WEATHER FOR AUGUST.

Following are the weather forecasts
made by r. Hicks for the current month
The first storm period from the 4th
to the Sth, will have its center on the
9th. Storm conditions in the form of
falling barometer, increasing humidity
and warmth, with growing cloudiness
will appear as early as the 4th. Storms
and thunder gusts will quickly follow
in western sections and during the 9TH
to about the eth these disturbances will
pass over the country in their eastward
sweep. Rising barometer will succeed
these storms, bringing change to cooler
from about the 7th to 10th
The second storm period is central
on the 1lth and 18th. But for the
growing influence of the Venus period,
minimum of storm causes would exist
at this time Threatening clouds with
thunder gusts may show themselves
over scattering localities, but generally
the weather will remain warm and dry
Unsettled and possible threatening con
ditions will increase on and touching
the 18th,
The 18th marks the date on which
the third storm period will be central.
1t will extend from the 18th to the Goth.
The influence of Earths autumnal
equinox will begin at this time, the
Genus period will be approaching its
center and the Vulcan period with the
moon on the celestial equator These
will constitute the disturbing factors.
Storms will be forming in western re
gions as early as the 18th or 18th. Dur
ing the 10th to 10Th very general and
forcible storms will pass eastwardly
across the country. Venus thunder and
lightning will mark these storms with
great emphasis. All localities peculiar
ly exposed to coast storms, especially
along the southern coasts, should be on
their guard against possible danger at
this time. Earthquakes will be felt in
various parts of the globe not far from
the l4th. A decidedly high barometer
and change to cooler will follow the
western flank of these storms
The fourth storm period is central
on the 22nd, 23rd and 9th. The Venus
influence will be at its center at this
time, hence very high temperature, low
barometer and vicious electrical storms
will be very natural during the first
stages of this period, but sudden change
to high barometer and much cooler will
press the western side of the storm area.
There is danger that these very sudden
Venus revulsions to cooler late in August
will be followed by frosts in northern
extremes.
THE fifth storm period is central on
the Goth, covering the 9th to the 3lst.
AS early as the 26th and 2Sth, baromet-
ric warnings of gathering storms will
be noted in many parts Of this and other
countries. The crisis of this period will
not be over forty eight hours from 6
o'clock on the Both. a very menacing
barometric condition will lead up to the
3Oth, the temperature will be excessive
ly high over most sections and many
storms of rain, thunder and hail attend.
ed by violent tornado gales, will pass
over wide are Us of the interior parts of
the country. The storms of this period
will continue into the opening days of
September. A pronounced rise of the
barometer will come from the north
west at the breakup of this period push.
ing violent gales down over the great
lakes and bringing such extreme change
to cooler as to give frosty nights in
northern to central parts of the country
Seismic shakes will be felt in divers
parts Of the globe near the 30th
I'VE believe that the first half, il not
more, of the month of August will be
very warm with a general and severe
shortage of rainfall, and we caution our
readers accordingly. As we near the
close of the month, copious and general
rains will attend the great storms rea.
sonably expected. Beware at the last.
