Hicks Weather Forecasts for Octo-
ber.-We publish below from Word and Works
the Hicks weather forecasts for next month
"a reactionary storm period is central on the
I'd, Sd and 4th. On and touching Wednesday,
I'd, to Friday, 4th return to storm conditions
will be noted, in falling barometer, change to
warmer, bringing cloudiness and autumnal
rains progressively over the country. Only
moderate change of barometer and temperature
will follow this period.
"a regular storm period is central on the 9Th,
covering the 7th to the 18th. The new moon
falls on the celestial equator on the 7th. This
fact will preciptate storm conditions at the be-
ginning 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 east.
ward sweep across the country.
"A reactionary storm period will eliminate
on and touching the 14th and 18th. In fact,
the causes aresuch that threatening conditions,
with autumnal rains, may continue from the
preceding period the 9TH to 18th, ending in
secondary elimination or crisis on the 14th
and 18th. Much of the country will expert
ence very cool days and frosty nights not far
from the 10th to 18th.
"a regular storm period embraces the full
moon very close to the celestial equator. This
matter of the moon being on the equator at
new and full appertains to the equinoctial peri
DDS and they correspond this month so closely
as to suggest equinoctial phenomena not far
from the 7th, as well as the period 18th to 22d.
Seismic disturbances will be quite natural at
both periods. This fourth storm period
covers the 18th to 22d. Early in the period,
in western extremes, falling barometer will
announce approaching storm conditions. By
the Goth cloudiness and rain will appear, and
from Sunday the Goth to Tuesday the 22d,
storm areas will make their transit eastwardly
across the country. The crisis of the period
will fall on the Goth and Dist in all the central
parts of the country. Rain and wind, with
lightning and thunder, will attend the first
stage of these storms, but change to cool, au-
tumnal rain, with snow possible in the north
and west, will result on the north and west
TANKS OF storm areas all followed by very cool
nights and frosts, reaching well to the SOUTH
ward.
"a reactionary storm period is central on
the 25th, 18th and 9th. 1t will bring period
of mistiness and thick, prolonged cloudiness
that will hardly break away during the re-
mainder of the month.
"a regular storm period begins on the 10Th,
is central on the 3lst extending to November
the Sd. As October comes to its close the ba-
rometer will indicate the approach of positive
and general storm conditions from western
sections. From about the 31st to November
Sd autumnal rains will take up their march
from west to east, touching most parts of the
country and being followed from the west and
north by rising barometer, change to cold,
westerly winds, with early snow and sleet over
large areas to the northward. The indications
are that general autumnal storms and weather
will be ushered in about this time and much
inconvenience and loss may be averted, especi-
ally to agriculturalists and dealers in perish
able goods, by prompt and vigilant roundup
of the the autumn's work. All the opportunl-
ties in October should be wisely and industri-
ously used preparatory against storm and wea-
ther in November. Wespeak from experience
in giving this advice and warning.
