PROPHET HICKS ADVICE FOR JUNE
Month of Storms and One Should
Avoid Tree as a Place of Shelter.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the st. Louis
weather expert, makes predictions for
June.
First Storm Period is central OH the
Bird, 4th and 9Th.
On and touching the third look for
change to warmer, rain and thunder
storms, beginning in the west, and
passing eastward across the country
on the 3rd, 4th and 5tb Rising ba-
rometer and cooler weather will fol-
low the storms yet tend to prolopg
cloudy and threatening.
The Second Period covers the Sth
- 10Th. From the 10th to the 10Th of
June is an annua' period of electric
perturbation, caused bv the approx
mate turning of the Earth's north
pole to the plane of the Suns equa
tor.
o dinarilY and normally we should
look for heavy thunder storms, saw
on the h, 10th and 18th. We predict
that many electrical storms and heavy
rainfalls will appear at this time, but
that they will cover comparatively
narrow localities, leaving wide arc
of the country to obtain only moder-
ate results.
1t is proper to say that the prevail
ing weather conditions during this
period, will Indicate the character of
storms and weather that may be ex-
pected until after the middle of July.
The Third Period is central on the
18th to 18th. The electrical strain of
Earth's summer solstice will be felt
in frequent and general displays of
lightning, all through this part of
June.
crisis of such phenomena viii! fall
18th. Black, ominous clouds, drench-
ing down pours of rain and violent
thunder and wind will visit many
places at this time. Reaction to cool
er, clearing weather will follow.
The Fourth Period is central on the
21st, the same date being the central
day of Earth's summer sostice per-
iod.
We will put this period down as a
crisis of electrical summer storms. If
the barometer falls to very Iowa
thing to be apprehended at this time
violent, tornado storms are quite
probable in central and western states.
1t shonld be known to all that the
greater part of the vivid and general
lightning, at such times in June, is
absolutely harmless, and indicates no
approaching danger, except in cases
where the barometer is very low, and
a compact, we'll defined storm cloud is
moving up from western and southern
directions. On and about June 24th
will eliminate a series of Characters
tic June thunder storms. Change to
rising barometer and cooler will fol-
low.
The Fifth Storm - Reactionary, is
on the Goth, 9th and 2Sth. The June
solstice and the Mars period nearing
its center, viii be the chief disturber
at this time.
There will be thunder and rain
storms on and touching the goth, 9th
and 28th, but wide districts of com
paratiye, if not severe dryness will
lie in many parts of the country. no.
tably in northern, southern and
western extremes.
Often as we have given this bit of
| admontion, we repeat it again, do not
take shelter under trees in thunder
storm, especially in June. The dan
ger from lightning is much greater,
and MANY hYes are thus destroyed
every year during this month.

HOW DUKES MONEY GOES.
His Pleasures Aa Varied and Now
Getting Ready for Million Dol
lar Residence.

The way in which ti-millionaires
spend their money has a picturesque
interest for the rest of u.s. James b.
Duke, president of the American to-
bacco company, for example, has be-
gun at Somerville, N. j., what he ex-
poets to make the most extensive
piece of landscape work ever at
tempted on private estate in
America. He is said to have already
spent millions of dollars in transform
ing a dozen farms in the Raritan val
ley into a 2.000-acre park. The latest
phase of his work concerns the ex-
cavation of 10 acres Of land for an
artificial lake. This viii rest on the
highest elevation in the valley. He is
also to build a terrace 10 feet high.
covering eight acres, as the site for
million dollar residence to be erected
next year. Mr.. Duke is not always
constant in his money-spending oper-
ations He invested a fortune in trot-
ting stock, but his venture failed.
Then he bought one of the finest herds
of cattle in the country, paying $1O.-
900 for a single animal, but high
living gave the cows tuberculosis. He
laid out a race track for the benefit of
local sportsmen, but disorderly
crowds took the bloom off from that.
Later he built a $4,000 stone stable.
which he stocked with blooded horses.
but these have just been discarded for
automobiles. Mr. Dukes pleasures
appear TO be varied, and highly per-
sonal.

the large increase i'm the number OF
cooperative observers throughout the
State; there were ten in 1887 and sixty
in 1905; by the increase in the issue
of forecasts by mail and telegraph,
through the rural free delivery daily,
and by the continued demand from
outside sources for data regarding the
excellent climate of this State.
The last important work in which
Mr.. Won Hermann was engaged was
the preparation of revised and ex-
tended account of the climate of
North Carolina, which will appear in
the Chronological Dictionary of the
United States to be published by the
United States Weather Bureau in the
near future. a
AS a forecaster, Mr. Won Hermann
was accurate, and frequently achieved
notable success, as on the occasion OF
the eclipse of the sun in May, 1898,
which occurred Monday forenoon and
for which Mr.. Won Hermann pre-
dicted a clear sky the Saturday morn
ing preceding. For the State Fair Mr.
Won Herrmann's forecasts were also
remarkably good. While Mr. Won
Hermann was here the river service
was alsoaintroduced and flood warnings
are issued for all the rivers of Eastern
Carolina, when conditions warrant.
On one occasion he issued warning
for 3 rise of 40 feet in AZ hours on
the river gauge at Fayetteville, and
the river actually rose from II feet
to 5S feet during the time specified.
The members of the Weather
Bureau of Raleigh have always been
noted for their courteous and obliging
with requests for informa-
ton. During Mr.. Won Herrmann's en-
tire administration of sixteen years
the conduct of the office has been most
creditable to the Weather Bureau.

This Great Paper"

Wake county has just been the
scene OF a sensation brought about
by the Gattis-iKlgo case. 1t devel-
oped that more than one had been try
ing to influence jurors in favor of the
defendants. 1t has even been limited
that some of the lawyers of Raleigh
were more or less connected with the
affair. Two men have already been
sentenced to six months each impris-
onment, and other Investigations are
being conducted. All of which is
justly proper. When we see the day
that our lives and property are not
safe in the courts, then give us abb

much outside" influence exerted in
more than one trial i'm the State. The

instrumental in bringing many of the
facts to light and we congratulate

Boat. t.4 f'.-
CBy the Associated Press.

New York, August 5.--The perils
Of a shipwreck threatened the Colon
ial Express, crowded with passengers
bound from Boston to Washington to-
day, while the train was being ferrled
through the East river. The train
was aboard the New York, New Haven
and Hartford transfer boat Maryland.
A collision with barges first threat
ened the Marylan2, when the captain
turned his boat sharply inshore. The
collision was safely avoided, but a
swift tide, with the ihshore momen-
tum already gained, threw the Mary
land, head-on, against the rocks off
Sixty-sixth street. The shock sent one
of the cars over the bumpers, and the
train appeared for a moment to be 60
ing off into the water.
The passengers rushed out along the
narrow decks i'm a panic. Though it
was kuickly ascertained that the
heavy timbered transfer boat was
practically uninjured, except for slight
Encouragement to her steering gear,
two of the passengers insisted on be-
ing taken ashore, which was done.
Tugs pulled the Maryland off in
about ten minutes, and with little de-
lay she completed the trip, landing the
Colonial Express safely in New Jer-.
