SEPTEMBER WEATHER
Rev. IrI Hicks, the St. Louis
Weather Prophet Gives Fore
cast for September.

is central on the .4th extending from the
End to the It'll. This period embraces
Moon in apogee on the 3rd, full on the
9th and on the equator on the 18th.
Signs of approaching change and storms
will appear about the 3rd, weather will
grow warmer in the west, the barome-
ter will begin falling in the same region,
and cloudiness and rain will follow,
growing in volume as they pass east
ward, and reaching Il eliminating crisis
from the 9TH to the 18th. Autumnal
thunder storms and squalls will be natur-
al in many sections on the 9th and 18th.
Look for decided change to cooler in the
west as these storms pass eastward, the
cool clearing weather following the
storms to the extreme east. The change
to fair and cooler will be retarded until
after the Moon passes north OF the
equator Oh 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 dominate state of the weather
will be warm above the average. The
9th, 10th and 18th are reactionary storm
days, on and about which marked storm
conditions will arise. The opposition
of the great planet, Jupiter, falls on the
18th, which is known by all who have
long followed our theory to be the CEN
trail day of a regular,annual maximum of
magnetic and electrical cNcitation. All
things considered, atmospheric and
seismic perturbations of wide and yio-
lent character would be quite natural
anywhere within a week or ten DAYS of
the 11th. This is one of the periods in
which equinoctial hurricanes from the
West hides need not be a surprise to
jewellers along our south coast. The
period is covered by the Mars, Earth
and Venus disturbances, and all indica
lions of approaching storms should be
promptly noticed and needed. Very
high temperatures, if followed by cleo
trical storms at this time will suddenly
fall to very cool possibly to the frost
line northward.
A regular Vulcan storm period is
central on the 10Th covering the 14th to
10Th. The new Moon falls on the celes-
tial equator on the goth, being co-inci-
dent with the central day of Earth's
autumnal equinox, and with Moon at
an eclipse node. This is also at the
center of the Venus equinox. The
strong probabilities are that threaten
| ing, unsettled, stormy weather will be-
gin during the period 14th to 10Th, and
run into the reactionary period central
on the Goth to 23rd. If many active
storms do not occur in the time covered
by these two periods, there will almost
certainly be a prolonged spell of ,un-
seasonably warm weather, followed by
severe seismic shakes in many parts of
this and other countries. One Of two
extremes always results under such
astromical conditions as exist at this
] time general and violent storms, or the
almost total absence of storms, with ;
prolonged period of phenomenally ho
; brassy weather, ending in many earth
, quake and seismic disturbances. WI
| are inclined to believe that the latte
n will result at this time, but it is one o
: those peculiar problems that no one cal
y positively solve before hand, in the pres
d ent state of knowledge. But that on
n Of the two extremes above mentiOne
v will result is fact that may be count
= ed on. If storms are to be the rule the
will be out of the ordinary, on both lam
: and sea, and timely indications viii
show that such is going to be the result
If dry, hot, brassy weather should hol
for many days, it's peculiar intensity vii
be remarked by all, and at the breakup
earthquakes. vicious storms and chang
to quite cold may be looked for.
The last storm period of the month i
central on the 9th. extending from TIL
18th to the 29th. This period has til
combined force Of "Nulcan," Mercur,
Venus and Earth, with Moon at frs
quarter south deciination and apoge,
We predict that this period will bring
series of severe storms, and that tn
crisis of these disturbances will fall o
4 and touching the 2Gth to Doth. This
also period in which dangerous gu
storms may reasonably be expected. A
the wind up Of this period sweepin
high barometer out of the northwe.
4 will bring a severe dash Of autumn
y weather, with high boreal winds, clea
i ing skies and frost in many places
! northern and central states This fin
elimination may not reach most section
before the opening days Of October, b.
such change is almost Il certainty befo
the end of the Mercury disturban,
which is central on September Both.
