ED. WEEKLY GRAPHIC:-Permit
me through your able and enterprising
paper to say word In explanation Of
the planetary Storm Prophet" Let
it be understood that 1t is no. after the
"ground hog" or the goose bone"
order. 1t does not propose to proph.
esy except upon scientific and demon
strable data.
The great God appointed the
heavenly bodies for "signs and sea.
sons," and so uniform and systematic
is the result, that the signs may be
known to all, as we'll as the blessings
of the seasons derived.
All know that our seasons are the
result OF the motion and relative posi-
tions of the planetary body which we
inhabit; aud it is just as true that the
periodic notifications and perturba.
tons of the seasons depend upon the
motions, relative positions and mutual
influences of the other planets in the
solar system.
The "Storm Prophet" is a simple
but scientific and careful calculation
of these periods of storms and planet
AIRY disturbances. A knowledge of
Astronomy Is no more necessary in
using the "Storm Prophet" than a
knowledge of clock making to tell the
time of day. The figures show the
days and the months upon which the
planetary equinoxes occur for si1 years
to e0me, and all that is necessary to
understand and use the Storm Prophet
is to look at the Explanation OF
Table" on the back of the chart and
fr in tile mind tie length of the psyi0d
of dsturb4nce f0r each Equinox, and
the particular character of results to
be expected for each particular planet.
1t will ue seen that these periods often
run into each other, producing COM
binatlon of causes, and hence, a com
bination of results. Take an illustra.
ton: The Storm Prophet shows that
an Equinox of Venus occurs April 60.
The disturbing Influence OF Venus
lasts nearly or quite forty-fve days,
twenty before and twenty-five after Mt
day OF the Equlnox-hence the next
Iperiod of Venus will embrace four
periods of Vulcan-two in April and
two in May-also one period of Mtr-
eH,y in April. At these combined
lperiods the phenomena is the mosl
marked. Hence, we shall have from
the middle of April. past the middle
of May, especially during the Hulta
nian periods, heavy rains and many
hard hail storms, followed by frosts.
This is a sufficient key for any or.
dinary boy or girl observer, and my
honest desire and effort is to have
every one in the land interested IL
this vitally important subject. Wher
all the people understand it as the,
might and should, untold suffering tc
man and beast will be averted and
millions Of property and thousands o.
human lives viii be saved periodically
Very truly yours,
IRL R. Hicks,

for An Injunction.


In the case Of NJ. ID. Helm against
THE CRITIC, Messrs. Hallet Kill
bourne, w. Scott Towers, r. III. Syl-
vester and others, for n receiver etc.
Mr.. Charles Thompson OF counsel for
the defendants, appeared before Justice
IIagner this morning and asked, with
the consent OF counsel OH the other side,
that the time to hear the answer to the
rule be extended until Monday next.
He stated that the bill had just reached
them yesterday, and while they were
ready with their facts, there had not
been time sufficient in which to formtl-
late the answer, as the bill Is very
lengthy.
Justice IIagner said that 1t would be
impossible to hear the rule at the time
stated, as the court could not sit In
August. He would say, however, that
he could not have granted an injunction
anyhow, as the bill alleges that the de-
PENDANTS are solvent; that being so they
are responsible, and there was no
reason why the insurance money should
not be paid them. II misappropriated,
there was way to recover from them,
as the complainant averred the rcspon-
sibility Of the defendants. He then
postponed the hearing Of the rule until
the first Tuesday in September.
