Hicks Weather Prediction.

regular storm period beginning
IN September will extend at least two
days in October, during which days
storm areas will be over sections
toward the Atlantic, and sharp anti
storm conditions that is, rising bar
ometer, northerly winds and change
to colder Will be advancing frou west
to east behind the storms 1t is quite
probable that cary snow squalls may
come with the northern and western
tangants of these storms.
A reactiOnary storm period is cen
trail ON the 18th, 9Th and 9th. The
chances are that disagreeabte autumn
nal weather will continue into this
period from the preceding period with
an increase Of cloudiness, tall of the
barometer and quickened rain and
snow storms on and touching the 5th.
The winds will naturally flow from
northerly directions in most parts,
adding bleakness and autumnal chill
to the weather.
A regular storm period is central
on the 10th, covering the 8th to the
18th, inclusive. The influence of
Earth's autumnaI equinox, in dimin-
lshed force, will extend into this
period, as will also the beginning of
the Mercury disturbance. Change to
low barometer, much warmer ana
growing cluudiness will appear al the
beginning Of this period, especially i'll
the extreme southwest parts of the
continent, and during the 9th, 10th,
18th and 18th, storms of wide magni-
tude and marked violence will visit
many parts of the country. Peril on
the gulf coasts should take no one by
surprise at the beginning of this per
l0d, and all should know that danger
IS probable on the lakes and IN the
lake regions before It's close. On CT
not far from the 9Th you will hear of,
or witness. some big autumnal storms
and gales.
A reactionary storm period will ex-
press itself On the 18th, 10th and 18th.
On and touching these dates look for
change to warmer, falling barometer,
change of wind directions with return
of cio1diness and precipitation. Thick,
continued cloudiness, resulting in au-
tumnal drizzle, winding up with sleet
in many sections, is the general out
Look for this period. Rising barometer,
sharp northerly winds, frosts and some
freezing will mark the 10th to the
2Ond. over most parts of the country
northward.
A regular storm period covers the
21st TO the 25th The 22nd is the cen
trai date of this period, but it will
reach beyond its normal limits on the
25th. By the 23rd, low barometer
and autumnal thunder storms will be
IN progress from west to east, and
| these conditions will cover wid6r areas
and gain in intensity as they march
across the country. Barometric pres
sure will rise. the temperature will
fall to decidedly cold readings, and
boreal gales will follow from the
northwest immediately in the wake of
these storms. The 22nd to the 9th is
another period of decided seismic pos
sibilities
A reactIonary storm period falls
centrally on the 9th, 18th and 29th.
The Moon reaches its extreme south
declination on the Goth, not TAR from
first quarter on November 1st. Hence
northerly gales and horeal storms will
mark this period and the closing days
of the month. 1t will be we'll to figure
on snow squalls in northern sections
on and touching the 18th and 18th.
Following the storm areas. the baro-
meter will rise rapidly and marked
change TO colder will spread generally
from west to east by the end of
October.
