MAY WEATHER.
Hicks Predicts storms and Extremes
Of Heat and Cold.

Rev. Irl Hicks, the st. Louis
weather prophet, has to say of the
coming month:
''Cool, clear weather will advance
from west to east during the first
days of May. By May Sd warm
wave will appear in the west, attend
by storm developments of marked
intensity. Within 4S hours of 6 p.
m. on the 4th-the center of the
period-storms of marked cyclone
possibilities, attended by hail, rain
or thunder, will visit most parts of
the country.
"Be prepared for phenomenal
areas of cold and hot in close prox-
unity to each other, with sudden and
extreme drops of temperature.
Frosts are almost sure to follow in
the rear of storms about the night of
the 4th or 9Th, in the north and
west, reaching the eastern sections
a day or two later. Centering on
the 10th and 11th, reactionary con-
ditions of temperature and barome-
trio pressure, ending in storms, may
be counted on"
"The next storm period is central
on the 18th, bringing its culminat-
ing stages ON the 18th. The period
runs from the 14th to 18th. A
series of heavy storms, recurring in
cycles of "a hours-say each after
noon and evening-will most likely
result for several days about this
time.
ga cold, steady wind from west
and north will indicate the cessa-
ton of storms. Heavy frosts will
be heard from to the northward
between the 18th end 21st. About
the 22d, look out for a return Of
very warm days, with reactionary
storms.
tThe last storm period of the
month is from the 25th to the 30th.
On the 25th falls the new moon,
equinox of Mercury on the 29th,
Venus still in full force-ali combine
with regular Vulcan period, GEN.
trail on the 9th. Putting all these
causes together and adding the fact
that we are fully within the Saturn
ian period, we may almost surely
expect disturbance of great vio-

Queer Figuring.

Just think of it-Bob White is
authority for the statement that the
seating capacity of the Mexico
churches is too small by one-half.
Hardly Sunday passes when the
weather is clear that people are not
turned away from at least two of
the churches. "There are 3 1000 peo-
pie in Mexico who could not go to
church on Sunday morning if they
wanted to, as there is not seating
capacity" Is it really true, Robert,
that Mexico has only three small
churches with a seating capacity
of 297? If so, this leaves 2,7O3
persons unprovided for. Mexico
certainly offers splendid mission
