Washington, D. c., June 8.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent 9 to IS, warm wave
8 to II, cool wave II to IS. The next
disturbance will reach the Pacific coast
about Id, cross west of the Rockies by
close of IS, great central valleys I6 to
IS. eastern states 70. Warm wave will
cross west of the Rockies about ID, the
great central valleys 10, eastern states
IS. Cool wave will cross west of the
Rockies about n, great central valleys
Ie, eastern states 81.
This disturbance will come during a
very cool period in northern states and
Canada while temperatures will be rang
ing above normal in southern states, and
following it will come great hot wave
on all parts of the continent and danger
Gus storms The cool wave following
this disturbance will cause very low
temperatures generally and the rise in
Temperatures following that cool wave
will be so extreme as to make it one of
the notable weather events of the year.
From about June II onward the storm
forces will cause great evaporation re-
sulting in a sudden drying out of the
soil. particularly in those corn sections
that lie west of the Mississippi. Details
of the important weather events that
will come with the disturbance due on
meridian 90 about 2, will be given in
next bulletin
About and Immediately following
June very cool weather, but a warm
wave will come in by June II. A lit
tie earlier west of meridian 90 and a
little later east of that line. But the first
half of June will average below normal
northwest of line drawn from Santa
Fe by way of St. Joseph, Mo-, Burling-
ton, Iowa, and Chicago to Quebec; and
above normal southeast of that line !;
but last half of June temperatures will
average above. normal on all parts of the
continent
The planet Mars, anciently called the
God of War, will be a conspicuous OBJ
ject in the heavens for the next thirty
days. 1t may be seen well to the south
ward about midnight and can be distin-
guished from the other planets and the
stars by its reddish color That planet
is the immediate cause of the remark
able weather that has occurred during
the present year, and this | can demon
strate beyond doubt by the weather re-
cords of the past hundred years.
Beginning with August 1907 our plan
etary ship, on which we are sailing
around the sun and with the latter
through infinite space, will experience
unusual disturbances in the way of
storms and other extremes of weather;
land electric disturbances including
earthquakes. Tropical storms will at
tract attention in October and Novem-
Der.
My weather work is in better condi-
ton than in any of the past thirty years
of my experience with it. My clerical
force is all that | could ask, and my
financial support is ample for all pur-
poses. My weather and astronomical
records are in excellent condition: my
work is no longer ridiculed and I am
nearing completed system of meteor
ology that will cause sensation in the
scientific world.
The scientists and the public may be
impressed with the idea that have been
slow in perfecting my system of me-
teorology; but my excuse is the inn
mensity of the problem and the stub
born difficulties that require persistent
effort to overcome.
