PLENTY OF STORMS PROMISED
With More Than The Usual Warm Spells OF
Weather. The Month VIII Be Typi-
cal February.

weather forecaSter, makes the
following predictions for Febru-
ary:
The FIRST Storm Period, Reg.
ular, embraces the 1st to the 9th,
having ITS center in the 3D.. The
Moon In conjunction with Earth
and Sun, or at new Moon on the
4th, and the Vulcan influence
united, will be chief causes of
disturbance at this time.
Probable Results:-Falling bar
ometer, rising temperature, shift
ing winds to southwark, and
growing cloudiness will begin in
western parts early in this per-
iod. AS these conditions move
eastward, rain, turning to snow
over northerly sections, may be
expected progressively from the
Bird to the 9Th. But by the time
eastern extremes have the storm
conditions, all regions west of
storm areas will have higher bar
ometer and cold, clearing wealth
er. These anti-storm conditions
will spread eastward to the At
lantic before the oncomlng of the
next storm period.
The Second Storm Period, Re-
dictionary, Is central on the Sth
and 9th. The Moon on the celes-
tlal equator and in apogee Will
quicken and excite the Vulcan in
-hnence at this time.
Probable Results:-On and
touching the 8th look for reaction
to much warmer, with possible
thunder aud ram southwark.
Rain will turn to sqalls of wind
and snow in many sections by
the 9th and 10th, followed in all
western parts by rapid change to
high barometer and cold.
The Third Storm Period, Reg
ular, is from the 18th to the 10th,
the Moon at first quarter and
north declinatlon, added to the
Vulcan equinox, being the dis
turbing causes.
Probable Results:-A marked
atmospheric depression will start
IN the west early in this period,
and along with this low barome-
ter look for the prompt vigorous
storms of rain and snow to spread
eastward during tine 18th to 10th.
A rising barometer and Febru-
ary cold wave will follow, touch
ing most parts before the anti.
storm conditions disappear to the
east.
The 4th Storm Period, Reac-
tionary, is celtral on 10Th, Goth
and 2lst. The causes bearing IN
it are, Earths vernal equinox,
Vulcan reactionary, and Moon at
full, IN perigee and on celestial
equator. The moon will also be
at an eclipse node on the 10Th.
Probable Results:-The proba.
bilities are that the first of SER
les of West India storms will APP
pear in the waters adjacent to the
gulf regions at this period. Let
all concerned note this prediction.
Gales and violent tidal waves will
touch many coasts exposed to
storms, IN many parts of the
globe The barometer will drop
To low readings over most parts
OF the country, and general rain
and snow will visit the country
within sixty hours Of 6 o'clock p.
N. on the 10Th. High gales and
q sweeping blizzard out of, and
over the northwest, should be
counted imminent probabilities,
all followed by high barometer
and far-reaching cold wave.
The Fifth Storm Period, Regu
lar, is central on the Goth and GOV
ers the oath to 2Sth. Earth and
Vulcan equinoxes, with Moon al
last quarter and extreme declina
ton, are the disturbing factors
Probable Results;-By the
close of February, conflicts be
tween boreal and equinoctial fore
es naturally produce weather "ir
ritatlons," constantly inducing
splits and squalls of rain ant
snow. Such tendencies will b,
decidedly increased during th,
last four days OF the month. The
