A reactionaly storm period falls

From 9th TO l2th a series of storms
will sweep most parts of the country
progressively from west TO east. Tor
nadoes are probable at this period.
Rapid change to high barometers.
westerly gales and much cooler will
follow this series OF storms, and frosts
will visit many central to northern
sections from the 10th to l4th.

A regular storm period runs from
the 10Th TO the Esd. This promises to
be the most active to violent period in
May. Low barometer, very warm.
humid atmosphere and electrical
storms of marked severity will pre-
vail to tho first and continue TO the
end of this period. All through the
central part of May there is great
tendency at the storm periods to daily
cycles of storms, for n number of days
in succession, breaking up as a rule
with a general, and very violent
storm. The elimination of this per
iod will fall within t~hirtv.six hours
of midnight on the cad. The outlook
for this whole period is threatening,

A reactionary storm period is cen

cooler will spread over the country
generally at the wind up of these

The last day CT May is the begin
ming of a regular storm period which
will express itself during the opening
days of June. The outlook for June
is exceptionally threatening. Extreme
and phenomenal results NAV be expect
ed, and the conditions in May will
indicate the general character of
[ phenomena to look for. A general
maximum of electrical storms with
many seismic and volcanic disturb-
ances are among the prominent prob
abilities.
