ROUGH WEATHER COMING.
Prophet Hicks Predicts Storms And
Cold In Plenty for November.

IN his WOrQ ana w 0rkS Tor November
Rev. Ire r. Hicks makes the following
forecasts for November:
"A reaction storm period is central
on the End, Bird and 4th. The indications
are that the disturbances coming over
from the last October period will be
prolonged into this reactionary period
At any rate, the interval between two
periods will be unsettled and threaten
ing, making a "spell of bad weather"
during the closing days of October and
the opening days of November. These
disturbances of snow and rain will cul-
inmate about the Bird or 4th and be fol-
lowed by a rising barometer, northwest
ly winds and cold, frosty nights.
"A regular storm period is central on
the 9th, extending from the It'll to the
18th.
by the 9th the growing storm con-
dition will have increased, so that gen
eral cloudiness and rain will be in prog
ress in western sections. and during the
10th, 18th, and 18th, rain, turning to
sleet and snow on the western TANKS of
storm areas, will progress to the east
across the country. This is another
period which promises to be prolonged
into a spell of unsettled, if not continu-
ed rainy, snowy, stormy weather.
"One of the most severe disturbances
of the monthwill eliminate within forty
eight hours of noon on the 10Th. The
barometer will drop to one of its lowest
readings for the month, thick cloudiness
and great humidity will prevail, and
general storms of autumnal rain, turn
ing to destructive sleet, and later into
blizzardous snow and northwest gales
may be expected, covering the northern
and extending far into the central sec
ton.
"a regular storm period extends
from the 18th TO the Ord with moon at
greatest south declination on the 18th
and at first quarter. or quadrature with
earth and sun on the 22nd. The mer-
curry disturbance extends over this per
iod, also, and its effects will be appar-
ent in thick, prolonged cloudiness, sleet
and snow. Falling barometer, higher
temperature and greatly increased in
tensity in storminess will develop and
pass rapidly to the eastward about Tues
day, the Goth, to Friday the 23rd. Cold,
high winds out of the northwest will
rush in behind these storms as the
high barometer moves eastward and
southwark displacing the storm areas.
Sharp cold with frost and freezing to-
ward the north, will visit most sections
from about the 22nd to the 25th.
"A reactionary storm period is cen
trail 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, clondiness and
return of rain and snow. The distur-
Dances of this period will eliminate on
the 26th and 28th by which dates storms
will have passed well to the east, with
high barometer and colder, clearing
weather following in the immediate
rear Of storm areas.
"a reactionary storm period begins
on the Goth and runs at least four days
into December, being central December
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.
I'VE believe that phenomenal pertur-
bations of the barometer, excessive
magnetic and electrical disturbances,
with heavy seismic shocks in many sec
tons of the globe, will occur on and
close to the Doth and Both. 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.
