copyrighted 1918 by W.T.. Foster
Washington, March S.-Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross the continent March IL to
Is, warm wave 10 to "A, cool wave
13 to II. Temperatures of the week
in which this weather disturbance
crosses the continent will averaSe
colder than usual, and the precipI-
tation of rain OF snow, while not
heavy, will be above the average OF
the present winter. This storm wave
comes in between two severe storm
periods and will therefore be COM
paratively mild. Severe cold Will
precede and follow this wave of dis
turbances.
The next disturbance will reach
the Pacific coast about March II,
cross Pacific slope by close OF 1S,
great central valleys 10 to 2i, east
ern sections %. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about March II,
great central valleys 10, eastern sec
tions 2i. Cool wave will cross Pa
ciic slope about March 20, great
central valleys %, and the eastern
sections "a.
This will be a very dangerous
storm period and you should re-
member that we are hitting the
dates of the dangerous storms,
Within a few days of February "a
a million dollars in property was
destroyed by great storms, just at
the time predicted in these bulle-
tins, and now we more earnestly ad-
wise you of the great storms that
will sweep over this country within
a few days of March 25.
AS this dangerous storm period
will cover more than usual we have
warned all to be on the alert from
March i6 to the end of the month.
We regret that we are not yet ready
to give the locations of these dread
ed storms and to describe them IN
detail for every locality, but the
time is not very farm away when
this can be accomplished.
The July storms will be the great
est, those of March next in severity
those of January we counted about
the same in force as those of March
and those Of February we consid-
cred the weakest of all. We expect
property and lives to be destroyed
in March and July by these terrific
storms and these warnings are giver
with hope that property and lives
may be saved by being prepared.
As a general average, rainfall il
not expected to be great in March
but these severe storms will cause
some heavy local rains and prob.
ably in northern sections some bliz-
yards. Last half of March is expect
ed to be warmer than usual. One o.
the precipitation waves is expected
to cross the continent March II t.
T. Is, and the precipitation during lts
passage will be as heavy as any O
the month. Great rise in tempera-
lures between the passing of tn:
cold wave March 8 to IL and thu
passing of the warm wave t8 to 22
There are those who believe tina
at times the electric magnetic forces
become quiet and that the human
mind is then not active, not ener-
getic. It is claimed that at such ;
time the dark ages spread over Eu-
rope and held the human race a:
poems or slaves for a Thousand
years. Then it is further claimed
that our solar system moved int
new relations to other systems
electro-magnetism became more ac
tive and is now on the increase
This, it is cglaimed, accounts fo
the great activity of the people IL
all countries of the world at tn
present time.We have no opinion OF
this matter, but note it as belle
of many well informed people. W.
know that people are dull under
low barometer, and brighter, fee
better under high barometer, O
as cool wave comes in. We alst
know that more deaths occur unde
the oppressive atmosphere of th'
low than under the inyigorating in
fluence Of the high.
