MARCHTOBEROIGH Hick’s Prediction for Present . i Month is Full of Storms and Blizzards. SOME COLD RAINS Severe Winds, and Taken All Together Will be Genuine Winter Month. — ; Rev. Irl R. Hicks, the weather prog- | nosticator, of St. Louis, who predicted I February would be a month of storms ! and zero weather, and who cannot be | accused of having lied by any fair- • minded and truthful person, about win- | try conditions in general, March is to be a tough month, of snows, cold rains, low temperature and wintrj conditions in general, people will li.= ’ ten to him with more respect tl.ai j they did before he made that February guess. Speaking of March, Hicks says: "A regular storm period will follow and run in its regular course from the 3rd to the 7th inclusive. The full moon falls on the 3rd, with the rente; of the mercury period on the 2nd. T: Mars influence wil lextend to a the early part of March. Hence look for very low barometer, followed b; heavy snows, on tiie 4th, sth, 6th am! 7th —first the west, shifting regular! to eastward with possible lightninand thunder and rain first, followed west by general and damaging sleet, and possibly snow blockades. A cold wave will follow blizzardous storms from the northwest. “A reactionary storm period is cer. tral on the 10th and 11th. involving the 9th and 12th. March 11th, each year, is the central day of a four t six day period, in which the earth passes a maximum crisis of electric and magnetic unrest. Electrical storms, streams of solar magnetism auroral lights and seismic tremors arc all quite common and natural at this annual crisis. Rain, turning to sleet and snow, will return in force ox and touching the 10th and 11th. “A regular storm period covers the 14th to 19th, having its center on th 16th. The baoometer wilt begin fal ing in the west and about the 14th, with cloudy and threatening condition. By the 15th and 16th these conditions will bring rain areas, moving eastward, and on the 17th, 18th and 19th, a marked low barometer will pass the central Mississippi valley, attended by decided storms of rain and wind, possibly tornadoes and hurricanes southward. Snow, rising barometer and change to much colder, will push the western flanks of these storms, leaving cold, fair weather over most parts for several days following storm. “A reactionary storm period falls on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th. Should the baromelet fall to vfery low read ings, especially in the south, coasts and gulf regions at this period, with high temperature and humid atmosphere, tornadic storms, or West India hurricanes should be apprehended. Rain, turning to snow, will visit many interior parts, followed from the northwest by rising barometer, cold waves and gales from the northwest. “A regular storm period is central on the 28th. practically covering the last week in March. This does not mean that it will be storming everywhere all the time. Low barometer, cloudiness and storms of rain, turning to snow, will start in the west early in the period, and will move eastward in successive days, proceeded by fall ing barometer, fair and warmer wcath er followed from the westward by rising barometer, colder and clearer weather all within the limits of, and days immediately following the storm period. Equinoctial storms are due at any stuim period during this month, and one or more such storms may be reckoned as a certainty.’’ AS GENERAL AGENT.
