HICKS FOR APRIL.
Month of Thunder Storms And Change
able Weather.

month or Thunder Storms And Change
able Weather.
The storm period central on March 3ls
will reach its elimination during the Isl
and End days of April. Look for very
warm weather for the season during the
first days of April, ending with thunder
storms, with mixed rain and hail in many
localities. Very cool nights with frost in
all northern regions, will likely follow
during the days following this storm
period. On the 5th and 9th will center
reactionary changes to much warmer, with
vernal shower, mixed here and there with
local hall. All these early April storms
will probably be attended with furries of
snow in northern extremes, and followed
at their close by nights cool enough for
frosts, even in central sections of the coun-
try.
The regular Vulcan storm period extend
ing from the 9th to the IA, will bring a
marked fall of the barometer and very
warm days. Moon being on the equator
on the 11th, the central day of the period,
heavy thunder storms will be natural on
or about that date. There is probability
of hail storms with almost every marked
storm development. especially when high
temperature exists locally during the
month of April. The disturbances center
ing about the 11th to 18th, will break up
with snow squalls northward about Satur-
day the 14th, this being the date of the
Easter full Moon. There are strong proba-
bilities that Easter Sunday in most parts of
the country, central and northward, will be
two chilly for a general, comfortable or
rational participation In the annual dis
play of the millinery art. On and touch
ing the 18th and 18th the barometer will
fall, the temperature will rise and April |
showers will visit most parts of the country. |
Cool, northerly winds will follow showers |
and prevail generally until the Moon works
up from her south declination toward the
celestial equator, which point she reaches
during the regular storm period extending
from the 2lst to 25th. During this Vulcan
storm period, the Venus disturbance,
which is central in May, will begin to be

the 26th look for wave of un-
warmth, and for very. low baro-
meter, followed by some of the most gen.
eral and decided storms of the month.
Much hail and thunder will attend these
storms, with the possibility of tornado de-
velopment in sections along the south side
Of barometric depressions. Local condi-
tons will give ample warnings in case OF
probable violence-waFnings that cannot
be misunderstood by those who are willing
to exercise common sense. Look for rapid
change to very cold weather, with frosts
very probable for two or three nights north
ward, at the close of this storm period.
About the 2Sth, the date of new Moon, a

An Easter problem solved,


A curious question has arisen in Eng
land about the date of Easter Day this
year. The rule laid down in the Book of
Common Prayer, which is the authority
there, is as follows; Easter Day is always
the first Sunday after the full moon which
happens upon or next after the 21st day of
March; and if the full moon happens upon
a Sunday, Easter Day is the Sunday after"
The hours of sunrise and sunset are differ
ent in England from the United States, ex-
cept on the two equinoctial days, England
being in higher latitude than any part Of
the United States. The hours Of the
changes of the moon are also different.
In the latitude of Baltimore the full moon
which happens on or next after March
2lst, this year, is on April 14th, at 8.02 P.
NJ. There can be no doubt, therefore, that
in the United States and in all the countries
of the same latitude April 18th is Easter
Day. But in England the full moon hap
pens on Sunday, April 18th, at o'clock
A. NJ Therefore, according to the strict
rule, Easter Day there should be April
22nd, and that would be different Easter
from ours. The question thus raised in
England is of business as well as of religious
Importance, for Monday in Easter week is
bank holiday, and no uncertainty could
be allowed. The attention of the Cabinet
was called to the matter. when, as cores
pondent of the New York Sun states, the
Attorney General solved the difficulty by
declaring that the Parliament had enacted
q law in former years fixing the paschal
full moon for the year 1900 on April 14th in
defiance of the calendar and the actual
fact. The same question, the Attorney.
General said, had arisen in 1918 and in
1s45, aada fictitious or legal full moon be-
came necessary to preEsat having different
Easter Days in different parts of the United
Kingdom.

uARVARD.YALE BOAT RACES
Yale Won the Eight Dared Varsity Shell
Race - Harvard the FouT-
Dared Race.

New London, Conn, June 90
Yale won the eight-oared varsity
shell race yesterday, beating Harvard
by about six lengths. With the four
oar and freshmen races won, and
handsomely won, too and with a
lead, when nearing the finish in the
big varsity event, defeat came to
Harvard in a sudden and unexpected
manner Harding, the stroke, who
had replaced the disabled Capt. Hig-
ginson, collapsed before the 31s-
mile flag was reached and Harvard
finished with seven oars. So that
Yale was a hollow victor. The four
cared race, as was expected, proved
rather an easy victory for Harvard.
The crimson substitutes took the
lead at the snap of the pistol and had
no difficulty in keeping it. The
freshman contest was something of
disappointment to the New Haven
men, for the Yale youngsters had
been picked as winners.

replied in part as follows: "rhe
