Also There Will Be a Number of Bad
Climatic Disturbances.
Black Clouds, Thunder, lightning Will!
Do Their SpeciaIties.
Something Is Promised for August.
The Weather Forecast.
From Tuesdays Daily.

Prognosticator Hicks promises a hot
time during August. Not only will old
Sol do several speciality acts, but the
king of disturbances will be on the
boards and do stunts which promise to
tcrroize the good people. In other words
he will "throw the scare" right WELL The
whole month of August will feel more or
less the influence of the equinox of the
planet Mars. Regular storm disturb
ances will be due from the LIST to the 4th
of August. The probabilities are that
the natural warmth to be expected at
this season will grow into crisis of
to be followed progressively from the
west by low barometer, threatening
clouds and severe clustering. Local rains
some of them quite heavy-may attend
these storms, but the general supply and
diffusion of rains over the country prom
Use to be short and poorly distributed.
Rising barometer and change to more
pleasant conditions for a few days will
be natural behind the perturbations at
this time, extending eastward over the
county by the 4th and 5th.
A reactionary storm period exists on
the 9th, 18th, and Sth, during which days
look for increase of warmth, falling ba-
rometer and marked tendency to black
clouds, thunder and stOrminess. These
disturbances will eliminate on and touch
ing the 9Th, some central to northern
parts of the country being visited by Sc
we're summer squalls. Change to rising
barometer, westerly winds and cooler will
press in from the west and north, as low
barometer and storms move eastwardly
out of the way bringing partial respite
from summer heat for two or three days.
One of the cheated terms" of the
month will appear from about the 18th
to the 10th. At the beginning of this
period the warm wave will start in
western sections, attended by low and
falling barometer; easterly to southerly
winds will increase the heat over all
sections east of the actual storm centers.
As the low barometer moves eastward,
threatening clouds, with severe local
storms will visit many sections, with
favorable conditions for some generous
midsummer rains.
While the heat, wave and storms are
still passing central and eastern parts OF
the country, change to cooler will be
advancing from the west and north, so
that by the 18th and 10th most parts OF
the country will have felt the change to
cooler weather. There will be percept-
able reaction to rising temperature, fall
ing barometer and return to clOudiness
and storms on and touching the 18th and
18th followed by another return to cooler
more pleasant weather about the 18th to
2lst.
General storm conditions will develop
over the country, and inland storms OF
more or less intensity may reasonably
be expected about the oath to 9th. Ii
equatorial storms appear in the south at
this time, reaching regions as far north
as our extreme southern states, phenom-
enally cool weather will follow the
storms over all central to northwestern
state. Such result need not be a sur
prise to our readers.
The 10Th and Both will bring reaction
to storm conditions, and more or less
storminess and rain will result in many
localities. Rising barometer and change
to cooler weather generally will marx
the closing hours of the month.
The disturbances prevalent during the
month of August, whatever may be then
peculiar characteristics, as already hinteo
in the foregoing, will continue on the
same lines, doubtless with augmented In
tensity, up to and beyond the crisis Of
the autumnal equinox after the middle
of September.
