from February 90 to q and the next
will reach the Pacific coast about Feb.
18th, cross the western mountain
country BY close Of Mar. !, the great
central valleys from I'd to 4th aud
the eastern states about the 9th.
This disturbance will be a c%ontin-
uance Of the severe storms Of Febru-
airy, and precipitation will be about
an average.
Warm wave will cross the western
mountain country about February %,
the great central valleys about March
=, and the eastern states about March
4. Cool wave will cross the western
mountain country about March 3, the
great central valleys about the 9th,
and the eastern states about 7th.
MARCH WEATHER.
Indications are that the tempera-
turc of March will average below nor
NAL east of the A%lleghanies and north
of Richmond. Virginia; above nor
NAL in the Atlantic states south Of
Richmond; below in the Ohio valley
and the upper and lower lakes; below
normal in the Missouri and upper
Mississippi valleys; below in the Red
river country; above in the lower Mis-
sissippi valley and east gulf; below
average in the arid districts cast Of
the Rockies; below average on the
north Pacific slope and above on the
south Pacific slope.
March rainfall will be well distrib.
uted and about normal throughout the
country except a probable excess on
the Middle Atlantic coast.
The unusually severe tropical
storms FIRST part Of February caused
more extreme cold on the continent
than was expected.
CLIMATE.
Let US again examine the north
magnetic poles for further informa.
ton as to climatic changes. The
writer does not claim that the sun,
moon and planets originate storm cen
ters, or the various transient and local
high and low barometers. These be-
longs to the earth's magnetic system
and their force and movements are
affected by planetary magnetism.
The old orthodox meteorological,
claim that a perpetual low barometer
surrounds the geographical NORTH
pole, covering an area three 20 fou1
thousand miles in diameter. TheJ
have probably been misled about thi'
from the fact that all arctic voyages
must be made by passing through TIT

Explorers have not gone nes

whether it has a perpetual low, an'

Metcorologists have determined. Il

that high barometers cover about tn

The theory is this: The suns mag

form the magnetic north pole into
low barometer about the first OF Apr
when the sun has fairly crossed to tn
northern side Of the eartb's equsto
and again to q high barometer abou
the first of October when the sur ha
