Req. TI Hicks On March
His Program Includes Billiards and Marked Parox-
ysms of Storms and Weather Changes

The Rev lrl Hicks of st. Louis is
inclined to view March as through
glass darkly. His mind is filed with
grim forebodings. He has an unus-
ual number of storm periods and he
throws in a blizzard or two for good
measure, and also marked parOXySms
of storms and weather changes. Prob
ably the people OF this section will
submit cheerfully to any kind of
weather that may be sent, but it is
to be hoped that they may be spared
these marked paroxysms," whatever
they may be. The professor predicts
thusly.
The first regular storm period is
central on the End, coming over from
the closing days of February and ex-
tending to March 9Th.
Disturbing causes and what TO look
for-added to the regular Vulcan dis
turbance, we find that the moon in
opposition to earth and sun on the
LIST, on the equator on the End, and in
perigee on the 4th. This period is
also covered by a mercury disturb
ance and the earth's vernal equinox.
| AS we enter the month of March, q
wave of warmer weather will be adj
vancing from western extremes, the
barometer will be falling and cloudi-
ness increasing. On and touching
the End and 3rd, storms of rain, wind
and thunder will visit wide localities
in their regular sweep across the
great central valleys and on to the
eastward. Before the first stages of
OF OF
ern extremes, rain will have turned
to sleet and snow westward, and
something approaching first class
March blizzard will follow across the
country as a sequel to the period,
with rising barometer and much cold
er. Unsettled, cloudy and threaten.
ing conditions, growing out of the
prevailing mercury influence, will
continue between the storm period at
this time. Phenomenal sleet storms
will be natural characteristics of all
storms during this March period.
The first reactionary storm period
will be central on the It'll, 8th and
9th. This will be at the center of the
mercury equinox, with moon at last
quarter and an extreme south declin,
alton. On the touching these reac.
tionary storm days, look for return OF
low barometer, change to warmer,
and renewal of very active storms of
wind and rain, turning again to sleet
and snow, and followed by rising ba-
rometer, and much colder, clearing
weather.
The second regular storm period
will be central on the 14th, extending
from the 18th to 18th.
Disturbing causes and what to looH
for.-The annual magnetic and cleo
trical crisis which reaches its culmi
nation about the 10th to the 18th O
March, will mark this period will
added severity. The moon will be on
the equator and in conjunction with
earth and sun on the 18th. The in
diCations are that very severe storms
will pass generally over the country
on aud touching Saturday, Sunday
Monday and Tuesday, the 18th, 18th
18th and 18th. The first stages oil
these storms, if preceded by sudden
rise in temperature and marked fall
of the barometer, will bring vicious
thunder and lightning, with very
probable tornadoes in sections cen
trail and southwark. The crisis Of
The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1915-03-11

this period may be looked for within
about twenty-four hours of 6 p. m. on
the nth. Watch your barometer and
all other storm indications, during
and about the days mentioned. Sud
den change to high barometer and
cold nOrthwesterly winds and treez'
ing weather, will rush suddenly on
the heels OF storms at this time.
The second reactionary storm per
iod falls centrally on the 18th, Goth
and 2lst This period is at the cul.
mination of the earths yernal equi-
nox, which fact calls for uncertain, il
not continued stormy weather
through much of this part of March,
even outside of the storm periods.
But marked increase Of storm condi-
ltions-which always means change
to warmer, falling barometer, thick
ening clouds, and intensified stormi-
ness-will appear on and touching
the 18th, Goth and 21st. The regular
rise of barometer, change of winds to
westerly, with cold, clearing weather,
will follow Immediately on the heels
of these storms. Watch at this, and
all other storm periods, for the regu-
lar procession of the different phases,
marching eastward across the coun-
try. Sometimes they will be few
hours late or early, but any ordinary
observer can always see that the ele-
ments are undergoing the regular
periodic changes, and make correct
and practical calculations, as to
when the storms and other features
of the periods will pass his locality.
This is a fact which we desire to re-
peat and insist upon until it is thor
oughly impressed upon the mind OF
every one Of our readers. To see and
understand that storms are going to
culminate, locally day or so early or
late, will prove intellectually valuable
to any intelligent observer who keeps
his affairs we'll in hand, and is ready
to act promptly or to defer action
Iuntil the opportune moment.
The third regular storm period is
nearly coincident with the central
vernal equinox. 1t is central on the
18th, and extends from the 23rd to
the 29th.
Disturbing causes and what to look
fo..-The March equinox, being at
this crisis, will blend with and great.
~ luLelSlIy lulS regular vulcan SlOTIu
period. The moon will pass its first
quarter at the greatest north declin
alton on the 23rd. 1t will also pass
southwark over the celestial equator
on the 29th and reach it's opposition
with earth and sun on the Goth. This
astronomic outlook will tend to pro
long the scatter disturbances at this
time, bringing in all probability two
marked paroxysms of storms and
weather changes-one at the begin
ming and one at the close of the per
iod. Normally, the Gath, 25th, 26tl
and 9th are the central days O
storm and danger, and it will be wis
and prudent to keep an eye on your
barometer, and all other indications
of possible disturbances, on and next
to these dates. These disturbances
will eliminate in cold March rains
with very probable spurts of snow
change to much colder with the ris
ing barometer which is certain t.
bring up the rear of storm areas in
the west. Unsettled and threaten
ing weather conditions will probably
be prolonged into the reactionarS
period beginning on the last day O
March.
