being so near the crisis, q series of hard and
dangerous storms will most likely cente,

heavy rains and strong probabilities of tor

The l4th is the center of the next regular

the clouds. During 18th to 18th, the storms
will reach theil crisis and make their sweep
from the western to the eastern extremes of
our continent. At the close of storms, each
