FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington, Oct. Copyrighted,
1911, by w. T. Foster Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
continent October 30 to November 2.
warm wave 2Sth to November |, cool
wave 31st to. November 6. Severe
weather has been expected to result
from this disturbance with tempera-
lures below the normal for a few
days preceding the warm wave. Thea
a great warm wave will spread over
the country and become continental
in extent. This will lie an important
feature in crop weather. particularly
in respect TO winter grain.
The great worldwide disturbance,
extensively advertised in my bulletins
to occur from October - to 90 was
all claimed it would be and included
sun spots, severe wind and transforms,
tornadoes, hurricanes and numerous
earthquakes. When | publish my sys-
TEN of meteorology the causes of that
great disturbance will be fully eX-
planned and demonstrated
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about November 3, cross Pacific
slope by close of 9th, great central
valleys 18th to 9TH, eastern sections
Sth Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about November 3, great CEN
trail valleys 9TH, eastern sections 18th.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about November 6, great central val
leys Sth, eastern sections 10TH
This disturbance will continue the
high temperatures and stormy wealth
er with mere than usual rain. Most oC
the rainfall is expected from Cairo to
s., Paul, from St Louis to Omaha in
tSe Chic valleys and about the great
lakes west Of Buffalo. All weather fea-
lures of this disturbance will be of
greater than usual intensity and the
forces will be at their greatest from
November > to 9. The cool wave of
this disturbance will end the warm
period and from November to rs
frosts will probably kill a consider
able part Of growing cotton. The cool
wave expected to be near meridian
80, November Is. will probably put an
end to much of the remaining top cot
ton growth,
| ask readers of these bulletins to
note disturbances that are expected
during the five days, November % t.
26, inclusive. At that time | expect
sun spots on central parts of the sun,
earthquakes which | shall not try to
locate. electric storms that will dis
turb telephones and telegraph can
not say at what place-and that the
of all weather features will
largely increase.
| am willing to take the RESPONSE |
bility of making this forecast, and
shall request the Santa Clara CCalO !
astronomical, meteorological and seis |
mic observatory to report the results !
Of its observations for that five-day |
period.
We are living in an age noted for
he prOgressiyes it is producing. In |
all lines our race is intensively ac- /
tive; so much is this the case that
history gives no account of anything |
IN the past that will compare with it, |
The white race has broken away from
the letters that bound it during the |
lark ages and the wonderful adyace7 /
If the last twenty years indicate r"r,
we are making up for lost time.
The experiments with radium and !
other radioactive minerals are turning /

Upside down and inside out In as ,
ronomy the great telescopes are de

While the spectrum analysis and the
are upsetting old beliefs .
about matter and physics.
May suggest that meteorology is
lear great epoch and that its pro
ressives may not long remain in the
ear ranks. The writer fully believes
hat our race has more of real benefit
o hope for from maeoology than
rom any or all other divisions of the
human activities Meteorology is no.
low, in the universities, clas5ed as
cience. I believe that it will soon alb
orb astro-physics and become the
orner-stone of that structure that EN-
races all the sciences.
