PREDICTED GALVESTON STORM.
By reference to cur storm diagram and
forecasts for December in our 1909 alman-
&C our readers will see that some severe
storms and weather. are in store for u.s.
and the dates given when such are to
be expected during next month See our
almanac for all that year, ready by Nov.
Is. In answer to all inquiries and criti-
cisms concerning our prediction of the
Galveston cyclone, we affirm that we not
only warned the gulf coast cities, but
named the days ard gave astronomical
reasons for the same. See pages 81 to 81
of our 1900 almanac and September fore
casts in Words and Works. Every post
master in every gulf state, from Florida
to Texas had our almanac as early as
last May at our expense. Early III July
we wrote to S. o. Young, secretary Of
the Galveston cotton exchange. calling
attention TO our forecasts and ASKING him
to distribute fifty copies of Word and
Works to members of his exchange.-Irl
