st. Louis Word Ind Wor:,s: The re-
gular periodic swing of temperature
calls for cooler 'eather at the opening
of September. "A combination of eau
ses. will, however, be in full force at
that time which are calculated to dis
turb the usual order, and render more
complicated and difficult all data for
forecasting the exact phenomena to be
expected. On and about the 3rd rise
in temperature will pass eastward, be-
ginning in the west about the End, and
reaching the Atlantic about the 5th
and 9th. Storms and other electrical
manifestations out of the usual order,
in the globe beneath and the sky above
need cause no surprise at this time and
from this time onward throughout the
month. Under existing causes, the
temperature may not fall after the
dates for secondary disturbances. End
to 9Th, but if it should about the 18th, a
very warm wave may be looked for adj
vancing from the west, and will spread
over the entire country before its exit
from our eastern coasts. This warm
wave will result from the equinox of
Venus central on the eth, regular
storm period central on the Sth, and
the approaching centre of the earth s
equinox on the 21st. The period ex-
tends from about the 9th to 18th. thus
embracing and reinforcing the electri-
cal and magnetic disturbances which
reach an annual crisis on and about the
18th of September. 1t must also be
kept in mind that all the causes named
above will be intensified by the prevail
ing influence of the planet Saturn. We
may, therefore, expect during the Pc
Rod extending from the 9th to 18th, a
phenomenally high temperature and a
highly excited condition of the electri-
cal forces in earth and sky, resulting
either in dangerous cyclones and storms
on sea and land or in prolonged term
of oppressively high temperature, end
ing with many and marked earthquake
disturbances. If heavy storms. with
much thunder and lightning, occur
about the danger days, 9th, 10th and
1lth, the temperature is almost sure to
fall almost Immediately after, almott
to the frost or freezing point in north
ern sections. We incline to the pro-
longed hot and dry view of the case,
running forward, perhaps, through the
reactionary period, central on the 18th
and 18th, and ending about the time of
the suns passing our equator, in many
earthquake shocks and celestial and
magnetic displays. AT the same time
it will be wise to watch for heavy
storms, and in the event of their ap-
pearance to make all possible provision
against low temperature and frost to
the northward.
y regular storm period is central on
the Goth, the moon on the same day
reaching her position between us and
, the sun, thereby adding much to all the
disturbing causes mentioned at the last
; period and still in force. The forecasts
admonitions concerning the period, It'll
to 18th, will apply with added empha-
sis to the period, 18th to 23rd. During
these days the sun will pass to the
=. south of our equator. and all terrestrial
, forces, excited by an unusual blending
Of causes, will rouse themselves up to
the work of transferring the seasons to
the opposite ends Of our world;seas and
; coasts everywhere III the direction of
our equator will be subject to violent
and dangerous storms. About the
winding up of the period, 18th to 23rd
{ blasts of polar air will admonish us OF
the oncoming autumn, and the need Of
, wise and timely preparations for a hare
winter. Some very coor weather vii
attend and follow the disturbances
about this time. Reactionary tenden
cies centered on the Goth will bring
higher temperature and autumna
storminess. Another cool wave viii

will appear in the west, heralding' thu
