UNUSUALLY SEVERE MONTH.
Tropical storms, BoreaI yisitsttons and
Perturba,tOns Predicted.

Rev. ri Hicks predicts for February
this condition;
The month will open warm and
threatening. Moon is ON celestial
equator on the lst tending greatly to
excite electrical storms in many places.
Disturbances will continue %until'about
the 4th. bringing heavy rains, turning
later TO snow over much of the
try. 1t is safe to say that this first
February peroid like all the following
periods Of the month, will begin with
moderate to warm bright days, but
rain with wind and thunder southwark
will follow and turn quickly to snow,
sleet and very cold weather.
A storm period to watch is from
about Sunday, the Sth, to Thursday,
the 18th. The crisis of these distur-
bauces will come on and next to the
18th. The cold wave that wonld nat
urally appear about the 18th gay DOS.
sibly be retarded until after the moons
! passage over tho celestial equator ON
the / 9th. But those who do not pre-
pare for a great cold wave and blizzard
between the 9Th and 10th Of February,
will we fear pay a costly penalty. We
caution all especially those who have
large live stock interests at stake to be
on their guard any time from the 9th
until the elimination comes. Don't
be deceived bv delays and pleasant
weather.
The storm period extending from
the 10Th to the 3rd Is covered by many
disturbing factors. This period dur
ing its opening stages will bring change
to quite warm for the season the ba-
rometer will fall to unusually low
readings and heavy storms of rain wind
and thunder Will speedily be followed
bv change to sleet and snow all wind
ing mn with stiff wintry gales and a
cold wave from the northwest. Much
danger may be apprehended at this
and other February periods from the
gorging of streams and rivers by sud-
den floods and the iamming of moving
and crushing ice. Look for several
days of crisp freezing weather after
the storms Of this period pass off.
