A combination Of astronomio events
out Of tho ordinary falls on and about
the opening Of July. Tho opposition
of tho plauot Jupiter-Thof world
greater than all other planets and
moons combined falls on Juno 3Oth.
and tho opposition of Saturn, tho noxt
greatest planet, falls on July 9th. Tho
full moon, or moon in opposition to
cal tn aud sun, and honoe in copjunotion
with both Jupiter and Saturn, falls on

with earth and Mercury in apholion,
and Venus in porihelion. Suoh q bal
anoing aud lining up of tho worlds is
not an ordinary occurrence, and to say
just what tho result should bo, ia
meteorological way, is not an entirely
easy thing in our present state Of
knowledge. gss

kept in mind that wo arc still noar tho

ing up with moon on tho cslostioal
equator on tho 6.h. We fcol warranted
in saying that o maximum tendency to
seismic, electrical and volcanic pertur-
batIons is moro than probable undor
this condition Of things. We havo also
many tlmos oallod attention to the fact
suoh remarkable oopjunotions and op-
positions of other planets with earth
and sun, has q marked tendency to
aoattor and segrogate tho solar oncrgy
in that part Of tho oelostial loneitudo
occupied by an unusual asgemblago Of
planets.
These things boing reasonably prob
able, wo predict that the worlds COR
reos record will show a atste Of oosmio
and meteorological unroat during tho
closing days of Juno and we'll into
July. lot it ba positively understood
that we do not predict anything out Of

Tho storm period contral on July
3td, shown in tho storm diagram
will bring q series Of very aotivo
storms, during which She frequont and
marked fluctuations Of tho barometer
will both bo an admonition and oousti-
tute study. Tho oneoming of storm
areas may bo attended with very high
Temperatures in scattered sections of
this and other oontinonts but we pre-
dict that tho phonomcnally low tom
peratures will be realized gonorally.
Ordinarily, we would namo tho 3rd,
18th and 9th as days. Of greatest storm
| dsngor, but under the unusual oondi-
tions prevailing, they are probable any
timo from the lst to tho 9th.
Reactionary storm conditions will
exist on tho 9th to 10th, continuing
| probably over the moons ror:gee cn
the 1lth. Falling barometer, rising
temperature and winds from tho cast
and south will proceed tho actual
storms and pr oipitation OF this and all
othor July periods.
Tho central storm period for July
falls from tho 13 3sh to tho 18th. Tho
crisis Of this period will fall from Sun
day, tho 18th, to Wednesday, tho 18 h.
Barometrio aud atmospheric conditions

just as positively will the qamel things

This central Vulosn period for'July is
embraced in the Venus period shown
by tho storm diagram to bo central on
July 3lst. The ono thing that gives
possible hope for rains over intorior
parts Of our country during tho last
half Of July and tho first half OF Au-
gust, IL tho prosonco of this Venus
period. If sutHoient humidity should
not be present during tho regular storm
days in this Venus period, there is
| great probability OF extreme heat and
hot, withoring winds, especially in the
opon grain regions of tho wost and
northwest. Thunder gusts arc always
probable when tho moon psssos tho
celestial equator in summer, the 10 III
of July being such a date.

! probability Of rain and storms at this
time is incroased by the prosenoe of a
Mercury period, blended with that OF
Vonus, central of tho 26 III and extend
ing from tho 21st to 3lst.
More or loss rain with probable
cloudbursts, hail and dangerous winds
noed not surprise any ono during the
storm period which is central on the
26th. One Of tho warmeBt torrns of tho
summer may be expected in connection
with this poriod, and many storm
clouds with severe thandor gusts will
bo natural about Thursday, the 25.h,
TO Sunday, the 18th. Destructive hail
storms arc moro than probable at this
period, as woll as at other periods with.
in tho Venus braeo. The great hoat
probable at this timo will break up at
the conclusion Of tho storms, and very
cool nights for tho season will follow in
most parts of tho country, especially in
tho northwest. IL rains do not appear
during tho last ton days Of July, the
outlook for rain in tho great western
ana northwestern grain regions is not
encouraging for tho ros: Of the summon
and oariy autumn. Tho last two de-, 8
