Be Regarded as Good.

Washington, Nov. li-Last bulle-
TN gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent Nov. Q to i3,
warm wave / to Is. Preceding this
disturbance the temperatures were
expected to be moderate and at no
time go to high points, but following
1t Will come a cold wave north of
latitude 30. FrOsts will reach the
cotton belt. Rains will be frequent
and more than usual rain will fall
and for winter grain the crop
weather will be regarded as good
The next disturbance will reach
the Pacific coast about Nov. i3. cross
Pacific slope by close of II, great
central valleys - to Il, eastern sec
lions Is. Warm wave will cross the
Pacific slope about Nov. Is, great
central valleys 10, eastern sections
II. Cool wave will cross the Pacific
slope about Nov. is. great central
valleys iS, eastern sections 20.
This will bring a great rise in
temperatures, the rains will cease
and not much cloudy weather may
be expected. This will be good
time for farm work and other out
door affairs, hunting and other
sports. Weather will be threaten
ing with some rain or snow as the
cool wave comes in.
Another disturbance will reach
the Pacific coast about Nov. i9,
cross Pacific slope by close of 20,
great central valleys 2l to %, east
ern sections 81. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about Nov. f9,
great central valleys 81, eastern sec
tions %. Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about Nov. i9. great central
valleys 81. eastern sections %. Cool
wave vii lcross Pacific slope about
Nov. p. great central valleys q. and
eastern sections 2G.
This will be an important disturb
ance in many ways. Temperatures
will go very high and will be fol-
lowed by cold wave that will go
far down into the cotton states and
very much cotton plants will be laid
to rest. Rainfall will increase as the
warm wave comes in and not much
rs1 in m l,a
in.
Sunspots will be seen sOn central
parts of the sun Nov. % to 25 and
those who calculate the weather
from the sunspot dates will expect
severe storms during the five days
of Nov. % TO 26 on the continent. A
tropical storm is expected to organ
ize not far from latitude north 80
and east of the Caribbean sea near
Nov. 20 and continue its meander-
ings in the Caribbean and Mexican
seas to near the close of the month
That tropical storm is expected as a
counterpart of, and will come from
the same general causes, as the sun
spots predicted
As see it, sunspots are the same
kind Of storms on the sun as the
hurricanes and cold waves on our
earth. Nature is uniform in its laws
of storms and much may be learned
about the causes of our weather
changes by studying the sunspots.
Prof. Ricard, director Of the Santa
Clara. California, observatory, is the
present authority as to the relations
of sunspots and weather. DR.. Wee
der, who was a professor in the uni
Nersity at Lyons, near Rochester, n.
y, was, years ago, the active inves-
tigator and authority on the relation
of sunspots and our weather. DR..
Veeder is still living at Lyons, N. Y.
The drift of the worlds scientists
is toward sunspots as the cause of
our weather changes. The Smithson-
ian Institution and the United States
Weather Bureau are working in
harmony in their Investigations of
the sun and sunspots as the cause.
Ny work includes sunspots as one
of the planetary effects but the
methods of investigation adopted by
government scientists / can not en-
dorse and therefore we cannot work
together.
