THE WEATHER
IN NOVEMBER.
Rev. IrI Hicks in His "Word and
Works" Makes Predictions for
the November Weather Which

are Presented Here.
In studying the storm diagrams for
November, given with these forecasts,
the first thing to observe is that a
Venus period of disturbance is central
on the goth, and that its perturbing
influence extends from near the first
of the month into December. But
for this fact, there are few astronomi-
cal reasons why November should not
be comparatively placid month. But
at this season, especially in Jupiter
period, Venus disturbance will tend
to excite all the regular storm periods
ing the fluctuations of temperature.
more sudden and extreme, and caus-
ing a greater severity and prolonga-
tion of storm periods, especially over
the north Atlantic and lake regions.
The stars in connection with Friday
and Saturday, the 1st and I'd, indicate
that a reactionary disturbance will be
central on those dates, causing a rise
in temperature, falling barometer and
scattering storms and squalls of rain
and snow from about the 1st to the
Sd.
sharp, sudden rise of the barome-
ter and change to colder will follow
close after these disturbances, but as
sudden change back to storm condi-
tlons will come about the 5th in west
ern extremes.
The regular Vulcan storm period
begin on the 9TH, is central on the 18th
and extends to the 10TH The moon is
on the celestial equator on the 5th,
passing to it's south declination.
Hence marked rise of temperature,
with corresponding fall of the bar
ometer, followed by possible thunder
storms southwark, will set in early in
this Vulcan period About Wednes-
day the 9th to Sunday the 10th,
storms OF wind, rain and snow will
make their transit from west to east
across the country. Remember, storm
centers, like railroad trains, do not
cover the whole country at once, but
make their passages across it hence
storms will begin in western parts
days before they reach extreme east
ern sections, being in middle parts of
the country on intermediate days. A
decided cold wave will be we'll ad-
vanced from the northwest before the
low barometer and storms of this
period reach the Atlantic.
Only brief intermission will in
tervene between this Vulcan period
and the reactionary change due from
the 18th to the 18th. Conjunction of
the moon with sun and earth, or new
moon on the 18th, will check the ten
dency to high barometer and cold, and
sudden return to warmer, low bar
ometer and rain and snow will be nat
ural about Monday the 18th to Thurs
day the 14th. These reactionary
storms will be followed by a more
persistent and general change to win
try conditions, and sharp cold will be
general over central and northern Sec
tions for several days, leading up to
the Vulcan storm period central on
the 18th. This Vulcan storm period
extends from the 10Th to the Goth, the
Goth being the central day of the
Venus period, with the moon again
on the celestial equator in her passage
from south to north declination.
Some of the most decided storms of
the month may be expected from
about Sunday the 18th to Tuesday, the
21st. These storms will reach crisis
on and touching the goth, rain, wind
and thunder being followed in many
sections within a few hours by north
westerly gales, driving snow and
change to freezing Note this predic-
tion and heed it, or suffer discomfort
and loss in all regions to the north
ward. Danger may be apprehended
at this time all over the northern
lakes and on the north Atlantic seas.
The north Pacific ocean will not
wholly escape severe boreal storm at
this time.
The freezing weather following the
last storms will react to warmer from
the 23d to Goth. On the 25tth the
moon is full and in perigee, or nearest
to the earth. 1t is also in direct op-
position with earth and sun on the
Goth, causing an eclipse of the moon
in other parts of the earth. Look for
many more storms, largely of a biz
zardous character, not more than
forty eight hours before or after sun
down on the 25th, followed rapidly by
great rise of the barometer and a
rushing cold wave that will be felt
far to the south. Let shippers and
navigators on the north Atlantic and
lakes beware of dangerous gales and
change to hurtful cold during and be-
