HICKS, Forecasts for September.


In all probability a general storm disturbance,
central the last two days in August, VIII still pre-
vail in the middle and eastern parts of the country
during the first day or two of September. The
moon is full August 10Th, is the celestial
equator the Both, the central day Of q Vulcan
storm period, and in perigee on September 1st
These facts point to the probability of equatorial
storms 10 the southwark as we pass from August
into september. If such barometric depressions do
appear in and around the regions OF the gun py
September LIST, the weather over the interior VIII
remain warm and dry until we approach the great
equinoctIal perturbations sure to develop later I'm
the month.
About the time of the moons last quarter or ex-
IRENE north decIination on the 5th, reactionary
disturbances will show themselves, when new storm
areas will appear or general storms. which may be
advancing from the equator, win become more
pronounced The Mercury period is central on the
sth extending its influence from the LIST to the 18TH
At the same time the autumnal equinox. being CEN
trail on the 22nd covers the whole month with its
perturbing influence. This does not imply that
storms or other disturbances must be taking place
all the time but the relations of the earth to the
sun are such that storm and weather breeding
energies are entering and impregnating and inten-
styling the elements of the atmosphere and earth
all the time and as result of these things. storms
outat 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.
As we enter the regular storm period central on
the 10th, we may expect very warm spell in most
parts. From about Monday, the 9th, to Friday, the
lsth barometric readings will become disturbed,
and dangerously low depressions will admonish of
possible violence 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 i'll our
globe and atmosphere, as a rule, reach maximum
state of unrest and activity about September 11th
This il often manifested by earth currents and
auroral displays disturbing telegraphy and illumi-
mating the north sky.
The reactionary storm period, central about the
10th and 18th, will bring perceptible changes to
storm conditions-changes to warmer, falling ba-
rometer. growing cloudiness and precipitation but
more general and energetic disturbances almost
certain to result during the Vulcan storm period
central on the 22nd eoincident with the center of
earth's autumnaI equinox Ordinarily about Sat
urday the 2lst to Tuesday, the 2ith, would be the
danger days of this PERIOD but we figure that equa-
toral or West India storms will be more probable
and violent from about the Doth to the Goth. During
these last days moon is the equator on the 26h'
full on the 2Sth and in perigee on the 18th. Tidal
waves win rise to maximum in many parts OF the
earth during this period, central on the 2Sth ana
29th. If a touch of frost, snow and early winter
visit regions northward at the close of these dis
turbanccs readers well up i'll our theory and fore
casts will not be surprised or caught mapping.
