Franklin had arranged with co-worker at Bos-

was unable TO secure any observations. He rea-

In considering these facts line OF nductive rea-

wind always blows toward the centre OF the storm
that the northeast hurricane which Boston and
Philadelphia had experienced caused by the
suction exercised by an advancing storm eddy from
the southwest, which drew the air rapidly from
Boston toward philadelphia, while the source OF
the attracton-the centre Of the storm eddy-was
vet n thousand miles to the southwest OF the latter
place: that the velocity OF the northeast wind In
creased as the centre OF the storm eddy advanced
nearer and nearer from the southwest, until the
wind reached the conditions OF hurricane that
the, wind between Boston and Philadelphia shifted
and came from the southwest after the centre OF
the storm eddy had passed over this region, and
that the force OF the wind gradually decreased as
the centre Of attraction passed further and further
