May predicts
1t is seen by the storm dia.
gram for this month that We
nus period is central on thh 4th.
First Storm Perlod-This Pc
riod is central on the 3D., covering
the 1st to the 9th. 1t Is appar-
ent from storm diagram that the
com biued forces of Vulcan. Mer.
curry and Venus are immediate
disturbing causes at this time.
On the 3D., both Vulcan and Mer-
curry are central, with Moon at
extreme south decllnation. AS
stated, Venus is central on the
4th. At the opening Of the month
there will be a manifest change
IN the direction of storm condl.
tions. Winds will shift to easter
ly and southerly, growing titful
and restless as the period ad.
vapces, and from about the 3D. to
the 5th many storms will break
forth with violence in various sec
tions of the country.
Terrific rains will fall IN many
sections, accompanied with hail
and heavy thunder, especially
along the southern to central
states. A very decided DO, cal
feature of these disturbances
will come out of the northwest as
the storms work eastward, bring
ing high barometer and high
gales, with great probability of
late snow in the north and west.
Second Storm Period-Reac
tionary. The Sth, 9th and 10th
are the central days Of this peri
cd. The Vulcan reactionary, COW
cred partly by Mercury and
wholly by Venus, with Moon in
apogee on the 6th, and on the ce-
lestial equator on the 10th, are the
astronomic causes of the disturb.
ance at this time. A return Of
storm conditions will appear
about the Sth, in rising thermom-
eter, falling barometer, easterly
to southerly winds and growing
cloudiness. These changes will,
of course, appear first IN the
west, and during the Sth, 9th and
10th they will move eastward
over the country, resulting in
more storms of more or less vic.
lence. But decided disturbances
may be reasonably expected
about the 9th to 10th, with elcc.
trical storms and high winds on
and touching the 10th. Another
sudden and marked change to
cooler will follow after these
storms.
If a cool wave and frosts should
not follow the first storm period,
look for much cooler with heavy
frost northward about the 10Th
10 10Th.
Third Storm Period-Regu-
lar;-This period extends from
the 10Th to 18th, being central on
the l4th. The disturbing forces
bearing on this period are, the
Vulcan equinox, the Venus equi.
nox, and the Moon at it's new, or
in conjunction with Sun and
Earth. AT this time and until the
end of the month the solar ener-
gy will be localized along a tier
of states running east and west
across the central part of the
country.
AS we enter this period look
for change to warm and balmy
weather. The winds will shift to
southerly, the barometer will
steadily fall, and the skies soften
into the serenity that foreruns
active storms. BY the 18th wide
areas of cloud and storm, with
very warm and ominous atmos.
phere, will be we'll In motion from
west to east. Heavy rains, thun-
der and hail will follow in m my
parts of the county as the
storm centers advance during
the l4th to 18th. Change to much
colder, with probable frost in the
north, will certainly come when
the storms are over.
Fourth Storm Period-Reac.
tionary:-This period extends
from about the goth to the 23d.
