clicks' ForecastS for December.
A Regular Storm Period is central
on Christmas day, This ,period is also
near the centre of the winter solstice
and at the centre of the Mercury per
iod. On the 2'Tth the Earth passes be-
tween the giant planet, Jupiter,and
the Sun. This is an important fact to
remember, in all. estimating on: storm
and weather for at least ten days' be-
fore and after the 27th. This opposi-
tion of Jupiter will be felt in rapid and
intense variations in barometric pres-
sure. It will help. to bring on and in-
tensify abnormally in magnetic and
electrical' potentialities, not only in
Our atmosphere, but through the in
terior of the solid globe. Hence, seise
mic and volcanic action are, liable to
reach ageneral Maximum. Prom about
the 24th to 27th look for the lowest
fall of the barometer in December.
Violent rain and snow storms will
gather rapidly in western parts, and
move eastward with widening areas
and much enrgy. This is a period hi
which many parts of the country will
be visited by' destructive sleet, This is
also a period. in which a furious bliz-
zard is apt to sweep out of the north.
west and down through the central
parts of the country. Canada and the

The last of the three bazaars was
that given by the Epworth League of
the Main street church on Friday eve-
ning, in the Town Hall, and it certain-
ly was not the least from the view
point of success. The night was rath-
er unpleasant but a large number of
people attended and they were delight-
ed with the array of useful and orna-
mental articles for sale, as with the
musical program and the pleasant soc-
ial time they were able to spend with
their friends. Most of the articles
were sold at a good price, and the
amount realized thus and from the ad-
mission fee was about $75. It will go
toward the purchasing of a piano.
On Thursday evening of lastweek a
reunion of the Ebenezer old boys' was
held at the home of Mr. Will. Frayne
of the 2nd of Usborne. The evening
was spent in games, speeches from the
brotherhood; step and clog dancing,
reels, Highland fling and plantation
songs, after which oysters were served
on an extensive scale by Mr. Statham
of Exeter. Needless to say they were
stowed away in a masterly style and
all enjoyed themselves. Then followed
instrumental selections on the "Gue
Gall" and one could hear the echo in
the distance. When the party broke
up one and all were most profuse in
their thanks for the splendid entertain-
ment provided by their -host and ex-
pressed the wish that when next they
met at his most commodious house
that they would have the pleasure of
extending to him there congratula-
tions. To this he was silent but he
had a twinkle in his eye, which un-
doubtedly meant a good deal. —COM.
