A Few Pointers ON Storms
From Rev. Irl Hicks.
The following forecasts for the
month of September are taken from
Word aud Works: i. j.
In all probability geneal storm
disturbance, seutral the last two days
in August, will still prevail in the
middle and eastern parts of tho
country during the first day or two OF
September. The moon is full Q n
August %, is on the celestial equator
on the 3Otb, the central day Of a Vul'
can storm period, and in perigee on
September LIST. We have before adj
monished our readers that these facts
point to the probability Of equatorial
storms to the southwark az we pass
f1om August into, September. We
do not affirm that they must or will
come, but there are sufient reasons to
apprehend them, and to make a pru'
dent watch on all marked indications
the right thing. II such barometric
depresions do not appear in and
around the gulf by September LIST,
the weather over the iuteriorl will re-
main warm and dry until we approach
the great equatorial perturbations
sure to develops later in the month.
About the time of the moons last
quater or extreme north declination
on the 5th. reactionary disturbances
will show themselves, when new
storm areas will appear, or general
storms, which may be advancing from
the equator, will become more pro-
nouneed. As may be seen by the
storm diagram, the Mercury period
is central on the 9Th, extending ito
influence from the LIST to the 18th.
At the same time the autumnal equi-
nox, being central on the 22nd, covers
the whole month with it's perturbing
influence. This does not imply that
storms or other disturbances must be
taking place all tho time; but the re-
lations of the earth to the sun are
such that storm and weather "breed'
ing" energies are entering and i'm
pregnating and intensifying the ele'
ments of the atmosphere and earth
all the time, and as a result Of these
things, storms and changes peculiar
to the season are apt to break out at
any time and sure to break out at
some time during the transition of the
seasons to opposite ends Of the globe
or, in the equinoctial period proper.
Az we enter the regular storm peri I'd
central on the 10th, we may expect q
very warm spell in most parts. From
about Monday, the 9th, to Friday, the
18th, barometric readings will become
disturbed, and dangerously low de-
pressions will admonish Of possible
violence. Storms of this period are
apt to reach crisis on and touching
the 10th, 18th, and 18th. In all pro-
liability general rain storms, gales
and changes of weather will visit the
interior of the continent at this ii me
as we'll as tho coast region. The
magnetic and electric forces that
normandy lie dormant in our globe
and atmosphere, as rule, reach
maximum state of unrest and activity
about September 18th. This is often
manifested by earth: currents nd
auroral displays, disturbing telegra-
ply and illuminating the north sky.
The reactionary storm period, CEN
trail about the 10th and 18th, will
bring perceptible changes to storm
conditions-changes to warmer, fall
ing barometer, growing cloudiness,
and precipitation; but more general
and energetic disturbances are al
most certain to result during the
Vulcan storm period central on tn Q
22ud, coincident with the central of
earth's autumnal equinox. Ordinarily
about Saturday, the 2lst. to Tuesday
the 25st., would be the danger days
of this period; but we figure that
equatorial, or " est India storms will
be more probable and violent from
about the Goth to the 3Oth. During
these last days moon is on the equat'
or on the 26tu, full on the 28th, peri
gee on the 29th. Tidal waves will
reach to maximum in many parts OF
the earth during this period, central
on the 18th and 29th. If a touch of
frost, snow, and early winter visit re-
