JUNE WEATHER

The 3rd, 4th, and 9Th are reaction
arysstorm dates, with conjunction
Of Moon with Sun and Earth on the
srd, By the srd storm conditions
will be ..well organized in western
sections, the barometer will fall to
storm readings, the temperature will
be high and rising. with cloudiness
increasing to precipitation. From
the-.3rl to 5th, inclusive, these con-
ditions will pass progressively over
the country from west to east, caus-
ing rains and thunder storm gener-
ally in their passage. i
The storm period extending from
the7th to the 18th, promises to
bring some of the most general and
severe disturbances of the month.
We predict that the weather and
storm condition during the last half
of J.ne will safely indicate what
may generally expect duite through
the month of July. From about the
10th to the 18th of June is an an
:nual peroid of maximum electrical
and magnetic excitement, Earth
currents, seismic and volcanic distur
banIes, great thunder storms and
doWnpours of rain, as rule reach
crisis about this time. Such re-
suits should not surprise any of our
readers from about the 9Th to the
18th Of the present month. Great
warmth, attended ty high humidity
and very low barometer, will be
warning of probable danger that
none can afford to despise or ne
gled. The blending of the Mars in
fluence with the June solatice period
indicates that thun der showers may
transpire during the afternoons and
evenings, up to and through the re-
dictionary storm period covering the
l4th to the 18th. =.

unrest will continue in the great re-
dictionary storm period, central on
26th, 9th and 2Sth. 1t will be very
natural but not as a rule dangerous.
for electrial clouds to flash and blaze
through the night at this part of the
June solstice. -
1t is proper that we repeat what
we have often said, that there is the
greatest danger in taking shelter
under green trees during these June
thunder storms. We repeat, also,
tho warning OF danger to live stock
from lightning in crowded barns
and sheds, and from exposure to
wire. fences. Every season we
hear of much stock beng killed by
lightning, in consequence OF focks
and herds budding under trees and
against wire fences in thunder
storms. These suggestions may seem
unimportant to some, but correct
statitics Of loss and death by lightn-
ing, especially in the month Of June
would put u different meaning into
the proposition.
II heavy rains and storms occur
from the 10th to the 18th, the same
may be expected to continue at the
reactionary period, 26th to 2sth,
and at the storm period thru much
of July: II dry weather and high
temperatures lead into the opening !
Of the period in any wide section,
July will bring a hurtful degree OF
and drouth to that section.
At the same time another extreme
may begin and continue thru the
same period. We have said, and
We still believe that a marked
shortage of rainfall will be felt over
much of the great central, western,
northwestern and southwestern
,rain belt, before the crops of the
present season are matured.
