HICKS FOR NOVEMBER.

The first storm movements for this
month will be central on the Ord and
4lh. On and touching these days a rise
in temperature, falling barometer,
cloudiness and rain will pass eastwardly
from western extremes to the Atlantic.
The western and northern sides of this
and all storm areas at this season, viii
most likely turn to snow, and as the
high barometer pushes in from the
northwest behind the storms, high cold
winds and freezing, CLEARING weather
will succeed Remember That as a rule,
the cold, clearing weather begins in the
northwest before the storm areas reach
central and eastern extremes OF the
country. Actual storms Of rain and
snow, as well as the warm, fair weather
before. and the cold, fair weather be-
hind them, always pass like great rail-
road tiains. from west to east across the
States. BY watching your barometer
and the heavens during the storm
periods, you may know with great pre-
cision when the storms and changes viii
arrive at your longitude or locality.
The second storm period for Ncv,m-
ber will be central on the 9th extending
from the 7th to the 18th. This is rec
ular Vulcan period, with moon at first
quarter on the 7tb, and on the celestial
equator on the 18th. As we enter well
into this period a marked change to
warmer will move out Of western parts
falling barometer will follow, and wide
areas of autumnal rain will move east
ward from about the 9th to the 18th.
These storms will reach the eliminating
stage about the llth with possible light
ming and thunder southwark, all follow
ed from the northwest by change to
snow, rising barometer and cold, clear
ing weather. Watch and see.
The anti-storm conditions following
the preceding period will break down
about the 9th and 10th, which are re-
dictionary storm days. The moon Is full
on the 18th and at her perigee on the
10th. also at her highest point northward
in the sky on the 18th. Therefore on
and touching the 18th and 10Th low
barometer, rising temperature and WIDE
areas of renewed rain, turning to snow,
generally to northward, will pass east
wardy from the far west over the coun'
try. c
One of the marked storm periods OF th'
month falls in and near the center oil
Mercury period. This Vulcan perlc'
covers the 18th TO the 2Srd. BE prepar
ed at this time for all progressive phenom
ena of a very active storm PERIOD
Low barometer and warmer will end II
General rains, rains, will lead to snov
and sleet-look for sleet-and snow am
sleet will be attended snl followed b.
change amounting to a cold wave
This period will come to Its crisis abou
the 22nd and 23rd.
On and touching the 25th and 2'tl
the cloudy and unsettled weather, re
sulting from the Mercury equinox, vii
grow into decided autumnal storms 0
rain. wind and snow. In ali MOTHER
sections look for heavy sleet, Hlg
northwesterly winds and change TO quit
cold will follow these storms. Let a
outdoor work be in good shape for win
ter storms and weather before this time
Frosts and freezing will penetrate IA
into the south -along with the hig
barometer behind these storms. AS IN
month goes out storm period will be !
its first stages; it will be turning warme
in the west, with low barometer an
other indications ofapproaching storm
This period will continue into the opeI
ing day OF December.
