HICKS ON SEPTEMBER.
He Predicts the Usual Number Of Big
Storms.
VULCAN, MERCURY, AND VENUS
In the General Conspiracy to DeIuge and
Blast Us Next Month. Some Good
Weather However.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the ST. Louis
weather prophet, makes these
predictions for September.
First storm period, regular, ex-
tends from the 4th to the 10th
an is central on the 9th. Quite
a com binatlon of disturbing
causes bear on this period, name
ly; Vulcan, Mercury, Venus and
Earth, with the Moon at it's new,
at a total eclipse node and In per-
igee on the 9th, and on the celes-
tial equator on the 10th. 1t is
plainly evident to every careful
student of our storm diagram
that this is a period in which very
general and, perhaps violent dis.
turbances are reasonably to be
expected. 1t is also quite appar
cnt that this period promises to
run into a continued spell of
threatening and stormy weather.
In addition to all the causes nam
ed above, from about September
5th to the 18th is an annual peri
cd in which the earth passes a
maximum of magnetic and elec-
trical disturbances. AS early as
the 9th look for growing warmth,
falling barometer and other de-
cided indications of approaching
storms. About the 7th to the
10th wlde-reaching and severe
storms of rain, thunder and wind
will sweep over most parts of the
country. This is a time when
dangerous equinoctial gales and
hurricanes are more than proba-
BILE IN all the gulf and South At
lantlc coast regions. Very warm
weather will precede and attend
these storms, and tornado de-
velopments will be most natural
over many inland sections.
The second storm period, which
Is central on the 18th and 18th is
so directly connected with the
declining first period that we may
as we'll consider them as one. We
believe that disturbances will
bridge over the interval between
them, and that the general per.
turbations will not cease until aft
er the IL. On and touching the
9th and 10th seismic disturbances
will be reported from many parts
of TIM earth, and dangerous equi-
nOctial tempests will be encount-
cred on many seas.
Third storm period, regular
This period runs from the 10th
to the 21st, being central on the
18th. The result at this period
will depend upon the character
of the disturbances at previous
September periods. During the
last half of August and the first
half of September, violent solar
energy will accumulate around
the earth's equatorial regions
Earth comes to the center of her
autumnal equinox on the 22d, but
the storms, and other phenomena
resulting therefrom, are just as
liable to break forth weeks before
and after, as at the center of the
equlnoctial period.
Fourth storm period, reaction
ary, is central on the 23rd, 24tt
and 25th. The disturbing ele
ments at this time are, earth a.
the center of her autumnal eqni
nox, the Vulcan reactionary ant
moon in apogee, on the celestia
equator and full. In every pro
liability, some of the most gen
eral and violent disturbances o
the month VIII transpire within
forty eight hours of noon on th'
Oath. The last stages of thes'
disturbances from the northwes
will bring the touches of earl,
snow, with high barometer, COLI
winds and frosty nights.
Fifth storm period, regular =
This last September period i
central on the Goth, reaching
from the 9th into October
Earth's Equinox and the Vulcal
influence are the disturbing
causes OF this period. Under tn
