Cross the Continent.

Washington, March 15.-Last bull.
letin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross the continent March t8 tC
%, warm wave II to 81, cool wave
20 to "a. These bulletins have given
warning of dangerous storms for the
period of this disturbance and we
repeat this warning. The dangerous
storms predicted for February
brought tornadoes, death and ruin
in two Southern States and the de-
struction of a million dollars worth
of property in the middle northwest
We are now giving closer atten-
ton to dangerous storms and have
made no mistake on them during
the past winter. This wonderful sue
cess admonishes all to watch for
dangerous storms March Is to close
of the month. This forecast is not
based on the old idea of equinoctial
storms. There are times when no
equinOctial storms occur. But the
equinOxes are favorable to severe
storms particularly when the moon
and planets are in positions favor
able to severe weather.
The next disturbance will reach
no n MOI
cross Pacific slope by clsoe of %,
great central valleys "a to 26, east
ern sections 81. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about March %,
great central valleys "a, eastern sec
tiOns 26. Cool wave will cross the
Pacific slope about March 25, great
central valleys 81, eastern sections
20. Within a few days of March 26
the weather forces will be at great
tensity and no risks should be
taken on weather events about that
time. 1t is just as commendable to
try to save lives and property from
storms as it is to engage in life-sav-
ing from the waters, and these bull
letins will continue to warn the
people of these dangerous periods.
The position of the great planet
Jupiter warns us that 1913 will be
year of destructive storms, and as
we have found the causes of these
great good will be accom-
plished by giving their dates, al
,hough we may not be able to locate
hem.
Rain waves will cross the conti-
nent March t9 to % and 26 to 80.

states and eastern provinces. In
order to keep we'll informed on
these forecasts file of the bulletins
