Hicks Weather Forecast.

This weather prophet made pretty
good guess for February. Here is his
prediction for the coming week
March - to 10:
"a reactionary storm period Is CEN
trail on the 18th, 18th and 18th. The
annual magnetic and electric crisis
also falls centrally on March the 18th,
extending for several days on either
side of that date. Hence peculiar
and phenomenal perturbations in
earth and air will mark this period
and most likely extend through the
last storm period
"a regular storm period is central
on the 18th, covering the 18th to Goth.
The mercury disturbances eliminate
at this time, with full moon on the
18th and moon on the celestial equator
on the 18th. Billiards and serious
interruption of transportation and
supplies need surprise no reader of
these forecasts in northerly directions.
After the storms there will be danger
of cold and frost far to the south. On
and touching Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, 18th, 18th and 10Th, no
central to northern section should
be surprised If one of the greatest
snow blockades of the winter should
strike it. A decided cold wave for the
season will follow these storms and
dominate the weather over most parts
of the country up to the next storm
period,

Child Drowned ut Upperc0.

The drowning of Dora Boerner, 9
years old, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederick Boerner, and the thrilling
rescue of Rosie Walsh, Ia years old,
an aunt of the child, Is reported from
Upperco.
Last Saturday Rosie Walsh and her
niece were crossing Piney run, which
was exceedingly high, when the child
slipped from the log used as bridge
and fell into the water. The aunt,
becoming frantic, also fell into the
stream, and both were carried down
the run by the current.
About 100 yards away, at her home,
the mother of the child saw the two
plunge into the water and rushed to
the rescue. When she reached the
bank of the stream she saw her sister
clinging to branch and helped her
out of the water, but the child had
already been carried farther down the
stream and when found one mile be-
low was dead. Her face was bruised.
The body was taken home. The fun
eral was held Monday from st. Paul's
Lutheran Church, Arcadia.
