HICKS FORECAST
FOR MONTH OF JULY
Regular Storm Periods Are TIC
Characterize This Months
Weather
UNUSUAL CONDITION.

With that deep study of barometric
conditions that characterize his prog
nostications, Hicks forecast for July
is as follows:
A regular storm period is control on
the Srd, extending from the LIST TO the
9Th. This regular period is covered by
the expiring Venus period with the
Moon in perigee on the Both of June,
and changes from the full and reaches
last quarter on the 1st Snappy
southwesterly winds, falling baro-
| meter and a very noticeable rise in
temperature will surely make them
selves manifest in western sections by
the LIST or End. AS these conditions
move eastwardly from about the 3rd to
the 9th, each section in its turn will
be visited by the above mentioned
symptoms of storm conditions, intense
warmth, falling barometer, etc, de-
veloping into vicious storms of rain,
thunder and hail over many parts of
the country
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the Sth, 9th, 10th and 18th. On
and touching the above days look for
the barometer to make another de-
cided fall with rise in temperature
eliminating in storms of wind and
rain. A change to lower temperature
and rising barometer, however, will
visit most sections from about the 10th
to the 18th. only to be checked by the
pressure of the Moon on the equator
on the 18th which always increases
the temperature and storm conditions.
A regular storm period is central on
the 18th, extending from the 18th to
the 18th. The Moon is on the celestial
equator on the 18th and at apogee,
or at its greatest distance from the
Earth, on the 14th and changes from
new and reaches first quarter on the
10th. The eliminating days of this
period over all central parts of the
country will be on and touching the
18th, 10th and 18th. BY the 18th
there will be a noticeable rise in tenn
perature, accompanied by falling baro-
meter in western sections of the coun-
try. These low areas will form and
develop into active storms of wind
and rain.
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd. In
addition to the Jupiter influence COW
ering this reactionary period, we have
the central or equinoctial day of the
Mercury period falling on the 21st,
with full Moon or Moon in opposition
with Earth and Sun on the 23rd AS
early as the goth or 21st storm condi-
tons will be apparent in western sec
tions and storms of wind and rain
will visit most sections of the coun-
try as the low areas passes from west
to east.
A regular storm period is central on
the Goth, extending from the oath to
the 18th. A Mercury period is coinci-
dent with their period, having been
central on the 21st and extends
through the 29th, the last day of this
regular storm period. There will be
indications of brewing storms, rising
temperatures, falling barometer and
south winds and increasing humidity
in all extreme western sections of the
country as early as the oath or 25th.
These storms will reach, we might
say, a premature development, es-
pecially electrically, on and about the
26th, as the Moon will be on the
celestial equator and in perigee or
closest to the Earth on that date;
these facts alone will increase the
probability of general. and active
storms progressing from west to east
during the 9th, 2Sth and 29th. BY
the S0th and 31st storm areas will
disappear off the Atlantic coasts, with
rising barometer, cooler winds from
the northwest and clearing skies as
we pass from July into August
