Washington, D. O., Oct. N-My Sast
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross the continent to 6, warm wave
1 to $, cool wave 4 to 8. This disturb
ance was expected to cause radical
weather on the Pacific slope first days
of October, the weather features grow
ing milder as it neared the Atlantic
coast. Frosts were expected in eastern
provinces and northeastern states first
few days of the month.
Next disturbance will reach the Pa
cifc coast about 8, cross Pacific slope by
close of 9, great central valleys 10 to
"a, eastern states IS, Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about 8, great cen
tral valleys 10, eastern states and prov
Iinces IL. Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about II, great central valleys IS,
eastern states and provinces IS.
, The disturbance will be of great force
and very dangerout on land and sea. Il
will be mild on the Pacific slope about
I8, begin to grow more fierce in the
great central valleys about 10 and be-
come furious storm in the eastern
states and provinces about II. Abou
latter date next incoming disturbance
will be a storm of great force on th'
Pacific slope. Between II and IS hur
ricane will organize on the Caribbean
sea and will probably be in the seas of
our southern coasts from five to tel
days. That hurricane, about the time i
turns to a northeastern course, will in
duce a great cold wave west of Mani
> tobo and that cold wave will cause kill
ing frosts over the great central valley
far down into the cotton belt.
A cold wave will follow this disturb
ance. | would expect it to reach Mani
toba October II, and the states fe,
days later, but its time depends on tn
! movements of the great gulf hurricane
(. While the hurricanes move in a westerl
direction, the cold waves do not com
southwark but begin their southeastern
march about the time the hurricane
n turn toward the northeast
A great fall in temperatures and

The time is not far away when tt
