ron THE NExT SEVEN DAYS.


St Joseph. Mo-. July il.-My last
bulletin gave forecasts OF the storm
wave across the continent from 18TH TO
18th. and the next win reach the Pa
cifc coast about The 18th. cross the
western mountains By close OF the
18th, the great central val'iys FROM the
18th to 2ist. and the eastern states
about he 22ai
Tie principal feature OF this disturb
ance will be the excessive rains It will
cause, but II will stu leave many places
short on rainfall and poorly prepared
to meet the August drouth,
The warm wavs will cross the west
ern mountains about the 18th. the
great central yallsyp about the 18th,
ana the eastern states about the 2ist.
The cool wave viii cross the western
mountains about the goth. the great
central valleys about The 22nd. and the
eastern states about the 2tfh.
The nth principal storm wave of
July viii reach the Pacific coast about
the 2Sd. cross the western mountains
i,v close of siih. the great central val
leys from 25th to 27th, and the eastern
states about 2Sth. This disturbance
will innupirate heated term that
will beeome very oppressive during ihe
last part of July and the frat part Of
August.
The warm wave viii cross the west
ern mountains about 23d. the great
central valleys about s5th, and the
eastern states about a7th. The cool
Nave will cross the western mountains
about goth. the great central valleys
about 2sth. and the eastern states
about Goth
Like the seventeen year locusts the
seventeen year weather periods appear
to nave little regularity but when once
understood. when one knows how to
measure their periods by planetary po-
sItions. they prove themselves true to
the seventeen year rule. establish cleo
tro-magnetism as cause and plane
tary NEUROLOGY as the only true sys-
tenn.
As a sample of the fifteen TO seven
teen year period of recurring weather
let us take the temperature Of Musca-
tine. Iowa. for the month OF April 1899.
1854, 1856. 1871 and 1856 For these five
years the month of April never failed
to develop an excess OF temperature
and the average excess was over four
degrees daily for the five months or a
total excess of more than GOO degrees.
In some OF the Ealtcrn states we
have longer weather periods and when
they have been worked out l will be
able to show more striking evidences
OF the fifteen-seventeen year weather
periods, although the Musoailne rec
ord. as shown above. is positive proof
that such period does obtain. have
not yet worked out the rainfall record
for Muscatine on the seventeen yenr
period or l would give It here.
No farther doubt can exist that there
in a seven year weather period. The
reason that II has eluded the grasp OF
meterologists Is that 1t is double
period or rather two seven year periods
running together | will give the proof
OF this double seven year period. but
1 will not give the key to IT.
Take St. Louis July temperature for
the years 1s4i. AZ. As. 81. So. 81, 90, es.
"A, IS, 81, 81. 49, These thirteen periods
give daily average excess OF 2.SS
degrees, or total excess Of eb9 degrees.
No one can deny that this Is positive
evidence Of this recurring weather pc
riod and as July. 1894 Is the next re-
curing date we have reason to expect
an excess of temperature at st. Louis
this month.
The excess varies greatly, however.
on account of the influence Of other
planets and / have only completed the
calculations OF this one planet for July
at st. Louis, therefore ] am not yet
able to say whether the excess VIII be
great or small for this month. In fact,
the excess might be overcome by the
influence Of other planets which have
not yet had time to calculate.
Now let us take the rainfall at Mi
ami, Mo-, for August. a critical period
In the corn crop season. For the years
1S47, 90, SO, so. &C, ca, ", az, 10. so. SO,
o. 90 the average monthly deficiency
for August was so OF an Inch and some
OF the most severe drouths occurred
In these recurring periods. Ten OF
these periods averaged deficiency OF
La inches for August and only three
OF them gave an excess. owing to the
Overwhelming influence of the other
planets combined
According 10 this record forecast
OF a severe drouth for August In Gem
trail Missouri, based on one planet
would prove correct. ten times out OF
thirteen. and by learning the effects
the other planets have all errors may
possibly be avoided.
have one illustration completed
for the Eastern states. Take New Bed
ford Mass, temperature for Decem-
Der, 1871. 20, 80. Al, ~. 81. 60. 49, 81. 50.
and the average daily excess Is BIB
degrees or total excess OF 9s9 degrees.
This ia the eight year period and
without an exception universally
causes a warm December at New Bed
ford. December. 1897, win be the next
date and warm December may be
expected at that place and time. when
! have concluded my calculations on
the other planets ] confidently expect
to be able TO correctly forecast how
warm December. 1897, will be at New
Bedford. Mass.
While high and low temperatures
usually cover large areas there are
always spots IN these AREAS that are
higher or lower In temperature than
the average cold or warm iield and
therefore while warm December at
New Bedford would Indicate a warn
field over the New England states the
reverse Of this would be true hi some
