October Weather.
S. =. STRIBLING.

BY special arrangements with
Rev. Ira X. Hicks, the noted weather
prophet, of ST. Louis, Mo, an adj
vance sheet of his meteorological fore
casts for October, to appear in tho
forthcoming issue of his monthly
journal, Word ond Works, has been
received:
October should open with cool,
bright weather prevailing in most
parts of tho country. Heavy frosts
with some sharp freezing will be a
most natural result during the nights
tiding lis from September into Octo-
Der On the I'd and 3D. a sharp and
sudden rise in temperature, followed
by stormimess, may be locked for, and
by tho time the higher storms touch
the East, another blast from the
North and West will have advanced
past the middle of the continent.
About the 7th it will begin to
turn quite warm, with soft skies and
Southerly currents, which condition
will grow until storms of marked
energy show themselves on danger
days-Sth, 9th and 10th. Mctcro-
logical laws will compel a period of
three to four days of sharp freezing
and frost after these storms, which
condition will break down progress
sively from West to East on and
next to tho 18th and 18th. Warm,
S%outhcrly winds with rcactionary
storms will be the rcsult-followcd
again by the regular cold wave.
a storm period in which Vulcan,
Mercury and Venus arc directly con-
cerncd begins about the last lay of
October. The month will go out
with rising temperature and threat.
cning indications, if not active
storms, to the West.
The past summer has a%bundantly
verified the prediction of warmer and
dricr weather, which, we must repeat,
y. as only the beginning of q period
of at least three seasons in which
tho same character Of summers will
prcvail-thc crisis being reached,
perhaps, about 1892. The heavy
rains which have fallen in many
places rs we approached our autumn
nal equinox + the natural express
sions of a departing disturbance, the
absence Of which will he more
marked during all the coming year.
The prediction of cool weather and
early frosts for the present autumn
has, up to this date, been verified by
an exceptional degree, and would
seem to be a guarantee of the fur
thcr prediction of a longer and
harder winter before us than last.
Let us see. Meantime, what harm
can come from careful preparations
for a colder winter and for a dricr,
hotter summer to follow? "Thc pru-
dent man forcsccth the evil and hid
eth himself, but the simple pass on
and arc punishcd."-Auonta dour-
nal.
