The regular Vulcan storm period is
central on the 10th covering the 14th
to 18Th. The new moon falls on the
celestial equator on the goth, being
co-incidenr 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
unsettled stormy weather
will begin during the period 14th to
18th, and run into the reactionary per-
iod central on the goth to 23rd. If many
active storms do not occur in the time
covered by these two periods, there
VIII almost certainly be a prolonged
spell of unseasonably warm weather,
followed by severe seismic shakes in
many parts of this AID other cOun-
tries. One of two extremes always re-
suits under such astronomical condi-
tons as exist at this time-general and
violent storms or the almost total ab-
sence of storms with prolonged per-
iod of phenomenally hot, brassy
weather, ending IN many earthquake
and seismic disturbances. We are 10
clined to believe that the latter will re-
suit at this time, but it is one of those
peculiar problems that no one can
possibly solve before hand in the pres
ent state of knowledge. But that one
OF the two extremes above mentioned
will result in a fact that may be
counted on. If storms are to be the
rule they viii be out of the ordinary,
on both land and sea, and timely indi-
cations viii show that such is going

Quakes. vicious storms and change to
quite cold may be looked for.
The last storm period for the
month is central on the 27th, extend
ing from the 25th TO the 3Oth. This
period has the combined force of "Vul-
can" Mercury, Venus and Earth. with
Moon at first quarter, south declina-
ton and apogee. We predict that this
period win bring a series of severe
storms, and that the crisis of these
disturbances will fall on and touch
ing the goth to 29th. This is also a
period in which dangerous gulf storms
may reasonably be expected. At the
wind up Of this period a sweeping high
barometer out of the northwest viii
bring a severe dash of autumnal
weather with high, boreal winds,
clearing skies and frost in many places
in northern and central states. This
final elimination may net reach most
sections before the opening days of
October. but such change is almost a
certainty before the end OF the Mer-
curry disturbance which is central on
September S0th.

HICKS PREDICTS

The weather forecasts of the Rev.
Ira Hicks for the month Of septem-
Der follows:
The storm diagram shows a num-
Der of disturbing causes present in
September. The center of the Venus
period rightfully falls about the same
date with the center of Earth's equi-
noN. extending rs 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 70 the 9Th. This period en-
braces Moon in apogee on the 3rd, full
on the 9th and on the equator on the
7th. Signs Of approaching change and
storms viii appear about the 3rd,
weather VIII grow warmer in the west,
the barometer win begin falling I'm the
same region and cioudiness and rain
will follow, growing in volume as they

ating crisis from the 5th to the 7th
Autumnal thunder storms and squalls

court MartlaI For a German snob.

Halle, Prussian Saxony Aug. 25.-
Sergeant Wilhelm Nebelung. OF the
first company of the Seth Infantry Reg
iment. has been arraigned before
court martial for maltreatment of the
soldiers under him. He was charged
with beating the men with a broom
handle and other brutalities also are
charged against him. When in a bad
temper he would tear the buttons
from the mems coats and compel them
to sew them on again. He forced the
soldiers to go through rife drill on
their bended knees until they we're ex-
hausted, and on other occasions he
made men take rifles in their mouths
and crawl around on all fours. The
court took the case under advisement,
and called for additional testimony.

A number Of prominent young men from

One of the crabs caught was a partlcu-

the young men TO take IL home because
of its big size. Germany was instructed
TO watch IL. and shortly after taking up
his duties he scared his companions al
most into Mysteries, by letting out a howl

Mr.. Editor, I noticed in the COL
umns OF your paper where about two
hundred and eight persons are draw
ing pensions. In my opinion there
is something wrong somewhere. There
are men that who have made their
property over to their children in
order to get the pension and set up
and do nothing and put their pen
sion money out on interest.
Is this right! No! There are
women who are getting pension
that were glad the day they received
the news that their husband was
dead upon the battle field. There
are persons that were injured by the
war besides the soldiers, where are
their pensions? I am not against
the soldiers. I love them, but I say
it is the duty of every citizen to
defend his State and home without
asking for pension for it, especially
those who can do without it. The
soldier who asks for no pension is
the one who deserves the most honor
and whose songs were for ''Dixie
Land, I take my stand to live or die
in Dixie Land" Rush.
