I About the 10Th and llih of June every year
our globe passes shat may be called north
{ pole contact with the solar equator. Is a re
suit OF this peculiar relation Of Earth and SuH.
/ the Earth becomes greatly charged with mag
petism and electricity. Thunder storms, gen

disturbances and seismic phenomena are com

iation Such disturbances will reach a maxi
mum about the 10th aud lllh aud continue IN
/ marked force and frequency until near the end

/ A rsactiouary storm period will be central
/ on the l2,h aud 18Th, with the moon at new

dates will run over into this period. The tenn

spiring within the compass of this storm per
iod the chances for general, heavy and even
dangerous storms are multiplied greatly at tins
time. The crisis of this period will fall from
about Saturday the 18th, to Tuesday the 2lst

The 23rd, oath aud 18th are central dates o

there will be increased tendencies to decided
storms-higher temperature, falling barome
