Hicks Weather Forecasts for July
We publish below from Word and Works the
Hicks weather forecasts for next month:
"a regular storm period is central on July 9th.

heat. in every probability, will set in to the
west the first days of the month. This con-
dition will increase in area and intensity as it
moves eastward, reaching crisis from the 4th
to the 18th. The astronomic conditions, on and
touching Wednesday, 4th, to Sunday. 9Th, indi-
cate disturbances of more than ordinary VIC
heavy tornado storms over central to north
westerly regions, will be perfectly natural. If
severe and general thunder storms do not re-
lieve the electric and magnetic strain, about the
4th to the 7th the high temperature will increase
to phenomenal readings and be followed by
seismic and kindred perturbations over our own
and other quarters of the planet. Normally,
heavy rain, hail and thunder storms should occur
from the 4th to the 18th and be followed by al
most unreasonable change to cooler. This is a
time when local cloud bursts and water sp0uts
are to be apprehended,, ever though undated
