period rightfully falls about the same
date with the center of Earth's equin-
nox, extending its influence over the
whole month. The Mars period does
not wholly pass off until near the mid
die of September.
The first storm period for September
is central on the 4th extending from
the 2nd to the 18th. This period en-
braces moon in apogee on the 3rd,
full on the 9Th and on the equator on
the 18th. Signs of approaching change
and storms wiz appear about the 3rd,
weather will grow warmer in the
West, the barometer will begin falling
in the same region, and cloudiness
and rain will follow, growing in vol
ume as they pass eastward, and, re-
acting a eliminating crisis from the
9Th to the eth. Autumnal thunder
storms and squalls will be natural in
many sections on the 9th and 9TH
Look for decided change tc cooler in
the West as these storms pass east

| lowing the storms to the extreme east.
The change to fair and cooler VIII be
retarded until after the Moon passes
north of the equator on the 9TH.
Otherwise it would eliminate about
the full moon on the 9Th.
Weather changes will come in rapid
succession at this time, but we believe
| that the dominant state of the wealth
er will be warm above the average.
The 9th, 10th and 18th are reaction
airy storm days, on and about which
marked storm conditions VII arise.
The opposition of the great planet,
Jupiter, falls on the 18th, which is
known by al who have long followed
our theory to be the central day of a
regular, annual maximum of IN met
ic and electrical excitation. All things
considered, atmospheric and seismic
perturbations of wide and violent
character would be quite natural any
where within a week or ten days of
the 18th. This is one of the periods in
which equinoctial hurricanes from
the West Indies need not bea SUI
prise to jewellers along our south
coasts. The period is covered by the
Mars, Earth and Venus disturbances,
and al indications of approach ing
storms should be promptly noticed
and needed. Very high temperate res,
