FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington, Oct. 26.-(Copyrighted,
1912, by w. T. Foster.) LAST bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
continent October 20 to 30, warm
wave oath to 2Sth, cool wave 9th to
Both. The storms OF this disturbance
will not be very severe, but OF more
than average energy; temperatures
will average about or a little below
the usual, but no great cold wave is
expected. Not much rainfall for bal
ance of October.
The principal rains for the past five
months have been in the northern
states and Canada with less rain in
southern states and border states. Be
ginning with November the rain belt
is expected to shift to northern states
of South America while their southern
states, during next five months, will
have crop weather very much like our
southern states had during the past
crop season. We will have much less
precipitation during the next five
months than we have had the past
five.
Next disturbance VIII reach Pacific
coast about October 20, cross Pacific
slope by close of goth, great central
valleys 3fst to November 2, eastern
sections November ). Warm wave
win cross Pacific slope about October
20, great central valleys 31st, eastern
sections November 2. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about November l,
great central valleys Sd, eastern sec
lions 5th.
The storm fcraes of this disturb
ance will be above usual intensity and
temperatures will go far below the
usual when the storm center shall
have past and the cold wave is COM
ing in. Precipitation will not be gen.
eral, but some SHOWS may be expected
north and some rains south.
The tendency of temperatures will
be downward more than usual after
this warm wave is past and very cold
weather may be expected not far from
November A. After that tempera-
lures will be downward more than
lures will have a tendency upward
till end of November.
Another disturbance will reach Pa
cific coast about November 8, cross
Pacific slope by close of 4th, great
central valleys 9Th to eth, eastern sec
lions Sth. Warm wave will cross Pa
cific slope about November 8, great
central valleys 5th, eastern sections
7th. Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about November 6, great central val
leys Sth, eastern sections 10th.
This will be type of the usual No
vember weather disturbances. Moth
ing unusual about it. Some precipita-
ton but less than usual, while the
general average temperatures will go
down more than usual and indications
will be that a severe winter is rapid
ly approaching. But this will change
after November 16, and then a long
series of upward temperatures will
seem to indicate the approach of
spring. The result will be the notable
Indian summer which will have long
run following middle of November.
A few crumbs are here offered to
the orthodox scientists to pick at. "A
French astronomer discovered that
the moon pulls the permanent highs
after 1t. When the moon goes south
in declination those highs go south,
and then they follow the moon north
ward. The moons extreme oscillia-
tions north and south of the earth's
equator are such that it sometimes
goes Is degrees north and south. That
oscillation has something to do with
our rainfall and there are four long
range weather forecasters on this con-
tinent that have carefully studied that
problem Those permanent highs
cover the Indian ocean, the north and
south Atlantic, north and south Pa
cific, making five great permanent
highs
