Hicks Forecasts for May.

Reactionary storm conditions will prevail
during the last two days of April and the
hrst OF May. By the LIST, disturbances will
have passed TO eastern parts of the country,
with cooler, clearing weather and rising
barometer following from the west.
The storm period central on the 9th, be-.
gins at the new Moon on the 4th.
The storm period, 4th to 9th, will be
ushered In as early as the 4th with rapid
change to warmer in all parts westward.
The barometer will show marked atmos-
pheric depressions In the same regions, and
as these conditions increase and move east
ward over the country,a series Of decided
rain, hail, wind and thunder storms will
begin, repeating themselves In many locali.
ties for several successive days, leading up
to the 9Th or 9th. Along with the rising
barometer and clearing weather, at the ces.
sation Of this storm period, frosts may be
looked for in many central to northern sec.
lions, say from about the 9th To the 18th.
Centering on the 18th, 18th and 14th, re.
dictionary storm conditions will reappear
and make their regular, progressive transI
ton from west to east across the country
These disturbances will eliminate in many
thunder and rain storms on and touching
the 14th, following which, the barometer
will rise, winds will shift to the West and
north, with change to much cooler weather.
The next storm period will center on the
18th, covering the 10th to the Goth. This
period will eliminate on the 18th, 18th and
10Th in falling barometer, much higher TEN.
peIature, and another cycle Of daily rain,
thunder and wind storms.
II this were q season of maximum rain.
fall in the United States, storms of the peri.
cd, 10Th to Goth, would continue in daily
cycles into the reactionary period, central
on the 22nd, 23rd and Oath. As 1t is, light
disturbances may continue through the In.
tervsl and break out into renewed energy
on and touching the 22nd, 23rd and 24th.
II bsrometric conditions remain below nor.
NAL, with high temperature and much hu.
midity-condition which any one may dis.
cern-the chances are many for severe and
violent storms on these dates. Change to
anti storm conditions--cooler weather, bra.
cling air and rising barometer-should ap.
pear from about the oath to 9th.
The closing storm period for May is cen.
trail on the Goth, extending from the 9th to
the S1st. The Moon is on the celestial equa.
tor on the 25th, and 10 spogee on the Goth.
These combined facts point to general and
possibly severe disturbances, progressively
over the country from west to east, during
the last five days of May. The most nota-
BILE storms Of this period will center on and
touching the 2Sth and 18th.
