parts Of the country, earlier in the
west, later In the east. aud will be
in transit to about the 81. The
wave in It's extent will most likely
reach over the greater portion of the
country in some phase or other Of
disturbance. It's general character
will be severe in some Of its phases
and in parts Of the country, both on
its passage and the degree Of cid
experienced after its dissipation.
The west and the north will see
and experience more Of it's true
character than any other portion O..

flank Of the wave rain ATTENDED by
thunder and lightning and possibly
hurricanes may develop. A wave
