Hicks Forecasts for the Month of June.
Hicks, the weather man, makes the follow
ing forecasts for the present month, as publish
ed in the June number of Word and Works:
I'VE enter the solstice month, June, very near
the centre of Venus equinoctial disturbance
this period having begun in May and extending
up to and hey ond the middle of June. All storm
phenomena throughout the most of the month
will show the presence of the Venus perturba-
ton;
the 4th, covering the I'd to the 9th, There are
good reasons to expect the crisis of this period
on and touching the Sd. On that date tho planet
Mercury is between earth and sun, the moon is
near dEst quarter and On the celestial ea1atars
the centre of the Venus period falls on the 10Th
High degrees of humidity, high temperature,
and very low barometer, on and next to Wednes-
day, the Sd, will prove certain harbingers of
severe storms. If these conditions develop about
the Sd, and actual storms are delayed, even up
to the 9th or 9th, do not be thrown off your
guard until the indications culminate. Vicious
thunder storms, accompanied with hail and pos
sibly tornado centres, are among the things
to be expected at this period. Venus
downpours of rain, amounting to cloudburst in
many localities, are also more than probable.
You can depend upon it the storms of this period
will not be entirely over until the barometer
makes a decided rise, and the winds change and
blow strong and much cooler from the west and
north. Some very cool nights are sure to result
when the storms are over.
ION and touching the 9th and 10th, look for re-
action to storm conditions-change to much
rain, thunder and heavy squalls of wind. The
regular summer solstice disturbances will set in
at this time, making June thunder showers prob
able almost any afternoon and evening. From
about the sth to 18th each year the earth passes
a point In its orbit at which abnormal electrical
changes are infused into our globe and atmos-
phere. Seismic and volcanic disturbances reach
a maximum in the globe generally, and a general
electrical condition is absorbed that expresses
itself in an excess of summer lightning especial.
fO no month. greater
this solstice lightning, flashing and playing
through the heavens, often throughout the
June nights, is wholly harmless, and should ex-
cite no nervous fear even in the most timid per-
son. OF course the lightning bolts that fly from
compact and rushing thunder storms are differ
emit, and every precautlon against danger should
stances should one ever take refuge under a
green tree in one of these vicious June thunder
storms.
"The regular storm period covering the 14th to
the 10th will reach its eliminating stages about
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 18th, 18th and
10th. The storm diagram shows tnat the sum
electrical storms will be most natural, with some
energetic and dangerous wind storms. Watch
the clouds, your barometer and other Indlca-
tions-have a safe refuge available in case OF
manifest danger, and all will be well. Put away
foolish forebodings and go about your business.
Make careful plans to avoid the June showers
especially in your making at this time. On
and touching the 21st and 22d look for the return
of storm conditions, with renewed thunder and
rain squalls, and much harmless lightning al
night. Most sections will have sufficient rains
at this and other June periods. Central regions
may have too much, while extreme north and
south sections may suffer some shortage. About
the 18th it will turn exceedingly warm. the
barometer will fall and persistent cloudiness
and frequent storms of wide extent and much
energy will mark the closing days of the month";
A Case Not in the Books.-It is said that
no case could be found in the law books SINH
lar to that of Messrs Holland & O'Neal, pro
prietors Of Willow Mills, near Cockeysville
against the United Railways and Electric Com
pany, in which Judge Harlan on Wednesday
rendered a verdict of $205 for the plaintiffs.
The suit was for the value of a horse which
had a leg broken as the result of peculiar
accident.
The horse was one of team which on Sep
TENDER 10Th, 1902, was left standing by the
driver of Holland & O'Neal ON Center street
near North. The testimony showed that two
cars had passed the wagon with their foot
boards raised. The conductor of the third cal
that came along got off and undertook to turn
the horses on the sidewalk to allow the car tc
pass. In doing so hoof of one of the horses
was caught in the curbstone. He was thrown
to the ground and one of his legs was broken
The horse was killed because of the injury.
The railway company claimed that It was
not liable for the accident as the conductor
was not acting in the line of his duty in at
tempting to turn the horses out of the way oi
the car. Judge Harlan ruled that the con
ductor was acting in the line of his duty anc
that if horse is left unattended on the stree
a conductor may turn it out of the way if ht
