Hicks Forecasts For November.

A reactionary storm period is central on
the End, Ord and 4ih. The indications are
that the disturbances coming over from the
last October period will be prolonged into
this reactionary period. At amy rate, the
interval between the two periods will be un
settled and threatening, making a."spell OF

tober and the opening days OF November

by IA rising barometer, northwes'ly winds and
cold, frosty nights.
A regular storm period is central on the
9th, extending from the 7ih to the 18th. The
moon is in quadrature TO the earth and sun,
or at last quarter, on the 9th, the central day
of the period. By the 9th the growing storm
conditions will have increased, so that general
cloudiness and rain will be in progress in west
ern sections, and during the 10th. 11th and
18th, rain. turning to seet and snow on the
western TANKS of storm areas. to the east
across the country. The moon is on the
celestial equator on the 18th, the central day
of the Mercury equinox, hence sudden rise
in temperature, with possible lightning and
thunder in the south, with autumnal rain and
sleet will be most likely on that date.
A reactionary storm period is central on the
10Th, 18th and 18th. The new moon in
perigee falls on the 10Th, at time when the
full force of the Mercury equinox will blend
with other perturhing causes One OF the
most severe disturbances of the month will
eliminate within forty eight hours of noon on
the 10Th. The barometer will drop to one OF
its lowest readings for the month, thick coudi.
ness and great humidity will prevail, and
general storms of auiumnal rain, turning to
destructive sIeet, and later Into blizzardous
snow and northwest gales may be expected.

quadrature with earth and sun on the 22nd.
Cold, high winds out of the northwest will
rush in behind these storms as the high ba-
rometer moves eastward and southwark dis
placing the storm areas. Sharp cold with
frost and freezing toward the north, will visit
most sections from about the 22nd to the 25th.
A reactionary storm period IS central on
the 25th, 26th and 9th. The moon is on the
celestial equator on the 26th, and this fact will
insure more or less rise in temperature, with
decided fall of the barometer. cloudiness and
return of rain and snow The disturbance Of
this period will eliminate on the 26th and
27th by which dates storms will have passed

regular storm period begins on the 29th
and runs at least four days into December,
being central December the End. The full
moon falls on the Both, which fact will greatly
tend to bring on the disturbances of this
period on and touching that date. The in
ferior conjunctions of Venus and Mercury
fall within an hour of each other, at twelve
and one o'clock on the night of November the

tons of the barometer, excessive magnetic
and electrical disturbances, with heavy seismic
shocks in many sections of the globe, will
occur on and close TO the Goth and 30th.
Naturally, storms and atmospheric trouble are
of kind with all these things and need not
surprise any one on land or sea as November
goes out. Study these forecasts with care.
note the times of storm, tempest and change
and be ready.
