March Weather.

Rev. Irl R. Hicks, of St. Louis,
who seems to have the faculty of
making pretty close predictions on
the weather some time in advance
makes the following predictions for
the month of March.
A Regular Storm period is CEN
trail on the 3rd, covering the 1st to
the 9Th. The storm diagram shows
that the Venus period is central on
the 4th, and that the earth and Mars
period are in full force at this reg
ular storm period. BY the LIST, fall
ing barometer will begin in the
west, temperature will rise and
storms OF rain, wind and thunder
will start eastward by the End. Dur
ing the Bird, 4th and 5th, these
storms will pass eastwardly across
the country, with change to much
warmer, rain and thunder, east of
storm centers, followed by rising
barometer, with snow and sleet and
change to much colder, on western
sides OF storm areas. A decided cold
wave for the season will almost GER
talnly sweep south and east from
the northwest between the 4th and
eth. A seismic period, central on
February 2Sth, will extend three to
five days into March.
A Reactionary Storm Period falls
centrally on the 8th, 9th and 10th.
At this time the mercury disturbance
is added to those of Earth Venus
and Mars. This period is also COIN
cident with the annual magnetic and
electrlc crisis, central on and about
March 18th. If the Mars influence
should not bring warm, open wealth
er over from February-a thing
most unlikely-we may expect some
decided storms of rain, sleet and
snow between the 18th and 10th.
Rain, wind and thunder will be nat
ural in the first, oncoming stages
OF these storms, but rapid change
to snow, high barometer and cold
may be expected on the western
sides OF storm areas. Much colder
weather, but tendency to prolonged
cloudiness with threatening aspects,
will continue over the 18th, 18th
and 18th.
Regular Storm Period is central
from the 18th to the 10th The
central day of the mercury period
falls within this period, on the 10th.
The full moon and Moon on the
Equator also, fall on the 18th and
18th, making this period a time of
decided storm probabilities. We will
name Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, the 18th, 18th and 10th.
as days of possible violence and
danger, especially in the southern
states and about the gulf coasts.
Rain, sleet and snow, all followed
by high barometer and cold wave
for March, may be expected in CEN
trail and northern sections
A Reactionary Storm Period is
central on the 10Th, goth and 21st.
This period is at the center of the
Earth's vernal equinox, with the
periods OF Mercury, Venus and Mars
all nearing the end of their per-
turblng Influences. The Moon is in
apogee, at extreme south declina-
| ton and near last quarter. Unset
tied and threatening conditions, end
ing in violent quinoctial storms, will
be most natural on and near 18th.
goth and 21st. Gulf storms, sweep
ing into the interior parts of the
south, should be anticipated. North
! much colder, will attend and fol-
low these storms in central and
northern states.
A Regular Storm Period covers
the oath to the 2Sth, central on the
26th. Falling barometer, change to
Warmer ending in snow storms will
RESULT in this period New Moon
falling on the 3Oth, will restrain
high barometer and cold, which nat
urally should follow these storms.
Seismic periods are 18th to 18th,
and from the 9th to April the 3rd.
