central on the 4th and 5th. The indi-
cations are that the storm period
reaching into January from Decen Der
1904, will cause unsettled weather
up to this Ieactionary period. The
causes at this period will be at a
minimum, the secondary Vulcan in
fuence aud the Moon in conjunction
with Sun being the main factors.
BY the 4th changes to warmer will

spending tall Of the barometer will
attend the rising temperatures, and
rain and snow will visit wide ex-
tremes reaching north and south; as
the general storm conditions advance
sastwardly to the Atlantic about the
4, h to 8 h. A prompt change to rising
barometer, northwesterly winds and
much colder will set in behind the
storm areas TO the west and north and
push the west side OF storms 10 the
Atlantic
The second storm period, regular,
includes the 9th to 18TH, being cen
trail on the 18TH. The regular Vulcan
period, with Moon on the equator, IN
apogee and at first quarer, are the
co,eag ~ tI,ic time
Decided change to warner, winds
shifting to soatherly and falling ba-
rometer, will appear to the eastward
about the 10. During the nth, 18th
and I3th rains will visit Southern
and Central states, turning 10 snow
in the north and as storms reach Sec
tions east OF the Mississippi River.
On the nth, winter lightning and
thunder are likely toward the south
Blizzardous conditions and very cold
will appear with the rising barometer
out of the northwest progressively be
hind these storms II barometer is
low in the south at this time, severe
cold will be induced possibly to the
gulf. Watch barometer and indica-
lions.
Third storm period, reacrionary. is
central on the I5,h h, 10th and 18th, and
is almost sure to bring IN spell OF
threatening, stormy weather that will
run into the storm period following.
The fourth storm period, regular,
is central on the 22nd, extending
from the Goth to the 25th. The causes
disturbing this period are the regular

the equator on the 25th,

period will bring the worst storms
and weather of the month. 1t will

eral cloudinesS and rains. The barom-
eter will tall phi .nomenally low, gen
orally the rains will turn to destruc-
tive sleet over vast regions, and the
elimination of the period vii, bring
dangerous Billiards out of the north
west, attended by rising baTo eter

divert your attention from the posi-
bilities of this period, aud the very
great cold to follow This is one the
times when severe cold will penetrate
lar iuto the South and East
The fifth storm period, reactionary,
is central on the 18th and 29th. The
Mercury perturbation continues into
this period, there being only one 9th
err cause Of disturbance-the Vulcan
reactiouary.
Cloudy, stormy, bliZzardous condi-
