FEBRUARY TO BE STORMY.
Is the Prediction of Hicks, the St.
l., mis Weather Pro2nostiCatOc.

| J. r. Z Z y /.
The first reactionary storm period
lis central on the st, End and Bird. A
change to warmer weather will pass
from west to east over the most parts
+, of the country on and touching the
| 1st, End and 3rd, attended by falling
barometer, cloudiness and rain-the
/ rain turning to snow over central to
northern sections of the country. The
4 Moon will be on the celestial equator
on the 3rd, moving toward it's south
declination. Winter lightning and
thunder, especially southwark, will
be natural on and touching that date,
but sudden revulsion to severe cold
should be looked for within few
hours OF these electrical storms.
This change to rising barometer and
cold gearing weather, will reach
parts of the country, moving from
west to east, from about the End to
the 9Th.
The first regular storm period ex-
tends over the 5th to the 18th, hav-
ings it's center on Sunday the 7th.
Disturbing causes and what to look
| for-The vulcan influence" lies at
the foundation of this and all other
storm periods. The Venus equinox is
still in full force, with Moon in peri
gee on the 18th, at last quarter on
the 9Th, and extreme south declina-
/ ton on the 9TH Pacific coasts and
mountain regions will have growing
storm conditions by the 5th and 9th.
Falling barometer, change to warm
er, growing cloudiness and storms Of
wind, rain and snow will grow in ex-
tent and force, as they pass eastward
and southwark across the country
from the 7th to the 10th. These
storms will be crossing the central
Mississippi valley about the Sth and
9th, with barometer rising and cold,
clearing weather advancing from the
west, and threatening storms ap-
preaching the Atlantic coast states.
Thus three distinctive phases of
weather will prevail in these ex-
tremes at the same time. Each sec
ton, will have it's turn at each OF
them, as the changing conditions
country. II you do not correctly an
your locality, it will be through your
logged Indifference, or failure to
watch forecasts and growing indica- |
tons. By every consideration-7put
a Word and Works barometer in your
office or residence.
The second reactionary storm per-
iOd falls centrally on the 18th, 18th |
and 18th, The Venus disturbance |
will still contribute it's influence, in |
connection with the Moons conjunc-
ton with the Earth and Sun on the
18th. This conjunction of Moon,
Earth and Sun is at an eclipse node,
and will make itself felt in aggravat-
ed storms and seismic disturbances.
A wave of warmer weather, falling |
barometer and sudden, severe storms
of wind and rain, followed by snow |
and cold, will touch most sections
beginning far weston and touching |
the 18th, 18th and 14th See for
yourself.
The second regular storm period is
central on the 18th, extending in its
influence from the 18th to the 21st.
Disturbing causes and what to look
for-the Venus period eliminates at
this period, blending with the on
coming vernal equinoctial period, all
uniting with the regular Vulcan per-
turbation The Moon is on the celes-
tial equator on the 18th and at first
quarter on the 21st. Look for change !
to much warmer, with falling barom-
eter, and possibly electrical storms, !
the first days of this period, as the
Moon is moving from south to north |
declination, bringing warm, electri-
cal currents from the south. The |
Sth, 10Th and Goth are the culminat-
ing days of this period. On and
touching these days, storms of great
er or less severity will make their
transit from west to east across the |
country. They will begin in the
form of cloudiness and rain, but will
turn to snow on the western TANKS,
attended by rising barometer and
change to cold, northwesterly winds |
and clearing skies. Sharp cold will
prevail generally at the windup OF
this period.
The third reactionary storm period
is central on the oath, 25th and 18th.
On and touching these days, all care
full observers will see that the sky
will soften, winds will turn to south
erly, followed by falling barometer,
change to warmer, with return of
rain and snow, drifting progressively
over the country from west to east.
Another decided squirt of cold, with
rising barometer and northwest
winds will follow these storms. Make |
your arrangements accordingly and
see how far you miss it. AS rule,
the atmospheric tides follow the
Moon in it's destinations north and
south of the equator, causing south
erly winds and warmer when it is at
north declination, and northerly |
winds and colder when it is south.
But under stress of special cOmbina
tons, there are exceptions to this
rule, when sweeping boreal winds
rush southwark before the Moon is
far from it's north declination. Such
promises to be the case at the close
of this third reactionary period, or
before the Moon reaches the celestial
equator going southwark. Cold. dis
agreeable weather will prevail over
most parts of the country, as Feb
ruary comes to it's close. Under the
influence of an oncoming storm per-
iod, change to warmer, with falling |
