WEATHER FOR NOVEMBER.
Hicks the St.Louis Weather Prophet
Make following predic lions

organized in the west, and the cloud
areas and low barometer will advance
eastwardly across the country, causing
higher temperature, rain and possibly
thunder storms in many sections on the
LIST, Ind and 3rd. Rain and high tenn
perature will give way to rising barom-
eter, with possibly gusts Of snow, west
erly winds and much colder on the
western edge of the storm centers.
Some sharp days OF cold and frost to the
northward will follow this and other
November storm periods, calling for a
degree of planning and care for the
highest convenience and comfort of man
and beast. This will be especially the
case at the conclusion of the storm
periods shown within the Mercury brace
in the storm diagram.
About the 18th, 9th and 18th look for
noticeable rise in temperature, falling
barometer and return OF general storm
conditions. Rains turning to snow i'll
the north, will visit most sections of the
country, in their eastward march about
the 5th to Sth. a marked change to
high barometer and colder will follow
the storms, spreading to the east and
sout h about the 18th to 9th inclusive.
The Vulcan storm period, extending
from the 10th to the 10th, is central on
the 18th and the Mercury period, eN-
| + TO tIr,
trail on the 13th hence the combined
perturbations of these two forces will
be felt during the Vulcan period. Moon
is in perigee on the 10th, at last quarter
on the 18th, and on the celestial equa-
tor, going southwark on the 18th. About
the 18th to 10th may reasonably be en-
pected one of the most general and
active storm centers OF the month. As
early as the 10th the barometer will be
falling in the west. Change to warmer
will attend the falling barometer, and
, tions will pass over the country, moving
eastward, bringing rain and snow
storms to most parts of the country
Those who are familiar with our fore
casts and storm charts will not be sur
prised to see heavy sleet in many places
ESPECIALLY northward, during the pas
sage of these storms. Mercury, they
will remember is the sleet god and that
he rarely misses an opportunity to turn
his "thick cloudliness, mist and drizzle'
into heavy and Outlines destructive
sleet. very decided dash of early
winter will bring up the rear of these
storms, giving several cold days ant
frosty nights to most parts before The
entrance of the next storm periods.
A reactionary storm period is centra
from the; 18th to the Goth, having The
new Moon, or Moon in conjunction will
Earth and Sun on the 10Th. This period
will bring return of rising temperature
falling barometer and wide areas O
cloudiness, rain and snow. The culmin
alton of these disturbances will fall OF
and next to the 10Th. At this tim,
autumnal rains will end in high gaIe
over the lake and Atlantic coast regions
with dashes of cold and change to mucl
colder over all northern to central part
, Of the country. Frost will reach quit,
: into the south along with the higl
:. barometer following these disturbances
