Weather For August.

VOd0uC4 i VI aug uoU'
The whole month of August will
feel more or less the influence Of the
equinox of the planet Mars. The
storm diagram shows the lars dis
tending from the last of July, we'll into
September. We have frequently re-
ferred to the fact that the Mars inhu-
ence always tends to fix and perpet-
-ate any weather conditions that may
exist at the time of entering his equi
noctial periods. If at the entrance of
Mars period it is dry and warm, it
is safe to say that the same kind OF
weather will largely predominant until
lis period is past. Ii we come well
into Mars period with tendency to
wet and stormy weather, look for a
predominance of such weather for sew
eral weeks. And so. through al the
seasons of the year, it is a proven fact
that the kind of phenomena prevailing
at the beginning of Mars period, is
almost sure to be prolonged during the
life of that period. The regular storm
periods will not be obliterated, but the
disturbance at these regular times will
be modified Or aggravated in the di-
rection of existing conditions when
the Mars period was entered. Hence,
If the present case is not an exception
to the rule, we may expect, in the
main, the kind of weather existing the
last week in July, throughout August
and into September. Study the Mars
brace in the storm diagrams for these
three months.
Whatever degree of intensity may
be given to them, regular storm dis
turbances will be due from the 1st to
the 4th of August. The probabilities
pected at this season will grow into a
crisis of summer heat about the 1st,

heavy-may attend these Storms, but
the general supply and diffusion of
rains oyer the country promise to be
short and poorly distributed. Rising
barometer and change to moro pleas
ant conditions for few days will be
natural behind the perturbations at
this time, extending eastward over the
country by the 4th and 5th.
A reactionary storm period exists On
the 9th, 7th and Sth. during which
days look for increase of warmth, fall
