ST. JOSEPH. No.. Sept rs. A renarh-
able period OF great storms win oocur
during the first half OF octehcr thak
will be surpassed Only By tho, thee
will occur IN March, 1892. There IN
be three STERN waves during this storm
period which will cross the continent
from west 10 east along the usual Storm
center routes. The first Of these ssorm
waves will be most severe ia the u,.e,s-
sippi valley and the last one on the A.
lantic coast. The first Of these sform
waves viii DC due to leave the racif5o
coast about September 80. cron the
Rocky-Ailegheny valley from October
90 and reach the Atlantic coast ai.o,,t
the 4th. On the I'd this storm NAVE uiIl
be crossing the Mississippi Rive, not frr
from II. Louis and will then be of rcrv
considerable force in Illinois aud Ma
souri,. Accompanying this storm wave
may bc expected tornasioes, cloudbursfs.
hail and severe gales and within one ar
two daAs following it killing ffosfx win
visit most localities north oi latitude az.
with strong probability OF Irosts much
further south Hurricanes will develoo
great force on the North Atlantic -

location bat they vii probably be not

Science and Weather Nstea
Twenty-three hundred years ago
Aristotle declared there is but ono
single universal force and that doclara-
ton entities him TO he called tie father
OF science. But the dark as came
and crushed that truth 10 eartn 10 rise
sgaln in the last years ofthe nineteenth
century. When tie clouds of the dark {.
ages began TO clear away . great mind
declared half truth IN the nebular
theory OF creation, which, for more
than century has been taken - the
basis of astronomy. geology and me-
teorology. This nebular theory, like
the ptolmaic theory of astronomy. il
requiring OF our astronomers. geoIog-
lets and meteoroiogss;s constant snven-
tons 10 make the nebular HYPOTHESIS
and Its consequent heat theory OF fierce
10 hold together and these invented
theories are becoming so numerous
that the nebular theory is tottering 10
It's fall. For the salvation of science is
Is just as necessary 10 return TO the
unity OF forces, Is announced by Arls-
totle, as it was 10 Christianity that Paul
should establish the unity of spiritual
force IN the truth of enc God. The
nebular theory stands 10 scientific
truth IN about the same relation that
the theory OF million OF gods did to
true religion in the days Of Christ II
we go back 10 the truth of one univer-
sal force we not only lift seience from
the mire but We do for the scientific
world that which the doctrine OF ono
God did for the religious world.
All Heavenly Bodies
There isbutone physical force and that
force Is electricity, or matter in motion.
Its origin is found in the condensation
Of the dlffused matter of space. Az
this ether of space condenses into the
solid bodies, as the meteors. comets.
asteroids, moons, planets. suns and the
clusters OF stars, IT IL. by these condens-
atoms, caused 10 converge toward these
common centers in straight lines, and
after moving through them and depos-
lhng its grosser materials, radiafcs TO
other bodies, gathering more matter IN
space. This movement of that which
has been called the ether of space con-

force and is the basis Of my meteoro-
logical themes. Electricity is the unl-

Every heavenly body. from meieors 20
the suns. have grown from atoms 10y
combinations. Suns and planets are
caused TO revolve on their axes by the
electrical force we see IN the natural
magnet and planets and satellites re-
yolse around their primaries because
OF the elements that surround and re-
volve with the latter. The sun % not
