to 10Th. AIter the CulMlHdlloH "
rain, wind, hail and thunder storms
on and touching the 18th to 10Th,
look for sudden revulsions to high
barometer, westerly winds, and much
cooler weather. The Mercury influ-
ence will cause prolonged cloudiness,
and reinforced by the Venus equi-
nox, will excite the elements to
spell of stormy, threatening weather
beyond the normal limits OF this
storm period.
A reactionary storm period is cen
trail on the 18th, 18th and 18th. The
Mercury, Venus and Earth braces IN
the storm diagram show that these
astronomic perturbers are united IN
their disturbing force at this time.
Conditions are such that very threat
ening storms should be no surprise
to any of our readers on and about
Thursday, the 18th to Sunday the
goth. West India and equatorial
gales, hurricanes and tornadoes in
the extreme south, are among the
things TO expect, at this and othef
August storm periods. The reaction
from this phenomenal heat or unsea-
sonably cool, under the Venuslan
breeder of extremes in temperature,
should be expected after all these
August periods OF rain, thunder and
wind In high northern ATTITUDES,
these sudden and extreme changes TO
very cool will bring frosts OF more or
less intensity to many localities be-
fore the end Of August
A regular storm period is central
on the oath, holding under its in
f!uence Tuesday the 22nd, to Sunday
the 9th. Disturbing causes and
what to look for.
The warning forces OF Mercury
and Venus, and the increasing force
OF Earth's autumnal equinox, with
the Moon at extreme north on the
END, and in apogee on the oath, will
all conspire in the disturbances OF
this period. The conjunction OF the
Moon with Saturn on the 24th, ana
with Neptune on the 25th, will also
be possible factors in these distur-
Dances. People who live in western
extremes may expect falling baron-
eter and other indications OF brew
ing storms as early as the END and
23rd, and by the Gath, storms OF
rain, wind and thunder will assume
aggressive force, moving through
central to eastern parts OF the CONT
nent from the 18th to the 9th. Look
for ..our part of the marching wealth
er caravan-warm and threatening,
O. the storm area itself, or the
change to clearer and cooler follow
ing. accordingly as you live eastward,
centrally or westward. Don't De
foolish, or piggish enough to expect
any one of these conditions at your
door throughout the whole storm per-
led, but expect them to glide from
one into another as the whole move
ment of change and storm and
change pass by you from west to east.
Do the work most needed during the
warm, weather-breeding days that go
before the storm; do things best suit
ed, during the passage OF the actual
storm; do things common sense die
tates, in the cooler, clearing area
that follows after the storms and
winds up the period. The better you
comprehend what we are trying to ex-
plain, the more you will see that 1t
is not balderdash, and the more
pleasure and commercial value you
will derive from it. In understanding
and approaching these great facts OF
nature, you will indeed, be hitch1ng
your wagon to star"-God will be
your ally, and creation will become
your carrier and servant.
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the last four days of August.
The Moon is in conjunction with Sun
and Earth on 2Sth, and on the celes-
tial equator on the 29th. Distur-
Dances of the proceeding storm per-
iod may last into this period; at any
rate, storms Of renewed and quicken
ed activity will return on and about
the 2Sth and .29th. Watch your bar
ometer-watch the clouds-watch
for reports. Change to very cool
nights should be expected with frosts
to the northward, within seventy
hours of the dividing line between
August and September.
