HICKS FOR OCTOBER.

October will begin with reactionary
storms of rain, and possibly snow to the
north, passing eastware'y over the coun-
try. New moon on the 1st Will cause
higher temperature, With electrical
storms, high tides and probably seismic
disturbances on touching that date, but
cold gales from the northwest with rising
bate.aeter will follow quickly. During
the Vulcan storm period, 4th to 9th,
the wsa''ier win grow decidedly wa. -ner,
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1902-09-30

beginning 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 progress 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 18th. Much
cloudiness with drizzle and sleet are re-
suits to be expected during much of the
Mercury period. A rise in temperature
and rain and snow storms of increased
extent and energy, will be natural on
and touching the 18th and 18th.
The Vulcan storm period, central on
the 18th and covering the 18th to 20th,
is within the Venus period, with Moon
on the celestial equator on the 18th, at
total eclipse node on the 10th, and at
perigee and greatest north declination
on the 10Th and Goth. Without the
least desire to be sensational, we will say
that severe and dangerous autumnal
storms and tides are very probable at
this period. Rain, snow and sleet will
visit most interior sections, and big
October cold wave and very high baro-
meter will wind up the period.
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 a regular storm period, blend
ed with the Venns disturbance at its
center, with Moon on the celestial equator
on the 9th and new again on the 3lst.
The Indications are that storms tropical
in kind, with thunder and rain south
ward, will come during the first develop
ments of this period.

against the ito be or not to be" OF city
election. The question is whether the
new law in regard to municipal govern
ments obviates the need OF n city election
iu Rocky Ford's case this spring. The
Enterprise has cited the new law hereto-
fore. Tho question seems to be an open
one. with points in favor OF an appointive
filing of the coming vacancies in the nj
dermanic board. But to make assurance
doubly sure 1t is possible to both hold
an election and then have the same cho-
sen representatives OF the people appoint
cd also by their fellow members of the
board. II this plan is pursued it might
lie well to make sure that no friction will
arise after the election, on the question
OF appointments. The choice of the pop
ulur majority might possibly not suit
some people in the minority, and these
could exert their influence when it came
to the appointments. A city election
costs dollar or two and the corporation
hasn't any money to burn just now.
With three wards in the city there will
of course be three polling booths and
three sets of election officers to pay for.
Perhaps it would be well to save time
money and the general wear and tear on
our good-nature by choosing the,appoint.

Men who advocate abolition Of law or
