From the Sioux City Tribune.

Iowa is to experience one of the
worst storms in it's history during the
coming year, according to the almanac
Of Rev. Irl r. Hicks. of st. Louis.
copies of which have just reached
Sioux City. As a long n weather
fo~recaster, Rev. Mr.. Hicks stands I'M
equaled. While the reverend gentle
man is considered a Joke by scientists
and government weather men, each
year he issues his weather ~prognosti-
cations, unconcerned at the scoffers and
unbelievers of his theories.
Rev. Mr.. HickE Is regarded as a pes
simist, but this year his forecast is in
deed gloomy and foreboding. He says
and October 20 Des Moines will be
visited by a cyclone that will put all
former wind storms in the shade. AL
though a definite late Is not desig-
mated, the st. Louis prophet declares
that in the interval mentioned Iowa.
will be a seething. whirling storm cen,
ter.
Starts in February.
The storm will begin in February,
when a raging blizzard Is due to sweep
across the state. 1t is called a crisis
to a reactionary period" and Hicks
adds:
Without the slightest pretense of
claim to prophetic knowledge, we again
declare that 1910 will have it's victims
of storm weather. With equal truth
and emphasis we may also repeat that
all years have them And Just as
truthfully may we affirm that almost
100 per cent Of loss n suffering and
death will occur within the limitations
Of periodic times, defined and charted
IN this almanac as storm n danger
periods. We could not afford to put
this declaration on this page, If we
were not gladly willing for thousands
to say whether the history of our work
for 40 years justifes it."
This same storm will cause trouble
In all parts of the globe in the opinion
Of Rev. Mr.. Hicks. Cyclones and tor
nadoes will be in order everywhere, and
he says the loss OF life will be great.
The month OF April will furnish inter-
esting news for the papers, storms Wis
it1ng cities and causing wholesale de-
struction.
Planets Will Mix 1t.
Following these disturbances floods
will be in order, and the planets Venus.
Earth and Mercury will engage in a
triangular fight. causing storm ructions
that will bear watching.
Fourth of July will furnish its own
fireworks, according to Rev. Mr.. Hicks.
Due to the little scrimmage of the
planets, there will be severe thunder
storms during thu first three days of
the month, eliminating with a dazzling
storm on the night of the
third. followed by a chilly spell on the
Fall a Bad One.
In the fall of the year will come
storms which will do millions of dol
lars worth Of damages. Concerning
this the prophet says:
Within the recollection of this storm
prophet. millions upon millions of dol
lars worth of ships and cargoes have
been destroyed and hundreds of lives
been lost in October storms on
the great northern lakes. There is a
tendency of fierce northwesterly gales
over all that region, annually, in Octo-
Der and November, but this tendency
is increased when a Venus equinox falls
in these months. The storm diagram
shows q Venus period central on Octo-
Der 13 and extending into November.
The Mercury period coming into force
the last week OF the month, blending
with the Venus period, as already
will breed storm n weather
especially on and about the
great lakes, and perhaps on the north
ant seas and coasts, that ought to
shippers and navigators on their
guard. We thus repeat and emphasize
the warning"
IT 1910 was ushered in with a ras ine
blizzard it will not go out as a lamb
for 1t Will be very cold and on Christ
day there will be blowing a ree,1-
lar blizzard.
