SEPTEMBER WEATHER.
kWhat Hicks Promises Us for the
Coming Month.

3rd. This period will feel the shock
rof the Moons eclipse conjunction
with Earth and Sun on August 3lst,
intensified by Moon in perigee and on
the equator on the list. Equlnoct1ai
storms, attended by great electrical
disturbances and widespread earth
quake commissions, will very plobab-
, ly occur at this time. The first day
of September, and days next to it,
will be critical storm and seismic
center. Change to much cooler
weather, with frosty nights in north
ern ATTITUDES, need not be surprising
from about the End to the 9Th, with
daily progression from northwest to
southeastward.
A regular storm period is at It's
center on the 8th, covering the 9th
to the 18th. 1t will be remembered
by those who have studied our fore
casts closely that September 18th,
and few days before and after that
date, as rule brings phenomenal
crisis in the magnetic and electrical
elements. Northern lights, electrl-
cal storms, earth currents, volcanic
unrest and all related phenomena
are most probable about this time.
If the barometer fuctuates rapidly,
finally falling to very low readings,
any time in or about this period,
such may be regarded as evidence OF
violent winds, hurricanes and pos
sibly tornadoes. These disturbances
will probably eliminate on the 9Th,
10th, 18th and 18th. Cool nights
with frost in the northwest will fol-
low this period, spreading eastward
ly over the country from about the
10th to the 18th.
A reactionary storm period will
bring storms and other disturbances
on and touching the 18th, 18th and
10th. The full moon is at an eclipse
node on the 18th, and on the same
date it is in apogee and on the celes-
tial equator. The great planet, Sat
urn, is in quadrature with Earth and
Sun on the 10th-a fact that almost
certainly increases the tendency TO
severe earthquakes for several days
before and after. This period is also
near the center Of the Earth's au-
'tumnal equinox, and at the entrance
of the Mercury equinox. Watch
your barometer at this period; it will
foretell the approach of any possible
danger from atmospheric conVul-
sions. Earthquakes and storms Will
reach marked CRISIS within sixty
hours of sunset on the 18th. Anoth-
er high barometer, and change to
very much cooler, with frost north
ward, will follow on the western
TANKS of these storms. Watchful-
ness may save many perlsnaDle
plants and fruits from damage
especially in the northwestern to
central sections.
A regular storm period involves
the 18th to- the 22nd. This period is
at the center of Earth's autumnal
equinox. The Vulcan, Mercury and
Earth and Jupiter disturbances will
all combine their forces on this per-
iod. Equinoctial storms of wide
sweep and violent force are more
than probable at this tine. A cor
rect Interpretation of barometrlc
readings will foreshadow the nature
of approaching storms, long before
they strike. Boreal storms from the
northwest, will meet tropical storms
from equatorial regions at this time,
resulting in tornado storms over
central to southern states, and
change to high barometer, very
much cooler and frosts will result IN
many states as sequel to these equl-
noctial commissions.
A reactionary storm period is cen
trail on the 25th, 26th and 9th. rms
period is at the center OF the Mer-
curry period, and at the eliminating
crisis of the autumnal equinox OF
the Earth. There are strong proba-
bilities of a spell of threatening,
stormy weather extending over sew
eral days, and perhaps filling the
gan between the regular storm per-
iods Immediately before and after
these dates. We calculate that equa-
torial, or equinoctial storms and hur-
ricanes will be more numerous ana
more severe during this autumnal
period than common. In their pro-
gress from the West Indies, under
the influence of the Jupiter ana
Earth periods, they viii outlast and
overlap the normal limitations OF
regular and reactionary storm per-
iods. But they. will take on IN
creased energy, and be joined by To-
cal and inland storms OF lntens1tylng
violence, during the central days OF
the storm periods. There Will pc
danger of frosts at nights in the
high barometer areas that follow on
the heels of storm areas, and the
danger of frosts at these times will
be in proportion to the lowness OF
the barometer readings attending
the storms. The 10Th and 3Oth be-
long to regular storm period cen
trail in October. On and about the
18th there are good reasons to ex-
pect violent perturbations of Earth.
atmospheric and seas. On that date
Moon is in perigee, on the equator
and new at an eclipse node. One OF
the maximum seismic periods OF the
year is central on the 29th, extend
ing from about the 25th to October
5th. Sea coasts not elevated vel!
above the sea level, in all parts OF
the globe especially exposed to equl-
noctial storms and tidal waves, will
be subject to such dangers at this
time. In such localities, the barom-
eter should be closely watched, and
storm warnings needed.
