minishing force, until after the
central storm period in April.
The first regular storm period
extends from the I'd to the 9TH,
having it's center on the 4th. This
period is also EN- braced in the
Mercury period, which covers the
1st to the II, central on the 9TH.
By the 3rd, marked fall of the ba-
rometer will be noted in western
sections, change to warmer will
be advancing eastward out of the
same region. BY about the 4th
these conditions will grow into
cloudiness and rain. During the
4th, 9th and 9th, wide areas of
cloudiness and rain will pass east
wardly across the country, break
ing into severe squalls, thunder
gusts and hail in various local.
ties. Wherever the bar )meter
falls much below normal, with
great Increase eoftemperatureand of
close, humid atmosphere, severe
storms of thunder, wind and hail
should be anticipated. In all rea-
sonable probability the Mercury
disturbance will cause prolonged
c,oudlness at this time, with un-
settled and threatening weather
up TO the ensuing storm period.
On the northern and western
sides OF storm centers during
this Mercury period, our readers
need not be surprised at decided
snow squalls, and stiff, boreal
winds and weather.
A reactionary storm period is
central on the 9th, 10th and l1th.
This period Is at the elimination
of the Mercury period, with the
moon on the celestial equator on
the Sth, full on the 9th and in per-
igee on the 10th. These com bin
ed facts, all blending with the
Mercury and the Vernal equinox
es, will conspire to bring on very
high temperature, low barometer
and forceful sjorms, beginning on
and next to the 9th in western
sections, and passing eastwardly
across the country from about
n onday the 9th to Thursday 12tn.
Late sleet and snow will most
probably attend the northern and
western tangents OF these storms
coming with the high barometer
out uf the northwest after the pas
sage of high temperature and
Vernal thunder and RAIN storms.
Change to decidedly cooler wealth
er will follow for several days,
causing frost in many sections
during the nights ranging be
tween the 18th to 18th. Hal
