Hicks's Forecasts for November.

A regular Vulcan storm period is central or
the LIST. The Moon is also on the celestial
equator on the same date, passing from south
10 north declinalion. BY the first storm con-
ditions will be 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, End and 3rd. Rain
and high temperature will give way to rising
barometer, with possibly gusts of snow, west
erly winds and much colder on the western
edge of the storm centers.
About the 5th, 9th and 7th look for notice,
able rise in temperature, falling barometer
and return of general storm conditions. Rains
turning to snow in the north, will visit most
sections of the country, in their eastward
march about the 9Th to 9Th. A marked
change to high barometer and colder will
follow the storms, spreading to the east and
south about the 7th to 9th inclusive.
The Vulcan storm period, extending from
the 10th to the 10Th, is central on the 18th
and the Mercury period, extending from the
It'll to the 18th, is central on the 18th, 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 1lth, and on the celestial equator, going
southwark on the 18th. About the 18th to
most general and active storm eenters 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 during
the 18th to 18th these conditions will pass over
the country, moving eastward, bringing rain
and snow storms to most parts of the country.
A very decided dash Of early winter will bring
up the rear of these storms, giving several
cold days and frosty nights to most parts be-
fore the entrance of the next storm period.
A reactionary storm period is central from
the 18th to the Goth, having the new Moon,
or Moon in conjunction with Earth and Sun
on the 10Th. This period will bring return
of rising temperature, falling barometer and
wide areas of cloudiness, rain and snow.
The elimination of these disturbances will
fall on and next to the 10Th. At this time
autumnal rains will end in high gales over the
lake and Atlantic coast regions, with dashes
of snow and change to much colder over all
northern to central parts of the country. Frost
will reach quite into the south along with the
high barometer following these disturbances.
A regular storm period is central on the
24th, covering with its influence the 22nd to
the 9th. AS a rule the first two or three
days of the regular storm periods are fair and
growing warmer, with falling barometer and
easterly to southerly winds. Then follow
cloudlness, storm and precipitation. progress
lively from west to east Behind the area of
high temperature and rain. rising barometer,
snow and cold, west winds follow, all ending
in cold, clear weather. This order of phe-
nomena will transpire about the 22nd to Goth,
but the cold, fair weather following the storms
will be of snort duration. Rectionary storm
conditions will prevail as the month goes out,
bringing unsettled, threatening and stormy
weather. Upon the whole, the outlook for
November is not so perturbed and stormy as
October promised TO be-
