Washington, Dec. 5.--Last bulletin
gave forecasts OF disturbances 10 cross
continent December z to II aud 10 TO
II, warm waves G to 10 and . to 10,
cool waves 10 TO IA and ~ to 10. TEN.
peratures of the week covered by
these two disturbances viii average
near normal, but will be much warmer
first part OF the week than during the
last part OF II. A cold wave will come
In not far from December II and will
probably carry frosts to the gulf.
The principal energies OF these
storms will be developed In the cold
wave and other features are not ex.
pected TO be radical These storms
belong to the precipitation month GOV.
erlng November "a to December 20,
during which deficiency In precipi.
tation has been predicted But some
SHOWS North and rains South may be
looked for as the cold wave near De.
cember II comes In.
The precipitation months cover
about twenty-elght days each and
therefore they continually change rel.
alive to the calendar months, which
average 3O4i days. The next precipl.
tatlon month will begin December "a
and II will be notable for heavy pre-.
cipitation in all Southern and Eastern
sections OF this continent and def.
cinecies In the Middle Northwest and
on the Pacific slope.
New England and Eastern Canada
will get heavy SHOWS In January and
the cotton States excessive rains. The
more exact dates OF heaviest preclpl.
tatlon are brought on by the severe
storms. But as January will be de-
ficient In severe storms the precipl.
tatlon Is expected to be OF mild
form, light at the beginning OF that
precipitation month and increasing In
amount up TO near January "a.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about December Is, cross Pacific
slope by close Of l6. great central val.
leys II TO 10. Eastern sections 20.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about December Is. great central val.
leys II. Eastern sections 10. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
December IS, great central valleys 20,
Eastern sections %.
The period covered by this storm
will average colder thon usual, the
coolest weather coming before the
storm. Very little precipitation is ex.
pected with II. Storm forces will be
about normal. But about December
22, and several days following, the
storms will be more severe.
Have you noted how very accurately
these bulletins have predicted the
weather in the European war zone?
Remarkable. to say the least OF II.
Did you notice that We predicted less
than usual precipitation for the Pa.
cific slope and Middle Northwest for
November? We are quite confident
that our forecasts OF crop weather for
1915. for all OF this continent, will be
surprisingly correct.
The big star, seen well up in the
southeastern sky, after p. m. is the
mighty Jupiter. It is a world OF vast
dimensions. so great that In comparl.
son, our little world Is a pigmy. Ten
bodies the size OF our earth. lying IN
single row, would about reach
through Jupiter That planet has
much to do with our weather and with
the sun spots. The sun, of course. is
the great force, but It is steady and
gives us the normal weather condi.
tons, the very gradual seasonal
changes. All the more sudden changes
come from the planets and moon
through the eternal and omnipresent
electromagnetic forces that operate
under the laws of magnetism. the
moon, earth, sun and planets being
the magnets.
