The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1900-07-28
HICKS Forecast for August.

A Vulcan storm period, dominated
by Mercury period. extends from
the 3nd to the 18th, Moon is at first
quater on the 3rd and at greatest
declination on the 9th. One OF the
swells OF temperature. or cheated
term, y will rise to maximum warmth
passing over the country from west
to east during this period, but Moon
being at south declination, northerly
atmospheric tides will tend to temper
the heat, which otherwise at this
time would prove very severe. Fall
ing barometer will also appear at
this time, and black, clustering
clouds, with thunder. will present a
show of rain in many sections. But
the rainfall will hardly be the need
full amount, even in sections where it
has been too abundant earlier in the
season. Storms and storminess of
this period will be at their crisis
about the 4th to 9th inclusive. A
break in high temperature ought to
occur from about the 9th to 9th,
but a Mercury mugginess, with
much cloudiness will prevail all
through this part of the Mercury
psstarbation, which. as the storm
Hdiagram shows, is central on the Sth
extending from the End to 14th.
From the 9th to 10Th inclusive is
a reactionary storm period in which
will fall the eliminating effects of the
Mercury period, the Moon being at
full, perigee, and on the celestial
equator on the 10th, 18th and 18th.
Storms will develope at this time,
also, over interior parts OF the coun-
try, heavy thunder gusts and some
local transforms. amounting in
places to watersponts. If the tropic-
al storms off and along our south
coasts are intense and close enough
to induce high barometric conditions
from our north and northwest, our
interior storms at this time will
break up in unreasonable, phenom-
enally cool weather. over much of
our continent northward. Storms
at this time, and during the remain
der of the month, will partake of the
autumnal equinoctial perturbation,
the local manifestations will be only
parts of general and far-reachlng
disturbances, the combined influences
of Earth and Venus cover much of
this month, including the Vulcan
storm period extending from the
18th to 18th. This period will Gull
inmate on and about the 18th, 10th
and 18th, during which storms,
northeasterly, backing to north and
northwesterly winds are probable in
northern and central states, in
which event, cool weather, much
eloudiness and general rains in
southern sections may be counted
on. Indeed the indications are such,
under normal astronomic conditions,
as to promise general rains at this
central August period. The storm
period IA to 18th, will begin with
falling barometer, and the tempera-
ture will rise to high readings, pro-
gressively from west to east, in
advance of the actual storm areas,
but after storms of thunder, rain,
wind ana hail in many localities,
look for very sudden and great
change to cooler. Remember. this
is the one marked characteristic of
the Venus equinox-hrst very warm,
to hot, followed by vicious lightn-
ing and thunder, attended with
downpours of hail and rain and end
ing quickly it phenomenally cool
weather.
A marked reaction to storm con-
ditions will set in on the reactionarv
storm days, Pend to oath, the high
temperature reaching eliminating
stage about time OF the New Moon
on the oath The storms of this
period will probably continue until
they blend with the perturbations of
the regular Vulcan period whichcov
ers the 25th to Goth. This is at the
center OF the Venus period, with |
Moon on the celestial equator and |
in apogee, all increasing the pro-
liability of marked atmospheric
turmoil
