NEW YORK, July 4.-By the stars
the weather can be foretold. The stars
are to blame for the sitting week that
opened June. The stars will be re-
sponsible for the comfortable and
cool, If rather stormy, July, which will
follow the 4th.
member of the American Academy of
Astrologians. with headquarters in
West One Hundred and Thirty-siXth
street, who refuses to accept the
United States Weather Bureaus opin-
ion thai there are no sound physical
laws by which the weather can be
forecast far in advance.
The stars say, according to Mr.. Nc
Cormack, that the weather immedi-
ately following the 4th will be fair
with storms breaking on July Z.
Because the position of the stars
can easily be computed and is fairly
stable and sure longrange weather
predictions are quite possible" says
Mr.. Mccormack.
"Astronomic meteorology we call it.
Predictions are based entirely upon
relatively geocentric longitudinal posi-
tions and configurations of the heav-
enly bodies at various times. That
means that the place of the planets
must be computed as they would be
seen from the center of the earth and
the proper relation arrived at between
the places of the several planets among
themselves and with the earth itself"
Months in Advance.
1t is impossible, according to Mr.. Nc
Cormack, to say that the weather in
all parts of the world will be cold or
hot or wet or dry because of stellar
influences in operation at any one
time. The stars seen by one part of
the world in darkness are not in the
same relation to the opposite side of
the world, which is having day. And
some places are more susceptible to
the conflgurations among the stars
than others. OF these, New York is
among the most susceptible during the
Summer months.
"It is not difficult to foresee a gen
eral storm even months in advance, :"
he said. "Of course, the more general
Ii is the easier it is to foresee."
Among Mr.. Mccormack predictions
is a generally stormy period between
July 8 and 12, due to the combinations
of configurations-or relative positions
and aspects-of the stars.
One of the worst storms Of the year
will start with driZZling rains on
July 9, due to Mercury (wind). Mars
(energy) and Venus train). all COM
bined. Incessant downpour. with high
winds in lowlands. will follow this.
| There will be trouble with traffic and
means of communication, and hail in
scattered localities Owing to station
ary position Of Saturn on July IL, the
storm from the West will follow in
creasing cloudiness, with particularly
| heavy downfall this day along the
waterways and in the Middle Atlantic
States.
ForeteIls 1927 Weather
Willing to predict in advance, he
forsees "a COOL windy and erratic
Spring quarter" for 1927, even more
so than the one we had this year;
an equinoctial storm of general in
tensity accompanied by strong gales
and a sudden drop in temperature
to start in the Gulf about the first
day of Spring, March 20 or 81,
| 1927, which will work northward
along the coast. passing out at New
foundland about three days later.
Temperatures will be much below
normal over States east of the Mis-
sissippi and there will be gales in the
Atlantic.
Early July in this section of the
country, he says. will show storm
impulses and sudden declining tenn
peratures. with gusty atmosphere. "
