Weather and science Notes
Ny predictions OF a great Storm
period during 1912 are being fully
verified The newspapers and their
readers are prone 20 misconstrue my
predictions and it Is Important to
bear IN mind that these destructive
storms are not expected to reach their
greatest force tin March. 1892. De-
struetive storms have been sufficiently
nuEleFOus since the middle OF May tn
indicate that we are approaching a
rsmarkable period OF unusually de-
structive storms. IL il we'll that L re-
mind my readers that before the win
ter closed l informed them that we
would have an unusually cool sum
mer till about the first OF August fol-
lowed by an average OF hot weather
TIL about September 10. Before the
winter OF lS9O-i was inaugurated /
assured my reader that the winter
would average warm till after the
firss OF January. that we would have
GOOD crop year, no general drouth,
while the destructive storms would
gradually increase in number and

other great storms all around the

their continued efforts will have many
advocates. Uncle Sam can well af-
