A ROUGH SEPTEMBER.
Considerable Warm Weather, Some Cool
and Frosts May be Looked For.
Disturbances VIII Reach Into
September.
A SUCCESSION OF STORMS.

In August promise to reach into
the first day of Septe mi ber says
Rev. Irl Hicks, the st. LOUIS
weather prophet.
On and touching Friday, the
1st. no reader need be surprised
to see or hear of crises in the
elements-rain, wind and thun-
der, with equinoctial tempests in
the south coast regions very
probable. The disturbances at
this time will, in all probability,
be prolonged IN cloudy, threaten
ing and possibly stormy weather
up to and through the 3rd, 4th
and 5th. Change to rising bar
ometer, westerly winds and clear
ing, cooler weather will touch
most parts about the 5th to 9TH.
The regular Vulcan storm per-
iod central on the 9th, will be felt
as early as the 9TH or 8th, in fall
ing barometer, change to warm
er and growing cloudiness In
western sections. AS these con-
ditions increase and advance east.
ward over the country. storms of
wind, rain and thunder will visit
most localities about Saturday
the 9th to Monday the 18th.
We find full moon on the 18th
and moon on the equator on the
14th. The 18th and 18th are also
reactlonary storm days. We
may, therefore, look eor decided
storm conditions TO continue ov-
er these dates. One of the most
probable earthq uake periods in
September will be central on the
18th extending twenty four to
thirty-six hours before and after
that day. A marked change to
high barometer, westerly gales
and much cooler will almost cer-
tainly follow general and severe
storms at this time. Frosts IN
many localities, especially north
ward, between the 18th and 10Th,
may reasonably be expected.
The next regular STORM period
is central on the 2lst, this bsing
also the central day of Earth's
autumnal equinox. This period
will express itself in falling bar
ometer, rising temperature,
threatening storm clouds, with
rain, wind and thunder, the cris-
Is falling on the 21st to 23rd, pro-
gresslvely from west to east.
The 9th, 26th and Goth are re-
dictionary storm days, not far
from the center 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 Goth.
We predict that within the period
embraced between Wednesday
9th and Saturday the Both, many
wide-sweeping and violent storms
will visit various parts OF sea and
land all round the earth. Seismic
distur Dances and volcanic activity
will be natural concomitants of all
these phenomena.
There may be those who for
personal ends will forclbly con.
strue all this into false and SEN
sational meaning. The Idea that
storms of unusual sweep and SO.
verify do not as a rule occur at
this season--call them equlnoc.
tlal storms or what you please
IS a weather bureau subterfuge,
laughed at and reprobated by
people of all classes and condl.
tions, especially those whose
homes, possessions and lives are
directly exposed to the West In
dies cyclones and hurricanes.
We predict that a decided,
rushing high barometer will
come down out of the northwest t
as the closing September storms
are pushed eastward, and that
high gales aud change to very
cool weather will be in transit
from west to east at the close OF
the month. Indications are fav-
orable for low temperatures and
frosts over all central and north
ern sections. al1n0 With tho
