Eioks' Forecast, for pesOamhar

A reactionary storm period, the first of IN,
month, is central on the 3rd, 4th and eth
The Moon at this period will pass first omar
ter on the Bird, and cross the celestial coma
tor on the 9th. The Mercury period, which
was central November Goth reaches owe,
into December and blends with the Venn,
influence during this first storm period.
BY the Bird, falling barometer and change
TO warmer will be noted in western ex
tremes. Growing cloudiness will result in
the same sections, and during the 4tb to the
9th, hrst rain, then sleet and snow will visi,
wide areas of the country as storm condi.
lions pass from west to east across the CON.
unent. The combined influences of Mer.
curry and Venus will, in all reasonable prob.
ability, result in heavy, widespread slest
storms, and very low barometer, followed
by violent change to billiards. The crises
oil this period will be Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, the Srd, 4th and 9th, followed by
severe cold wave which will be felt in
most parts of the country, lasting until about
the Sth.
A regular storm period is central on the
10th, extending from the 9Th to the 18th.
Every careful student of our forecasts and
formulation Facts" will remember that our
little globe passes a magnetic and meteoro-
logical crisis annually, from about Deem
Der 9Th to 18th. This is not only on accou Mt
of the winter solstice perturbation, which
extends from the 10th to the 25th of Deem
Der, but the angle OF thei Earth's north polar
axis to the equator Of the Sun is such as to
provoke maximum of electrical and mag.
netic anlagonlsm at this time. Hence there
is abnormal tendency not only TO general
winter storms, on land and sea, but seismic
shivers, strong "esrth currents" and volcanic
disturbances, as rule, are more numerous
and violent.
BY about Saturday, the 9th, . decided
change to warmer, with rapidly falling ba.
roneter, will be noted in western extremes
These conditions will bring on increasing
cloudiness, moving eastward, and from about
the 10th TO the 18th inclusive, severe and
general winter storms will make their tran.
sit over the country. These storms will
reach their eliminating crisis within forty.
eight hours OF sunset on the 18th. Look for
rains at the on-coming of these storms, espe.
cislly to the southwark, but be prepared for
change to northwesterly billiards as the
storms move eastward. and tor a genuine
December cold wave to follow with the rs
ing barometer behind the storms.
A resctionary storm period is central on
the 10th, 10th and 18th. Throughout this
part of the month there is constant tenden.
cy to unsettled and stormy weather. But
decided storm conditions with general rain
and snow, will be most natural, on and
touching Saturday and Sunday, the 18th
and 18th.
A regular storm period covers the Goth to
the 26th. The central day OF the Decem-
Der Solstice falls within this period, on the
Dist, and the regular Vulcan storm period
is central on the 2Snd. About the 18th to
the 18th there will probably be period of
prolonged winter storms. The crisis of this
period may be looked for on and touching
Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the 93rd,
Gath and Goth.
A reactionary storm period is central on
The 9th, 2Sth and Goth. The general cold
leading into these days will partially break
up, the high barometer will relax into lower
pressure, and renewed squalls Of rain, snow
and wind will visit many sections of the
country in their progressive sweep IRON west
TO east, on and touching the 9th, 29th and
29th. High barometer and much colder w ~
close December in most parts of our country.
