Meetin. ofTcachcrS' Association.

The Prince Georges County Teachers
Association met in the Georgetown Law

was extended to Mr.. Ebert Dent, former

appointed to read and examine these
queries and distribute them, to be answered

in Nature Study he would like to have
done in the schools under his supervision.

Nina Roberts. Vocal Music was the sub
ject of an ably written and practical paper

county schools was very concluslvely
shown by Misses Carrie Shipley, Ella

method in vogue in her school. The
Association then adjourned subject to the
call of President Tippett.

No Change of Cars.

Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, controlling the Columbia line Of
Street cars. for the use of tracks from the
District line to Fifteenth and II streets
northeast The terminus of the Chesa-
peake road is at Chesapeake Junction, and
passengers for the beach have hitherto
changed cars at that point, leaving the
electric cars of the Columbia line and tax
ing the steam cars.
An electric storage battery car is to be
used as the motive power, the steam en-
CINE to be dropped at the junction. There
will be no necessity for changing cars,
and pasSen gers for the beach can board u
train at Fifteenth and II streets and not
leave until they are on the broad shores
of the Chesapeake Bay.

Hicks for May.

About the 3rd of May, the date on
which the Moon passes over the celestial
equator coming northward, lock for de-
cided rise of temperature, beginning, OF
course in western parts, resulting IN
threatening storms cf thunder, wind and
rain progressively from west 10 east about
the 3rj, 4th and 9TH. 1t is quite probable
that an unsettled, if not stormy condi
ton of the eatLtr, will continue from
these reactionary storm days into and
through the Vulcan storm Period ox:en-
ding from the It'll to the 18th.
As a rule tornai,es are more frequent
and severe in this month than any other,
being largely owing t. this special rela-
tion to the solar power of those sections
of our country in which the tornado is
most prevalent. But for this fact, the
storm diagram for the present May in
dictates about the fewest causes for violent
storms, leading US to believe and predict
that minimum of very destructive
storms and tornadoes will be the result,
that is such storms will be about as few
and as free from destructive violence rs
as can be expected in the month of May.
If warm, humid weather sets in about
the It'll, a fact to be expected.
\ r,.artionary storm period is central
ON l4th and 18th followed on the 18Th by
the passage of Moon over the celestial
equat or, on her way to south declinatlon.
Such thing is not improbable for the
daily cycle period referred to above to
last into this reactionary period, aud if
such should prove to be the case, look
for a general ard violent elimination on
and touching the 10th. Very cool nights
and frost over nothern sections, will most
likely follow these reactionary perturba-
tions, with very cool weather over most
parts of the country lasting from about
the 10Th, up to about the 10Th.
The Vulcan storm period central on
the 2lst, and Governing the 10Th to the
2;rd, is another period in which very
active storms may be counted on. We
will name "Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, the 2lst, 22nd and 23rd, as the
days upon which the storms of this period
will develop and run their course from
west to east As we enter this period
and the days and nights begin to grow
sultry and warm, see if your barometer
does not soon begin to fall, and your
hygromcter to indicate a growing amount
of humidity in the atmosphere. About
the goth these conditions will break into
active storms Of rain, wind and thunder
in the western sections, and during the
three days Mex following, these storms
will increase in extent and severity as
they gather force and move eastward
across the country.
On and touching the 2t,h and 2,ih look
for change to much warmer, falling baro-
meter and some decided storms of wind
and rain. The storm diagram shows that
this reactionary period is embraced in the
Mercury Period, and cloudy, unsettled
and perhaps rainy weather will be pro-
lonyed into the Vulcan storm period
which begins on the 3Ogh and runs into
June. The Mercury period is central on
tor on the same date. May will 90 out
in the ai4lst of gathering storms, and
storm i.-..cations that will eliminate the
first three to four days of June
