Why the Wind Blows.
An inquirer has been vainly seeking information in Wanganui as to the cause of such a prolonged continuance of heavy winds as has been experienced of late. In reply to bis query, Captain Edwin supplies the following‘The heaviest winds generally accompany atmospheric disturbances of greater than ordinary dimensions. These take more time in passing over the country than those of less magnitude, and when, as has been the case for soma months past, disturbances covering larger areas and of greater., energy than usual have followed one another at more frequent intervals than usual, high winds continue longer than under ordinary conditions. The winter in both hemispheres has been prolonged. The atmospheric conditions have everywhere been unusual, and though our summer is undoubtedly very late we have not suffered as much as other countries from these exceptional circumstances. »
