HoNoRED AT HOME.
Prof. Hicks Foretold the Great Storm and
st. Louis Regards Him With Awe.

Prof. Ira Hicks stands at the head of
the class today as a weather prophet,
says ST. Louis despatch. Prof. Hicks
prints little monthly newspaper called
Word and Work. 1t is devoted almost
exclusively to writings on weather. The
April number printed the first of the
month, said much about the weather.
On last Thursday Prof Hicks printed in
an evening newspaper this statement
taken from Word and Work as an imme-
date warning:
ga combination of causes conspire at
the opening and during the entire month
of April which are calculated to produce
disturbances of maximum severity, and
which will overthrow the storm periods
in their natural state. Nevertheless, the
most marked and dangerous will be CEN
tered on or about the central dates of
regular storm periods. The first period
extends from the I'd to the 9th. We
name the 3D., 4th and 9Th as danger CEN
tres. AS we enter the period it will
grow very warm in westerly parts and
heavy storms of thunder, rain, hail and
tornadoes will develop and travel east
ward, turning to snow and sleet in nor
therly sections.
ssThese disturbances will feel the com
| bined forces of Mars, the earth, Venus.
| Mercury and the moon in opposition
| Expect general cold wave to spread
over the country, as the storms pass to
the eastward, and prepare for frosts and
considerable freezing northward in the
intervening days and nights prior to the
| 9th and 10TH
.On and about. these days it will grow
| suddenly very warm, and reactionary
| storms will appear in many parts and
with marked energy. From the 10th to
the 18th will be a period of great and I'M
usual storm changes, and almost unex-
ampled wind, hail and rain will visit the
| Western States, the maximum of severity
being central in the Mississippi and Mis-
| souri, Valleys"
Considering what happened yesterday
! in the sections mentioned. Prof. Hicks's
reputation on weather today took q
| bulge equal to that made by May wheat
| in Chicago. Prof. Hicks this evening is
out with more predictions. He says:
| Between the 18th and the 18th the
whole, country will feel the effect of a
| very warm wave, and storms of great
| violence are TO De appreHended on about
the 18th, 10th and 18th. The 18th is the
central day of the Venus perturbation,
which lasts with growing power for
about twenty days before and with in
ereasing energy fer about twenty days
after the central day, so that tha Venus
characteristics, hall startling electrical
| phenomena, eaorrlGas downpours Of rain

TO THE VOTERS OF PORTLAND.
An Appeal From Prominent Business Men
of the City.

The following speaks TOR itself:
April 18th, 1898.
To the Citizens Of Portland.
Events connected with our recent mu-
nicipal election have startled and shocked
our citizens and brought reproach upon
our city. We are confronted by politi-
cal situation which appeals to our local
pride and loyalty. Undeniably, means
were employed to defeat the will of the
people, for we have witnessed an effort
to falsify the count of the votes cast. All
good citizens concurred in prompt and
vigorous protest, but an appeal to the
courts was necessary to secure the clear
est political rights. Mayor Ingraham re-
jected an election which he declared
fraudulent, and a. desire prevailed that
Hon. James P Baxter should be elected
Mayor without opposition. But the de-
mands of few partisans controlled the
policy of their party and Mr.. Ingraham
again became candidate. Facing this
situation we appeal to the pride and pat
riotism of the electors. of Portland We
appeal to you to repel the imputation
that fraud in our elections is endorsed
We appeal to you to rebuke those who
did not scruple to attempt by a false
count and illegal returns to nullify the
vote of our citizens. We appeal to you
to disregard partisanship, to obey the
demands of citizenship, and to avail your
selves of this opportunity to confer an
equal honor upon the city of Portland
and Hon. James P. Baxter, one of it's
most public spirited and distinguished
citizens, by electing him Mayor on Mon
day next
