INGToN SEES NOTHING BUT
ILL FROM NOW ON
Says He Cannot Promise Good Wealth
er After Today-PredIcts Blizzard or
Fierce Winter Storms for Novem-
Der 29-This Weeks Bulletin.

Nothing good after today in the
November weather. Today is the last
day Of grace. In regard to any sub
sequent date during this entire month
Prof. Foster OF Washington, D. G. can
have nothings but evil forebodings
Another fierce winter storm or biz
gard is predicted for November 90.
Whether or not this is delayed edi-
ton of the one prophesied for about
this time, Which has not come yet,
by the way, Mr.. Foster does not state.
The BunetIn.
This weeks weather bulletin is
short, SO read it for yourself. 1t reads
as follows:
Last bulletin gave forecast of dis.
turbance to cross continent Nov. Is
to 10, warm wave la to 10, cool wave
II to 81. Next disturbance will reach
r,cific coast about 10, cross west of
Rockies country by close of 20, great
central valleys 81 to %, eastern states
"a. Warm wave will cross west of
Rockies country about 10. great cen
trail valleys 81, eastern states %. Cool
wave will cross west of Rockies coun-
try about a. great central valleys 81,
eastern states 26.
This disturbance will be Of more
than usual force and temperatures of
the 5-day period will average lower
than usual. Not far from Nov. II
the atmospheric elements will seem
to be animated by forces of increased
vigor and this condition always brings
colder and more unpleasant weather
in the winter season. Following Nov.
II cannot promise anything good
IN the weather line during che balance
of the month
Sixth disturbance Of November will
reach Pacific coast about "a, cross
west Of Rockies country by close Of
%, great central valleys rs to %, east
ern states 20. Warm wave will cross
west of Rockies country about "a,
great central valleys 26, eastern states
3d. Cool wave will cross west CT
Rockies about 81. great central val
leys 20, eastern states December 1.
This disturbance will be much like
the one preceding it till after it shall
have crossed Meridian 90, moving east
ward. About Nov 20, as this disturb
ance approaches the eastern states,
and provinces and when the disturb
ance following will be on the Pacific
slope, all weather events wherever
located all around the earth, will
greatly increase in intensity. The
warm waves will bring very much
higher temperatures than are expect
ed from the preceding warm wave.
The cold wave that is expected to
reach meridian 80 near Nov. 20, will
by a fierce winter storm and blizzard.
Next bulletin, will give general
forecast of the principal December
weather events and forecast in de-
tail of the first weather event in that
month.
Look eastward after sunset and you
will see the king of our planetary sys-
TEN, Jupiter. The earth is going to.
ward him. Beyond Jupiter is Nep-
tune. Look westward Just after sun
set and you will see the queen of our
solar system, Venus. Beyond her Is
the fleet footed planet Mercury, COM
ing this way. These four planets will
have much to do with our weather
to the end Of December
science Notes.
America and Europe are expecting
an announcement from the u. S.
Weather bureau, giving the basis of
and system for long range weather
forecasts. The chief Oh the weather
bureau has publicly promised this and
tne people generally will be sorely dis
appointed if he fails to make his
promise good.
All meteorlogists are deeply inter-
ested in this matter because, If it sue
ceeds, 1t will make demand for
scientists who are experts as to the
physical forces.
The professors now in the weather
bureau are trained to short range fore
casting and will be needed in that
