March Forecasts.

N40fCh k0feCa8t0.
We begin with a repetition of our
warnings of hard and stormy March.
About the 8rd, the beginning OF a
storm period will show itself in west
erly regions, by falling barometer
and rising temperature. The winds
will shift to southerly and-the ther-
mometer will continue to rise, and the
barometer to fall until extremes of
both are reached. and until general
and violent storms develope and start
OH their ward career. The first storm
period would end, under normal con-
ditions, about the 7th, but the New
Moon falls OH that date, and the COM
bined disturbing powers of Mars,
Earth and Venus being near the crisis,
a series of hard and dangerous storms
will most likely center about the 7th.
with continued storminess past the
reactionary disturbances, central on
the Sth and 9th. During all these dis
turbances there will be violent conflicts
between the tropical and polar storms,
with heavy rains and strong probabili-
ties of tornadoes in many places
especially southwark, and turning to
blizzards and snow blockades in more
northerly regions. Sudden and extreme
cold must be expected and preparations
made for it in the rear Of these storms
or surprise and suffering are sure to
result. On and touching March 18th
is the annual crisis for magnetic and
electrical perturbations.
The 18th is the centre of the next
regular period. A day or two previous
tarthat date indications in westerly
parts of.the continent will plainly show
that energetic storms are brewing.
Watch the temperature, the weather
reports, your own barometer and the
clouds. During 18th to 18th, the
storms will reach their crisis and
make their sweep from the western to
the eastern extremes of our continent.
At the close of the storms each section
in it's turn will be struck by a polar
wave of great severity, for the season.
Centering on the 2Oth, 2lst and 22nd,
we have the full moon with partial
eclipse of same, the equinoctial CEN
tiers Of Mercury, Earth, Venus, Yul-
cans reactionary disturbances, and
the direct pressure of the Mars equinox
which is central on February 28th.
He who will carefully read our chapter
on Foundation Facts'' in our almanac
will understand our reasons for ad-
monishing the public of great probable
danger at this time on land and sea.
Unless this unusual centteing of so
many disturbing forces, right at the
Vernal equinox, shall have neutralizing
balancing effects that we do not now
fOresee or understand, much violent
phenomena is sure to result. Expect
cyclonic storms of great extent, result
ing in tornado features along the
southern tangents, and billiards. to the
north, all to be followed by a general
cold wave that will be felt to the coasts
of Florida. Earthquake perturbations,
and volcanic eruptions, will be natural
but not necessarily dangerous or fatal.
The last storm period for March will
run from 26th to Goth, inclusive, and
the storms of the period will show the
same characteristics as those of earlier
periods of the month. Where March
storms culminate in very high tempera-
ture; heavy hail with thunder and
lightning may be looked for. The
month will close cold and fair gener-
ally.
