weeks before or after the central day OF
earth's equinox and figure that the most
general and violent storms and other
disturbances will Develop at this time.
"a reactionary storm period runs
from the END to the rs b. This period
will not come to its full elimination be-
fore the time of new moon on the 35th.
Low barometer and threatening weather
will appear perhaps with storms, before
that date; but the temperature will keep
up and storm conditions will intensity
until after the 18th. Indeed the moon
being on the celestial equator on the
26th. severe electrical storms on and
touching that date may bridge the in
terval and cause continuance of storm
conditions into the last period OF the
month.
"A regular storm period begins on the
9th and extends to October End, being
central on the asth. AS the month goes
out low barometer and general storm
will be in transit from west to east. By
the Goth and Both wide areas of cloudi-
ness and rain will develop, bringing in
q general spell Of autumnal rain, wind
and disagreeable weather.

Hicks for September.

We publish below ffom WORD and
Works" the Hicks weather forecasts
for the present month:
"a reactionary storm period 10 in
progress as we pass from August int
September. Reactionary to anti-storm
conditions may occur on and touching
the End and 3rd but the presence Of the
Mercury period, central on the 3rd, to-
gether with the increasing force OF
earth's autumnal equinox, will cause
continuation of unsettled weather.
These combined causes will add empha-
sis to and prolong the existence of all
equatorial storms that may appear in
the regions of our southern coasts about
this time.
"a regular storm period is central ON
the 9Th, extending from the 18th to the
9Th. Storms which may have been
sighted off the gulf regions prior to this
period will gain new life and energy
dur ing the 4th and 9Th, causing severe
and perhaps destructive visitations along
the south coasts and inland toward and
over the great lakes. As early IS the
4th or 9Th, the barometer will indicate
growing storm conditions in western
and southern extremes. During Sun
day, 9th, to Tuesday, 9Th, and possibly
ever the 9th and 10th, these conditions
will bring decided September storms
progress lively to NEST parts Of the coun-
try.
"a reaction airy storm period is CEN
trail on the 10th, 18th. and 18th, having
full moon on the 10th, between its peri
| perigee on the 9th and its passage over
the celestial equator on the 18th. The
9Th to the 18th is at the annual crisis of
magnetic antagonism between the earth
and sun, and the chances are many that
the disturbances Of the preceding period
will last into aud reach their final Gull
mination during this reactionary period.
Within period of about five days, TAX
ing the 10th as the central day, it will
be most natural that many equinoctial
forms and seismic perturbstious should
occur. Behind these storms, beginning
in the far northwest, say about the 18th,
look for rapid and very decided changes
to high barometer, boreal gales and
much cooler weather. This change will
spread eastward and southwark during
the 18th to 18th, breaking up heated
conditions, with probable frost in many
localities northward.
"a regular storm period covers the
18th to 10th. The crisis Of this period
will fall on the 18th, 18th and 10Th.
This, period, of course, is near the cen.
ter of earth's autumnal equinox and
anyone who has done his own watching
and studying for any number Of years
does not ed to be informed that dan.
gerous exuinoctial storms are liable to
appear at this storm period. Such, in.
deed, is the case at any storm period
from the middle of August into Octo
Der. 1t is always safe to look for the
strongest combination of disturbing
causes any where from one to four
