Washington, D. c.. Jan. Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross continent to IL, warm wave I to
II, cool wave 10 to a. Next disturbance
will reach Pacific coast about II, cross
west of Rockies by close of I3, great
central valleys ID to 1o, eastern states II.
Warm wave will cross west of Rockies
about -, great central valleys ID, eastern
states I6 Cool wave will cross west OF
Rockies about IS, great central valleys
y, eastern states l9.
This disturbance will come during the
prevalence of great wave Of high tenn
peratures constituting the warmest period
of January and that week is expected to
average warmest of the month. Storms
will not be very great but will reach
their greatest intensity about II. At that
time cool wave is expected to cover
the great central valleys from Winnipeg
to the Gulf of Mexico. The above Ies-
cribed disturbance will be on the Pacific
slope and the preceding storm will be in
the northeastern states.
Following January IL the storms will
soon begin to decrease in force except
that rainfall will increase and tempera-
ture will gradually; fuctustingly, fail till
close of month. From about IS to 80 the
fall in temperature will be very great, at
least 20 to 50 degrees and the last days
of January will be very cold. Very con-
siderable SHOWS will fall in northern
states last third OF January and rains
elsewhere This is good news for South
ern states as it will give good crop
weather for preparing the rice, cotton and
grain fields; it will also be good for
northern fields, invigorating them by al
good supply of ammonia and the life
giving electrical currents /
Soon after date of this bulletin will
come great rise in temperature and a |
January thaw that will not be gold for
winter wheat. A cold wave is due about
and the reaction to warmer viii be |
rapid. The twelve days, January 9 to !
40 inclusive, will average warmer than
usual. 5 z
For October, November and December
/ nsei my newly copied and recently
prepared records in calculating my fore
casts, and the results have been very
satisfactory. Chief Moore was cornpelI
ed to recall his "a hours in advance fore
casts more than once during December
because the weather came my way and
not his. He predicted severe and gen.
eral cold wave in the southern Missis-
sippi valleys for 28 A month before +
had said that it only would be a cooII
wave The newspapers said Chief
Moore's blizzard got lost.
n know very little about astrology; nv
work has no relation to it and friends of |
my forecasts will do favor BY correct
ing impressions that | have anything to-
do with it. Mine is the electrical system
OF foreeasting, because electricity is the
cause OF heat and motion in our atnos- /
phere and the movements of the earthI
and other plants around the sun, and the
moon around the earth causes the
changes in the earth5s electrical condi-I
ton.
