OUR NOvEsBER WEATHER.
According To The Forecast Of Prof.
Hicks.

this month will be central on the ord
and 4th. On and touching these
days rise in temperature, falling
barometer, cloudiness and rain will
pass eastwardly from western ex.
'tremes to the Atlantic. The western
and northern sides of this and all
storm areas at this season, will most
likely turn to snow, and as the high
barometer pushes in from the north
west behind the storms, high, cold
winds and freezing, clearing weather
will succeed. Remember that, as a
rule, the cold, clearing weather be.
gins in the northwest before the
storm areas reach central and eastern
extremes Of the country. Actual
storms of rain and snow, as we'll as
the warm, fair weather behind them,
always pass, like great railroad
trains, from west to east across the
states. BY watching your barometer
and the heavens during the storm
periods, you may know with great
precision when the storms and
changes will arrive at your longitude
orlocality.
The second storm period for No
vember will be central on the 9th
extending from the 9TH to the Iath.
This is regular Vulcan period,
with moon at first quarter on the 9TH,
and on the celestial equator on the
nth. AS we enter we'll into this
period a marked change to warmer
will move out of western parts, fall.
ing barometer will follow, and WIDE
areas of autumnal rain will move
eastward from about the 9th to the
Iath. These storms will reach the
eliminating stage about the nth
with possible lighting and thunder
southwark, all followed from the
northwest by change to snow, rising
barometer and cold, clearing wealth
err. Watch and see.
The anti-storm conditions follow
ing the preceding period will break
down about the 18th and 10Th,
which are reac,ionary 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 eastwardly from the far west
over the country. Be on the watch,
first for warmer, pleasant weather,
then for cloudiness and rain, then
for shift of temperature and wind
with snow, then for high barometer,
stiff northerly gales and cold, clear
ing weather-not all at once on your
patch, but each in regular rotation.
One of the marked storm periods of
the month falls in and near the
center OF Mercury period. This
Vulcan period covers the 10Th to the
73rd. Be prepared at this time for
all the progressive phenomena of a
very active storm period. Low ba.
rometer and warmer will end in gen.
eral rains, rains will lead to snow
and sleet-look for Shetland snow
and sleet will be attended and fol.
lowed by change amounting to a
cold wave. This PERIOD will come
to its crisis about the 27nd and 73rd.
If vessels are navigating the lakes at
this time, great suffering and prob
able disaster will result. Let all
concerned take heed
On and touching the 76 and 77th,
the cloudy, unsettled weather, re-
sulting from the Mercury equinox,
will grow into decided autumnaI
storms of rain, wind and snow. In
all northern sections look for heavy
sleet. High northwesterly winds
and change to quite cold will follow
these storms. Let all outdoor work
be in gooc shape for winter storms
and weather before this time.
Frosts and freezing will penetrate
far into the south, along with the
high barometer behind these storms.
On the north Atlantic rough seas
and boresl weather will call for
extra care and caution. Read tele-
graphic news and see. AS the
month goes out storm period will
be in its first stage; il will be turn
ing warmer in the west, with falling
barometer and other indications OF
approaching storms. This period
will eliminate in the opening days
Of December.
