Washington, June 24.-Last bulle-
tin gave forecasts Of disturbance to
cross the continent % to 81, warm
wave % to 26, cool wave 25 to 90.
Severe local storms were expected
and predicted. Thunder storms
causing local rains usually result
from the forces that control that
storm period. Not far from June %
all disturbances will suddenly in
crease in force and dangerous
storms should be watched for.
That sudden increase in the storm
forces will have close relations to
great sunspots that will form on the
eastern side of the sun near June %.
| do not make sunspots the basis of
my weather forecasts. That field Of
predictions is occupied by Prof.
Ricard of Santa Clara, Cal. My effort
is to forecast the sunspots, while
Prof. Ricard forecasts the weather
after having observed the sunspOts.
Look for the sunspots June % and
then look out for storms. These
storms will break the drouth in
some places but not generally.
The next disturbance will reach
the Pacific coast about June 81,
cross the Pacific slope by close Of
q, great central valleys 90 to July
4, eastern sections 2. Warm wave
will cross the Pacific slope about
June 81, great central valleys 20, the
eastern sections July 1. Cool wave
will cross the Pacific slope about
June 80, great central valleys 2,
eastern sections 4.
This will be a severe disturbance
from the great central valleys east
ward and will cause heavy local
rains in small sections which can
not now be located, principally
thunder storms or electrical storms.
AS Jupiter will have much to do
with this disturbance no general
rains may be expected. That planet
seems to object to water. Following
this disturbance cool and dry may
be expected, as the cool wave passes.
About July 4 this storm will prob
ably be starting across the Atlantic
and will suddenly decrease in force.
The second disturbance of July
will reach the Pacific coast about
2, cross Pacific slope by close of 3,
great central valleys 4 to 6, eastern
sections 7. Warm wave will cross
Pacific slope about July 2, great
central valleys 4, eastern sections 6.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about July 5, great central valleys Z,
eastern sections 9.
This disturbance will have greater
force than usual and will be the
starter of another hot wave. But
many places will get showers as the
cool wave following comes in. These
showers will probably be extensive
and largely improve crop weather.
But greater and more extensive
rains are expected during the five
days centering on July 18.
About July earthquake countries
will probably get shakeup as the
forces that caused the recent earth
quakes in Mexico will again return
to the attack. / do not mean to say
that earthquakes will occur in Mex
leo at that time.
For the inhabited parts of North
America July will average a little
cooler than usual. The coolest part
will be the central states, the aver
age temperatures increasing as you
radiate away from that center. The
rainfall will be almost exactly op-
posite what it was for May and
June. Where those months gave
least rain July will give most, and
where they gave most July will give
least. Rains will be probable within
the five days centering on July 6, is,
and August 1. Most severe weather
will occur within the five days CEN
tering on June 81, July 4, 10 and
August 1.
F. w. Wagner & Co., prominent
grain dealers at Chicago, in their
weekly grain paper of June 10 said:
'The Wondrous Foster May and
June predictions have added enor-
mously to his army of admirers who
believe this famous Washingtonian
bathes in sunspots and runs code
with Jupiter PIuvius."
