But for the :lune solstice and New Moon at solar eclipse node. storm producing causes are at a mini- mum at this period. I3nt many scat- tering. highly electrical thunder storms will visit. most ports on and touching the 17th. The culmination of n prolonged seismic strain will come within three to four days of noon on the 171Ii. During this seis- mic strain the Moon works from Full Moon nt extreme declination south, over the celestial equator and up to New Moon at extreme declination north. As intirnnted above. these seismic perturbations. we predict, will be heaviest first in the southern hemisphere.
