October Weather.

Here is what Hicks, of st. Louis,
promises us in the way of October
weather:
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the 4th and 5th, near the
center of Mercury period A regu-
lar storm period reaches in LIST and
End, central September the 2Sth.
These disturbances will pass over
central to eastern sections October
list and End, but a falling barometer
with cloudiness and rain will pre-
vail generally on and touching the
4th and 9Th. The influence of
earth's autumnal equinox, uniting
with the Mercury period, will pro-
long this period, causing much
cloudy, threatening weather.
A regular storm period, central on
the 9Th, covers the 7th to 18TH
Earth, Mercury and vulcan" will
unite in this period, with Moon at
perigee on the 7th, on the equator
on the Sth, and new, at a total
eclipse node, on the 10th. Great
atmospheric disturbances are very
likely, and the barometer readings
should be carefully watched along
all southern coast regions. Tidal
disturbances are to be expected.
Thunder, rain and high winds will
visit many interior parts OF the
country, turning in northern Sec
tions to sleet and snow. An early
cold wave, for the season, will come
with the rising barometer behind
these storms, sending frosty nights
far toward the south. A very mark
ed seismic period involves the 9TH to
the1 9Th, central on the 10th. Watch
for reports.
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the 14th, 18th and 18th.
The moon is at greatest declination
on the 18th, hence the atmospheric
tides will flow from northerly direc-
tions, bringing boreal storms of
cold rain, merging into sleet and
snow over vast areas. The baro-
meter will rise on western TANKS of
storm centers, bringing autumnal
gales and change to much colder,
progressively from northwest. The
quadrature of Uranus and Neptune
with sun and earth on the 10Th and
the 23rd, will intensity conditions
at this time, prolonging the tend
ency to seismic perturbations.
A regular storm period is central
on the 21st, extending from the 18th
to the oath. During this period the
moon is in apogee on the 18th, and
and the celestial equator on the
23rd, Look for decided fall Of the
barometer, approaching from west
ern extremes, as early as the goth,
and during the 21st, 22nd and 23rd
81 will inn
ing rain, wind and thunder storms
to pass progressively from west to
east across the country. These dis
turbances may be prolonged, in con-
of the full moon on the
25th, causing unseasonably raw and
weather from one per-
iod into another. High gales over
the lake regions should be appre-
hended at this time, with falling, in
clement weather generally. A seis-
mic period will naturally bring re-
ports of the earthquakes in many
parts of the earth, from about the
22nd to the 2Sth, being central on
the 25th. -a. ..-
A regular storm period will be in
Its first stages as we pass from
October into November that is, in
western parts of the country the
will be rising, the
barometer will be falling, with
growing cloudiness and threatening
weather, and during the opening
days of November storms Of rain
and snow will pass in regular rota-
ton eastwardly across the country.
Each section, during the progress of
a storm. period, first has a day or
two of warm, fair, weather breed
ing weather." with falling barome-
ter east of snow areas. These condi-
lions are followed by rain or snow
from the west, while sections west
of storm areas have rising barome-
ter, change to colder, westerly winds
and clearing weather.
The month of October is, as
rule, the time when decided changes
take place in weather conditions in
the northern hemisphere. Boreal
storms set in from polar directions
and dominate atmospheric condi-
tion on sea and land. Storms on the
north Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
and over all the great lakes espec-
tally more hazardous and uncertain.
But the indications for the present
October are that milder weather will
prevail, as rule, forcing the severe
storms and inclement weather ordi-
narily due in October, later into
All haste and care in
outdoor work should be
exercised during October. The
Venus equinox extends it's perturb-
ing influences over all the last half
of November, insuring very dis
agreeable and stormy weather.
