FELICITOUS REMARKS.
Il congratulate the trustees and faculty

that you have put at the helm. The time

qualities that go 20 make up the IDEAL
college president. and show how fully they
arc united ln YOUR newly-elected chief,
but it does occur 10 me that there are
some especial obligations resting on edu-
catlOnal leaders in the Southern States at

tion you have made peculiarly fortunate
and appropriate.

Hicks Forecast for July.

A Vulcan storm period is central on
the 3rd. This fact calls for a very
warm wave from about the 3rd to 9th,
with threatening clouds, rains and
thunder eliminating about the 4th
and 5th.
Another change to very warm will
set in about the 9th, lasting and grow
ing in summer heat until about the
full moon on the 18th. A reactionary
storm period is central on the 9th to
| 18th, with moon at extreme south de-
clination and also at perigee on the
18th. There can no doubt of the fact
that moons perigee at or very near her
extreme south declination in the heav-
ems is often attended by very marked
and dangerous storms. Watch barom-
eters, clouds other storm indications
from about the 9th up to time of full
moon, the 18th. II the high tempera-
ture does not abate about the 18th and
18th, summer heat will become torrid
during the Vulcan storm period, 18th
to 18th.
The last general storm period for
July will from the 25th to Goth, includ-
ing new moon on the goth. Look for
intense summer heat during this
period, the hot wave reaching crisis
about the 9th to goth and eliminating
in many violent thunder storms, with
probable tOrnadoes, on about
Tuesday, the 9th, TO Thursday, the
Goth. Tie most promising outlook for
rain in July is about this time. If
rains. attended by many electrical
storms, do not occur during this period,
the torrid weather will continue un-
abated into August. There is ground
for hoping that rain and thunder
storms.will occur generally and that
the fall in temperature will be general
and decided rs the month approach it's
close. There will be danger of heavy
hail storms in case of rain and thunder
| during all the disturbances the last
half of July. Hail is one of the mark
ed characteristics of the Venus disturb
ances. Hence all who have attentive
| ly followed our foundation facts have
come to understand the great extremes
Of heat and cold that often appear
within few heurs of each other dur
ing the Venus perturbations.
