Earth's equinox is in force, the Mercury disturbance ex- tends up to the 5th and the moon is on the celestial equator and in perigee on the lst. On and touching Friday the lstino reader need be surprised to see or hear a crisis in the elements -rain, wind and thunder, with equinoctial tempests in the south coast regions very probable. The disturbances at this time will, in all probability, be prolonged in cloudy. threatening, and possibly stormy weather, up to and through the 3rd, 4th and 5th. These are reactionary storm days, and they will bring a return of disturbed and stormy conditions, even if high barom- eter arid fair weather should immedi- ately precede them. Change to rising barometer, westerly winds and clear- ing, cooler weather will touch most parts about the 5th to 7th. Destk of 1Mrs. Triebrer.
