THE OCTOBER BRAND.
Of Weather According to the Hicks
Schedule.


The storm period in progress at
the close of September will be felt
the first two days of this mouth in
the eastern parts of the country
while the high barometer and
change to fair and colder weather
will have advanced eastward be
yond the central valley of the
Mississippi
On and touching the 4.h and
9th look for return of higher tenn
perature. falling barometer and
more falling weather. All these
October disturbances will wind up
with rising barometer, change of
winds to northwesterly, and much
COOLER weather.
The first regular storm period
proper for October is central on
the llth. and extends from the Sth
to the 18th. The Mocn being in
perigee on the 7th and on the &c.
lestial equator and new on the 9Th,
expect very prompt developments,
in the form of falling Barometer.
change to quite warm, and follow
&c by rain, wind and even thunder
storms as early in the period as the
9Th to 9th. Later in the period
these storms will spread to the east,
and along with the rising baro
meter behind the storms, an early
touch of boreal weather will come
out of the northwest, attended by
high. autumnaI gales over the lake
regions. 1t is possible also that
delayed equinoctiaI storms may
reach the southern coasts at this
period. Within forty,eight hours
of noon on the 9Th, seismic distur.
banoes in many parts of the earth
need not cause surprise
The next storm period will be
central ON the 10th, 18th and 18th
This is a Vulcan reactionary period
and it will bring on disturbed
weather condition that will.rup
most probably. into the regular
storm period following. The Muir
curry equinoctial disturbance ID
central on the 18th, reaching from
the 18th to the close of October
This fact will tend to a prolonged
spell of unsettled, disturbed wealth
er.
During the regular Valcan
period. central on the 22nd, the
already unsettled elements will re.
turn to very decided storm condi,
tions. From about the 2lst to the
Gath general and active autumnal
storms may be expected. A very
depressed barometer will advance
from the west, attended by storn.s
first of rain and probable thunder,
followed by early spurts of snow
and sleet in northern extremes
Heavy northwesterly gales will
visit the great lakes and the north
Atlantic coasts at this time, and 8
general and decIded change to
colder will spread over most parts
of the country with the anti-s storms
area that follows this period The
eliminating crisis of this period
will fall on and touching Monda,
the Oath. On and about this date
will also be another period when
earthquake shivers will be report
ed from different quarters of tn,
globe. Look for frost we'll to the
southwark, with some freezing to
the north at the end of and for
some days following this period
The last period of disturbance in
October. blending with Mercury
equinox, is central on the 9th and
18th. At this time look for re
action to warmer, with falling baro.
meter and return of rain and thick
oloudiness and mist, amounting t.,
sleet in many sections northward.
The month will go out with anti
storm areas spreading eastward
from the west northwest causing
general change to much cooler.
