May Weather.


Louis weather prognosticator prom
Uses us in the way of May weather:
A regular storm period is central
on the LIST, covering the last three
days in April, reaching to May the
4th. This period involves marked
seismic period. also. central on the
LIST. May will come in with low bar
ometer, high temperature and
storms of rain, wind and thunder
we'll on their transition from west
to east Even we'll instructed
child, having a barometer to consult,
will be able to foresee whether the.
storms are going to be dangerous.
Low barometer, high temperature,
humid, muggy air and south, to south
easterly winds, at this and all May
storm periods, will be signals Of
tornado danger. Heed them! Much
cooler will spread from west to east
about the End to 9Th, behind storm
areas.
A reactionary storm period has its
center on the 9Th, 7th and sth, dur
ing which it will grow warmer, bar
ometer will fall and more rain and
clustering winds will pass eastward
over the country. The Venus period
will remain in force to the middle
Ct May, causing vicious electrical
storms, with sudden changes from
warm to cool, at all the storm per-
iods. Nights will be quite cool from
about the Sth to 18th, with possibly
frost northward.
A regular storm period central on
the 18th, involves the 18th to the
18th. The moon is on the equator
on the 18th, and on the 10th, which
facts indicate that a daily cycle Of
heavy rain and thunder storms, be-
ginning on the 18th, will most likely
continue until after new moon on the
18th. Here again, the barometer
will prove the most reliable and
faithful friend. If it drops to low
readings about the 18th and 18th,
look for severe storms Of wind, rain,
hail and thunder to follow, and if
the barometer fails to rise and the
winds continue from the east and
south, with continued high tempera-
ture, expect storm paroxysms to re-
peat themselves daily. When the
wind shifts steadily and cooler from
the west, and the barometer rises
1esolutely, the cycle of daily storms
will cease, and settled weather will
follow We must cautiously warn
our readers that we are now in the
"solar eye," or the focus Of solar
energy, as it passes front south to
north, and that tornadoes are at a
maximum frequency and severity
through all this part, of the month.
The mid-month seismic period ex-
tends from the 18th to the 10Th, be-
ing central on the 18th
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the 18th, 18th and goth, with
moon at perigee and extreme north
declination. Atmospheric tides, or
wind currents, will be strong from
the south, causing high temperature
and low barometer, with return Of
rain and thunder storms at this per-
'iod. The moon being nearest the
earth on the 18th, and furtherest
north on the. Goth, will necessarily
bring it's disturbing influence to bear
most forcibly in the northern hemis-
phere. = Ocean tides and perturba
tions will be greatest in ATTITUDES
corresponding to the moons north
declination, hence-why not ctmos-
pheric tides, as we'll as electric and
magnetic concentration A cool wave
will follow this period from the
northwest.
A regular storm period, intensified
by the mercury period, covers the
23rd to 9th, being central on the
oath. In western extremes the bar
ometer will begin falling by the
23rd, south to east winds and warm
weather. will prevail in central to
eastern sections. Low barometer,
attended by rain, wind and thunder,
will advance eastwardly across the
country during. the oath to 27tn.'
The crisis Of the period will fall on
the 25th and 26th. All gathering
storms should be watched at this
time, as violent storms are probable.
A reactionary storm period is on the
29th, both and 31st. A seismic
period is central on the 3Oth--from
9th to June 4th.
