Hicks' Sep°eider Forecasts
From the 1st to ih s 4th falls the col -
taloa teen of a regular Vulcan period.
Warm weather gox'oraily will triose
likely prevail at the opening of the
month, with tailing barometer, grow -
drip.; humidity, and other storm indica-
tions r1>:ending eastward from west
and southwest. Orr Cud touching Um
Sind to 4.th no one :.hould be surprised
by eueigelie storms of eain, wind and
thunder. Thl thane's are that frosts
wail recur northward about the 4th
to 7th. The elements• will react into
storm conditions of more or lees
energy: progressing from west to east
about the 7th to Oth. "The centre of
the Mer is period falls on the llth, and
on and (:bout this date, it must bet re-
meinbcred. our g1t>he reaches a crisis
ler maximum of ntagn•etic and electric
excitation, as a rule causing many
'curious phenomena, in earth and air. 1
The regular etorin poricd central on
the 13th will almost certainly bring
on a slate, of stormy and unsettled
weather that will continue in a gen-
•cera.i ,very into the reactionary storm
;days centering about the 17th and
18th. One of rhe ''anger ytcriods' for
Sepie ieber. especially in localities ex-
pose1 to equinoctial storms, will be
about Lilo 17th, 18th and 19th. The
Iasi. rngtlar storm period for eptem- 1
ber is ctotraI on the 24th extending
over the 22nd to 27th. .Another series
of very c'ccidcd equirootial etorms is
both paseiblo and probable at this
time. The mental closes in n. reun-
tionary ,torm disturbance, excited by t
the; pass: ge of the moon over the equa-
tor on (.lee 30th. Oa that date. and
into Ocirber 1st. autumnal thunder
