JULY

= Word and Works: Pleasant summer days,
for tho most part, will prevail at the opening
Of July. Tie full moon, and the center of a
Mercury equinox falling together on June
Goth, nay prolong cloudiness with storms in
extreme east into July, but westerly and
central regions will have q change to fair and
cooler, with rising barometer. BY the 4th q
warm wave will be well defined on the west
ern side of the Countrywide barometer will
be falling in the same region and storms
will start toward the east. From the 4th to
7th, all the phenomena of q regular storm
period may be exy ected a, all points, as they
march in regular order from west to east.
Fair weather to the east, growing warmer
with winds from east to south, during the
early part of the storm periods, are as much
parts of the phenomena OF a period as actual
storms of rain, wind and thunder. The
change to cooler, westerly winds, with bar
ometer rising, in regions west of storm areas
are also physical necessities, falling in and
bringing up the real the moment the storm
ar passes east of any given point. Ii these
changes to cooler, westerly winds, with bar
ometer beginning to rise. do not follow
storms; if warm south winds hold, and bar
ometer stands or falls lower, another ''sec-

within q few hours. The 10th and 18th are
reactionary days, at which time it will grow
verp warm, and if active storms do not APP
pear, the warmth will increase past the new
moon on the 18th, and eliminate in heavy
storms on or about the 10th which is the CEN
trail day Of the next storm period. If the new
moon on the 18th leans in its perturblng
effect, oward the storm period of 18th to
18th, storms will appear early in the period,
checking the growing heat, and bringing
temporarily more pleasant weather.
If the new moon on the 18th lends her i'm
fluence to r~eactionary disturbances central
on 10th and 18th, q crisis of heat and storm
will be reached about those days, If she
reaches forward to storm period of 18th to
18th, heat and storms will come to q crisis
early in that period. We expect the latter.
About the 22nd, growing warmth, with all
the changes that precede and attend a return
to storminess, viii appear. These disturb
ances, also, will in all probability reach their
crisis very promptly, under electric pressure
of the moons first quarter on the Goth. Blus-
ter. with threatening loud and local rains,
may be expected at this and all fully periods
but we think there viii be a ge neral lack Of
rain. The last period for July runs from Goth
to aUth, the crisis falling co-incldent with the
full moon on the 28th. AT this time we will
have entered into the Venus period, which
is central on August 8, and if we are to have
general rains from the Venus disturbance
in August, they are apt to begin in earnest
at this last July period. We look for much
violent disturbance at this time, and hope
for s~easonahle rains. but shall not be sur
prised if there are more severe buster, cleo
trical displays and rapid transitions from
heat to cool than rain. AT all events we MAJ
reasonably expect a respite from summer
heat at the close of the last July storms.
