Hicks Weather Forecasts for Septem-
ber.-We publish below from Word and Works
the Hicks weather forecasts for the present
month:
"a reactionary storm period is in progress as
we pass from August into September Reac.
ton to antistorm conditions may occur on and
touching the I'd and Sd but the presence of the
Mercury period central on the Sd, together
with the increasing force Of earths autumnal
equinox will cause a continuation of unsettled
weather. These combined causes will add en-
phasis to and prolong the existence ofall equa.
torial 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 4th to the 9Th. Storms
which may have been sighted of the gulf
regions prior TO this period will gain new life
and energy during the 4th to 9Th, causing Sc
we're and perhaps destructive visitations along
the south coasts and inland toward and over
the great lakes. As early as the 4th or 9Th, the
barometer will indicate growing storm condi-
tions in western and southern extremes. Dur
ing Sunday. 9th, to Tuesday, 9Th, and possibly
over the 9th and 10TH these conditions will
bring decided September storms progressively
to most parts of the country.
"a reactionary storm period is central on the
10th, 18th and 18th, having full moon on the
10th, between its perigee on the 9th and its pas
sage over the celestial equator on the 18th. The
9Th to the 10Th is at the annual crisis OF mag
and the chances are many that the disturbances
of the preceding period will last into and reach
their final elimination during this reactionary
period. Within period of about five days
taking the 10th as the central day, it will be
most natural that many equinoctial storms and
seismic perturbations should occur. Behind
these storms, beginning in the far northwest,
say about the 18th, look for rapid and very de-
cided changes to high barometer, boreal gales
and much cooler weather. This change will
spread eastwsrd 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
18th. The crisis of this period will fall on the
18th, 18th and 10Th. This period, of course, is
near the center of earth's autumnal equinox
and anyone who has done his own Watching
and studying for any number of years does not
need to be informed that dangerous equinoctial
storms are liable to appear at this storm period.
Such, indeed, is the case at any storm period
| from the middle of August into October. 1t is
| always safe to look for the strongest combina-
| ton of disturbing causes anywhere from one to
| four weeks before or after the central day of
earths equinox and figure that the most gen.
| eral and violent storms and other disturbances
| will develop at this time
IA reactionary storm period runs from the
| 22d to the 25th. This period will not come to
| its full elimination before the time Of new
moon on the 25th. Low barometer and threat
ening weather will appear perhaps with storms,
before that date; but the temperature will keep
| up and storm conditions will intensity until
after the 25th Indeed the moon being on the
celestial equator on the Goth, severe electrical
storms on and touching that date may bridge
the interval and cause a continuance of storm
conditions into the last period of the month.
"a regular storm period begins on the 9th
and extends to October I'd, being central on the
10Th AS the month goes out low barometer
and general storm conditions will be in transit
from west to east. By the 10Th and Both wide
areas of cloudiness and rain will develop, bring.
ing in general spell of autumnal rain, wind
and dsagreeable weather.
