Washington, D. C., June Io-Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent 70 to 23, warm wave
I8 to 22, cool wave p to rs. This dis
turbance was expected to bring severe
weather ON hte Pacific slope, to be pre-
cdded across the continetn by unusually
cool weather and to inaugurate a period
of moderately warm weather favorable
to growing crops where not too dry.
The next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about %, cross Pacific
slope by close of "a, great central val
leys IS to 27, eastern states 28. Warm
wave will cross Pacific slope about %,
great central valleys IS, eastern states
27. Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about 26, great central valleys 28, east
ern states ~. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about 26, great central val
leys 20, eastern states 80. These dates
are for the states and the Canadian
provinces. This disturbance will bring
warm weather and, where not too dry,
good crop weather. Storms will be
moderate till about 20, when their inten.
sites will increase and about July will
become radically severe | expect very
severe weather in eastern provinces and
northeastern states to follow June 20,
and quite similar weather events at the
same time on Pacific slope both in the
States and in British Columbia.
From Manitoba eastward through
the Canadian eastern provinces and in
our northeastern states unusually cool
weather will prevail following June rs
The disturbance near July I will be
continental and of unusual severity
Next bulletin will give additional par
ticulars about that disturbance and will
give general forecasts of July crop
weather Crop weather indications are
favorable to high prices for grain, but
as the great spectators have absolute
control of prices | warn all grain deal
ers to be cautious. The policy of the
great SPECTATORS is to take the other
side from the general tendency of prices
and usually their money has greater eff
feet than do the weather and crop con-
ditions. The safe plan for the farmer is
to sell at home when he can get fair
profits. If he undertake to ship grain
or live stock to the great markets the
speculators can run prices down before
he gets there.
THE GOD OF WAR.
The planet Mars was considered by
the ancients to have an influence over
the human race favorable to war and
hence its name. If that planet has any
such effect in stirring up the bad blood
of men and nations it will reach eli
max about September "a when it will be
at its nearest approach to the earth.
Mars reaches these close calls on the
earth about every seventeen years, and
during the two weeks of which Septenl-
Der "a will be the central day Will be
the most favorable time for observation
On September "a the earth will pass be-
tween the sun and Mars and at mid
night during those two weeks Mars will
be the most conspicuous orb in the
skies. Some of our great orthodox as
tronomers have suggested that while
Mars is SO close to the earth it might
be possible to communicate with the
people Of Mars if intelligent beings live
there. The plan of these great astron-
omers is to arrange great group of
mirrors SO they can be moved by ma
ehinery thereby throwing flashes of re-
fected sunlight similar to the daylight
signals used by our army and navy sig
nal codps.
