THE WEATHER FOR AUGUST.
Rev. Irl R. HickS'S Forecasts for the Month
Are Not Pleasant.

The first six days of August are covered by
The combined disturbances of Vulcan, Mer-
curry and Mars. The regular Vulcan storm
period is central on the 3rd. The eliminating
DAYS of the period will be the 3rd 4th and
9th. On and touching these dates general
storm conditions will develop and pass from
west TO east across the country. Sections
which have been visited by many electrical,
rain and hail storms, during much OF June
and July. will most likely have the same char
aclcr of storms during this period. In the
absence OF the Mars influence, the Mercury
disturbance added TO this regular storm
period. would greatly increase the chances OF
general. diffuSed rams during this period; but
sections which have had little rain for weeks
prior will get more threatening storm clouds
and buster than rain during these disturb
anceS After heavy storm and buster about
the Bird. 4th and 9TH look for rising barometer,
westerly winds, and cooler.
On and touching the Sth aud 9Th the TEN
perature will rise to some of the highest read
ings of the summer, the barometer will fall
and severe storms and buster will visit many
localities in their sweep from west to east.
This heated spell will not break down until
after the new moon ON the lllh. with strong
probabilities that it will last into the regular
storm period extending from the 18th TO the
18th.
The Moon will be new on the llth, in peri.
gee. or nearest the Sun. on the 12ih, and on
the celestial equator on the 18th, the central
day of q regular storm period. lhlS periou
Is also embraced IN the on. coming venus us
turbance. which is central on the oath. Inc
waning influence of the Mars disturbance will
also combine with the causes named during
this period. The disturbances Of this period,
me w.. India storms come up
from the south. may be expected over most
interior parts OF the country FROM Saturday
the 18th to Tuesday the 10th, the elimination
falling most likely on the l4lh and 10th.
Vicious thunder storms and high gales Will
center about Sunday, the l4th. II equatorial
hurricanes OF cyclones should make their
presence felt about our southern coasts at this
time. the storms that visit interior states a lev
DAYS later will be followed by uuSeasonahly
cool weather. Otherwise the heated term will
not be- broken efeCtuaily until after the Storms
of a subsequent period.
ReaCtionary storm conditions will return on
