ing thunder storm is different proposition
from the harmless sheet lightning which
blazes all around the heavens in the June
nights.
sa"A reactionary storm period falls centrally
on the 10th, 21st and ed. The moon passes
over the celestial equator working southwark,
on the 10th. 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
followed quickly by phenomenal lightning and
thunder with violent wind in many localities.
Solstice cloud bursts and local floods may be
eput down as certainties for this storm period.
1.-The fifth regular storm period has its GEN.
Ter on the 9th, reaching from the Oath to the
18th. The moon is full and in perlgee on the
25th and at extreme south declination on the
26th. Low barometer and other storm condi-
tons will appear at the very beginning ofthis
period, and solstice storms of rain. wind and
thunder will continue daily through the
greater part of the same, especially over central
to eastern parts of the country. Another
marked seismic period will fall from about the
oath to the 27th most notably on the 25th and
Goth. The probabilities are that the heaviest
and most general rains in June will fall dur
ing this closing period of the month"
