Rev. Ira L. Hicks, the st. Louis weather
prophet makes a rather unpleasant pre-
dction for February. The venerable
Bishop Whipple says the predictions are
usually wonderfully accurate. 1t is Sell
to give them more than passing glance
The first February storm period will cen
ter about the Sd. By this date warmer
weather, low barometer, aud well defined
storm movements will be advancing from
western regions By the 9th heavy storms
Of rain and snow will have visited in their
eastern progress most of the country. The
chances for dangerous billiards are
many to the northward about the
Sd, 4th aud 9th. About the
same dates the first battle between boreas
and warm equatorial currents will take
place around the southern TANKS of storm
movements. Sharp thunder storms, with
rain, turning to hail and sleet, will be the
natural results Cold days follow until about
the 9Th and 10Th, when the temperature will
rise and secondary storms will again pass
from west to east At the winding up Of
every storm period, whether your section
has been touched by actual storms or not,
look for winds to shift to north and for the
return OF cold.
The 18th is the central day of the next
regular period. This means that by that
