NOVEMBER WEATHER.
Forecast for the Present Month bY
Rev. IrI R. Hicks-A Reaction
arY Storm Perind.


There will be all kinds of weather
this month. according to the forecast
By the Rev. Irl Hicks, Of Word and
Works, who says:
A regular storm period Is at its cen
ter on the first, beginning in October
and reaching TO November s. The
Moon is in perigee on the Sd and on
the celestial equatorson the bth, and
being thus nearest TO US and on the
equator, we may reasonably expect
prompt and decided results.
The barometer will show storm
conditions ny the lst in central parts
of the country, on their eastward
movements from western sections.
The temperature will rise. the barom-
eter viii continue TO fall, cloudiness
will increase, and about the 3rd, 9TH
and 5th rain, wind and thunder
storms will eliminate during consecu-
tive days, passing eastward to the
Atlantic. Behind the storms the
barometer will rise. winds will
change TO westward, with snow
squalls and much colder weather.
A reactionary storm period fall
ing on the 9Th. 7th and Sth, with
new Moon on the Sth, threatening
weather will continue over from the
5th, bringing a return of falling ba-
rometer, change to warmer and III
creasing storms of rain and wind on
and touching the 8th and 9Th These
storms will end in dashes of early
snow and change to very much colder.
about the 9th, 10th and llth.
From the 9Th to the 1lth, central
on the 8th, ganeral seismic unrest
will be very natural and probable.
We urge every reader to watch for
all telegraphic reports of such phe-
nomena, the world over; keep a rec
ord of dates on which earthquakes and
storms are reported and prove to
yourself and friends whether or not
these things happen in conformity to
our theory and forecasts. regular
storm period involves the 18th to the
10th, being central on the 18th. At
this period the Moon will be at ex-
treme south declination and atmos-
ph eric tides will flow from northerly
directions, increasing the probability
of cold rains and winds, added to
snow and sleet over central to north
ern parts of the country.
The Mercury and Venus periods
will both be felt in the disturbances
of this period, and to the end of the
month. Storms of this period will
culminate on the 18th, 14th. 18th and
16th-first to the west and thence
progressively, day by day, to the
astward. High barometer and change
to westerly winds and much colder
will push the western fianks of the
storm center, all the way to the At
lantlc. One of the most important
things to know, and keep in mind, is
that rising te emperature, falling ba-
rometer and fair weather precede
storms, and rising barometer and
colder, clearing weather will follow
storms.
A reactionary storm period falls on
anl touching the 18th, 10th and goth.
There will be electrical storms CEN
tering on and touching the 18th, the
date of the Moons crossing the ce-
lestial equator. Under strain of both
Mercury and Venus periods decided
storms, eliminating in snow and
sleet, may be expected at this period
A general low barometer at this
time will be ample warning OF dan
gerous autumnal gales, especially on
the Atlantic and over the lake re-
gions. High barometer, with stiff
gales and early cold wave. A regu-
lar storm period involves the 23rd to
the 28th. Watch your barometer.
This period calls for violent autum-
nal storms. Rain, sleet and snow,
fierce gales and a sweeping cold
wave following will be the order.
The Venus period, which begins about
the middle of November, will inten-
sify and aggravate storm conditions
all the last half of November. but the
elimination of the period will fall in
December.
