Hicks, forecasts for july.

A Venus disturbance is central on the 2nd, eS-
tending its influence beyond the middle OF the
month The effects of this Venus period VIII De
very marked during the regular Vulcan storm perl
cd extending from the 4th to the 10th. ON FRIDAY
and Saturday the 4th and 5th, moon is at her ex-
treme declination north. in perigee, and at new
moon. These facts foreshadow warm wave OF
great intensity, low state of barometric pressure,
a high per cent of atmospheric humidity, and some
wicked storms OF thunder, wind. rain and hail.
Such yisitations need not be unlocked for about
Friday the 4th. to Monday the 7th. Change toquite
cool for the season may naturally be expected on
the heels of these disturbances.
The 10th day of July is not strictly within the
limits of storm period, but it is the date on which
the moon crosses the celestial equator, and is cover
ed by the combined influences of the Venus and
Mercury periods Hence the reactionary storms
due about the 18th to 18th, will most probably de-
velop on and touching the 10th. Excessively warm
weather will exist prior to storm examinations at
this time. The opposition of the planet Saturn falls
ON the 17th and unless frequent and general cleo
trical storms occur to break up the concentration
of solar energy prolonged term of intensely warm
weather will continue through all the central part
of the MONTH 1t is to hoped that the three great
planets Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter have since the
summer of 1901 separated far enough from each
other, to divide the concentrated stream OF SOAR
energy through which our globe then passed on
lime 10Th the date of the fatal and devastating
storms in many sections we passed between Uranus
and the Sun. ON July 18th, we will pass between
Saturn and the Sun, and ON August 5th we will sail
in between the sun and great Jupiter. This segre-
gated order may allow breathing spells between
these planetary oppositions attended by storms
with frequent rains and fluctuations from phenom-
enaily warm to pleasantly cool weather. If we do
enct,n hrnk ana

electrical phenomena, general and severe drouth
will pIevail over most parts of the country up TO
the September equinox, and the present seismic
state of unrest will be prolonged
