The Weather As 1t win Be.

Do you want To know certainly
what the weather will be in the
month of November?
Well, here is the information 1t
comes from one who knows. 1t Is
not Hicks, but a greater than Hicks.
Gentle reader, you may not know
Peter Smith of kingwood. But this
same Peter Smith is a weather proph-
ct from away back. Hicks is not in
it at all alongside of Peter. Over
in Kingwood they laugh atHicks and
stake all their worldly goods on Pc
ter Smith Now, if you want to be con-
WINGED that Peter knows a thing or
two, just paste the following forecast
in your hat:
NOVEMBER FORECAST 1898.
The month will open in the west
warm and threatening attended by
south winds, in central part a rising
temperature will prevail, and in the
extreme east light freezing and frost
will then be holding relaxing grip
A disturbance will start in the west
about the lst and pursue its course
across the country east dissipating
about the Sd or 4th The nature of
the wave will be local rains snow
squalls, and brisk gales will develop
especially on and along the lakes
and the Atlantic. Slight freezing
and frosty mornings will follow.
About the 5th weather conditions
will change in the west growing
warm aud the temperature advancing
over the whole country in the sense
of warm wave which will eliminate
about the 18th in the west, later in
central and eastern parts. The Sth
9th and 10th we denote as the dates
of disturbance in middle and eastern
sections. This wave of disturbance
will be apt to prove the most severe
of any of the month attended by
fierce gales on the lakes, the Allan
tic and also at many other places.
The kind of disturbance that will
most likely be experienced in the
north and lake regions will be rain,
as the temperature above the earth S
surface lowers be supplanted by sleet
and snow driven by fierce gale
which will merge into a winter biz
card before the storm will be exhaus-
ted impeding if not entirely block
aiding r. R. and Telegraph communi-
cation, Generally in central and
eastern portions of the country the
storm will lose much Of its north
ern fierceness and expend its force
in rain, sleet snow squalls and strong
gales of wind On the southern rim
of disturbance electric showers and
hurricanes will develop. A cold
wave will follow the rear and flank
of the disturbance holding tight
grip for few days. About the 18th
or dates touching it the cold snap
will relax and then local showers
and snow squalls accompanied by
brisk winds will prevail About the
18th weather conditions will be I'M
dergoing changes in the west, the
temperature growing warm generally
south winds in attendance and a

will center on the goth which will
be prolonged to the 23d then west
ern and eastern extremes of the
country will have been touched by
it in its progress. General rainfall
brisk fall winds and then turning to
sleet and snow will be the leading
features of the disturbance, except
northward where it will be much in
tensified turning to a blizzard On
