AUGUST WEATHER.
The Most Dangerous Storms of Angus
Expected From the 18th to
the oath.
Danger to Navigation on the Lakes, the North
Atlantic and the Gulf OF MexicO-Cause
of the Disturbances.
Snecial to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
OMAHA. NEB., Aug. BIN my last letter 1,
gave forecasts of tine storm waves due to cross
the Mississippi valley from the 18th to the 18th.
The next following it will be due to leave the
Pacific coast about the 18th, cross the Missis-
sippi valley from the 18th to the 18th, and reach
the Atlantic coast about the 18th. 1t will in
crease in force from the time it crosses the Mis-
sssippi valley, about the 18th, till it reaches the
Atlantic ocean, about the goth.
This will inauS urate the greatest storm period
of the month, and the most dangerous storms of
August may be expected from the 18th to the
Z4th.
The causes that will greatly increase the force
of the storms of this storm period are: Venus
crosses the suns equator on the 10th, the moon
crosses the earth's equator on the 18th, and Mer-
curry crosses the SUMS equator at its greatest
disturbing point on the 10th. These three dis
turbsnces occurring within four days will act as
does the alternating current of the electro
dynamo machines. and will cause great activity
in the eartn's electric currents. This wall be
the tornado period of August.
These storms will range further south than
did those of July but cannot give their ex-
act locations. The center of the low barometers
will probably cross the mississippi about st.
Louis, but the dangerous part of the storm is
seldom near its center; 1t is usually south of
the center.
This hole storm, period. 18th to the Path,
will be very dangerous to water navigation on
the lakes the North Atlantic and the gulf of
Mexico. This period Of storm disturbances
will also break up the drouth in many places
ard check excessive rains in others. 1t is one
of those periods that usually change the
weather conditions generally.
During these disturbances the moon Will pass
south OF the earth,s equator This has the
nosphere from the Northern TO the Southern
hemisphere, with cooler weather in the North
ern. When the earth's atmosphere IS pulled
south it leaves less dense atmosphere north and
permits the cold of outer space to more readily
penetrate the earth w. T. FOSTER.

A HAPPY PEOPLE

fidelity to the fundamental law is the enc in
dispensable condition upon which the safety

In the midst OF these important deliberations

gentlemen, thanks, and through you beg to
say to my friends throughout the state, thanks.
With unfeigned pride l shall strive by unfinch-
ing devotion to duty and jealous watchfulness
OF the peoples every interest to deserve this

The Hon. Horace T. Chiffon of Smith county
then arose and placed the name of the Hon. j.

Chiffon said:
CHIToN's SPEECH.
Mr.. Chairma and Gentlemen
Ny purpose in arising is to take formal but,
to me, deeply interesting step in your proceed
ings It is to bring before the bar of this Dem
ocratic assemblage the name of candidate for
the first and highest office in your gift.
One whose nominations so far settled in adj
vance that every moment devoted to prelimina-
ries may seem to the man of business, an un-
necessary delay. 1t would therefore be scarcely
approximate for me to eulogjze him. at length.
Whatever result might be expected upon an or
binary occasion to follow the skillful use of
panegyric, before this body and upon this oc-
cssion, it would clearly be superhuous.
