Excerpt from Latest Advances in Weather Forecasting at a Long Range by Sunspots and Planetary Positions We therefore arrived at the conclusion that a solar disturbance, once started, would continue until it was supplanted by a new one, or until it got a new lease of life from a new cause that came into play, thus making the Old focus of disturbance the seat Of the new one. N Odon of the astronomical society of Bordeaux had noticed the same thing, However it would cost nothing to experiment, and note the results and Observe what help it might bring to the forecaster. The experiment has so far proved a great success, the reality having always corresponded to anticipation and this not only with regard to the western limb, but the eastern limb also and the central meridian both in front and in back. By this new discovery the task of forecasting earth's weather by the sun's weather, if the expression be allowed, becomes mere child's play and the weatherman can plunge as deeply into the future as prudence may dictate. There will always be difficulties from new disturbances on the sun, which might occur so far out of place as to upset the previous calculations. Hitherto our limit of forecasting has been one month, during which, and especially at the end of which. Failure or success is carefully ascertained from the weather map. If any slips have occurred, an investigation immediately follows and it shows constantly that one solar disturbance had been overlooked or another had set in out of harmony with the one or the ones that had been used as bases of calculation. But what is worthy of note in this connection, is that a recalculation, by the 3-day law applied universally, based on the omitted spot or the new one, brings aresult that is entirely in harmony with the dates of the real meteorological events of the past month.
