ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Feb. 26.-Last week
gave forecasts of the storm wave due to
cross the continent from the 22d to 9th
and the cool wave from the 25th to 29th.
The next storm wave will be- due to reach
the Pacific coast about February %, cross
the Rocky mountains by the close of the
goth, the great central valleys from March
l to 3, and the Eastern states about the 18th.
This storm will have greatest ssforce w est
of the Missouri river and will probably
cause blizzard in Montana February 29,
and storm of considerable force further
southeast about March l. Rough weather
may be expected throughout the Missouri
valley about March 2.
This storm will lose force as it enters the
Eastern states about March and 4, but
the storm preceding it will be of con-
siderable force in the Northeastern states
on February 20.
The cool wave moving eastward will
cross the Pacific slope and the western
mountains by the close of March l, the
great central valleys about March and the
Eastern states about March ).
have often stated, and will repeat, that
very severe storms will occur on this conti-
nent during March. Western Europe has
experienced the greatest storms Of the CEN
fury during the past six monthc, and it is
almost impossible for this country not to go
through the same experience during the
next six months.
Even orthodox scientists have given
warning of the great disturbances near at
hand, because of the great sun spots and
other remarkable disturbances now appa-
rent on the sun. Spots on the sun, they de-
clare, cause an increase in the force of our
earth storms through the agency of the
electrical forces.
They also declare that the perihelion of
Jupiter causes maximum of sun spots and

this indicates that the men who have posed
as the leaders in scientific research are be-
ing forced to acknowledge the influence of
the planets on our earth, and that electric
ity is the medium.
But in claiming that sunspots cause auro-
ras and other earth disturbances, and that
the perihelia of the planets cause sunspots,
these great scientists wholly disregard
cause and effect-disregard all the laws of
electricity and magnetism.
Jupiter is now about forty.millions of miles
nearer the sun than in was six years ago,
and if we follow the laws of electricity,
that would increase the electrical forces of
the sun aud earth, which in turn would in
crease the evaporation and cloudliness on
the sun, thereby preventing sunspots;
therefore the perihelia of the planets can
not cause suuspots and the sunspots cannot
cause earth disturbances.
Sun spots must necessarily be OF exactly
the same nature as our high barometers,
and our cold waves, causing large areas of
clear weather, corresponding to the large
dark spots on the sun.
The facule, or bright spots, on the sun
are the same as our low barometers where
we have densely cloudy weather. What
ever causes our storm centers, our high and
low barometers, our cold waves also cause
the sun spots, and I assert without fear of
contradiction, that it is the equinox of
Jupiter and not his perihelion that causes
the increase OF auroras and sun spots.
On the night of February 13, when the
great aurora lighted up the northern
heavens-also the region of the south pole,
no doubt, although we have no news from
that part of the earth-Jupiter was within
two degrees of his equinox while he was
fourteen degrees from his perihelion, there
fore the electric tension OF the sun was
very great and only needed an outlet in
order to shock or electrify the whole solar
system.
The electrifying event occurred on the
18th, when Venus passed the earth's equa-
tor and the earth passed the equator of
Mars. Anyone who has studied the nature
of electrical currents in connection with
revolving globes will readily see the logic
in these statements.
But the difficulty in the way of orthodox
scientists is that they still consider the sun
as a burning body, instead of, as it really
is, a body very much like the earth, with
us seas, continents, mountains, Valleys,
clouds and storms, all affected by the very
same laws and in the same manner as are
the various parts of our earth.
Knowing of the approach of the equinoxes
of Saturn and Jupiter, 1 gave warning
nearly year ago that 1892 would be year
of great storms all around the earth, and
that these great disturbances would reach
their maximum force in the four months
from March TO June so.
Slce the great auroral display February
Is, orthodox scientists are predicting the
same increase of disturbances that 1 did a
year ago.
Spots on the sun and storms all around
the earth have been increasing for six
months past at least, and they will con-
tinue to increase for at least months to
come. But both sun spots and earth storms
are effects of the same cause. The planets !
and sun electrify each other just as revolv- |
ing magnets in the electro-dynamo machine |
affect each other.
The time appears to be rapidly approach |
ing when the electrical theory of force in /
the universe will take the places of the |
nebular and heat theories and electro |
meteorology dethrone the chaotic world of |
chance ideas that have long ruled in the |
weather bureau of the United States.
