FROST FOR THE OPENING
UP OF SEPTEMBER
VIII Also Have a Warm Wave In the
Month Of August the Dryest Yet
Last Prediction Was True-science
Notes.

For those who have been painting
with the heat for the past several
weeks, it will probably be good news
to learn that Foster, the weather man,
has predicted cool wave disturbance
for the central portion of the country,
which will occur from the 18th to the
18th.
Frost is predicted for the opening up
of the month of September. The fol-
lowing is this weeks forecast:
Washington, D. c., Aug. 1.-THE
last bulletin gave forecasts of dis
turbance to cross the continent from
the 9th to the 18th, warm wave from
9Th to 18th, cool wave 18th to 18TH
The next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about the 18th, cross
west of the Rockies country by close
of the 18th, great central valleys, 10
to II, eastern states 10. Warm wave
will cross west of the Rockies about
the 18th, great central valleys 18th,
eastern states 18th. Cool wave will
cross west of Rockies about the 10th.
great central valleys 18th, eastern
states goth.
This disturbance will follow one of

lowing it will come some of the hottest
days and driest weather of the month.
1t will not be severe disturbance on
the Pacific slope, but will begin to in
crease in force as it passes off the At,
lantic coast and will become a severe
storm out on the north Atlantic.
Fifth Disturbance.
The fifth disturbance of August will
reach the Pacific coast about the 18th
cross west of the Rockies country by
close of the 10Th, great central val,
leys goth to 22d, eastern states 23d.
Warn wave will cross west of Rockies
country about the 18th, great central
valleys Goth, eastern states 22d. Cool
wave will cross west of Rockies abou.
the 21st. great central valleys 23d,
eastern states 25th.
This disturbance will be moderate on
Pacific coast, will increase in force Is
1t crosses the Rockies and will be a
fierce storm in the central valleys and
the eastern states. Temperatures #
this disturbance will average high,
heavy rains in small sections and in
creasing drouth in parts of the corn
belt.
Frost for September.
am expecting frost the first days
of September where they sometimes
occur at that season. My forecasts
predicted more rain in eastern and
southern than in the corn belt states
for the crop season of 1906, and the
prediction was good.
Science Notes.
There are some infinities; space IS
one of them. There is no end to
space; it has no boundaries, but ex-
tends, infinitely in all directions. It
was not created, had no beginning, be-
cause it always existed. Therein are
a set of truths, possibly the only
truths, on which there are no dissen.
sions. Scientists claim that matter is
co-extensive with space and this, too,
is SO universally admitted that it may
be classed with the infinites
The scientists claim that matter, in
some of it's forms, always existed and
therefore was not created There is
where the ways begin to part. If eth
er the word formed or made" could
be substituted for the word created, .
much controversy might be avoided
We make Of form house out of a
tree and clay, but we first change the
tree to lumber and the clay to brick.
The scientist says that nature forms
all things out Of the ether by first
changing the ether into some other
and coarser form of matter. If we
would all have little more charity a
basis might be found for a general
agreement
