HICKS, Forecasts for January.

The first day of the new year is the central
day of a Vulcan storm period. The Moon
will be at extreme north declination ON the
End and at The full on the 4lh. The indica-
tons are that change TO southerly winds,
rising temperature and falling barometer will
be spreading eastward from western parts of
the county in the opening days of January,
resulting in rain and snow progressively across
the country from about the End to 9th, the
eliminating storms of the period falling on
and next to the Bird and 4th. A very active
high barometer will follow these storms close
ly out of the northwest, accompanied by high
northwesterly winds and cold wave. The
Moon being at extreme north declination at
this time will tend 10 hold the atmospheric
tide northward from the equator, preventing
in all probability that extreme cold which might
certainly be expected were the Moon at her
south declnation. Reactionary disturbances
will appear On and about The 7th to 9Th, caus
ing chuage to warmer with falling barometer
and more rain and snow These perturbations
will eliminate on and touching the 9th, the
date of the Moons passage southwark across
The celestial equator. Change 10 high barom-
eter and much colder will wind up The reac-
lionary storms.
On and about the 18th look for rapid fall
of the barometer in all western sections, fol
lowed by rising temperature ana more storms
of rain, wind and snow from the 18th to the
18th The Moon is at apogee and last quar-
ter OH the 18th. facts tending TO squalls and
clustering storms on and near that date. The
indications are that cold wave of wide extent
and marked severity will bring up the rear Of
storms from about the 18th to 14th, causing u
general spell of very cold weather up 10 the
reaciionary changes due about the 18th TO the
Doth. On these dates there will be return
to falling barometer, rising temperature and
more storms of rain. wind and snow. Another
sudden and sharp cold wave will follow these
storms, spreading east and south Immediately
after the new Moon on the both.
The Moon is in perigee and on the celestial
equator on the 23rd, the central day of a reg
ular storm period. The Mercury period also
extends into this period. We predict that
marked fall of the barometer and change to
warmer will set in about the 23rd, that storms
of rain and probable thunder will develop in
southern sections, and that snow, sleet and
billiards will visit central and northern Sec
lions from about the 23rd 10 10Th. Arctic
currents will flow down to meet the tropical
conditions southwark, drawing great cold
wave down over most parts of the country
about the 24lh to 9th. Mercury sleet storms
will be Accomplishments to all the disturbances
during the last part of January and into Feb
ruary This will he especially noticeable dur
ing reactionary storms which may be expected
during the 9th to Goth.
