Gel Radical Change Of Weather.

Washington, d. c., Oct 4.--Last
| bulletin gave forecasts Of disturb
ance to cross the continent Oct. 9
| to IA, warm wave 8 to 13, cool wave
ii to Is. This will begin as a mild
! disturbance in the far west but will
gather force as it reaches eastern
sections. Temperatures will average
lower than usual. The storm due on
meridian 80 about Oct will be OF
| greater force.
| Next disturbance will reach Pa
cific coast about Oct. Is, cross Pa
citc slope by close Of Is, great cen
tral valleys II to 10, eastern. see
citic slope about Oct. Is, great cen
trail valleys Ii, eastern sections l9.
Cool wave Will cross Pacific slope
about Oct. lS, great central valleys
20. eastern sections Y.
! This disturbance will bring one Of
i the three principal storm waves OF
October and during its passage most
places on the continent will get a
radical weather feature. The intel
Iigent reader will have observed that
these storm waves develop fierce
winds in some places, oppressive
calms and high temperatures in 9TH
ers, deep blue sky il others, IN
usually cool or cald in other places.
| Whenever any weather extreme
appears it is the result Of a storm
wave and it is very seldom that all
the weather features appear at the
same place and never at the same
time. Therefore when a storm wave
! Of more than usual intensity is pre-
dicted the ObserVant reader will see
and understand the weather feature
Of the storm that is visiting his
vicinity. It is not difficult to deter
4, mine by observing the clouds where
the center Of the storm is and the
direction it is moving. On the ap-
proach of the storm the thin, high
clouds usually form in parallel
!streamers and converge to point
| somewhere westward. They point to
the storm center. They also con
/ verge to another center somewhere
eastward which is the high Or cen
ter Of clear weather. That high is
the feeder Of the storm and carries
the moisture to the storm center.
i AS the storm center nears from
westward the clouds from eastward
move toward it, become thicker and
cause rain or snow before the storm
center reaches you There are five
kinds Of clouds and each will tell
you something about the approach
ing storm. Each Of these kinds Of
clouds has several kinds Of move
ments and each movement tells a
different tale. The scud cloud, like
racehOrse, runs down with great
speed and is headed toward a tor
nadO.
The storm wave above described
to cross the continent Oct. 16 to 20
will be followed by a cold wave and
some sections will set all the wealth
er features. That will be an i'm
portant storm on the continent and
, all should be on the watch for it. It
/ will be a dangerous storm in places
A tropical~ hurricane is one OF The
probabilities and it will be a gooC
time to keep off the southern seas
The tropical hurricane in the sOutf
and the cold wave in the north are
: tied together BY electromagnetic
bands overhead and in the earth:
!, surface and from the hurricane K
the cold wave overhead.
) When it gets unusually warm a:
the warm wave crosses continent
Oct is to p you may expect thai
the cold wave is not far behind anf
!. that the hurricane is churning tht
N southern seas.
