JULY WILL Be COOL
PROF. FOSTER DOES NOT LOOK
FOR ANY WARM WEATHER
DURING THIS MONTH
Burlington in the Line of the July
Drouth Center-Just Like BurIIna-
ton to be in acknowledgements
is the Thing, Says the Professor.

Some unusually cool weather, no
very hot weather and quite a little
more drouth than rain is what Prof.
Foster forecasts for the coming days
OF July. The hottest weather will be
around July %. According to the pro-
lessor, magnetism is hot stuff, in fact
its just about the whole business in
this world. Heat, considered the basic
principle of all the sciences related to
physical forces. is merely one little
form of the manifestation of magne-
tism. Magnetism is it, and the sooner
scientists in general recognize this fact
the better for them.
In detail Prof. Foster has the follow
ing to say in his latest bulletin:
Washington, D. c., July Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbances
to cross continent to Z, warm wave 2
to 6, cool wave to 9. Next disturb
ances will reach Pacific coast about 9,
cross west Of Rockies country by close
of TO- great central valleys II to 10,
eastern states Ia. Warm wave will
cross west Of Rockies about 8, great
central valleys IL, eastern states, 10.
Cool wave will cross west Of Rockies
about IL, great central valleys IA, east
ern states 16.
This disturbance will follow great
fall in temperature and its warm wave
will not cause very hot weather; while
just before and after the storm center
passes unusually cool weather will pre-
vail. Highest temperatures of the year
are usually due tbout the time this
storm center should be In the great

weather instead. My last bulletin
stated that the hot waves of July would
come not far from and %.
Some rains may be expected to &C.
company this disturbance from to Ia
but am not expecting much rain with
| in the July drouth sections heretofore
described, more definitely bounded by
a line beginning at Houston, Texas,
then by way of Dodge City, st. Joseph,
Burlington, Chicago, Cincinnati, At
lanta, Charleston, Jacksonville, Key

Within that circle expect crops to be
damaged by the July drouth while out.
side of it rainfall will be from about to
above normal.
wind disturbances of July will reach
Pacific coast about A. cross west OF
Rockies country by close of Is, great
central valleys 16 to IS, eastern states
49, Warm wave will cross west OF
Rockies about IA, great central valleys
| Is, eastern states 18. Cool wave will
cross west of Rockies country about II
great central valleys 10, eastern states
81.
"The important feature of this dis
turbance will be the recovery from the
unusually cool weather, an approach
toward the hottest and dryest weather
of the month and the alarming drouth
conditions within the drouth sections
above described. Hotter and dryer will
be the rule from IA to g. The most
severe storms within the dates OF
these two disturbances may be expect
ed to IL.
Science Notes.
Magnetism is the immediate cause OF
weather changes and the changing rel
alive positions of the sun, earth, moon
and major planets cause the changes in
the earth's magnetism. Heat is now
made the basis of all the sciences that
are related to the physical forces. This
must be changed and magnetism rec
ognized as the cause; then, not before
will these sciences make rapid prog
ress. Magnetism must also be recog
nized as base in plant life and there
fore in agriculture"
