Tue storm period which wss CEN

and 2nd, of April. Storms. OF rain,
wind, low barometer and high tenn

snow, rising barometer and much

en- wholly by SURPRISE. Careful and
impartial observers must have dis
covered that the Easter full moon is
almost invariably attended and fol-
lowed by severe and disagreeable
squalls and boreal weather. The
present case we believe will prove
no exception tqtthe, rule. Plants
and tender Vegetation should be
protected against the probability OF
killing frost during the first three
or four days in April.
About the 4tll to the 9Th falls a re-
dictionary storm period, during
which tlnle falling barometer,
change to warmer, with moro rain
and storminess will be probable.
Hail storms will.be most natural at
all the April disturbances, and sud
den drops of temperature should not
surprise any one after all we'll de-
fined storm movements. The storm
period, central on the tenth, will
fall about Sunday the 10th to We'd
nesday the 18th. Look for high
temperature, low barometer, with
rain, hail and thunder, progressive
" from west to east, on the nth,
! 18th and 18th. Rapid rise Of bar
ometer and change to quite cool
will follow behind the storms, but
q reaction TO storm conditions will
suddenly return, and from the 18th
to the 17h it will again become very
warm, progressively, the barometer
will again fall to low readings and
decided storms Of rain, hail and
thunder will occur along paths OF
low barometric pressure. The sud
den revulsions from hot to cold will
be felt at this time and at each dis
turbance during the rest OF the
month. Tornado disturbances
should be apprehended, if very low
barometer, high temperature and
abnormal humidity prevail at this
time.
A regular perturbation will be
central on the 21st extending from
the 18th to 23rd. The barometer
will drop low and the temperature
rise very high as this period pro-
crosses, resulting in many vicions
thunder and hail storms on and
touching the 21st, 22nd and 23rd.
The normal tendency to Arpil thun-
der showers will grow into decided
and far-reaching rain storms, with
dangerous winds aud possible lorna
does during the progress Of these
disturbances. The inevitable change
to much cooler, with frosts general
over central and northern sections,
will follow up the western TANKS OF
these storms. Late SHOW squalls
need surprise no one, as the high
barometer follows low areas at
these April periods.
One OF the most decided, and per-
haps violent storm periods of the
month, extends from about the 26th
to goth. This period is nearer the
center of the disturbance, is in
perturbation, with Moon on the CO.
lestial equator, and full. We warn
our readers to watch the barometric
conditions and storm developments
at this time. Very general and Sc
we're storms are more than probable.
This is time when destructive hail
storms are almost certainty in
very many sections. Abnormal
downpours Of rain will also visit
central to southern regions. The
month will go out with high bar
ometer, cold winds and frosty nights
northward.
We have only room to say that
