HICKS FOR JUNE.

The storm conditions passing from
west to east during the last days OF
May will be subsiding to the eastern
parts of the country the first day or
two of June. Pleasant weather gener-
ally will prevail during the first week
of the month, the greatest tendency to
storm conditions falling about the 4th
to 9Th. On these dates the tempera-
ture will rise, the barometer will fall
and showers will occur in various parts
of the country. Cool nights and pleas.
ant days will continue up to about the
Sth in most parts of our continent. 1t
will be natural to expect much cleo
trical display, many showers and sud-
den gusts, breaking into violent thun-
der and wind storms in many sections,
from about the 10th until after the full
moon on the 14th. From about the
10th to the 25th of June is the annual
summer solstice crisis, during which
we reach, in the northern hemisphere,
our longest days and shortest nights
and the earth begins to turn downward
and back to the west. This SOL
stice period is always attended by q
marked increased of electrical dis
turbance in our globe and atmosphere.
Showery, threatening weather will most
likely continue during the reactionary
disturbances central on the 18th and
10th, by the end of which time we will
have entered the Mercury period,
shown by the storm diagram to extend
from the 10th to 18th. Much tendency
to cloudiness and rain will prevail all
through this Mercury period, but the
most general and heavy rains and
storms may be looked for In the Vulcan
period about Monday, the 21st, to Fri
day, 25th. The last general disturb
ance for June will center about the
date of the new moon on the 29th.
Very warm weather may be expected
during these closing days, with atmos-
pheric perturbations in many places.
In the nature of things, much rain and
some dangerous storms are to be ex-
pected in June, but we do not think
unusual disturbances probable. Many
streams will continue to run dangerous
Iy full and much low land will be work
ed with difficulty; but upon the whole,
look for o propitious month and bend
every effort to realize good crops as
quickly as possible.
