First Storm Period, Reaction
ary, is central on the 4th and 5th.
The indications are that the storm
period reaching into January from
December 1904, will cause unset
tied weather up to this reaction
airy period. The causes at this
period will be at a minimum, the
secondary Vulcan influence and
the Moon in conjunction with Sun
being the main factors.
BY the 4th changes to warmer
will be the order in western parts
a corresponding fall of the barom-
eter will attend the rising temper
atures, and rain and snow will
visit wide extremes, reaching
north and south, as the general
storm conditions advance east
wal dly to the Atlantic about the
4th to 9th. A prompt change to
rising barometer, northwesterly
winds and much colder will set
in behind the storm area to the
west and north and push the
west side Of storms to the Allan
tic.
The Second Storm Period, Reg
ular, includes the 9Th o13th, be-
ing central on the 18th. The reg
ular Vulcan period, with Moon on
the equator. in apogee and at first
quarter, are the causes at this
time.
Decided change to warmer,
winds shifting to southerly and
falling barometer, will appear to
the westward about the 10th. Du-
ing the 18th, 18th and 18th rains
will visit southern and central
states, turning to snow in the
north and as storms reach Sec
tions ca It OF the Mississippi river.
On the 18th, winter lightning and
thunder are likely toward the
south. Blizzardous conditions
and very cold will appear with
the rising barometer out of the
northwest progressively behind
these storms, If barometer is
low in the south at this time, Sc.
we're cold will be induced possibly
to the guilt. Watch barometer
and indications.
Third Storm period, Reaction
ary, is central on the 10Th, 18th
and 18th, and is almost sure to
bring IN a spell of. threatening
stormy weather that will run in
to the storm period following
Hence, we shall consider it in con-
nection with, and as part of
The Fourth Storm Period, Reg
ulars is central on the 22nd, ex-
tending from the goth to the 25th.
The causes disturbing this period
are the regular Vulcan influence,
the Mercury equinox central on
the same day with the Vulcan Pc
riod, with full Moon on the 2lst,
in perigee on the 23rd, and on
the equator on the 25th.
In all reason able probability
this period will bring the worst
storms and weather of the month.
1t will come in with rising tenn
perature, falling barometer, quick
ly causing general cloudiness and
rains. The barometer will fall
phenomenally low, generally, the
rains will turn to d sstructlve sleet

nation of the period will bring
dangerous billiards. out of the
northwest, attended by rising
barometerand extreme cold wave,
Let nothing divert your attention
from the possibilities of this Pc
rod, and the very great cold to
follow. This is one of the times
when the extreme cold will pene-
trate far iuto the south and east.
The Fifth Storm Period, Reac-
tionary, is central on the 26th and
29th. The Mercury perturba-
tion continues into this period,
there being only one other cause
of disturbance-the Vulcan reac-
tIonary.
Cloudy, stormy, Nblizzardous
conditions will lead up to this Pc
