Hicks Weather Forecasts For September.
In all probability a general storm
disturbance, central the last two days
in August, will still prevail in the
middle and eastern parts of the coun-
try during the first day or two of Sep
TENDER. The moon is full on August
Goth, is on the celestial equator on the
Both, the central day of Vulcan
storm period, and in perigee on Sep
TENDER 1st. We have before admon-
ished our readers that these facts
point to the probability of equatorial
storms to the southwark as we pass
from August into September. We do
not affirm that they must or will come
but there are sufficient reasons to APP
prehend them, and to make a pru-
dent watch on all marked indications
the right thing. If such barometric
depressions do not appear in and
around the regions of the gulf by
September 1st, the weather over the
interior will remain warm and dry
until we approach the great equinoc-
tial perturbations sure to develop
later in the month.
About the time of the moons last
quarter or extreme north declination
OH the 9Th, reactionary disturbances
will show themselves, when new
storm areas will appear, or general
storms, which may be advancing
from the equator, will become more
pronounced. The Mercury period is
central on the Sth, extending its in
t1uence from the list to the 18th. At
the same time the autumnal equinox,
being central on the 22nd, covers the
whole month with its perturbing in
tiuence. This does not imply that
storms or other disturbances must be
taking place all the time; but the re-
lations of the earth to the sun are
storm and weather "breedingn ener-
gies are entering and impregnating
and intensifying the elements 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 oppo-
site ends of the globe, or in the equi-
noctial period proper. One hundred
to one, the accompanying storm dia-
gram for September, and the AUDITING
periods in August and October storm
charts, will point out the centers of
all the great disturbances and changes
incident to the autumnal equinoctial
term. Watch and see and say for
yourself.
AS we enter the regular storm per-
iod, central on the 10th, we may eX-
pect very warm spell in most parts.
From about Monday, the 9th, to Fri
day, the 18th, barometric readings
will become disturbed, and danger
ously low depressions will admonish
of possible violence. Storms of this
period are apt to reach crisis on and
touching the 10th, 18th and 18th.
Tidal waves in the gulf and around
the coasts will be abnormally high
and fierce about the 18th and 18th.
In all probability general rain storms,
gales and changes of weather will
visit the interior of the continent at
this time, as well as the coast region.
The magnetic and electric forces that
normally lie dormant in our globe
and atmosphere, as a rule, reach a
maximum state of unrest and activ-
ity about September 18th. This is
often manifested by earth currents
and illuminating the north sky.
In all the foregoing forecasts we
have said that there were strong
probabilities of storms and storm
phenomena. We insist that this view
of the subject is reasonably correct.
But if high barometric pressure
should stubbornly dominate the gulf
regions up to the middle of the month,
it will remain hot and dry over most
of the country until that condition
breaks down, letting the heated, eff
fected atmosphere flow down across
the equator, and opening the door
way for autumnal storm and change.
