FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
THE NEXT DISTURBANCE
Will Develop Greater Than Usual In
tensity or Energy-Dangerous Drouth
Will Prevail in Some Sections-High
Temperatures Over the Continent.

Washington, D. c., May 25.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent 26 to 80, warm wave
IS to 20, cool wave 2S to June 1. The
next disturbance will reach the Pacific
coast about June ?. cross west of tie

central valleys 4 to 6, eastern states !.
Warm wave will cross west of Rockies
about ?. the great central valleys A. east
ern states g. Cool wave will cross west
of the Rockies about 5, great central
valleys 7, eastern states O.
All te disturbances of June will de-
velop greater than usual energy or in
tensity. A peculiar feature will be that
southern sections, particularly south
west parts of the great central valleys,
will have temperatures in June averag-
ing much above normal while in TIL,
southeast and northwest sections tenn
peratures will average about normal.
The disturbance above described will
be of more than usual force in all its
weater features. Probabilities favor Sc
we're weather during the entire passage
of the high and low of this disturbance
across the continent
The last half of June will inaugurate
d dangerous drouth in some sections and
very high temperatures on all parts Of
the continent. A danger period will oc-
CUR from June 23 to 80, about and fol
lowing a great hot wave. Better pre-
pare to take rest about that time and
watch the elements. The dangerous
features of this great storm wave will
probably miss your locality but they
will not miss all sections The disturb

UNION SLAUGHTER HOUSE
An Explanation on the Part of the
Board Of Health.

The Caucasian was complimented yes
terday by call from Dr. Ashton Blan-
cfard, president of the Board of Health,
who explained the necessity of an Union
Slaughter House, as contemplated by an
ordinance pending in the City Council.
As stated by DIR. Blanchard, twenty-five
per cent of the meat consumed II
Shreveport is slaughtered in pens in
this parish. some being nine miles from
the corporate limits of the city, and as
these pens are isolated it is rot possible
for the Inspector to inspect the animals
before slaughtering.
The purpose of the Union Slaughter
House as explained by DIR. Blanchard
is to concentrate all cattle to be slaugh-
tered for market in the slaughter house
which is to be under the care and super
vision of the inspector and it will then
be impossible for any diseased animal
to be sold to consumers.
1t has been estimated that the revenue
from the slaughter house will aggregate
SI5o a month. which will be more than
sufficient to defray all the expenses
connected with the slaughtering and in
Guiding the salary OF the Inspector
DR.. Blanchard gave assurance that no
job was to be provided for any one and
that as the Inspector will not have to
travel over long distances to reach in
termediate private slaughter pens, that
te inspectors fees may be reduced. At
least he could afford to inspect for re-
|duced salary.
The Importance of safeguarding the
public against meat which is unfit for
consumption can not be minirnized.
Health is better than wealth. and if all,
say only one-half of that which is prom
ised as advantages to accrue to the dear
people from the Union Slaughter House
The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1907-05-26

then its construction should be hastened
Immediately.
There is feature, however, which
should receive the closest attention, and
that is the kind of cattle slaughtered,
even if it be free from every taint of
diseases. There have been sold to con-
sumers cattle which while healthy have
been from appearances as poor as Jobs
turkey 1t would scarcely be profitable
or desirable to have that kind of cattle
slaughtered The cattle which fail to
measure up to requirements should be
excluded from sale to consumers no
matter by whom Or where slaughtered.

THE COW PEA.

Webster Signal: The COW pea is worth
its weight in gold for more reasons than
one, and grows to perfection on most
any kind of soil in the South. Unfor-
tunately few farmers appreciate their
value until tey go to buy seed and find
that they are three dollars per bushel
and are hard to get at that.

with the sun, and Mars is nearer the
earth than for fifteen years These re-
lat1ons cause an increased magnetic ac-
tlvlty, the latter causes extremes of tenn
perature, one of these extremes having
occurred in April and the other will
come in june.
These causes also have some relations
to the tornadoes and other radical
weather events and also a relation to
sunspots and earthquakes.

WHAT THE CAUSE
AN EXPLANATION BY WEATHER
FORECASTER FOSTER.
MOVEMENTS OF PLANETS
Jupiter Is Now Forty Million Miles
Nearer the Sun Than 1t Was Six
Years Ago-Their Relation to the
Earth Increased Magnetic Activity.

Mr. J. L. Waite, editor-in-chief of the
Burlington Qowa) Hakw-Eye, one Of
the leading daily papers of the middle
west, writes me as follows:
That was most excellent record of
forecasts you made for April. Few
people believed we would have such a
cold stormy April. l am afraid yoir
other predictions is going to come true
that we will not have as good crops this
year as for several years past. 1t would
interest the public very much if you
could tell them upon what basis you
made the forecast What were the con-
ditions which brought about these re
suits, SO different from what they were
last year, Congratulating you upon
your success, | am, etc.
AS | see it the planet Mars is the i'm
mediate cause For the past three
months the earth has been moving rap
idly toward that planet and this ap-
proach of the two planets caused the
electric forces and the magnetic system
of the earth to be excited.
My theory is that the planets are great
magnets, and the great magnetician,
Clerk Maxwell, demonstrated that two
natural magnets caused to approach
each other, break tip Or change the mag
netic systems of each other. As | see
it the electrical currents and their ac-
companying magnetic spirals, operating
at right angles to those currents, con-
stitute the forces that dominate in the
highs and lows, these currents being
connected with the earth's magnetic
poles and the latter with the magnetic
systems of the sun, moon and other
planets.
The moon has very weak magnetic
system, so much so that the earth's mag
netic system dominates, causing the
moon to be as block of copper is to
a magnet. Move the magnet toward the
copper and magnetic currents are set UP
in the latter Move the magnet away
from the copper and currents are set up
in the latter in the opposite direction.
Therefore when the earth receives an
electric charge from planet that
charge overhoWs to the moon at the
first magnetic connection between the
earth and moon Then, when the earth
loses its overcharge to the sun or to a
planet, the moon, in order to keep up
the magnetic equilibrium, enpties into
the earth at the next magnetic connec
ton. The moon, therefore, is a nett
trail body, an electro-dynamo, and acts
as an overflow reservoir for the earth,
having somewhat the relation of gov
ernor to an engine.
The giant of the worlds, the great
planet Jupiter, is now forty million
miles nearer the sun than it was six
years ago; Saturn is at its equinox
where it forms its magnetic connection
