st. Joseph. NO. Dec. l5.-afy last bull
letin gave forecasts Of the storm wave
to cross the continent from 18th to
goth, and the next. which is due in ia
pan about December 8. Will reach the
Pacific coast near the Columbia rivers
mouth about the Goth. cross the West
ern mountains by close Of 2ist, the
Missouri valley and upper lakes Esd.
Ohio valley. East gulf and lower lakes
cath. Eastern states 25th and New
foundland goth.
The path OF this storm center will
lie along the northern border of the
United states. causing unusually warm
weather all over the country preceding
and during the passage of the disturb
ance, only moderately cool weather fol-
lowing.
! Rainfall from this disturbance will
/ be limited to small areas and excessive
evaporation will cause drouth In many
parts of the country. Better rains may
be expected from the next disturbance.
Warm wave will cross the Western
mountain country about goth. the great
central valleys about the 22d and the
Eastern states about the 2lth. Cool
wave viii cross the Western mountain
country about the ESD, the great central
valleys about the 2jth and the Eastern
states about the eth.
My forecasts o. dry November have
been wonderfully well verified, not
more than malt Jne usual amount OF
rain having fallen during the past
month.
we have found, in previous dis
cussiOu, that the pendulum is not re-
liable as tITae regulator OF long
periods. The orthodox scientists, haV-
ing founded their system upon rope
OF sand, little more reliable than was
the pagan idea concerning the earth
being the center OF the universe, are
always full OF amendments and 10 sup
port their failing pendulum come lOr-
ward with the declaration that the
everlasting permanent stars furnish
the unlailing mlepOst5 by which TO
measure time.
one OF their chiefs Professor Young
of Princeton NJ. j. college said Tine
longitudss of the stars have been found
to Increase regularly at the rate of nifty
and two-tenths seconds annually--fully
twenty degrees In the last 1000 years"
He also states in General Astronomy,
page lS2, that hipplchus, l2O years be-
fore Christ. found that the year from
equinox to equipOX was twenty NM
utes and twenty-three seconds shorter
than the year in which the earth passes
star aud returns to the same SCAR
again Prior 10 the time Of Hlppar-
Chus the stars were used by which to
measure the years, but he found them
20 be unreliable ana therefore present
day scientists cannot fall back on that
old time regulator failure.
Those orthodox scientists have tried
20 demonstrate these irregularities or
falling back of the stars toward the
west is caused by a combination OF
the magnetic influences of the sun and
moon, Their system is based OH a
fundamental error aud they are mex
tricably entausled.
That fundamental error is in suppos-
Ing that the suns forces originate in
heat that Is passing from the sun into
space, while the truth is that the forces
originate from ether that is going to
the sun.
The falling back Of the stars, or pro-
cession OF the equnoNes, is caused by
the plane OF the earth's equinox always
remaining relatively the same, not to
the sun, as supposed by the leGrned
scientists, but to that confer around
which the sun and stars are revolving.
This Ia so clearly the truth that the
common heory M the orthodox appears
monstrously ridiculous
After another retreat the scientist
lords set up another claim for the stars
as time regulat tors and say that Inc
procession OF the equinoxes and the
falling back OF the stars are so well
understood that the changes caused by
them can be taken into the calculations
ana their value as time measures thus
preserved
But as our sun is moving In space Mt
the rate OF about $1,000 miles an hour
carrying the earth and other planets
