Washington, July 2l.--l.ast bulle-
tin gave forecasts of disturbances
to cross the continent June i6 TO 20
and 22 to 26, warm waves Is to ~
and q to 25 cool waves lS to % and
"a to q. About normal weather is
to prevail during the two
weeks covered by these two disturb
ances. No important weather event
is III sight for that period and as
natural consequence less than usual
rain IL expected. leaving some sec
tlons with shortage in moisture.
Relative to the normal tenpera-
lures a considerable fall was expect
ed from June IL to 81. but this
would not mean an actual fall, be-
cause. as every one knows, The nor
NAL temperatures rise from about
January Is to about July IS. Some
people who have no thinking ma
chimes misunderstood our chart
temperature forecasts for May. We
are compelled to use the straight
treble line in the monthly charts to
represent normal temperatures, but
every thoughtful person well knows
that normal temperatures go up
about ten degrees month from
January to July and down as much
from July TO January. When reading
monthly charts those we'll known
facts should not be forgotten.
Tur next disturbance xil reach
the Pacific coast about June 27.
cross the Pacific slope by close Of
%, great central valleys 20 to July
4, eastern sections July 2. Warm
wave will cross Pacific slope about
June 27, great central valleys 90,
eastern sections July 1. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about June
80. great central valleys July 2, east
ern sections July 1.
This disturbance covers time 50
close to the great storm period that
it is difficult to determine its char
acter. All weather features will be
radical, of greater than usual force,
but we have placed July 5 as the
center and most extreme part OF
this great storm period. July 8. 1,
end 6 will be days Of greatest stress,
But where will these storms break
If we have the lows placed cor
rectly one of them will be on The
Atlantic coast July 3 and that storm
will be at its greatest tensity or
the Atlantic coast and for several
days 1t will continue as a furious
storm out on the north Atlantic.
Next disturbance will reach Pa
ciflc coast about July 3, cross Pa
ciflc slope by close of 4. great Gen.
tral valleys s to 7, eastern sections
18. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about July 8, great centra
valleys 5, eastern sections 7. Coo
wave will cross Pacific slope about
July 6, great central valleys 8, ant
eastern sections 10.
This will be a furious storm for
ten days. July to 8 TO i3, from just
before 1t strikes our western coasts
until it strikes the western coast:
of Europe. Human lives, live stock
water craft and other property viii
be destroyed in that great disturb
ance.
An unusual planetary event viii

July 3. We can not now locate tht
effects, but expect TO read Of earth
quakes, tornadces, hurricanes, elec-
trio storms and other extreme
weather events within "a hours o.
the midnight that falls between
July and 1. AT that time the sun
moon, Jupiter, Uranus and the eartl
will occupy relative positions a

force.
The effect will probably be seer
on the.l. s. Weather Bureau map

lbarometric readings from July 2 t
July 1 and 5. Watch the results.
