Washington, D. c., Dec. Io,Last bulle-
| tin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent 13 to II, warm wave
Il to 10, cool wave IS to 10. This will
be of about medium force and tempera-
ture but less than usual rainfall. Not
much snow anywhere. The warm waves,
moving eastward, will cross meridian 90
about December 9, IS and 20, and the
cool waves IL, II, 23. Crop weather will
be favorable December 10 to II.
| Next disturbance will reach the Pa
cihc coast about II, cross Pacific slope
by close of Is, great central valleys 10
to Fl, eastern sections 22. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about II, great
central valleys 10, eastern states Fl. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about 20,
grea tcentral valleys 22, eastern sec
tions "a.
This disturbance will be an old fash
ioned storm breeder. That is what the
old hunters, sailors and North American
Indians would call it. The Indians were
great hunters and the weather was of
great importance to them, therefore they,
like the birds, learned by experience
many correct weather indications. This
disturbance will start a period of bad
winter storms that will continue into
| January, and will include some of the
most disagreeable storms and blizzards
of the winter.
The warm wave described above will
cause one of the highest temperature
periods of the month, and Immediately
following it will spread over the CONT
nent great cold wave which will be
| blizzard in northern sections. Shows will
fall in many northern sections, particu
larly in the Ohio valleys and about the
great lakes.
! This cold wave will be more severe
west of the Alleghenies than in eastern
sections and will probably not be of
much force on the Pacific slope. Prob
abilities are favorable to a genuine old
fashioned Texas norther not far from
December "a and the greater force of
the cold wave will affect the country
from Winnipeg to the Gulf of Mexico
between meridian 90 and the Rockies.
| / advise preparations for very bad
weather from about December 10 to 70
when a general freeze up will chill the
continent. Northern sections will get
Igood sleighing SHOWS and the boys can
prepare to hitch old Dobin to the sleigh.
Where the high winds do not uncover
the grounds the SHOWS will be good for
winter wheat
i I still advise those interested in grain
to wait A great and unusual railroad
stock pool, not well understood, has con-
Itro1led prices for two months and have
made a p1aything of grain prices. I do
not believe they will long continue in
control and therefore advise to wait
THE headquarters Of the stock pool is in
| London and some Of the parties that
were in the pool last summer-the one
that blew up-are in this one.
Do not be alarmed by election results
turning business upside down. Con-
gress will not be able to unite on any
thing and business will get a rest. The
big corporations cannot afford panic at
this time. The people are in bad humor
for a panic and such catastrophe at
this time might end in wiping the cor
porations out of existence I do not be-
lieve that these great forces will monkey
with the buzz saw at this time There
: was a time when the great forces could
safely speculate on panics but that
scheme has turned into a two-edged
: sword and is liable to cut the hand that
gives it motion. Let US not expect a
panic; there is no room for it on the
continent. Death should be the remedy
for those who organize panics.
. Saturn is morning star and Jupiter is
evening star. Mars will soon be one o1
the morning stars. The weather this
: month is controlled principally by Mars
: and Venus. Late in the month Mercury
and Saturn will come into the weather
problem. About December 20 sunspot:
will appear on the east and west sides
of the sun and furious storms will or
ganize on many parts of the earth. On
. January 10 the earth will pass between
: Neptune and the sun, but requires tel
escope to see Neptune.
