Slicks' Forecasts for March.
A Reactionary Storm Period falls
centrally on the 9th, 10th and llth.
This second storm period the present
month culminates on the llth, and
marked perturbations in the earth and
atmosphere will show themselves on
and about this date. Earth currents,
auroral lights, especially far to the
northward, and vicious electrical
storms in the south are among the
things naturally to be expected.
March blizzards in the northwest. cov-
ering the northern side of the country
and into Canada and eastward to the
Atlantic are probable.
