Hicks, Forecasts for October.

October will begin with reactionary storms
Of rain. and possibly snow to the north, pass
ing easiwardy over the country. New moon
on the 1st will cause higher temperature, with
electrical storms, high tides and probably
seismic disturbances on and touching that
date, but cold gales from the northwest with
rising barometer will follow quickly. During
the Vulcan storm period. 4th TO 9Th, the
weather will grow decidedly warmer, begin
ming in western parts and moving eastward,
the barometer will fall at the same time, and
cloudiness and rain will follow, touching most
parts of the country in their eastward pro.
gress about Sunday the 9th to Wednesday the
9th. Storms Of this period promise to be
general and severe, with great probability of
wintry aspects in all northerly directions.
Snow with heavy sleet are entirely probable,
followed by high barometer and cold. The
Mercury period is central on the 10th and
continues TO the 10th, and this fact blended
with others will cause unsettled, stormy
weather. perhaps, outside of the regular
periods. Much cloudiness with drizze
and sleet are results to be expected dur
ing much of the Mercury period. A rise in
temperature and rain and snow storms of in
creased extent and energy, will be natural on
and touching the 18th and 18th.
The Vulcan storm period, central on the
Lin anu CUferiHS tue lOtu 10 ZUtu, is
within the Venus period. Storms over the
great lake region and along the north
Atlantic promise TO endanger shipping and
life. Even the gulf regions will not be
exempt from notable perturbations Rain,
snow and sleet will visit most interior sections,
and big October cold wave and very high
barometer will wind up The period. Such are
the probabilities, not the absolute certaiEties.
1t an excess of storms and rough weather fail
to materialize at this time, look for unseason-
ably warm weather, with many seismic phe-
nomena and unusual perturbations of the
ocean tides. The fact to be emphasized is
that normally will not be the rule; The as
tronomic condition indicates one extreme or
the other.
Reaction to much warmer, with falling
barometer and more rain, turning to snow
northward, will be natural results on and
touching the 23rd and oath. All these October
periods will end in more or less storminess,
with stiff, cold gales over the great lakes and
the northwest generally. By the middle of
the month the boreal waves and frosts will
reach quite to the gulf regions.
The last five days of the month are covered
by regular storm period, blended with the
Venus disturbance at its center, with Moon on
the celestial equator on the 9th and new
again on the 31st. The indications are that
storms tropical in kind, with thunder and rain
southwark, will come during the first develop
ments of this period. But as the rising ba
rometric area from the northwest impinges on
the low barometer to the southwark, rains
will quickly merge into sleet and snow, and
boreal blasts will spread southwark and east
ward quite over the country.

Importance of Registration.
TO THE DEMOCRACY OF THE STAT

TO THE DEMOCRACY OF THE STATE:
I have already earnestly urged the Democ-
racv of Baltimore City to be sure TO register
and 10 declare their PARTY utilization" as
Democrats, so as to be qualified to take part
in the primaries in the City next April.
| now especially address myself to the
Democracy of the State. In the counties the
offices of registration will be open for regis
tration on Tuesday. September Both, and on
Tuesday, October It'll, between the hours oil
a. m. and p. M, and on the 18th OF Octo
Der for reUisi0n only.
Note carefully these dates and see to il that
all Democrats, who have thus far failed to
register, no longer postpone the performance
of this most pressing duty; and that all those
who ere now for the first time entitled to be
enrolled as voters 60 and register.
In addition to securing the registration OF
all qualified Democrats, careful and close ex-
animation of the books of registration should
be made for the purpose of striking of the
names of all that have died or become dis
qualified, and also of all names enormously
or fraudulently registered.
1t is believed that in some OF the counties
MANY names will be found on the registration
books which ought never to have been placed
there.
These names should be stricken off, so that
only the names of bona fide citizens of the
State and real residents in the several election
districts shall be suffered to remain,
| earnestly urge you to organize thoroughly
in each election precinct. Get full list OF
all registered voters.
.Scriainize these lists. Mark the names OF
all persons who are not known to be actual
residents of the precinct, and challenge, III
the mode pointed out by law, the right OF
these persons to have their names kept upon
the registration books.
Tai,e this work in hand at once. 1t will
moi he difficult or tedious if you begin 1t
promptly by means of active and Intelligent
committees in each precinct.
The result of this diligent and vigilant labor
will purge the books of large numbers OF
names of persons who are not entitled to
vote and who should not be permitted to con-
troll or influence our election, and will greatly
help us in our effort to restore TO Maryland a
solid delegation of Democrats in the House
of Representatives.
The Democrats of Maryland should exert
themselves 10 the utmost TO aid IN tins great
and important achievement.
Your first duty aow is to get the r:me OF
every qualified Democratic voter on the regis
traflon books and to cause these books TO he
pnrged of all disqualified and fran lulent
names.
When this task is thoroughly accomplished
nothing NOR, will he needed but 10 arollse The
enthu .iasn of the rank aud hie of our party
in all sections of the State, and the 9TH OF No
vember will surely witness great aud graft
fying Democrat victory.
