is within the Mercury brace, with
the autumnal equinox of earth ex
erting degree of influence. -
These factors added to the reac
tionary Vulcan force, constitute
the disturbing causes at this time.
Falling barometer, rising temper
ature, growing cloudlness and
turn of autumnal rains, will re-
suit at this period. The western
tangent, or the last part and
windup of this and other October
periods will bring spurts of snow
=, and early touches OF winter over
northerns, followed by northerly
winds and clear frosty nights in
central to southern states.
The third storm period is cen.
tral on the 14th, covering the 18th
to the 10Th. 1t lies at the end of
earth's autumnal equinox, at the
center OF the center of the Mer-
curry period, with the moon at the
full and IN apogee. The Mercury
period, which is central on the
18th, not only extends over this
storm period, but it touches the
reactionary periods Immediately
preceding and following these
three periods affected by the
Mercury period, we may reason,
ably look for the rams to turn IN.
to snow and sleet and squalls of
early winter. The crisis of the
Mercury period, in all probability
will fall In this regular Vulcan
period. On and touching the 18th
the change to warmer will be
marked IN western parts the ba-
rometer will be marked in west
ern parts the barometer will fall
to low readings, and decided
storms of rain, turning at the last
into sleet and snow, will pass
eastwardly over the country du-
ring Friday the 18th to Monday
the 10th. High gales over the
great lakes and along the north
Atlantic will attend the rising ba.
rometer pushing these storms
from the northwest. Heavy frosts
with freezing In the north, shad-
ing into lighter frosts and freez-
ing far southwark, will succeed
the storms of this period. Seis-
mic shakes will be natural in
many parts of the globe, on or
about the 18th.
The fourth storm is central on
the 18th, Goth and 2lst. The Vul.
can reactlonary influence, moon
at north declination and last quar-.
ter, AMI the declining force of the
Mercury period, are the diturb-
ances. The probability Is that
disturbances will be moderate at
this time. The temperature will
rise and the barometer will fall,
with cloudlness and light autumn.
al rain and snow. Change to fair
and cooler will pass progressive
ly from west to east, behind the
hight disturbances of this period.
The hfth storm period reaches
from the Gath to the Goth. It is
central on the 25th, BUTTS culmi-
nation will not be fully reached
until about the 2sth. The regu-
lar Vulcan force, with moon on
the celestial equator, IN perigee
aud at It's new, are the only storm
causes bearing on this pc. iod. -
