Parson Hicks' June Weather.

; • T" ~ , According to Rev. Irl Hicks, the St Louis weather prognosticator, the month of June will be filled with ail kinds of storm disturbances, including thunder, electrical storms and tornadoes. He starts'tbe month with a regular storm period covering the first six days. A low barometer and high temperature may be put down as foreshadowing severe storms at this time. Rising barometer and change to fair and much cooler weather will pass eastwards over the country from the 6th to the 9th. A reactionary storm period will bring decided storm conditions from the 9th to the 12th. At this period we enter into the June solstice disturbances. The full moon on the 11th falls at the central day of the annual magnetic and electrical crisis. Within three days of sunset on the 11th electrical storms will visit many wide extremes of the earth. A regular storm period extends from the 13th to the 17th, being at the crisis of the Mercury period and under full strain of the solstice and Venus periods. Daily thunderstorms with an excess of electricity, wind, rain, and hail, may be expected. Tornadoes may be looked for and our locality may be in their path. A change to very much Cooler will follow about the 16th to the 19th. From the 20th to the 22d will be great electrical. manifestations especially early evenings and through the nights. On or about the 26th will prove obe >s of the most decided periods of disturbances during this month and storms of violent craracter should be apprehended. All storms during the last half of June will be eratic in' character and will move in directions out of the ordinary, often doubling back over 1 their tracks after they have supposedly passed off to the east We **r. r e wil be too'much rain in June Tor best agricultural interests and dryness and droWth will occur throughout the rest of the summer.
