My last letter gave forecasts Of z
storm wave to cross the Mississippi
valley from 18th to 9th. From thai
date to November or 10 VIII occur
the 90 day rain period anu the heavy
storms that belong to the equinoxes
Of Venus. In fact, November will
he noted for great weather disturbs
anees, especially for tropical hurri-
canes and northwestern billiards.
In the northwest people will I'M
agine that winter Is coming on fero-
ciously aud early, but after the No
vember storms are over beautiful
weather will return.
Numerous finst-class disturbances
will occur in November, among
which will be the equinox of Venus
at 30 on the Sth, Mercury crossing
the SUMS equator at ssl on the 18th,
and the Moon crossing the earth,s
equator on the 9th and 22nd. 1 es.
innate the relative force Of the
planets in their influence on the
storms and weather, the first hav-
ing the greatest force, the second
having the next greatest, etc, as
follows:
1. Moon crossing the e,rtl,,. o,,,,,-

The regular storm waves are in-
dependent as to their movements
from wes- 10 east in this latitude,
and around their centres in the Pa
ciiic, Atlantic and Indian oceans,
tut are caused to increase or DE-
crease in force by the electric force
Of the planets.
| do not know the cause Of the
storm waves, but l believe them 10
be permanent electric Organizations
that move entirely around their
centres in the oceans, follow the suu
near the equator ana move entirely
around the earth in this latitude IN
about - days. About the first day /.
OF November the lubricants viii |
begin 90 Increase Ia force. Oar
principal inter 50 is in those that
move around the centre Of the north I
Atlantic Ocean. Wherever they
may be, they will develop their
greatest force about November 9th. |
These slow moving storms require
as much as n week 10 move from the
west coast Of Africa to the WiuG-
ward islands northeast Of South
America, and another week b move
through the Gulf Of Mexico AMI up
the Atlantic coast. I am not yet
able TO give the date on
which these hurricanes will pass
a given point. This might be
known II the national weather
bureau would investigate in the
right direclion. l believe they move
around their centre in ab5ut -
days, the time required for the
storms IN this latitude 30 move
around the earth. While these
hurricanes are At theiE greatest force .
on The Oh I expect severe biz /
zlrd in the northwest.
The next stO-m wave will be due
to leave the Pacific coast about Oct. /
-, pass the Mississippi Valley from .
Oct. 81 10 Nov. ., ami reach the A. /
lantic coast about the Bird. IL il not I
expected 10 he n great storm, but .
the one following it-dates given in 1
my next letter-is expected IL be 4 /
destructive storm.
