The storm period beginning On
the 4th and extending to the 10th
promises to bring many prolonged
and severe perturbations. The dis.
turhances ut this time will almost

very slight intermission, into and

iod central on the 11Ch and 18th.
The Moon being ct new and IN peri
gree on the 9th, aad on the celestial Il
equator on the 10th, the chances for
prolonged and violent disturbances
into the 18th and 18th are unusually
great.
We predict that Wednesday the
7th, to Saturday the 10th, will bring

equinoctial hurricanes reach tho
southern coasts and states at this
time, northerly currents will induce
marked boreal conditions over the
western and central sections, bring
ing hosts to northwestern states not
far from the 18th to 18th.
The next regular storm period ex-
tends from the 10th to the 21st.
This period is covered, as was also sS
the previous period, by the Mercury 5
equinox, and by the Earth g autum-
nal equinox, near it's central date
and influence. In the nature OF II
things, we are now at the season
when the vast electrical and mag
netic forces are generated in abnor-
NAL intensitles out Of which the Il
great equatorial cyclones are devel-
oped. If these forces are delayed u
they increase in cumulative energy
and show themselves at later per-
iods. Hence all careful, observing d
