Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1904-06-03
Hicks for June.

bance is central on the lst and End
days Of June, calling for higher tom
perature, falling barometer, increas-
ed humidity aud progressive storms
Of wind, rain and thunder from the
first to about the 3rd. Rising ba.
rometer, 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 Bird to the 9Th.
Western extremes will begin to
feel the growing influence Of the
Vulcan storm period as early as the
4th and 9Th. This period is central
on the 9th, extending from the 4th
to tho 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 barometer
and storms Of rain, wind and thund-
or will march eastward!y across the
country from about the 9th to the
9th. On and touching Tuesday the
7th these disturbances will be at
their crisis in the regions central in
the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys.
Under pressure of the perlhelion of
the great planet, Jupiter, combined
with the annual summer solstice
perturbations, much electrical phe.
nomena will attend all the storm
periods in June, This Vulcan period
will not be an exception. The
tendency to much lightning 10 the
evenings and throughout the nights
will be very marked, even outside Of
the limits of the regular storm
periods.
About the 10th and 18th of June
every year our globe passes what
may be called a north pole contact
with the solar equator, As a result
of this peculiar relation of Earth
and Sun, the Earth becomes greatly
charged with magnetism and cleo
trioity. Thunder storms, general and
excessive sheet lightning, volcanic
disturbances and seismic phenomena
are common results Of this maximum
electrical excitation. Such disturb
ances will reach a maximum about
the 10th aud 18th and continue in
marked force and frequency until
near the end OF the month.
A r~eactionary storm period will be
central ON the 18th and 18th. The
disturbances Immediately preceding
these dates will run I'VE into this
period. The temperature will raise
greatly, and the barometer will fall
to storm readings on and touching
the 18th, with many electrical storms
in transit from west to east.
The next storm period is central
on the 18th, and the Mercury period
is central on the 10Th, so that the
two periods combine their intl uences
from the 10th to the 2lst. This
period Is also neal the center Of the
summer solstice, embracing the
moons perigee on the 10th, and also
moon at first quarter and on the
celestial equator on the 10th. All
these use conspiring within the
compass of this storm period, the
chances for general, heavy and even
dangerous storms are multiplied
greatly at this time. The crisis Of
this period will fall from about
Saturday the 18th, to Tuesday the
2lst. the storms centering more de-
cidedly on aud touching the 10th.
The 23rd, Oath and 25th are central
dates Of a reactioaasy storm period.
Ca these days there will be increased
tendencies to decided storms-high-
or temperature, falling barometer,
growing humidity, all followed by
storms Of wind, rain and thunder.
Change to westerly winds, rising ba-
rometer and fair, cooler weather will
come ia from the west and north as
the storm areas pass of to the east
ward.
