AUGUST FORECASTS.
First Half Of Month Will be Hot and
Dry. Cooler Toward Close of
the Month.
LOCAL SHOWERS MAY BE EXPECTED.


Louis, who, undoubtedly does
possess ability in forecastlng the
weather conditions says, in refer.
ence to the month of August, that
the first half, if not more, of the
month will be very warm with a
general and severe shortage of
rainfall and as we near the close of
the month, copious and general
rams will attend the great storms
reasonably expected. Then, In
entering into detail he predicts
i've storm periods as follow
The first period will extend
from the 4th to the Sth, having It's
centre on the 9th. Storm condl-
tions ofwhlch, in the form OF falling
barometer, increasing humidity
and warmth, with growing cloud
mess, will appear as early as the
4th. Storms and thunder gusts
will quickly follow IN western
sections, and during the 9TH to
about the 9TH these disturbances
will pass over the country In their
eastward sweep. Rising baron
eter will succeed these storms,
bringing change to cooler from
the 9TH to the 10th.
The second period is central on
the 11th and 18th. The indica-
tions are for only moderate ba =
rometric and other changes at
this time. Threatening clouds
with thunder gusts may show
themselves over scattering locali-
ties, but generally the weather
Will remain warm and dry. IN
settled and possibly threatening
conditions will increase on and
touching the 14th. On this date
falls the full moon at an eclipse
node which fact is almost sure to
attract the disturbances of the
periods Immediately before and
after the date. Either the reac-
tionary disturbances due on the
18th and 18th will be delayed up
to the 18th, or the dlsturbanc
of the regular period following
will begin as early as the 18th.
The third period is central on
the 18th, reaching normally from
the 18th to the Goth. 1t is quite
probable that this period wlllopen
with barometer very low and
storms will be forming in west
ern regions as early as the 14th
and 18th. During the 10th tc
10th very general and forclble
storms willpass eastwardly across
| the country. Thunder and light
ming Will mark these storms with
great emphasis. Earthquakes
will be felt in various parts O.
the globe not far from the 14th
A decidedly high barometer ano
change to cooler Will follow the
western flank of these storms.
The fourth period is central on
the 22d, 23d and Oath. Very higl
temperature, low barometer ant
vicious electrical storms will b,
very natural during the frs
stages of the period, but sudde,
change to high barometer anC
much cooler will press the west
ern side of the storm area. Their,
is danger that these very sudder
changes to cooler late IN Angus
will be followed by frosts in nortl
ern extremities.
The fifth period is central or
the Goth, covering the 9th to th'
: 3lst. AS early as the 9th 'ant
% tn warnings of gathering
storms will be noted in man,
parts of this and other countries
Equinoctial storms and hurri
canes will almost certainly de
velop at this time and reach tn
Gulf and Atlantic Coast region
the last days of August. Tn
cri.is of this period will not b
: owe. forty eight hours from al
O'Clock p. m. on the both. Th
temperature will be excessivel
= high over most sections and man
r storms OF rain and thunder an
hail attended by violent tornado
9 gales, will pass over wide area
