Washington, D. c., Jan. I4-Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance tc
cross the continent IS to p, warm wave
u to 81, cool wave 20 to "a. This will
be radical disturbance and will inau-
gurate ten days period of severe
weather. Temperatures will go very
high and for ten days following the ten
dcncy will be downward with increasing
precipitation.
The next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about p, cross the Pacific
slope by close Of 20, great central valleys
a to 20, eastern sections ~. Warm
wave will cross the Pacific slope about
p, great central valleys "a, eastern sec
tions 20 Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about rs, great central valleys ~,
eastern sections 20.
Temperatures of this disturbance will
not go so high as in the one preceding,
while they will go much lower in the
cold wave that will follow Rains will
largely increase in the Ohio valleys and
all along line from Cairo to Philadel-
phia. These will be fierce winter storms
but not of such great force as those that
came in during the first week of the
month.
January will close with shortage of
moisture west of meridian 90 and also
IN the southeastern states and Cuba A
severe drouth will be in progress in
Cuba and thereby early vegetables and
fruits will be damaged. Moisture will
also be deficient in the New England
States
1t is time to begin taking account of
the moisture that is to affect the crops
of 1911, and it will be noticed that a
very considerable deficiency will prevail
except along the general line of the
Ohio river terminating in eastern Penn
sylvan1a where excessive rains and
SHOWS will have filled the soil with wa
ter. These excessive rains are booked
to reach the vicinity of Washington.
Sunspots are expected on the western
side of the sun about February 3 and
the force of the storms will increase at
the same time Sunspots and great
storms were predicted for the week cen
tering on January I. Small spots are
expected about January 10, February 3
and March 8 will be important dates
for sunspots, earthquakes and great
storms
The scientist who can not see that
electricity is a most important cause of
weather changes, sunspots and earth
quakes is surely short of sight. The sun,
moon, earth and planets are great mag
nets and as they are constantly in mo-
ton they constantly affect each other
through their electric forces. Electric
ity and magnetism can not be separated,
and when we mention one, the other of
course is included.
There is no end to space and all space
is filled with very fine matter called
ether This matter has always existed
and it always has been endowed with
that nature which causes every little
particle of it to attract every other par
ticle, and we call that attribute the at
tractioi of gravitation. The smallest
particle Of the ether is electrically or
ganized as completely as are our earth
and sun, the only material difference be-
ing in size.
The sun, the earth, the smallest par
ticle of the ether send out electric cur
rents to their near neighbors and cir
cling around these electric currents the
spiral returns to the body that
sends eft out. That magnetic spiral is
the pull, the attraction of gravitation,
and is really push. These electric feel
ers are the feeders by which live bodies
Of matter, that is electrically alive,
gather in and consolidate the ether into
meteors, aero1ites, comets,
asteroids, planets, moons, suns and the
coal sack electromagnetic centers of
the universe.
The word matter must be understood
to include the ether, magnetic, electric
ity gases, solids, being the same mate
rial in different degrees of consolidation
The general movement of this matter in
its various processes of consolidation is
inward toward the sun but back and
forth fluctuations occur.
