ELEVENTH MONTH.
1t Will Be A Month Of Varied Changes
From Heat To 0old-From Storm

The Planets,

Inc flanets'
The following forecast is what the Rev.
Irl Hicks, OF Almanac and H5ya .And
H0yks fame. predicts for the month OF
| November, the eleventh month of the
first year of the twentieth century
"The stars in connection with Friday
and Saturday, the Ist and and, indicate
that a reactionary disturbance will be
central on those dates, causing rise in
| temperature, falling barometer and scat
tering storms and squalls OF rain and
snow from about the Ist 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 conditions will
come about the 5th in western extremes.
The regular Vulcan storm period begins
on the 5th, is central on the 9Th and ex-
tends to the 10th. The moon is on the
celestial equator on the sth, passing to
its south declination.
"Hence a marked rise of temperature,
with corresponding fall OF the barome-
ter, followed by possible thunder storms
southward, ard 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 centers. like railroad
trains, do not cover the whole country at
once, but make passage 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 we'll advanced
from the northwest before the low barom-
eter and storms of this period reach the
Atlantic. Only brief intermission will
intervene between this Vulcan period
and the reactionary change due from the
nth TO the I4th. Conjunction of the
moon and sun and earth, or new moon
on the 18th, will check the tendency to
high barometer and cold, and a sudden
return to warmer, low barometer and
rain and snow will be natural about Mon
day the nth to Thursday the I4th.
"These reactionary storms will be fol-
lowed by more persistent and general
change to wintry conditions, and sharp
cold will be general over central and
northern sections for several days lead
ing up to the Vulcan storm period central
on the 18th. This Vulcan storm period
extends from the 10Th to the 10th, the
10th being the central day of the Venus
period, with the moon again on the celes-
tial equator in her passage from south to
north declination. Some of the most
decided storms OF the month may be ex-
pected from about Sunday, the 18th, to
Tuesday, the 2Ist. These storms will
reach a crisis on and touching the 10th
rain. wind and thunder being followed
in many sections within few hours by
northwesterly gales, driving snow and
change to freezing.
"The freezing weather following the
last storms will react to warmer from the
23rd to the 10th. On the 25th the moon
is full and in perigee, or nearest to the
earth. 1t is also in direct opposition with
the earth and sun on the 25th, causing
an eclipse OF the moon in other parts OF
of the earth. Look for many more
storms, largely of blizzard character,
not more than forty-eight hours before or
after sundown on the 25th, followed
rapidly by great rise of the barometer
and rushing cold wave that will be felt
far to the south. A regular Vulcan
storm period, reinforced by Mercury,
Venus and Jupiter periods, is central on
the last day OF November.
