Forecast of the Weathar Sor Marcb

Forecast of the Weather for March.
The weather forecast of Hicks for the month
of March, as published in Word and Works. is
as follows:
The first regular storm period for March is
from the I'd to the 9TH. AT this time the earth
is fully under the influence of her own vernal
equinox, blended with Venus disturbance.
From about Tuesday the Sd to Friday the 9Th.
there are reasons to expect all the changes and
phenomena of very decided storm peroid.
A marked change to warmer and falling ba-
rOmeter will lead rapidly into cloudiness. with
general rain and thunder storms in the south.
Rains may also be expected in central and
northern sections, but change to much colder
will follow the rains, with heavy snow SQUALLS
generally along the northern side of the coun-
try. Sharp change to cold will bring up the
rear of these storms, bringing the temperature
quite to the frost line far into the south.
THE 9th and 10th are central days of a re-
dictionary perturbation, intensified by moon
perigee on the 10th. In all our publications.
for nearly twenty years, we have explained
that an electrical crisis is annually to be looked
for about the 10th to 18th of March. The
moon being at full and on the celestial equator
on 18th, within two days of its perigee on the
10th, we are naturally to look for electrical
phenomena out of the ordinary during this
annual period this month. If the moons
perigee or nearest approach to earth had fallen
two days later, or co-incident with full moon
and tidal waves would have been almost GER
tainty in the south. As it is marked distur-
Dances of this kind need not be surprise in
that part of the country. Heavy earth-cnr-
rents of magnetism and electricity, auroral
lights, seismic commissions and quickened
volcanic activity, are among the things reason
ably to be expected during and about the
10th to 18th.
The regular storm period, centering on the
10th and extending from the 18th to the GOTH
will bring time of exceedingly unsettled
weather, with probability of many heavy and
some dangerous storms. The indications
point to two decided disturbances during this
central period in March. one at the very be-
ginning of the period, and the other about the
18th and 18th. The storms on and about the
18th will barely subside before the entrance to
reactionary storm conditions due 21st and 22d
In all central, western and northern sections
mingled rain, snow and raw, depicting winds
will render it exceedingly hard and trying on
unsheltered live stock.
The last general storm period in March
is central on the 9th covering the 25th
to Both. The moon is on the celestial equa-
tor on the 9th and at its new on the |
l8th AS we approach these days it will turn |
warm for the season, the bar
ometer will fall to low and dangerous read |
ngs, and anywhere from Friday, the 18th, to
Monday, Both, it will be wise to keep an eye |
On the gathering storm indications. Very
warm. humid weather, with greatly depressed
barometer, will presage violence and danger.
specially in all central to southern parts of the
country. Late snow and sleet storms will be
most natural nOrthward. The month, in every
probability, will reach its close in the midst of
he cold wave at the end of these storms.'
