HICKS WEATHER FORECAST FOR
SEPTEMBER.

We publish below from Word and
Works the Hicks weather forecast for
this month:
| "A regular storm period covers the
first week in September. being central
on the 4th. A very threatening barom-
eter, with high temperature will ap-
pear in western extremes by the Sd and
4th and storms of much energy will
sweep progressively over the country
from the 4th to 18th. The elimination
will come on and touching 7th
"a reactionary storm period comes
close after the crisis of the first period,
it's central on 9th, 10th. and II. Heavy
storms of rain, hail, wind and thunder
will move out of the northwest, also,
and be followed by great change to
cooler, with probable frosts.
"a regular storm period the 14th to
18th is one of great and almost certain
severity. 1t is at the crisis of the au-
tumnal equinox. This period, and this
Whole central part Of the month, is full
of perturbing causes and phenomenal
| possibilities. Hurricanes and cyclonic
storms should be anticipated about the
southern coasts, with sympathetic,
equinoctial, tornado storms over the
interior. The chances are that.general
storms and atmospheric unrest will
continue until after.
"a reactionary storm period, which
is central on the Goth, 21st and 22d At
the wind up of this prolonged time of
general and violent disturbance, look
for phenomonally high barometer,
fierce northwesterly gales, and dash of
almost early winter out of gthe north
west The boreal change will lie APP
proximately between the 21st and 25th.
"a regular storm period covers the
closing week of September. 1t is cen
trail on the 9th and its eliminating
days fall on Friday. 9th to Sunday 18th.
This period will bring d change to
warmer, falling barometer and return of
marked storm conditions. The chances
are that September will be disturbed,
if not phenomenally stormy and out of
joint, to the last. Such may not be the
case-we do not affirm positively that
it will. But we do say that the astron-
omic outlook for this month strongly
points out such results. We do not
mean that great calamites are in in
evitable, or that the foundations of
nature will be out of order but unless
there is a compensating resultant OF
warning forces that we can not now
see, the meteorological record for Sep
TENDER, taking the whole world over,
will approach the phenomenal.
1--WE have often called attention to
the fact that premature spells of cold
weather are almost certain to come
when a Venus disturbance falls in an
autumn month. The storm diagrams
for three months show that al Venus
equinox is central on the 18th, extend
ing from the closing day of August al
most to the middle of October. 1t is
greatly to be desired that warm, late
fall should compensate for the late,
cold spring, and such is sometimes the
case: but there is reason to fear that
a spell Of unreasonably cold days and
nights will come during the Venus
period named. 1t is safe to say that
some Of the warmest days of the season
will come in September, eliminating in
severe tropical storms; but it will be
wise to anticipate sudden and far-reach-
ing changes to much colder weather
and frost over wide areas to the north
ward. Such changes may not eliminate
fully before the closing stages Of the
Venus period, during the first two weeks
of October, but the chances are that
one or more of the September storm
periods will end in sudden high
barometer from the northwest, bring
ing boreal gales, cold nights and severe
frosts in all northern parts of the coun-
try.
