This disturbance will cover a period
of the greatest storms and earthquakes
Of the year and | again warn all. Earth
quakes are surely electrical and of the
same nature as cloudquakes or the thun-
derbOlt. We can not locate the earth
quakes but have a suspicion that they
may occur on the west coast of Mex
leo and i'll Italy,
| do not say that tornadoes will Oc-
cur during this period but advise all to
be on the alert for them, more partict1-
larly in the great central valleys along
the line of latitude 40. can not locate
these dangerous storms. 1t can do no
injury for al Ito be on the lookout for
these twisters. The dangerous period
covers April 26 to May with April
27, 28, 20 and 80 as being the days near
which the greatest disturbances will
probably occur.
Large sunspOts are expected to fOrnTi
on the central parts of the sun April 80
Eand during the following FIVE days drift
westward, or to the fight of the suns
center. Of course sunspots are related
to, but are not the causes, of our wealth
Ter events 1t will be of interest to
watch the news during that ten-day pc
riod, about great weather events, sun
spots and earthquakes.
May temperatures will average lower
than usual in northern sections between
latitudes 81 and 45 and between the
Missouri and Hudson rivers. Elsewhere
from about to above normal. Rainfall
for May will be below normal north of
latitude SO and along and east of a line
drawn from Winnipeg by way of Min
neapolis to St. Louis. Also dry near
the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico. Else
where rainfall of May will be from
about to above normal.
The warmest parts of May will in
clude to 8, 2I to 25, 80 to June 2. Very
WOOL near May II, 70 and ~. The most
severe storms and other radical weather
features OF May will occur from to g.
Crop weather of May for southern
states will be fair except too dry near
the southern coasts and in Cuba North
ern Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Ne
braska, Missouri, Iowa and the Dakotas
will have fair crop weather for that
month except too dry near the Platte
river. rom the Ohio river to the lakes
and from the Mississippi river and the
Winnipeg lakes to the Atlantic coast |
expect crop weather to be not of the
best quality. Indications are that tenn
peratures will be too low and rainfall
deficient.
