Forecasts for October.

weather prophet, gives the following forecasts for October:
 Moon will be at her greatest south declination on the first, which date will be comparatively free from imme- diate disturbing causes. Winds will be from west and north, with high barometer and cool weal lher generally About the } or3 the barometer will begin to fall in the west, winds will change to southernly and warmer, and c'oudiness with raiu in many sections will pass over the country from west to east during 8 to ,. The barometer will rise promptly behind these storms and brisk, cold winds will set in from the northwest, From about 6 to very cool nights with frost in northern sections will be more than probable. The and 10 will be central days of !reactionary storm conditions, with moon at her full and near the celestial equator. Lookout for warmer weather and more rain on and near the 10, turning to high, cold, nor, r,hwesterly gales over the northern lake regions from about II to F More or less frost will touch all the central and some southern section at this time. \ regular storm period extends from the, I to Is, including moon at apogee, greatest declination north and last quarter. As we enter this period it will grow much warmer, the barome- ter will fall in the west attended by cloudiness and rain, and during th4 l. to IS, low baromet ter, warmer weattl. CT and rains will probably progress eastWardly across the continent. Rising barometer will push close after the storms, causing cold, northwestern ly winds and snow, perhaps, along the rear of the storm erea. Very cool days with frosty nights may be eN- pected ill all northerly regions on and near the 19 and 20. The 2l and .z2 constitute another reactionary storm center about which dates barometers and thermometers will register changes the storm conditions. and more cloud ness and rain will take place in many sections, Another high barometer and cold winds from northwest will follow for two or three days,
 From about the 25 to 29 We predict will sail the most general and heavy disturbance of the month. I his period will be intensified by mercury disturbance, with moon at new, peri gee and greatest destination south X very marked low barometer will move out of the west early in the perit I, causing warm easterly and soutEeriy winds. Heavy storms of rain and wind, attended by lightning and thunder to the south. will visit many sections within IS hours of o'cioce p. m. on 26. No one need be surpliS ed to find these storms turning lo sleet and snow in northern parts uf the country, and 1t will be wise To anticipate general cold wave, fol- lowed by cold, frosty nights even in,o the south, during the closing days of October. All will understand. of course, that we mean "a cold Wave' for this time of year, not such an one as would be expected after the winter has fully come, We predict that heavy northwesterly storms will endanger shipping on our great northern lakes, and perhaps alaag the north Atlantic, during last st nm period in October and that n"Sth- western extremes will have tou.n of winter before the end of the month.
