Washington. D. c.. March I5.-I.ast
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent 10 to II, warm wave
Q to I,,, cool wave /. to 10. This dis
turbancc was expected to cause great
rise III temperatures, 4 warm wave OF
short duration and rapid eastward drift
and be followed by a cold wave i'll the
northern states and q cool wave III the
southern states The iutcnSlticS OF all
the weather features Of this disturbance
was expected to be greater than usual.
Severe storms are probable about or
following March 49,
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about IS. cross Pacific slope by
close of 10. great central valleys Il to
10. eastern states 20 Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about =. great CEN
tral valleys II. eastern states 70. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about rs,
great central valleys 20, eastern states
u This disturbance will inaugurate
a long period of unusually warm wealth
cr. good crop weather. but III a few 10
caities the storms will be severe Not
much rain and very little snow any
where on the continent. Not much cold
weather anywhere for balance Of March,
The traditional equinoctial storms
will come during the passage OF this
disturbance across the continent. The
eql1inoctial storms are very much mis-
understood, and orthodox scientists
seem determined they shall not be I'M
dcrstood.
The March equinoxes occur about 20
to 22 and the records indicate unusual
activities about that time i'll the worlds
magnetic forces. These magnetic activ
tiles are favorable to severe storms,
which. about that time, may be called
equinoctial.
But this increased force of the storms
will not occur everywhere. Storm cen
ters, on March Fl. will be moving east
ward across the continent and the i'll
creased equinoctial forces will take ef-
feet wherever those storm centers may
be located and not at other localities.
My calculations say there will be two
storm waves on the continent March
Fl. one of these in the eastern states
and on Pacific slope. and | say that
these storms. wherever they may be OH
March Fl. will greatly increase in force
within one day of that date Watch it
and Judge for yourself.
Not because it will be the equinoctial
day but because the Moon and the plan
cts Jupiter, Mars and Mercury will be
located so as to greatly increase the
eartf's magnetic activities on that day.
In other words. these planetary posi-
tions may be such as to add most to the
earth's equinoctial forces at any time
from March IA to % and therefore the
equnoctial storms may occur i'll other
years at any time during those two
weeks. but this year they will occur on
March 81 and probably on Pacific slope
and in eastern states and eastern prov
inces
| am expecting a drouth in part Of the
United States that will somewhat at
feet crops. These bulletins will contain
forecasts of that dro,lth.
