Jupiter influence, and the length OF

have been fully discussed from time

the Words and Works Magazine; but
we will take it up ugain as we enter
more fully into this period, refresh,
ing the minds of our old readers and
giving necessary information to the
thousands Of new readers who are
continuously added to our number
every year: The Jupiter disturbance
lasts not less than two full years,
gradually approaching its full

kinds of disturbances are known to

combination with each other, are not
broken up by the Jupiter period, but
on the contrary, they are all lntenSl-

A regular storm period is central
on the 7th, extending from the 9TH to
the 18th.
The Moon is full and at extreme

equator on the 18th Mercury and
Mars on the 5th. Mars and Jupiter
on the sth; Mercury Mercury and ! Jup pi on IN
on the 18th, are all in conjunction
with the Earth and Sun IN the order
named. All these, with the June
solstice and the opening of the Jupl-
ter influence, are combined with the
regular Vulcan period at this time.
