Fosters Weather Predictions.

ST. JOSEPH, No., April 24-My
last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm waves to cross the continent
from 9Sth to May 2d and the next
will reach the Pacific coast about
May Sd, cross the west of Rockies
country by close of 4th, great central
valley 9Th to 7th, eastern states Sth.
Warm wave will cross the west of
Rockies country about May Sd, great
central valleys 5th, eastern states 7th.
Cool wave will cross the west of
country about 9Th, great central val
leys Sth, eastern states 10th.
Temperature of the week ending
May 1st will average about normal
in the northern and below normal in
southern states. For the same period
rainfall will be above normal in the
southern anu below In the northern
states.
My next bulletin will contain gem
eral forecast of May weather, very
importantant in relation to the crops.
In my general forecats of April
weather the southern states were to
receive more rainfall that the north
ern. How wonderfully we'll this fore
cast has been fulfilled and how i'm
portant to the crops this distribu-
tion of rain has been.
1t will be remembered that the re-
versals in February and March wealth
er of this year were predicted and that
these reversals would cause deleteri-
Gus effects on animal life and human
health. Look at the results. Severe
colds, epidemical coughs and large
increase of deaths among old and in
firm people.
We have not seen the worst of
these reversals. They will come
again, with increased malignance, in
September and October and again,
at their worst, next December and
January. These reversals largely
increase the difficulties in weather
forecasting.
The regular, or what is called the
direct, magnetic currentsof the earth
are reversed when these reversals
come as is clearly shown by the mag
netic instruments.
My theory is that the common
magnat, known to every school
child, receives its force directly from
the magnetism of the earth and that
force of the magnet is reversed wheI
the magnetic currents Of the eartl
are reversed.
Further, that our animal life con-
stitutes a magnet and that life is sus
tained By magnetic currents thai
come from the earth. Cut off these
currents and health is destroyed and
therein is q principal cause of the
great increase In nervousness among
the people, particularly those whose
circumstances isolate or insulate
them from mother earth.
A great French physician requires
his patients to walk barefooted ar
hour or more each day on the naked
soil.
Ii you will have rivets OF coppe
wire put through the soles of YOU
shoes-through the heels will be the
best-so as to connect the foot
, through the wire, with th,
magnetism Of the earth, yor
will find great addition t.
j your health, particularly If yol
: take considerable exercise by walk
ing on the bare earth. Damp eartl
is best.
The remedy here suggested will
have best effect when the earth's
magnetism Is direct and the storm
waves are moving in regular order
which will be announced in these
bulletins.
In severe cases of nervousness pui
an insole of zinc in your shoes in ad
dition to the copper wire througl
your shoe soles. Boot and shoe me n
ders can readily do this work.
The reversals of February anC
March caused great loss by hos
cholera and other diseases among
live stock. Such effects can alway
be noticed when reversals occur.
