Forecast for October Shows
America Will Be Effected BY Elements

temblor and five distinct shocks were
felt at Eureka, Cal. A forecast storm
swept the Gulf Coast and the Antilles
on Sept 10th, continuing with dimin-
ishing severity until the 18th.
The warm wave which swept tho
United States between the 18th and
gath of the month was described I'm
my forecast for September.
Two very severe storm periods are
indicated for the month of October.
One, reaching the peak" of its sew
Gritty between the 4th and 9Th of the
month, will affect practically all
American waters the Atlantic, Pa
ci1c, Gulf Of Mexico and the Great
Lakes-and will, I am sure, subse-
quently be characterized as a gale"
period.
The other storm period-from Oc-
tober 18th to 21st-will effect, prin-
cipally the Great Lakes and the At
lantic seaboard and will be accom-
panied by a general and heavy rain
fall throughout the country. This will
not be as sever a period rs the one
earlier In the month.
Sunspots generated in the month of
August and September, on the far side
of the Sun, will be mainly responsible
for the storms and other phenomena
due in October. This Is because the
