a sharp, sudden rise of the barom-
eter and change to colder will follow
close after these disturbances, but as
lions will come about the 9TH in west
ern extremes.
The regular Vulcan storm period
begins on the 9Th. is central on the
9TH and extends to the 10th. The
moon is on the celestial equator on
the 9Th, passing to its south declina-
ton. Hence marked rise of tenn
perature, with corresponding fall of
the barometer, followed by possible
thunder storms southwark, will set in
early in this Vulcan period. About
Wednesday, 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 centres, 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
eastern sections, being in middle parts
of the country on intermediate days.
A decided cold wave will be well ad-
vanced from the northwest before the
low barometer and storms of this per
iod reach the Atlantic.
Only brief intermission will inter
vene between this Vulcan period and
the reactionary change due from the
18th to the 14th. 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 a sudden return to warmer, low
barometer and rain and snow will be
natural about Monday, the 18th, to
Thursday, the 14th. These reaction
airy storms will be followed by more
persistent and general change to win
try conditions, and sharp cold will be
general over central and northern
sections for several days leading up
to the Vulcan storm period central
on the 18th. This Vulcan storm per-
iod 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 pass
age from south to north declination.
Some of the most decided storms of
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 pre-
diction and heed it, or suffer discom-
fort and loss in all regions to the
northward. Danger may be appre-
hended at this time all over the north
ern lakes and on the north Atlantic
seas. The north Pacific ocean will
not wholly escape severe bOreal storms
at this time.
The freezing weather following the
last storms will react to warmer from
the 23rd to goth. On the 25th the
moon is full and in perigee, or near
est to the earth. 1t is also in direct
opposition with earth and sun on the
25th, 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 As
hours before or after shutdown 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 hurt

storms.
A regular Vulcan storm period, re-
inforced by Mercury, Venus and Ju-
piter periods, is central ON the last
day of November. This means that
marked autumnal storms will be
brewing, if not already in progress.
as the month goes out. The climax
of this period will most likely fall in
the opening days of December, but
the first stages will be attended by
very low barometer and change to
much warmer, followed at first by
general and heavy rains. Later the
rain will turn to a general and de-
structiye sleet, and this in turn to
real snow storm and blizzard over
northern parts of the country.
