During the Month.

During the Month.
Rev. LII Hicks, the Missouri
weather prophet. makes the follow
ing forecast OF the weather that can
tie expected for the month OF Octo-
ber:.
A-reactionary storm period is in
progress at the opening OF October.
Earth's autumnal equinox covers ul
ITO about the Goth; the Venus period
is central on the 18th, and covers the
whole month; the Mercury period
reaches up to the 10th. and the reeu-
lar Vulcan period is in force from
the I'd to the 7th. The full moon
falls on the ID, being on the celestial
equator o the same date.
The regular storm period from the
I'd to the It'll, will take up the dis
%Jurbances and renew and prolong
them during the first week OF the
menth. Taking tile country as a
whole, every variety of storms from
tropical and tornado southwark, to
horeal, with early sleet and snow in
the extreme north and northwest.
are among the probabilities at this
time We warn our readers of very
d~isagresable, If not destructive
storms and weather, at this and the
following October periods.
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the 10Th, 18th and 18th. Look
at this for a return of storm condi-
tions-rising temperature, falling
barometer and return Of %cloudiness
and autumnal rains and gales. The
Venus influence all through this
part Of October will tend to ex-
tremes of temperature, with storms
all the way from vicious lightning
and thunder, to sudden change into
almost winter storms and tempera-
ture.
These autnmnal storm areas will
almost certainly bring severe to dan
gerous disturbances over the northern
lakes. Let those concerned note this
warning. Renewed high barometer
and change to colder will progress
eastwardly flom about the llthst t.
the 18th.
q regular storm period covers the
18th to the 2Oth, having new moon
at its center on the 18th, moon In
perigee on the 10Th, and the ceutel
OF the Venus period co-incident with
new moon and center OF the VULGAR
period on the 18th. In all proba.
bility this will prove n of the most
severe to dangerous storm periods o.

be natural on and about the 18th.
"A reactionary storm period is cen.
trail on the 23rd to 18th, at which
time change to warmer, falling ..bai
Iometer, with cloudiness and more
autumnal rain may be expected. Oul
agricultural readers should keel
these October periods in mind,
A regular storm period covers tilt
last five days Of the month, embrac.
ing the second full moon in October
on the 31st and noon on the equator
on the goth. Failing barometer ane
change to walme will appear in tilt
west early in this period. storm
areas will develop in the same re
pions, and during the 18th to 3lst
wide stretches OF cloudiness, Iair
and snow will pass across the whole
country from west to east. The cul
mination Of these storms will proba'
bly, center on the 3Ist, on or before
which date an early cold wave, with
decided cases OF uutulnnal snow ant
gales will be we'll on their sweeI
from the northwest.
