JUNE WEATHER. =.
Rev. Hicks in his weather predic-
tons for the month of June as pub
lished in the last issue of Word and
Works says that an reactionary per-
iod of disturbance is central on the
LIST and snd days Of June, calling
for higher temperature, falling bar
ometer, increased humidity and
progressive storms Of wind, rain and
thunder from the 1st to about the
3rd. Rising barometer, change to
westerly winds, clearing and cooler
will supplant and follow the-storm
area, the change behind the storms
passing eastward across the country
from about the 3rd to the 5th.
Western extremes will begin to
feel the growing influence Of the
Vulcan storm period as early as the
9TH and 5th. This period is central
on the 9Th, extending from the 4th
to the 9th. This period will begin
with change to much warmer in
western sections, the barometer will
fall first in the same section, and
rising temperature, falling barome-
or and storms of rain, wind and
thunder will march eastwardly
across the country from about the
9Th to the 9th. On and touching
Tuesday the 9TH these disturbances
will be at their crises in the regions
central in the Mississippi and Ohio
valleys.
About the 10th and 18th of June
every year our globe passes what
may be called north pole contact
with the solar equator. AS result
of his peculiar relation of earth and
sun, the earth becomes greatly
charged with magnetism and elec-
tricity. Thunder storms, general
and excessive sheet lightning, VOL
canic disturbances and seismic
phenomena are common results of
this maximum electrical excitation.
Such distu1 Dances will reach maxi
mum about the 10th and 18th and
continue in marked force and fire.

"A reactionary storm period will

north declination on the 18th. The.

these dates will run over into this
period. The temperature will rise
greatly, and the barometer will fall

storms in transit from west to east.
This reactionary period will be

The next storm period .is central
