Washington, ID. c., March Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross Pacific slope 8 to ~, great cen
tlal valleys to IL, eastern states 12
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about II, cross Pacific slope ! y
close of 10, great central valleys II
to is, eastern states II. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about u, great
central valleys IA, eastern states 16.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about 10, great central valleys II,
eastern states 10.
This will be the most severe dis.
turbance CT the month aud one of the
most dangerous storms of the year.
| warn all my readers to be on the
alert during the time have indicated
for the passages of this disturbance
across the continent; that is from
March 10 to 10.
| will not undertake to say where
the worst of these storms will occur.
AT most these dangerous storms do
not reach more than one locality out
of hundred and it is not practicable,
at this time. to point out the compare
lively few localities that will suffer.
But many lives and much property
may be saved and suffering and great
Inconvenience avoided by taking heed
Of this timely warning.
This great disturbance will reach
its central point on March q and the
greatest effects usually occur within
two days, usually before the epoch is
reached. But at rare intervals the
break occurs three to five day away.
The best advice now practicable is to
keep informed of the location of the
low or storm center then moving east
ward across the continent. The dang
err point will be two hundred te three
hundred miles southeast OF the center
Of that low or storm center.
Tonadoes may not occur during the
passage of that storm but advise all
70 be thoroughly prepared for sucn
events. When the low, or storm CEN
ter, is 500 to 800 miles northwest OF
you the school children will be safer
in the cellar than in a crowded school
room. Saturday and Sunday, If and
Is, the schools will be closed From
is to 10 all should be on the watch
and take no risks. The weather bu-
reau can and should publish full re-
ports of the weather conditions dur
ing those dangerous days.
The old school meteorologists will
ridicule these forecasts but my readers
will remember that my mistakes sell
dom occur on that kind of forecasts.
My forecasts as to the force of the
storms are at least so per cent good.
All those who have carefully read my
storm forecasts for years past will get
ready for rough weather March 19 10
20.
The equinoXes alone never cause
any dangerous storms but when these |
equinoXes are reinforced by a large |
number of planets magnetically con-
Meeting with this celestial dynamo |
then and only then may we fear great
storms near the equinoXes. Some |
times the intense magnetic strain is
relieved by a great earthquake and |
then the storms become less severe.
Immediately following March 7 |
wave of high temperatures. moving
eastward, will cross meridian 80 and
following it cold wave with rains
south and SHOWS uorth.
During March the three planets. Ven
is, Mars and Jupiter will be visible dur
ng evenings. Venus apparently near
sst the sun, Mars next and Jupiter
artherest. About the dates given for
he great storms all the planets save
me, also the moon, will be magnet
C equator, will connect with the sun.
