September Weather.

The predictions of the weather
for the coming month by Hicks, the
st. Louis weather prognosticator,
are as follows: .
A regular storm period is central
on the 5th, embracing the 3rd to the
Sth. By the 9Th low barometer,
rising temperature, cloudiness and
gathering storms will appear in
western sections, and during the 9Th,
18th and Sth, rain, and threatening
conditions generally, will pass in
regular, progressive order eastward
ly across the country. The proba-
bilities are that the rainfall during
these storms will be moderate. The
barometer will remain below nor
NAL, and the temperature will not
fall, as ordinarily, after the passage
of these disturbances, giving con-
tinued spell of very warm weather,
except in the extreme northern parts
of the country.
A reactionary storm period in
wolves the 10th, 18th and 18th, the
moon being in perigee on the 9Th,
new on the 10th, and on the equator
on the 1th. 1t must also be remem-
bered that maximum crisis of cleo
trical and magnetic unrest falls each
year from about the Sth to the 18th
of September, being central on the
18th. This tendency will be greatly
aggravated this year by the added
force of the moons conjunction with
the earth and sun on the 10th. Look
for great barometric fluctuations,
very warm weather and unusual
manifestations of electricity and
magnetism. Aurorial lights, phe-
nomenal currents in Geographic
wires, thunder storms, volcanic out
bursts and seismic disturbances are
among the things to be expected.
and near the 10th, 18th and 18th.
The center of marked seismic period
is on the 10th involving the Sth to
the 18th. High barometer and much
cold weather, with probable frosts
northward, will come out of the
northwest from about the 18th to
18th.
A regular storm period is central
on the 18th, covering the 5th to
the goth. The barometer will fall,
temperature rise and renewed
storms of rain and wind will pass
eastwardly across the country dur
ing this period. Keep in mind that
equatorial, or West India storms are
probable at each or any of these
September periods. The gulf coast
regions should take special note of
this fact A sharp, brief rise of the
barometer, stiff gales and change to
much cooler, will follow on western
TANKS of these storms.
A reactionary storm period is CO.
autumnal equinox on the 21st, 22nd
and 23rd. This period will, in
great measure, fill the time between
the preceding and succeeding regu-
lar storm periods, causing prolong-
ed time of threatening weather,
with many violent storm areas pass
ing from west to east over the
country in regular progressive order.
A regular storm period is central
on the 2Sth, extending from the 10Th
to October the LIST. The mercury
period comes in at this time, the
moon is full, on the celestial equa-
tor, and at an eclipse node on the
26th. All these, being near the CEN
ter of earth's autumnal equinox,
call for very active and violent dis
turbances Hurricanes in the south,
and inland storms generally are to
be expected. A very low barometer
anywhere, at this time will presage
danger. The 26th is the center of
seismic period, involving the 23rd
to the 18th. Earthquakes will be re-
ported in many directions. The
month will end with change to very
cool. In the extreme north and
northwestern sections, rain will end
in dashes of snow and sleet, follow
ed by freezing temperature at night.
