flicks' Forecasts For Aagast
A ]regular Storm Period covers the
21th to the 27th, having new Moon on
the 29th. The Moon is also in apogee
on the 26th. One of two things must
naturally occur about Ibis period:
Either wide areas of low barometer
and dangerous equinoctial storms will
ap,tear in the south coast regions, or a
great crisis of summer heat and hurt-
ful drouth will prevail in most parts
of the central and northern states. If
egnatoriel storms dominate the south,
a result rather to he expected, great
atmospheric tides will flow from the
north, bringing very cool weather and
possible frosts to many sections north-
ward. This period will reach its cul-
minating crisis on or within two days
of the 29.h. Great seismic probabil-
ities lie within and next to the same
dates. The month goes out in the
midst of a reactionary period. Thun-
der storm• and gales will occur on the
3)th and 31st.

culties, but with patience and persev-
erance and hard work they were in

his family a comfortable home. The

public or municipal affairs, yet
throughout life he evinced an intelle-
gent interest in all questions affecting
