November Weather.

We have had a remarkably fine
fall so far, but according to Irl R.
Hicks, the St. Louis prognosticator
we can look out for stormy weather
during the month of November
Here is what he predicts for this
month:
A reactionary storm period falls
or the 1st, End and 3rd, being near
the center of the Mercury equinox,
in the Venus period, and at new
moon at an eclipse node. The month
will come in with menacing condi-
tions-rising temperature, falling
/ barometer and positive storm areas
| moving rapidly from west to east.
Heavy autumnal storms should not
surprise the student of these fore
casts the first three or four days
Of November. Rain and thunder
storms will turn to sleet and snow
northward, and high cold gales will
come from the northwest as the
barometer rises behind the storms.
These storms will bring discomfit
and danger to navigators on the
seas and lakes. The last three days
of October, up to November the
4th, central on the1st, is one of the
most positive seismic periods of the
year. The earth will not pass out
of the seismic strain engendered at
this period until after the opposition
and eclipse of the moon on the 10th.
A regular storm period is central
on the 9Th, disturbing from the 9Th
to the 18th. The elimination of
the Mercury period is at the crisis
of this period. Moon is at extreme
declination south and at first quar-
ter. Storms of rain, snow, sleet and
wind are indicated for this period,
all followed by high barometer,
sweeping northwest gales and very
cold for the season. Only the fool
hardy will despise storm possibili-
ties and indications, and venture
on the lakes at this time.
A reactionary storm period covers
the 18th, 14th, 18th and 18th. The
fact that the moon is on the celes-
tial equator on the 18th, and both
full and in pedigee on the 10th,
indicate that decided storm periods
will begin at the beginning, and
continue to the end of this period.
Thunder, wind and rain will begin
in the west on and touching the
18th. Low barometer will attend
these storms as they progress from
west to east. The elimination will
come on and touching the 18th,
when change in rising barometer,
northwesterly gales and possibly a
November blizzard will set in from
the northwest. All coast regions
and cities specially exposed to high
tides, or tidal waves, should be re-
minded of possible danger on and
near Wednesday, November the 10th.
That date is also the center of the
most decided seismic period Of the
year, extending three to four days
before the 10Th. On that date falls
the full moon at an eclipse node,
causing total eclipse of the moon,
and hence bringing earth. moon and
sun on direct line with each other.
According to the calculations of |
this :'star prophet" earth, air and
seas will undergo an astronomic
strain that will be heard from at
this time. See if the whole tribe
of plagiarizing prophets don't go
forecasting seismic trouble when
they read this prediction.
A regular storm period is central |
on the 18th, covering the 18th to |
22nd. The indications are that lit
tie intermission of fair weather will |
appear between this and the pre-
ceeding storm period. This will |
likely cause a prolonged spell of |
weather, increasing in
to renewed storms of rain and snow
and on and touching the 10Th, 2Otn
and 21st. On the heels of these
storms the barometer will rise and
change to much colder with high |
gales, will come out of the north
west
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the 23rd, oath, 25th and |
26th. This period will eliminate |
on and touching the 25th and 26th,
moon being on the celestial equator |
on the 26th. Low barometer, high |
temperature, with possible lightning |
thunder and rain, on the 26th. Ris-
ing barometer and change to colder
will come promptly behind the
storm. That month goes out at the
oncoming of a regular storm period,
with moon in apogee on the Goth,
and new moon on December LIST.
Falling barometer, rising tempera-
ture and increasing cloudiness will
appear in the west by the 30th,
bringing to that section rain and
snow nv DQcamhor LET
