ST. JOsEPH, No, January 4.-Prof.

The recent heavy snow falls and severe
storms are notable veriiications Of my
weather forecasts, and furnish another
evidence that an unusually large amount
OF precipitation occurs about every -
days. The storm waves have followed
closely the dates predicted, but large

The storm wave following will be due

From the 3d 10 the slSt Of January will
average very warm in the West, but not
as warm In the Northern States.
The north Atlantic permanent high
barometer Is now on its westward swing,
causing a warm winter in the MisSiSSip-
pi valley, aud causing the low barOme-
terS of the storm waves to take north
ern routes while crossing .he Mississippi
valley and a southeastern course over
the Northeastern States, causing colder
and rOugher weather than in the valley.
The presence OF this Atlantic high bar
