A Year Of Storms.

Beginning with the first week in May
of this year, and ending with the last
week in June, 1892, will constitute the
greatest storm period since 1928, and
it will be at its greatest force during the
coming winter. The winter will set in
early and with its unusual cold and great
snow storms and billiards. will be what
is termed a very hard winter. These
winter storms will begin in the northern
tier ofstates with great severity in Octo-
Der, and an early winter, very severe all
over the continent, will follow. The
force of the storms will increase very
gradually, and the May storms will not
be so marked as those later on. We will
probably have an occasional tornado, but
destructive storms will not attract general
attention till after June 8, when the great
battle of the elements will begin in
earnest, and every month will begin its
noted storms.
June is not always month of great
storms, but it will be this year, and should
my predictions be verified as to that
month the public will give more attention
to what have said as to the eleven
months that follow it. October and
November are the months that usually
bring the tropical hurricanes that are
sometimes very disastrous on the Gulf of
Mexico and occasionally do damage as far
north as Tennessee and Arkansas. The
great hurricanes that visited the lower
Mississippi and the coast of the Gulf Of
Mexico in 1928 will be repeated next
October and November. Wherever you
find an old man who followed fiat. boating
on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in
1923 you will find an oracle who can
reveal much history about the hurricanes
Of the lower Mississippi River st that
time. Portions of Florida were greatly
damaged by the hurricanes sixty years
ago.
do not desire to create any unnecss-
sary sensation about this very great storm
period, but no harm cen come by being
prepared for the very severe winter and
the great storms. Hundreds of thousands
of people who read my weather forecasts
every week will have great faith in the
predictions made in this letter, for they
know that am very careful and seldom
mislead them. The forecasts are not
based on any superstition or secret, but
on what I know to be, and on what any
person may know to be, real physical
causes.
The causes of this period of great dis.
turbance will be the equinox of Saturn in
October and the equinox of Jupiter next
January. Jupiter's equinox occurred in
August and Saturn's in October, 1882,
and hence the great storms of that and
the year following. The equinoxes of
these planets cause great electric distur,
Dances in our solar system, just as do the
equinoxes of our earth in March and
September, but on larger scale. Elec.
tricity is the force that causes all storms,
and the sun and all the planets throw an
electric force far into space over their
equators, as does the electro dynamo, and
consequently when any planet passes its
equinoctial the electric tension of the sun
and of that planet are disturbed, and
simultaneously the electric force of every
planet in the solar system is unbalanced,
which affects the electric currents of the
earth.-Dallas Neaus.
