NOVEMBER WEATHER.
Hicks Says There Will he Five Storm
Periods During the Month.
A reactionary storm period is cen
trail on the LIST, End and Bird. On the
lance from the earth, or in apogee.
Neptune and sun are at quadrature
on the End with Mercury in aphelion
on the same day. On the 3rd the
moon is new, with a conjunction of
Venus and moon falling on the
same day. AS the storm charts in
dea tS the Gny and dstrrDanee outside
iods up to the end OF the month will
be the great Jupiter in conjunction,
of course, with the various places
and phases of the moon, etc. AS we
enter this month, November, we may
expect low barometer with change
to warmer, and storms of rain will
start their transit across the cont
ability is that these storms will turn
to snow and sleet to the westward
and north with rising barometer,
and change to much colder Weather
which conditions Invariably follow
a low barometer, and storms of wind
and rain, 1t is possible that the
pecting to follow these storms will
spread over many sections of the,
country, causing frosts far into the
south. 1t is reasonable for us to
expect, that, if low barometer in
southern states prevails during these
periods, with a corresponding high
barometer in northern and western
states, we may have extreme cold
weather far into the south and east
following these storms
A regular storm period is central
on the It'll, extending from the 9Th to
the 10th. The moon travelling
southwark reaches it's extreme de-
clination in that direction on the 9Th,
the 7th, with moon at first quarter
on the 18th. AS we have mentioned
before, the Jupiter influence is the
only other factor concerned in the
weather at this time besides the reg
ular storm cycle period which runs
from the 9Th to the 10th. AS early
as the 9Th or 9Th, it is reasonable to
temperature in western sections or
renewed storms of rain turning to
snow will pass across the continent
from west to east. These storms
will be at a eliminating point or
crisis in the great central valley on
and about the sth or 9th, being, OF
in western and eastern sections re-
spectively. Regardless of what sec,
tions get the "'brunt" of storms, all
sections are visited by the same con-
ditions, that is, first, warmer, low
barometer; second, storms of rain
turning to snow and wind; third.
rising barometer, colder, clearing
continent at the Atlantic coast:
A reactionary storm period is cen
trail on the 18th, 18th and 18th.
The moon is at first quarter on the
18th and crosses the celestial equa,,
tor on the 18th. AS we have said
with regard to the preceding periods,
tionary, cycles blending with the
Jupiter influence throughout almost
the entire month. AS early as the
18th or 18th, low areas will form in
western sections of the. country and
develop into storms of rain. wind
and probably thunder storms on the

that day Immediately following
the storm, a rising barometer, winds
shifting suddenly to the west and
north and change to much colder.
The fact that the moon is on the
equator on the 18th will greatly tend
to increase the temperature and
electrical manifestations at this
time.
/ A regular storm period is central
on the 1Sth, extending from the 10th
to the 21st. On the 18th, Uranus
and sun will be at quadrature with
moon in nerigee or closest to the
earth on the same day. The moon is
full on the 18th, and coming north,
reaches it's greatest declin mat ,ot on
Saturn will be at quadrature with
I the sun, while on the 21st, Jupiter
! and moon will be in conjunction.
This period will begin promptly N
the 18th with rising temperature,
] falling barometer and threatening
clouds in western sections of the
country. The elements which go, to
very rapidly and noticeably in west,
lern sections. These conditions will
then take up their march eastwarily
across the continent by the 18th or
18th, and by the 18th, goth and 2lst
they will pass the great central val.
Ileys and off into the Atlantic. If
during the presence of the storms a
very low barometer is noticed, watch
for high and dangerous gales about
the Atlantic and great lakes regions,
causing much danger to those who
are engaged in shipping and similar
work about these quarters of our
continent. You who are about the
watch the indications and storm
signals at this time. After these
storms pass eastwardly across the
!continent, look for a renewed high
pressure, clearing skeis and much
country behind these storms LASTING
probably up to the 22nd or 23rd.
The careful study of barometric
readings during this season of the
wear. and from now on, ought to be
of much benefit to those who are ex-
posed to the elements of nature. At
