Rev. Irl II. Hicks, the weather
prophet OF ST. Louis, says that Octo-
Der will be full Of storms and g danger
days" His predictions are az follows .
The Venus disturbance being GEN.
trial on October End, the storms origi-
mating during the last days of Septem-
Der are apt TO be- prolonged into Octo-
Der, reaching a maximum of violence
on and touching the Bird and 4th.
This is the first full moon period after
the central passage of the autumnal
equinox, with reactionary storm per-
~turbations central ONT the Ord and 4th.
Look for violent storms on and
about those dates, preceded by very
nigh temperature n followed by O
sudden cold wave, with frosts in all
central and northern parts of the coun-
try from about the 4th to 7th. Watch
all Indications, and look for announce
ment oil very low temperature advanc-
ing from extreme northwest as early
as the Bird or 4th.
The storm diagram shows a mer-
curry disturbance, reaching from 7th to
the 18th being central on the 18th.
Within this time falls q regular storm
period central on the 10th, and cover-
ing from about the 9Th to 18th, inclu-
sive. About the 9Th and 9th. q warm
wave, with falling barometer will
start from westerly sections, followed
by rains, wind and thunder, with
dashes of hail, turning to early snow
hurrles in northern extremes. Storms
Will run their courses by about the
18th. and the cold wave and high
barometer following close behind the
storms will traverse the country to the
Atlantic seaboard by the 14th and 18th.
Another decided fall of the baro-
meter, with rising temperature and
storms will start from westerly regions
about the 10th, and during the 18th.
loth-and 18th, these conditions will
travel eastward and southwark TO the
Atlantic. More snow will visit many
places to the north during these
storms, light on the heels of very high
temperatures, and q cold wave, with
some freezing in the north, will spread
over most parts OF the country by tn.

These facts added to other disturbing
causes about the 10th to 10Th, are al.
most a guarantee of violent gales on
