noted in western extremes.
Growing cloudiness will result in
the same sections, and during the
4th to the 9th, first rain, then
sleet and snow will visit wide
areas of the country as storm
conditions pass from west to east
across the continent, The com
bined influences of Mercury and
Venus will, in all reasonable prob
ability, result in heavy, wide
spread sleet storms, and very low
barometer, followed by violent
change to bllzzards. The crisis

ditions will bring on increasing
cloudlness, moving eastward, and
