Hicks Weather Forecasts for Sep
TENDER.

TEMPER
"A regular storm period covers the first
| week in September, being central on the 4th
A very threatening barometer, with high
temperature will appear in western extremes
by the Sd and 4th and storms OF much energy
! will sweep progressively over the country from
the 4lh to 9TH. The elimination will come on
| and touching 7th.
IA reactionary storm period comes close
after the crises of the first period. 1t is cen.
trail on the 9th, 10th and 11h. 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 l4th to 18th ls
| one of great and almost certain severity.
1t is at the crisis of the autumnal equinox.
| This period. and this whole central part OF
| the month, is full of perturbing causes ana
phenomenal possibilities. Hurricanes and
cyclonc storms should be anticipated ABOUT
| the southern coasts, with sympathetic,
eouinoctlaI, 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, 2lsf and 22d. At the
| windup of this prolonged time of general and
violent disturbances, look for phenomenally
| high barometer, fierce northwesterly gales,
| and dash of almost early winter out OF the
northwest. The boreal change will lie ap-
proxmately between the 2lst and 9th.
IA regular storm period covers the closing
week of September. 1t is central on the 9th
and its eliminating days fall on Friday, 9th,
to Sunday 29th This period will bring its
change to warmer, falling barometer and TT re-
| turn 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 astronomc outlook tor
this month strongly points TO such results.
We do not mean that great calamities are IN.
evitable, or that the foundations of nature will
be out of order; but unless there is compen
sating resultant of warning forces that we can
not now see, the meteorologic cal 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 al.
most certain to come when Venus distur-
bance falls in an autumn month. The storm
diagrams for three months show that Venus
equinox is central on the 18th, extending from
the closing days of august almost to the middle
OF October. 1t is greatly to be desired that a
warm, late fall should compensate for late,
cold spring, and such is sometimes the case;
but there is reason to fear that spell of un.
seasonably 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 reaching changes
to much colder weather and frost over wide
areas 10 the northward. Such change 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, bringing boreal gales, cold nights
and severe frosts in all northern parts of the
