Hicks on September Weather.

A secondary STORM period, beginning
the last two days iii August, will last
into the first and second days of Septem-
Der. High barometer, westerly gales
and change to much cooler will follow
these disturbances.
The storm period beginning on the
4th and extending TO the 10th promises
to bring many prolonged and severe per.
turbations The disturbances at this
time will almost certainly be aggraval
ed in character with possibly very slight
in.ermission, into and through the re-
dictionary storm period central on the
18th and 18th. The moon being at new
and in perigee ON the 9th and on the
celestial equator on the 10th, the chances
for prolonged and violent disturbances
into the 18th and 18th are unusually
great.
During the early stages of thess gen.
eral disturbances, and excessively heat
ed tern. is sure to make its appearance
over most parts of the country We be-
lieye that the equatorial cyclones and
hurricanes will delay their approach to
our southern coasts long enough to
cause a severe heated term during the
first half of the month. Frosts will oc-
chr over the western and central por-
tions of the country not far from the
18th to 18th.
The next regular storm period extends
from the 18th to 2lst. In the nature OF
things we are now at the season when
the vast electrical and magnetic forces
are generated in abnormal intensitles,
ont of which the great equatorial cy-
clones are developed.
A regular vulcan storm period Is cen
trail on the 25th, extending from the 2'tn
to two or three day. into october. AS
we enter this period the barometer Will
fall, the temperature Will again rise 70
ouite warm and scattering storms will
be advancing eastward over the country
about the 2Sth and 29th.
