will oe followed by rising barome-
ter aud cooler, westerly winds. so
that western and central sections
will be behind the storm area by
August lst, the Atlantic coast re-
gions being still. perh Fps. in storm
area as the month opens. On and
touching the 4th and 5,h there will
be prrcertiblc reaction to storm
conditions. The moon is on the
celestial equator on the Alb, and
markell atmospheric aud electrical
unrest will be natural on and next
to that date. Change TO higher
barometer aud notifications Of
summer heat ,will pass over the
country in the interim between the
9Th and 9Th. Note local condi-
tions and read general and official
reports and see.
The storm diagram shows
"Vulcsn" storm period from the
9th to 18th. During this time
correct watching will show that
much higher temperature will be-
gin in western extremes, that ba
rometer will begin to fall in the
same sections early in the period,
attended by more or less storm and
storminess, and that these condl-
tions will work eastward across the
continent by about the 18th. After
ward, say from about the 18th to
10th, barometric conditions will
change. westerly, cooler winds will
set In, aud fair weather will prevail
In most parts of the country. From
the 10th to 18Th falls reactionary
time of disturb .nce, EN- bracing
new moon on the 18th and moon
on equator on the 18Th.
Look for excessively warm weather
at this time, eliminating on and
touching the 18th and 18th in
much thunder, high gales and
scattering rains.
There will probably ensue
change to cooler weather imme.

many storms of wind, thunder and
rain will transpire. Wills storms
of wind, thunder and local rains
are apt to occur on land at this
time, the main centers of disturb
ance will be up the gulf regions
and along the Atlantic. Coast
towns, cities aud shipping, should
keep ugiiant watch for all storm
iadicitions and signals. What is
true OF this continent is equally an.
pIicable TO all other divisions of
the globe which lie along the great
storm belts. The cruses that pro.
duce these great disturbances are
universal, and it is a mistaken idea
that meteorological phenomena
reach maximum in one part of
the globe without being felt IN
greater or less intensity all round
the world.
Reactionary storms and storm
conditions will return about the
9th, 18th and 59th. This implies
that it will turn much warmer. the
barometer will fall, and wind will
blow from breeding directions, fol
lowed by forms of cloudiness that
prscedes actual storms. A Mcrcury
equinox is in force the closing DAYS
of August. Moon IS at perigee on
the 18th and both full aud on the
equator on the 31st. There is a
somewhat unusual disposing Of
nearly all the members of the solar
system during the last half of the
mouth. While these com binations
may have a balancing, pacific in
fiuence on our terrestrial meteorol-
ogv, that we do not now see or un-
derstand, we believe that, all things
considered, severe Disturbances, es.
pec'ally on the sens and ooasts,
mty reasonably be apprehcnded as
the month goes nut.
