The disturbances at this time VIII,

stormy weather up TO and through

westerly winds and clearing, cooler
weather will touch most parts about
the 9TH to the 9TH.
There is always much tendency TO
prolonged disturbances during the i'm
mediate presence of 1.-The earth's au-
tumnal sequinoctial, especially when
full or new moon fall near the ending
of storm periods. These phases OF
the moon in September. the. equlnoctial
month, always find the moon on or
near the celestial equator. Hence we
find full moon on the 18th and moon
on the equator on the 18th.
The 18th to 18th are also reactlonary
storm days We may therefore look
for decided storm conditions to con-
tinue over these dates. This is per
iod of probable tidal waves. and heavy
equinoctial storms in the south.
Barometric and other recognized con-
ditions of approaching hurricanes, III
all the gulf regions. should be care
fully noted at this time. A. marked
change TO high barometer, westerly
gales and much cooler will almost GER
tainly follow general and severe
storms at this time. Frosts in many
localities, especially northward. be-
tween the 10th and 10Th. may reason
ably be expected.
The next regular storm period is
central on the 2lst. Another high
barometer and change TO decidedly
cooler will come in from the north
west close behind these storms. Tho
27th, 2Sth and 18th are reactionary
storm days, not fan from the centre
of the .autumnal equinox, and with
the moon at new and on the celestial
equator on the 28th, and in perigee,
or nearest the earth. on the 29th. II

embraced between Wednesday, 27th
and Saturday, 30tli. many widespread
ing and violent storms will visit va
rious parts Of sea and land all round
the earth.
1t is predicted also that decided
rushing high barometer will come
down out of the northwest as the clos
| ing September storms are pushed east
ward, and that high gales and change
| to very cool weather will be in transii
| from west to east at the close of the
month Indications are favorable fol
low temperatures and frosts over all
central aud northern sections along
with the changes that will follow
| this last September storm period Lei
us hope and deyoutly pray that wealth
er conditions at this, or even previou:
periods in September. may be such as

yellow fever, now raging much of the
country.
