A regular storm period is central or

storms making their transit from west
to east. The claimax or elimination
of this period will fall ON and touching

tor. coming north, until the 9Th strong
ly indicating that high temperature
and threatening celestrical storms may
not subside entirely at the end of the
first period. The 1st to the 4th is also
probable seismic period.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 18th and Sth and this fact most
probably will cause storms that origi
nate on the 9th to continue over the
7th and 9Th.
A regular storm period is central on
the 18th and covers the 10th to the 18TH
This period is coincident with the Sep
TENDER magnetic crisis, which earth
passes annually from Sept 9th to 18th.
This, as we have often explained, is
because earth's magnetic poles are in
clined to the equator. Look for high
temperature, low barometer, threat
ening storm clouds and severe electri-
cal phenomena, centerlng progressive
ly on the 18th to 14th.
A reactlOnary storm period is CEN
trail on the 18th, 18th and 10Th. This
period will carry the earth to the cen
ter of it's autumnal equinox. 1t will
be prudent to heed all Indications of
equatorial storms at all September
storm periods. We figure that such
storms will be heard from within six
ty hours of noon On the 18th. The
moon is in perigee, Or nearest the
earth, on the 21st and this fact will
greatly increase the tendency to tidsl
waves at this period.
A regular storm period runs from the
22d to Goth, being affected by mercury,
earth and the entering of the Venus
period. From the 23d to Goth is time
OF maximum storm probability. Look
for cOmmingling of tropical and
boreal conditions, bringing rain, wind
and thunder in some parts, with pos
sible sleet and early spurts of snow in
the far North. A reactionary disturb
ance is central on the 18th and Both,
causing low barometer and general
change to storm conditions as Sep
TENDER goes out.

WILL DISCUSS NEW MARKET REUNION
"A COUNTY MONUMENT, ETC.
StOnewall Jackson camp, which sus-
pended regular meetings during the
summer, will resume their sessions
Tuesday evening in their camp hall.
A large attendance is expected that
night as some very interesting mat
ters are to come up Among them is
the proposition to attend the reunion
on the New Market battlefield on the
7th of Sept. AS Hon. A. G. Braxton is
to speak, good many may attend.
The erection of a monument to the
Confederate soldiers of Augusta coun-
ty will also be discussed. This sub
ject. which was good deal agitated
two years ago by DIR. Carter Berkeley
on the part of the camp and had be-
gun to assume shape, was unfOrtu-
nately suspended by his death, but is
again agitated by several active vete
rams and Confederate ladies, and 1t
will perhaps assume definite shape
Tuesday night.
1t is proposed to place it, with the
consent Of the supervisors, upon the
court house green, a beautiful location,
and to raise fund by private sub
scription and otherwise, and to secure
the cooperation of the ladies of the
county and city. There are over sixty
Confederate monuments in the State
most of them having been located on
or in front of the court houses, for
which an act of the legislature pro
vides. Augusta is the largest county
In Virginia which has no county mon
ment, though the beautiful one in
ThoI nrOse cemetery cannot be ignored
and is the pride of every one, but is
seen by comparatively few citizens or
visitors.
Another matter of much interest not
fully developed will also be presented
to the camp for consideration Tuesday
night. and all mem bers from the cOun-
ty as well as city who can come, ought
to be on hand.
