Show WEATHER aab SCIENCE my last letter gave forecasts of a storm wave to cross the mississippi valley from to from that i date ate to november 9 or 10 will occur the 52 day rain period and the heavy storms that belong to the equinoxes equinox es of venus venue in fact november will be noted for great weather disturbances especially for tropical hurricanes and northwestern blizzards in the northwest people will imagine that winter is coming on ferociously and early but after the november storms are over beautiful weather will return numerous first class disturbances will occur in november among which will be the equinox of venus at 80 30 on the ath mercury crossing the suns equator at on the and the moon crossing the earths equator on the ath and I 1 estimate the rt relative force of the planets in their influence on the storms and weather the first hav ing the greatest force the second having the next greatest etc as am follows 1 moon crossing the earths equator 2 the earths earth Is march equinox 3 the earths september equinox 4 earth passing the suns equator 5 venus equinox at 30 6 mercury crossing suns equator at 7 venus equinox at 8 passing suns equator 9 mercury or venus crossing the earths earth pa equator when near the earth 10 ane moon running south or north 11 mars passing its equinoctials 12 jupiter passing his equinox bials 13 18 jupiter passing the suns equator 14 saturn passing its equinoctials 15 saturn passing sun suns Ps equator 16 uranus passing its equinoctials 17 uranus passing suns equator 18 new moon near its perigee 19 neptunus Nep tunes equinoctials 20 mercury passing suns finns equator at 51 21 earth passing mars mara equator 22 moons perigee and apogee 28 planets perihelion and ache iton 24 eclipses of the moon 25 pull full moon 26 conjunctions of the planets 27 planets crossing each others equators the regular storm waves are independent as to their movements from west to east in this latitude and around their centres bentres in the pacific atlantic and indian oceans but are caused to increase or decrease in force by the electric force of the planets I 1 do not kaow the cause of the storm waves but I 1 believe theato be permanent electric organizations that move entirely around their centres bentres in the oceans follow the sun near the equator and move entirely around the earth in this latitude in about 28 23 days about the first days of november the hurricanes will b egin begin to increase in force our principal Drin cipal interest is in those that inove move around the centre of the north atlantic ocean wherever they may be they will develop their greatest force about november ath these slow moving storms require as much as a week to move from the west coast of africa to the windward islands northeast of south america and another week to move through the gulf of mexico and up the atlantic coast I 1 am not yet able to give the date on which these hurricanes will pass a given point this might be known if the national weather bureau would investigate in the right direct direction lon I 1 believe they move around their centre in about 23 days the time required for the storms in this latitude to move around the earth while these hurricanes are at their greatest force on the ath I 1 expect a severe blizzard in the northwest the next storm wave will be due to leave the pacific coast about oct go 80 pass the mississippi valley from oct 30 to nov 2 and reach the atlantic coast about the 3rd ard it is not expected to be a great storm but the one following it dates given jn in my next letter is expected tv tu be a destructive storm W F FOSTER ST JOSEPH mo oct |
