Hicks September Forecast

\ reactionary storm period fans
centrally on the LIST. md and 5r0.
The equinoctial strain of Jupiter,
Mars and Earth, all three combined,
is sufficient 10 excite expectations oUt
of the ordinary, at and about this
period. But the fact that the Noon
is in opposition to earth and sun,
and in perigee and on the celestial
equator, all on the lst, is sutiicien,
to'cause storms and other phenOme-
ma that will call for Vigilant watch
ing and care.
A regular storm period is centra:
on the 18th, extending over the 6tn
to the 10th. The moon is in con-
junction with Jupiter on the 18th.
and at last quarter and creates,
north declination on the Sth. The
mercury period adds its perturblng
power 10 earth, Mars and Jupiter,a all
al the annual magnetic and electrl-
cal crisis that is due from about the
Sth to the 18th OF September. About
the 9th look for rapid change to
warmer; winds Will drop back to
Southerly, cloudinesS Will ensue, and
between the eth and the 10th, de-
cided storms of thunder, wind an,.
rain will touch at most parts of the
country as they move across the
States to the Atlantic.
\ reactionary storm period runs
its course from the 18th to the 18th.
Under stress of the mercury. earth
Mars and Jupiter periods, with the
moon in apogee on the 18th, on the
celestial equator on the 9Th, and a,
its new on the 10th. We must ma
turally expect strong and startling
events during and about this period.
y dangerous elimination of storms
and perhaps earthquakes, will center
on and touching the 18th and 18th.
y regular storm period is central
on the 10Th, extending over the 18th
20 the 2lSt. This regular Vulcan
period lies at the crisis of both the
mercury and the earth equinoXes.
The Mars and Jupiter periods are
constantly increasing in their inten
Sity, and the moon passes conJunc-
tion with earth and sun on the 16tn.
This is another period that calls for
special warning and Watchfulness.
Dangerous eQuinoctial storms are
not only possible, but quite probable,
between the 18th and 21St. We
call special attention TO the fact that
storms and weather generally at this
period Will indicate the character o,
storms and weather which may be
expected to prevail from this time

storms take on warm and tropical
phase, and are followed by warm and
summer like weather, expect the
same character of storms and wealth
er to dominate the autumn, say up
the middle Npvpmhar Shn11ld
storms be of the boreal, autumn
kind, between the 18th and 2lst, fol.
lowed by crisp, chilly winds and
weather, it may be put down as al
most certainty that what we call
IAN early fall will ensue
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the oath, 25th and 26th. This
period lies near the center of earth's
equinox on the 21st, and the Mars
equinox on the Goth. me 1ndIca-
tons are that storm disturbances
will be greatly intensified at this
time, with every probability tina,
they will be prolonged into the Tegu-
/ lar storm period which is central on
the goth, coincident with the central
day of the Mars equinoctial period
| The conditions are much the same
at the close, as at the beginning of
September. The moon is in perigee
and on the celestial equator on the
18th, and full on the 30th. Low ant.
falling barometer, with other storm
warnings will appear about the 24th
to the 26th, and these conditions, Il
is most probable, will break into flu
riouS, equinoctial storms, from about
the 2Sth up to about October 3rd
