Washington, May I4.-Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
the continent 10 to 20, warm wave IS to
10, cool wave Is to p. This disturb
ance was expected to average cooler
than usual, the cool wave causing very
low temperatures with frosts in north
ern sections. Winter wheat will be near
heading and blooming, and this threat
ening of frosts will probably be used by
spectators to boom wheat prices, but it
will probably be all scare and no dam
age. Tender plants in northern sections
should be protected.
Next disturbance will reach the Pa
cifc coast about Fl, cross northern Pa
cihc slope by close of p, great central
valleys 20 to rs, eastern sections 20,
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about 2I, great central valleys 20, east
ern sections rs. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about "a, great central val
leys 20, eastern states 2S.
This will be the storm of the month.
Not much can be lost by taking little
of your time in precautions Better
prepare for dangerous storms twenty
times and see none than to get caught
one time with chances of injury to per-
son or property.
Oh no, the comet will have nothing to
do with it, although It is claimed that
our earth will pass through its tail on
May rs, Mercury, the moon and Venus
will form an alliance against our earth
and sting. it as the electric fish sting
their neighbors that come near them.
The moon will be eclipsed about mid
night. of May 1894, beginning near 9
pm, of May 70. In this the moon will
pass through the electric force that goes
from the sun through the earth and
causes low tides under the moon and
under the sun. This causes an electric
disturbance which is the cause of storms.
Mercury viii pass between the earth
and sun about that time and its posi-
ton will be such as always causes an
increase Of the storm forces. Venus will
be in touch with the earth.
These conditions will first cause a
wave of very low temperatures that will
cross the continent from IS to ~, then
great rise in temperatures. Within "a
hours of sunset the weather features all
around the earth will become tense and
greatly increase in all respects.
At such times in all places that lie
between the storms the sky becomes in
tensely blue, no cloud in sight, because
they are all gone to the storm centers
where dangerous storms are forming.
These storms will probably form near
longitude s. which passes through the
Ohio valleys, and near I3o out on the
Pacific, and near 40 which is near the
middle of the Atlantic. They then drift
eastward at the rate of about Goo miles
a day being pulled north or south by
the influences of the moon.
Next bulletin will give general fore
casts of June crop weather and as the
weather of that month will determine
what the oats and winter wheat and hay
crops are to. Be, the forecasts will be
very important. By that time farmers
will have sold about all the old grain
they will sell before they know what the
1910 crops are to be.
The great SPECTATORS will also have
completed their bear campaign on the
grain prices and will be. ready to take
advantage of any damaging crop reports
that may come from bad crop weather.
