May as Predicted by Prof. Vennor.

Professor Vennor's predictions for
May are as follows Toward the end of
the first week in May, or about the 5th
and 9th, snow falls may be looked for
in the lower provinces of Canada, and
about May Bird frosts are probable in
Central and Southern Illinois with rain
and snow prevailing in some localities
There will also in all probability, be
snow falls through the Gulf and st.
Lawrence district about the 9TH and Sth.
After the 10th, however, hot weather
may be expected and after the 18th bush
fires will probably break out in certain
districts, although thunder storms are
also probable on the 18th and 18th. Be-
tween the Goth and 25th there will prob
ably be cloudy weather, with rains, and
vegetation will have advanced consid-
erably by the oath of the month. Be-
tween the Goth and the 25th the weather
will probably be cold. The month will
end hot and sultry.
