Weather Prophet at Washington
Dopes Up the Disturbance of the
Elements for the Next Month Eos
ter Will Improve System.

Foster, the weather man at Wash
ington, who has been responsible for
the various kinds OF disagreeable
weather which has been experienced
SO Gar this spring does not hold out
any great degree of hope for any kind
of settled weather for the remainder
of the spring. Cold and hot waves
will alternate during the last part of
this month and also the first part OF
the month of June, which are expected
to be of remarkable intenseness. A
dangerous drought is promised for the
latter part of June, which, If it comes
will probably assist the cold weather
of the spring in killing grain and other
things which managed to get some
kind of a start in spite of the cold
weather of the spring. The following
is Fosters prediction in FULL
Washington, D. c., May 25.--Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
| to cross continent 26 to 30, warm wave
% to 20, cool wave % to June /,
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about June 2, cross west of
| Rockies country by close of 8, great
| Z Warm wave will cross west of
Rockies about 2, great central valleys
4, eastern states 6. Cool wave will
cross west of Rockies about 5, great
central valleys Z, eastern states 8.
All the disturbances of June will
develop greater than usual energy or
Intensity. A peculiar feature will be
that southern sections, particularly
southwest parts of the great central
valleys, will have temperatures in
June averaging much above normal
while in the southeast and northwest
sections temperatures will average
about normal.
The disturbance above described
will be of more than usual force in
all it's weather features. Probabilities
favor severe weather during the en-
tire passage of the high and low of
this disturbance across the continent
The last half of. June will inaugur-
ate dangerous drouth In some Sec
tons and very high temperatures on
all parts of the continent. A danger
period will occur from June % to 80,
about and following great hot wave.
Better prepare to take rest about
that time and watch the elements.
The dangerous features of this great
u storm wave will probably miss your
locality but they will not miss all sec
:, tions. The disturbance will affect all
sections but at what particular place
1t will suddenly reach It's greatest in
tensities will not undertake., at this
time, to Indicate

that another friend, of ample means,
has come to my aid financially and is
furnishing all the money | need for
the purpose of fully developing and
perfecting my system of forecasting
. the weather This Is the third friend
of my work who has come to my fin
ancial aid and while the first two
were quite limited the third Is giving
all necessary financial assistance.
