. The rause of thesf
unusual disturbances are: Venus at rs
equinoctial on the Sth and the mGb6
crossing the earth 9 equator on the ytH .
The influence of Venus equinoctisl COW
ers all the first half of the month while
the moon influence covers only three or
four days. On the Sth the equator of
Venus will be toward the sun, increasing
the Sun s electrical forces, which IN turn
causes an electrical agitation throughout
the solar system. This does not change
the time or direction OF the storms, only
increasing their force. This Venusion
disturbance would develop sun spots
were Jupiter at his disturbing point, but
as he is not there will be but few sun
spots. The earth was passing the equa-
tor of Venus from the goth to 25th,
causing the great stOriGS OF t0at period.
AS before stated November Will be
noted for Its great storms. Mercury will
pass its greatest disturbing point on the
18th, and will effect the storm i'm me-
diately before and after that date. But
the influence of Mercury and and Venus
on the weather differ very much, the
former having tendency to murky,
rainy weather, while the latter is more
violent and frequently brings the tor
nado, the hurricane and the blizzard.
We may not expect settled weather again
till after the 18th. 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that the storms do not
cover the whole continent, but when they
cross the southern part cool fair weather
is the rule for the north, and when they
cross the north part warm, taIr weasael'
occur III the south. Look out foEFbyd
weather ia the valley between thefMe-
ghany and Rocky mountains froMSNo-
vember 9th to 9th, dangerous storm on
the Atlantic coast, a great hurricane on
the Gulf of Mexico and q blizzard in the
Northwest. w. L. FOSTER.
