THE JUNE FORECAST
BY REV. RL HICKS
The Kind of Weather We Are Go.
ing to Have Next Month.
WATCH 1T" HE SAYS.
Auroral Lights and Volcanic Outbursts
Will Play a Part in the June
Weather Drama.

We are going TO have some" weather
during the first week in June. accord
ing to the Rev. Irl X. Hicks. the long
range prophet. Just what kind OF
weather it will be he confesses he does
not know, but he is sure ip will come.
And he sapiently advises watch it,"
OF course, by diligent watching it
may be directed into the proper chan
nels, that storms and other catastro-
Plies may be avoided. This peculiar
circumstance, for it is peculiar when
Rev. Hicks finds anything in the wealth
er that he is not willing to predict at
least eighteen months in advance. all
comes from a very unusual punching
of the planets
Rev. Hicks first "reactionary" storm
Will come along from June 9th to 18th
This is to be attended by magnetic
crisis and great trouble is i'm store for
ali who work with wires about this pc
riod. Perhaps the seer had occult in
formation that this date would be mid
way between the two great political
conventions, when wire-pulling is sup
roral lights ami volcanic outbursts will
play their part at this time in the
drama that Hicks and Mother Nature
have written for humanity.
Study your barometer and watch the
clouds about this period. The sue
ceeding regular" storm period extends
from the 18th to 18th. The Moon is
in opposition to the Earth and tn Sun is
in peigee. OF course this meaps tror.
to be the innocent bystander. as the
solar system will doubtless go on just
the same. Rev. Hicks thinks the crisis
means thunder storms, and he advises
us to keep from under trees and go in
the house when it rains. Surely no
one will disagree with the wisdom Of
this splendid advice.
Heavy local rains may be expected
if we have thunderstorms, but it is
necessary TO have one of Hicks barom-
eters on hand. because otherwise peo-
pie frequently suffer from needless :
prehension. The 'reactionary" storm
period will take up from June 2lst to
June 23rd and will give us the same
kinl ofw eathr we shall have been
having. The summer solstice will be
largely responsible for this, bat the
plaents will do their share.
The next and last regular storm
period will run from the 25th to the
end of the month. The prophet tells
of a very grave condition of things
which will confront us at this period
but the results he predicts do not seem
as serious as one might anticipate
| THE solstice period comes to an end
| and the Mercury period begins about
| the 2Sth. or the centre of the VULGAR
period. The Moon reaches its extreme
| declination north simultaneously VIII
| its apogee. and its conjunction with the
| Earth and the Sun, on the Both" ina
| is what the heavenly bodies will b'
doing. but all that the prophet can ge
out of this rare opportunity is that WI
shall likely have warm weather ant
| thunder showers.
| Altogether, there are only twelve day
i'm the month of June for which tn
| NOUS forecaster does not predict som
| storms. OF couse, if it should storr
on any of the other eighteen days
