A regular storm period is central
on the Sth, covering the 18th to the

celestial equator on the 9TH. This
fact will precipitate storm conditions
at the beginning Of this period.
Low barometer. very warm for the
season and general storms of thunder,
wind and rain will set in about the
7th in the west, and during the 8th,
9th and 10th THESE storms will take
wide paths In their eastward sweep
across the country. People along
the gulf and Atlantic coasts, also
the Pacific, should not forget that
equinoctial storms are very probable
about this ..period. High barometer
from the northwest will push severe
to DANGEROUS gales over the lake

period covers the 18th to 22nd, and
promises to bring very decided
autumnal storms. Early in the

barometer will announce approaching
storm conditions. By the Goth,
cloudiness and rain will appear, and
