June Weather.

we dll hHOW We nave udQ very COlQ
and disagreeable weather during the
month just closed, and here comes
Hicks, the St. Louis weather prognos-
ticator and predicts some more bad
weather for June, but we hope his
predictions may not come true. He
says:
regular storm period is central
on the LIST, extending from May goth
to June 3rd. The moon is on the ce-
lestial equator on the End, calling
for decided rise of temperature,
marked fall of barometer, with rain,
wind and thunder on and touching
that date. Change to warmer, with
electrical storms occur as a rule
when moon crosses the equator.
Cooler weather will follow closely
behind these storms.
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the 9Th, 18th and Sth, with
new moon on the 18th, near it's peri
gee and extreme north declination.
The June solstice and the Venus
equinox are both beginning to be
felt at this period. Look for very
nigh temperature, low barometer and
VICIOUS thunder storms during this
period. Heavy rain, with probable
nail, will result during the progress
OF these storms, followed immediate
~ by much cooler. Within three
days of sunset on the It'll, expect
reports of seismic shakes from var
lous parts of the globe
A regular storm period covers the
9th to the 18th. This period is at
the annual June crisis of magnetic
and p1acf rico1
every year on June 18th Auroral
lights, phenomenal electrical cur
rents through the earth and on tele-
graph lines, with great electrical
storms, are natural at this time The
growing Venus disturbance will in
tensify such conditions at this period
Seismic and volcanic disturbances
will naturally be prolonged into this
period. Disturbances of this period
will probably not reach their final
elimination until about the 18th.
Look for sharp change to cooler,
when wind shifts to northwesterly
with rising barometer at end of the
period.
A reactionary storm period on the
18th, 18th and 18th will quicken the
prolonged tendency to daily thunder
storms and showers, which condition
may be expected through most of
this month, owing to the combined
influence of the June solstice and the
Venus equinox. The Mercury period
is also in force at this time, almost
insuring a prolonged spell of stormy
rainy weather.
A regular storm period is central
on the 23rd, with full moon at ex-
IRENE south declination on the 22nd.
the solstice period central on the
21st, the Venus period central on the
23rd, and the Mercury period central
on the 25th. Including the reaction
airy period preceding, we will say
that the regular storm period extend
ing from the Goth to the 26th prom
Uses to be one of the most violent
and dangerous of the whole month or
year. Look for phenomenal electrical
displays, with rain, hail and tornad-
oes. The barometer will fall very
low, and other indications will give
ample local warnings. There is no
need that any should be surprised
by dangerous storms, and it is folly
to be worried-if you are prepared
The general and heavy rains will
cause floods in all central rivers. An
other seismic period is central on the
22nd, extending three days before
and after.
a reactionary storm period covers
the last three days of June. The
moon is on the celestial equator on
the 29th, with Mercury. Venus and
Earth still combined in their disturb
ing power. Renewed storms of rain,
wind. and thunder will visit many
sections on and touching the 18th.
The outlook for June is full of pros
poets for unsettled, stormy weather
All sections in central to northern
states will most likely have an ex-
cess of rain, while the south and
southwest may not have normal
amount of rainfall. If sudden ex-
tremes of temperature should not
follow storm periods, and if tremend-
Gus thunder storms are not general
over the globe, earthquakes will be
more destructive and widespread
