Hicks For March

crease by the 7th. The barometer
will fall to very low readings, and
furious storms of rain, turning to
sleet and later to billiards, will
pass over the country generally
about the Sth to the 11th. Eqm-
noctial tempests will reach north
ward from equatorial regions,
striking many waters and coasts
lying in the paths of such storms,
all around the globe. These storms
up from the south seas will have
their counterpart in sweeping bo-
real storms from the northwest.
BE on the watch for heavy and
general rains to the south, for
| great and wide wide sleet storms
over central regions, and for biz
yards to the north and west, round
ing up with high barometer, high
gales and a general cold wave.
The Third Storm Period is CEN
tral on the 10Th, 10th and 18th,
with Moon at first quarter and
north declination, the Vulcan force
and Earth's equinox nearing its
center, as disturbing causes.
Probable Results Under strain
of the Ncrnal equinox, there is
constant tendency all through this
month to storminess and sporadic
precipitation in cold rain, sleet
and snow. But this tendency rises
to maximum at the regular and
reactionary storm periods, and
such Il maximum will appear on
the 18th, 10th and nth, bringing
fall on the barometer. higher tenn
perature and more decided rain
and snow storms. Several days of
high barometer, and an approach
to fair, cold weather will succeed
this period, but weather that calls
for care of life and well-being of
man and beast.
The fourth storm period covers
the 18th to the oath inclusive, be-
ing co-incidently central with the
Earth's equinox on the Dist. The
Moon at full, on the celestial equa-
tor and in perigee, adds its indu-
ence to those of Vulcan and Earth
at this period.
Probable Results:-The indica-
tions are that some of the most
general and severe disturbances of
the month will appear during this
period. Early in the period the
barometer will indicate possible
danger in many parts on land and
sea, and as early as the Goth well
defined storm areas will take up
their march from west to east
across the country. General rains,
with moderate temperature, cleo
trical displays and tropical storms,
will prevail up t. about the 2lst.
South sea hurricanes and inland
tornadoes to the south are quite
probable, with downporTs of ram
amounting to local floods. About
the 2lst rains will turn to snow
and sleet over all sections central
to northern, and n phenomenally
high barometer out of the north
west will precipitate violent north
westerly gales and blizzards from
the 2lst to the oath, all winding
up progressively by great March
cold wave. This is one of the times
when special care should be taken
to shelter, feed and protect live
stock, otherwise there will be great
suffering and loss. Maximum
earthquake conditions will exist at
this period, also within forty-eight
to sixty hours of Sunday, March
26th.
The Fifth Storm Period is cen
trail on the 9th, 2sth and 29th.
The Vulcan reactionary and the
Moon at last quarter and south
declination being added to Earth's
equinox as disturbing causes.
Probable resuts;-The prevail
ing cold which followed the pre-
ceding period will relax at this
time, the barometer will fall mod
erately, and more storms of. rain
and snow will appear, passing
eastwardly over the country. Ris-
ing barometer and shift of winds
to cold, northwesterly will follow
these disturbances.
