July Weather.

We have been having mighty hot
weather during June and Hicks
comes along predicting a drouth for
this summer but we will live in hope
that he misses his prediction this
time. He makes the following pre-
dictions for July:
A regular storm period, central on
the 4th, covers the End to the 7th,
having moon in perigee on the 3rd,
and new moon at extreme north
declination on the 9Th Mercury, We
nus and Earth all extend to this
period with more or less perturbing
power. At the beginning of this per-
iod look for decided rise of temper
ature and fall of the barometer in
western sections. From the 3rd to
7th these conditions will gradually
move eastward across the country,
growing into a great warm wave and
attended, on and touching the 4th,
5th and 9Th, by vicious storms of
and local tornadoes. The indications
on and touching the Glorious
Fourth. y From the 3rd to the 9th,
taking the 9Th for it's center is a
very marked seismic period. Earth
quake regions in the northern hem
isphere, and antipodal regions south
Of the equator will be under great
seismic strain at this time, notably
on, and touching the 4th and 5th
High barometer and cooler will fol-
low storms from the west.
A reactionary storm period covers
the 9Th, 10th and 18th, but the
storms of this period may center in
and eliminate on the 18th, the date
of the moons passage from north to
south across the celestial equator
Westerly winds, rising barometer
and cooler should naturally follow
this storm period.
A regular storm period runs from
! the 18th to the 10Th, being central
| on the 18th Storm conditions, such
as change to warmer, falling barom-
eter and cloudiness, will appear to
the west early in this period, about
the 10th, 18th and 18th, clustering
thunder clouds, with heavy showers
and wind will touch many localities
in their sweep from west to east
across the country This period will
also be followed by rising barometer
and cooler air from the northwest
A reactionary storm period, with
full moon at it's center, falls on the
21st, 22nd and 23rd The moor
will be at extreme south declinatior
on the goth, and hence atmospheric
tides should naturally flow from
northerly directions and prevent ex
cessive warmth at this period. Not
WithStanding, rise of temperature
| fa11inc
thunder showers will be natural OF
and touching the 22nd. From tn
18th to the 25th constitutes a seis
mic period, having it's center on tn
22nd. The Venus disturbance come
to its close at about this period.
A regular storm period centers O.
) the 9th, extending from the Est
, to the goth. The moon crosses tn
; celestial equator on the 26th, is a
last quarter on the 18th, and in per
gee on the goth. Throughout TIL
period the moon will be out runnin
4 the earth and approaching nearer t
!, us, swinging from the equator nortl
Y ward. Hence, a great warm way
!, will be natural during this perio,
J, increasing in extent and intensity
!, it spreads eastward from day to da
y Low barometer and storms of raj
d wind and thunder may also be e
n pected, all reaching general Gu
mination on and about the Goth. The
are reasons to apprehend that sci
e mic disturbances may be prolonge
S or retarded from the preceding sci
mic period, into the closing stor
q period for July. Watch the repor
/ OF same on and touching the 20
e and Goth :
n We calculate that the general raj
a falls will be moderately sufficient
