Hicks Weather Forecasts for June.

We publish below from Word and Works
the Hicks weather forecasts for this month:
"a regular storm period extends from the
I'd to the 7th. 1t is central on the 4th, with
the moon on the celestial equator on the 9th.
The crises of this period will fall on and next
to that date. 1t will be preceded by mark ed
rise of temperature, with rapid and decided
fall of the barometer, and the cu mlnatlon will
come in sudden and severe thunder storms,
cloudbursts, hail, wind and possible lorna
does.
"a reactonary storm period is central on
the 9th, 10th and 1lth The new moon is on
that fall annually ON and about June the 11th.
This period will bring excessive warmth, very
low barometer, abnormal humidity and vlo-
lent thunder and wind storms. Earthquakes
will he reported in many quarters of the globe,
within three days of noon on the 10th. June
thunder clouds will break in hail storms and
cloudbursts in many localities during this
period. Rising barometer, west winds and
change TO much cooler will spread eastwardly
over the country from about the 1lth TO l4th.
''Third regular storm period will prove one
Of the most decided times of turmoil in June.
1t is central on the 18th and will come to its
eliminating stages during Sunday, 16th to
Tuesday, 18th. A low reading of your barom
eter at this time will be an admouition of
danger, which no one should ignore, especially
those who live in tornado and fiooG regions.
Let no one, under any circumstances, take
shelter under green trees during these vicious
thunder storms in June. Look for an excess
of lightning, some of which will be dangerous,
but most of which will be harmless aud suD,
lime The lightning of an on coming thunder
storm is different proposition from the harm
less sheet lightning which blazes all around the
heavens in the June nights.
"a reactionary storm period falls centrally
on the 20th, 2lst and 22d. The moon passes
over the celestial equator, working southwark,
on the Goth. On and touching that day look
for sudden and very decided rise of tempera
ture, with corresponding fall of the barometer
beginning, of course, in western sections-fol
lowed quickly by phenomenal lightning aud
thunder, with violent wind in many localities.
Solstice cloud bursts and local floods may be
put down as certainties for this storm period.
The fifth regular storm period has its cen
ter on the 9th, reaching from the Oath to the
29th. The moon is full and in perigee on the
25lh and at extreme south declination on the
26th. Low barometer and other storm con,
ditions will appear at the very beginning of
this period, and solstice storms of rain, wind
and thunder will continue daily through the
greater part Of the same, especially over CEN
tral to eastern parts of the country Another
marked seismic period will fall from about the
Oath to the 9th, most notably on the 25th and
26h. The probabilities are that the heaviest
and most general rains in June will fall during
this closing period of the month"

a Mistake Corrected.
IcoMMUNIcATED.1 /

AS manager of the Dennings baseball
team, L wish to state that the report of
our game with the Western Md. College, as
stated in the Sentinel was a mistake. We
understood before the game that they intended
quitting in the fifth inning, and we took them
boys, but if the w. NJ. College think we play
rag ball, it was only because they furnished
that kind. But now if they will not stand up
to their writing, let them put up SIS and we
will show them that they do not know how to
play even rag ball. Now, boys, show your
colors; but please employ an umpire who has
seen baseball. He is more suited for taking
pictures His eyes are bad because he thinks
the home plate is some dogs face he is taking.
AS tar as the strikeouts are concerned, they
had three against Jenkins 9. Now, boys,
money talks. We are ready. If you don't
think so, address the manager, c. E. Stem,

In this circuit are Carroll, Howard and Anne

TO the chief judgeship of the circuit it will
throw the election for an associate judge to
succeed him over until the fall of 1908, and
Howard county will probably put in a claim
for this nomination, as each of the other coun.
ties in the circuit will be represented on the
