EQUIN0CTIAL STORMS
Came With the Beginning of Fall and
May Continue for Several Days.

Fall began yesterday according to
the calendar and with it the equinoc-
tial storms which are sure to follow
but which arrive sometimes several
days later than the arrival OF the
season. Such storms always follow
the period when the days and nights
are equal and cold chilling rains us
ually result,
The weather profits had predicted
that the equinoctial storms would not
come for several weeks and that a
long, pleasant fall would result Now
that the storms have started the
prophets say that they will likely con
tinue for several days and that the
weather viii be colder for several
weeks.
