"a regular storm period covers the LIST to the
9th of July, being central on the Sd, with full
moon at extreme declination south on the same
day. Certain wise critics inform us that it is
safe to predict warm weather in July, so we
will say that very high temperatures will pre-
vail from about the I'd to the 9th, causing

will visit many localities in their eastward
sweep over the country. While we do not look
for heavy general rainfall in July the COM
bined forces of Venus and Mercury will natur-
ally cause some violent local downpours. AS
the storms move to the eastward. the barom-
eter will rise west of storm areas bringing
cooler, westerly winds and fair weather; but
in advance of these changes most parts of the
country will have clustering to violent thun-
