MARCH w EATHER.s

&aIlD0 MOON Oh OF 0OsSI tn0 04u0VOA
in March means that it il at or near
its new or full. And when this CO.
ours with the Moon nearest the
Earth, the chances of violent storms
and tidal waves are greatly multi
Piled. During the present month
we have two full Moons, each of
them near the equator, and one new
moon on the celestial equator. .
The first storm period for March
will be central on the LIST, 2nd and
Bird. II the Moon were on tho celes-
tial equator forry-eight hours earl
Ter, we would put the first day OF
the month down as danger day.
As it is,violent seismic and equinoc-
tial perturbations need not surprise
any reader OF these forecasts any
where from the: LIST to the 4th.
These storms will be of tropical
character in all southern directions,
with probable danger on the south
coasts, while rains will turn to snow
and blizzards over most parts OF the
country northward. A sharp cold
wave for the season, with high bar
ometer, will follow the storms at
this time. We admonish our read
ers against possible danger to life
and livestock during this and other
March periods. \
The next storm period is central
on the 9th, extending from the 5th
to the 9Th. The barometer will be-
gin falling and the temperature ris-
ing in western parts by the SIN, and
during the 6th to Sth inclusive, more
active disturbances, with rain, wind
and snow will take up their march
eastward across the country. DO
not be unprepared for severe dash
es of late winter out of the north
west along with the rising barom~
eter and westerly tangents behind
the first stages of these storms.
A perceptible softening of the ele-
ments will return on and touching
the 18th, 18th and 18th, and marked
storm conditions, followed by more
in turning to snow northward, will
he most natural on and about these
days. The Mercury period which is
central on the goth may precipate
sleet storms at this period, and
threatening, cloudy weather will
most likely be prolonged into the
storm period next followingJ For
more than twenty-five years we
have annually called attention to
the fact that our globe passes cris-
is of magnetic, electric, seismic and
equinoctiel pert,.rbations, within !
forty-eight hours Of March the 1 th.
The new ana full III cons being re-
moved from this period this year,
this annual period may be modified
this month and it's disturbances
largely DETECTED into the periods
next before and after it.
We will name the 10th to the 21st
as one of the most general, active
and dangerous periods OF disturb
ance in March. Thunder storms,
eouinoctial gales and tidal waves,
seismic phenomena. all followed by
March blizzards northward and a
sweeping high barometer and cold
wave, are the things to be looked
for this time. General and destruc-
tive sleet will be most natural north
ward during this period.
The 23rd and Oath are central days
of a reactionary storm period. On
and touching these dates look for
return Of marked storm conditions
attended by heavy rain southwark
tuning to sleet. snow and very dis
agreeable, stormy weather in central
and north sections. The storm per-
iod covering the last five days OF
March and reaching into April, will
eliminate on the 29th, 30th and 31st
in violent storms and dangerous It'd
al waves. Moon on equator and full
al at the first of the month, will IN
tensify seismic shakes, tropical
storms and blizZards. Lot ou1 reao-
ers be on the watch.
