STORMS FOR APRIL.

| Foster, the weather prognosticator,
claims that his forecast of the storm
wave from March 80 to April was full
! ly justified by the occurrences. He
now predicts the next storm will reach
the Pacific coast about the 9th, cross
the western mountains by close of the
10th, the great central valleys from 18th
to 18th, and the eastern states about
the 14th
| He says the warm wave will cross the
western mountains about the 9Th, the
great central valleys about the 18th.
and the eastern states about the 18th
The cool wave will cross the western
mountains about the 18th, the great
central valleys about the 18th, and the
eastern states about the 18th.
Foster thinks there will be many tor
nadoes during the year Another
weather prophet in Word and Works,
published in st. Louis, gives the fol-
lowing particulars as to storms during
the month of April:
1t will be wise to anticipate hail witt.
any well defined storm from this time
to the end of April. Very warm days
will usher in each regular storm pc
! rlOd, and sudden cold is apt to bring
up the rear of every general disturb
lance. From the 5th to the 9th falls a
storm period, with the new moon at an
eclipse node on the 5th. By that date
a warm wave of marked intensity will

rometer will be low and falling, and
storms of rain and hail with snow fol-
| lowing in the north, will start on their
eastern career. 1t will be prudent to
count on general and and severe dis
turbances from the 5th to the 9th and
to expect cold. with frost and light
! freezing as the storm area works east
ward of intermediate points. In the
IeXtreme east do not expect at the be-
ginning of the period the conditions
prevailing in the west, and at or be-
! fore the end of the period, in the ex-
IRENE west, expect just the reverse of
conditions existing. at the beginning of
the period. intermediate sections,
therefore, will get their storms and
changes during central parts of the pc
Rod.
| This law of storm movement is not
yet understood by the masses as it
should be, and it is the business of ig-
lnorant or envious and mercenary crit
les to prevent its being understood. On
and touching the 18th and 18th, Their
mometers and barometers will swing
back to storm readings; heavy show

lstrike all sections in their march to
1.-THE Atlantic. The opposition of the
planet Saturn on the 18th, if the sup
position of many worthy Investigators
be true, will add much energy and vio-
lence to all disturbances during the
| first half of April, and especially during
the perturbations from about the 18th
to 14th. Very cold weather. with frost
will succeed these disturbances.
The 18th and 21st will constitute the
next regulad period. The crisis of the
disturbances will be reached from 18th
to the night of the goth, the full moon
on the 10Th having tendency to- cen
tralize disturbing forces on that date
The showery conditions usually exist
ling all through April will take on new
power and organize into storms OF
great extent and energy at this period
as we'll as all the dates of central dis
lturbances. Very cool nights, with frost
/ generally. may be expected between the
storms of this period and the reaction
larry changes and storms due centrally
on the oath and 25th. Another COO
Idasf-severe enough to bring frost il
the north-will follow storms about
these dates The month will end with
a growing warm wave and with storms
advancing from western extremes oil
the country.
Without useless foreboding and dread
we may reasonably expect tornado
storms in many places during the storm
periods in April. Those who have made
preparations for such visitations anc
who have learned that they never come
to any section without ample time anC
plain indications, can afford to live il
quiet and ease so far as the tornadoes
are concerned. They are ready to rec
ognize the first breath of the destroy
ling monster, and at critical moment
Ito step aside into a safe refuge. The
times of greatest earthquake probable
lily will be about the new moon on the
5th and the full moon on the 18th. Be
