Prince Henry at Annapolis, Md.

Correspondence of the Democratic Advocated
ST. JoHNs COLLEGE, ANNAPOLIS, Md.
March l, 1902.
At 80 a. M, February the 28th, mid the
down pouring torrents of rain, peals of thunder,
contrasted by the music of the Naval Academy
Band, Prince Henry of Prussia, stepped from
his special train at Annapolis, into the carriage
of Superintendent Richard Wainwright of the
Naval Academy.
The weather was the most unfavorabie that
could possibly have been conceived by the
least conservative weather bureau. Had it
not been for this fact the Prince would not
have received more magnificent reception
any where than that prepared to greet him at
the "Ancent City, but the divine powers
interlered and many of the outdoor exercises
were from necessity abandoned.
The National Guards were out and their
troops formed a line along both sides of Col
lege Avenue and King George street where
Superintendent Wainwright with the Princes
company were to pass along. The Marine
corps were at the station.
The st. Johns College battalion was in line
on the campus along the Avenue to do honors
to the royal Prince. When the carriages con-
tanning the guests passed, the battalion exc
cuted very pro6cently the salute due the Prince.
The carriages entered the Academy at gate
number four where the Naval Cadets were in
line and gave the usual salute and dress pa
rade marching to the tune of German music.
After taking in all the beauties of the Naval
Academy grounds and buildings the Prince
was escorted to the house of Superintendent
Wainwright where he was entertained until 2
p. m., when he returned to the train amid the
splendor and pomp of our Naval officers.
Surely Annapolis gave the Prince most
hearty welcome and pleasant stay.

Hicks Forecasts for March.

A Vulcan storm period is central on the LIST
day of March, lasting up to about the 4th.
From Saturday the LIST to about Tuesday the
9TH, general and heavy storms of rain, sleet,
snow and wind will be most natural. In south
ern and central parts of the continent, very
low barometric conditions at this time, with
change to very warm, southerly winds, will in
dictate dangerous and even tornado storms.
All through the Mercury period, which ends
about the 10TH cloudy. threatening weather
will prevail, but renewed storm conditions will
be marked from the 9Th to the 10th inclusive.
As we approach new moon on the 9th IT will
grow much warmer, falling barometer will APP
pear in western parts, and very decided storms
will quickly follow, travelling eastward and
touching most sections of the country from
about the 9Th to the 10th. Very high tides
with probably dangerous equinoctiaf gales
about the gulf and Atlantic oastregions, will
be most natural at this time. All sections
dominated by warm, equatorial currents at
this time will be visited by heavy thunder
and lightning, and many Venus downpours
OF rain aud hail. The chances are good for
continued and general storms over the 10th
and into period extending from the 11th to
the 18th.
A reactiouary storm period will center on
and about the 10Th and Doth, at which time
change to warmer, falling barometer and wide
areas of more rain and snow will pass eastward
across the country until after the full moon
in March will wind up with decided changes
to colder, and bizzardous squalls of seet and
snow in all the northward part of the country.
Do not lose sight of this prediction, and do not
neglect to make all possible provisions for the
feeding aud protection of your live stock;
The storm period in which Boreas and the
equinoctial powers will make ono Of their final
and worst clashes is central on the oath, COW
ering the 21st to 26th. Dangerously high
tides, attended with violent equinoctial gales
aud storms, need not surprise any one on and
along the gulf and Atlantic ocean, from the
2lsi to 26th inclusive. The days of greatest
probable violence in this period will be Sunday
the 23rd to Wednesday the Goth. Very decid..
ed northwesterly storms will rush southwark
and eastward at this time as a counterpart to
the equatorial storms, causing probable lorna
does in localities where the opposing influences
meet, and bringing snow and billiards. to
many parts of the country, even in the central
states.
