1.-The 18th and 18th are reactionary storm dates
and secondary series of disturbances will devel-
op and pass eastwardly across the country on
and touching these days. Either the storms OF
this period. or an early on-cofning of the ensu-
ing Vulcan period, will be projected into the
lzth the day of full moon and the moons eclipse.
ular Vulcan storm period, extending from the
18th to 10th, will begin as early as the l4th and
continue up to about the l9tn. Ram, thunder
and wind will visit many parts of the country
during this same period, notably on and touch,
ing the 18TH. Change to very much cooler will
come In from the northwest on the heels of these
disturbances, extending progressively over most
parts of the country about the 18th to 21st. The
disturbances of this period and those at all the
remaining August periods are rendered in high
degfee problematical by the opposition of the
ipianet Saturn on the sd together with the ap-
preaching autumnal equinox of the earth. and
other astronomical causes bearing on the last

1.-THE last week in August brings storm peri
cd which is frAught with violent to dangerous
probabilities, or all southern waters and coasts
exposed to the IMAGES of West India hurricanes
and cyclones. We do not say that such storms
must absolutely appear at this time, or If they
do that they will prove destructive out of the
ordinary. But we do not hesitate to say that
such things are reasonably probable, and that all
especially interested or exposed should keep the
probabilities in mind, and watch all indications,
such as great barometric depressions and other
well known precursors of equinoctal storms out
of the far south. The crisis of this period will
fall within forty eighthours of six O'Clock A. M,
on, the 30th. Tidal waves, seismic and earth
quake phenomena are almost certainty in
many parts of the globe not far from Wednes-
day the 30th.
LET it be borne in mind that the total eclipse
of the sun falls on Wednesday, 30th and with
combination of other astronomic causes will be
calculated to excite expectation and watchful-
ness. Along with the anti storm conditions that
are sure to follow the general storms, and other
phenomena due the last week in August, very
cool weather. with frosts to the nOrthward, may
almost certainly be expected. The crisis of the
very cool wave will fall in the opening days of
