nus period of disturbance is central on
the Goth, end that its perturbing influ
ence extends from near the first of the
month into December. But for this
fact, there are few astronomical reas-
ons why November should not he COM
paratively placid month. But at this
season, especially in a Jupiter period,
q Venus disturbance will tend to ex-
cite all the regular storm periods out
of their normal conditions, making
the fluctuations of temperature more
sudden and extreme, and causing q
greater severity and prolongation of
storm periods, especially over the north
Atlantic and lake regions.
The stars in connection with Friday
and Saturday, the 1st and End, indi-
cate that reactionary disturbance
will be central at those dates, causing
a rise in temperature, falling barome-
ter and scattering storms and squalls
of rain and snow from about the 1st
to the 3rd.
A sharp, sudden rise of the barome-
ter and change TO colder will follow
close after these disturbances, but as
sudden change back to storm condlt-
ions will come about the 5th in west
ern extremes.
The regular Vulcan storm period be-
gins on the 5th, is central on the 9TH
and extends to the 10th. The moon
is on the celestial equator on the 5th,
passing OTIS south declination. Hence
marked rise of temperature, with q
corresponding fall of the barometer,
followed by possible thunder storms
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 tho country.
Remember, storm centers, like rail-
road trains, do not cover the whole
country at once, but make their pas
sages across it, hence storms will be-
gin in western parts days before they
reach extreme eastern sections, being
in middle parts of the country on in
termediate days. A decided cold wave
will be we'll advanced from the north
west before the low barometer and
storms of this period reach the Allan
tic.
Only brief intermission will inter
vene between this Vulcan period and
the reactionary change due from the
l1th to the 18th. Conjunction of the
Moon with Sun and Earth, or new
Moon on the llth, will check the tend
ency to higher barometer and cold,
and sudden return to warmer, low
barometer and rain and snow will be
natural about Monday the 1lth to
Thursday the l4th. These reactlonary
storms will be followed by more per.
sistent and general change to wintry
conditions, and sharp cold will be gem
eral over central and northern sections
for several days leading up to the Vul.
can storm period central on the 18Th.
This Vulcan storm period extends
from the 10th to the 2O.h. 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 2lst. These
storms will reach crisis on and
touching the Goth, rain, wind and
and thunder being followed in many
sections within 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 es-
cape several 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 nearest
to the earth. 1t is also in direct oppo-
sitiOn 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 bliz-
zard chsrcter, not more thar 4S hours
before or after sundown on the 25th
followed rapidly by great rise of the
barometer and q rushing cold wave
that will be felt far to the south. A
regular Vulcan storm period, rein
forced by Mercury, Venus and Jupiter
periods, is central on the last day OF
November. Word and Works.
