Hicks Promises Storms for The Balance of Month.

Hicks, the weather prophet, promises Che following weather for the balance of July: ; A regular storm period covers the 6th to the 10th, with probability of being prolonged over the full moon of the 11th. The Venus influence is still dbminant at this period, which fact may reasonably excite 'hopes of rain over many sections of the grain growing regions. We believe that a very serious lack of general rains will be upon very wide sections of the great agricultural regions to the northwest, west and south, from the middle of July until late in September. Those who figure and plan to mature crops at the earliest part of the summer, wili we predict and advise, come out winners. A possible reaction to fair and cooler may come on and touching the 10th and 11th. A reactionary storm period centers on the 12th, 13th and 14th, with possibility of threatening conditions holding over from the preceding storm period. Falling barometer, increase of temperature, with cloudiness and moderate rains will be due Wednesday, the 12th, to Friday, the 14th, all followed by change to fair and cooler weather, up to the 16th. A seismic period is central on the 11 th, affecting the 4th to the 11th. A regular storm period begins on the 16th, and extends to the 23rd. We prolong this period to the new moon on the 25th for the reason that storm periods are often drawn forward in their culmination by pending new moon dates. A probable storm crisis will fall on the 19th, 20th and 21st. causing rain, wind and thunder, leaving high temperature and threatening conditions to continue over the 23rd. A reactionary stoi%i period falls on the 24th, 25th and 26th. Expect excessive warmth at this time, with low barometer and fierce thunder gusts. Squalls and local downpours will visi: localities, but far-reaching, general rains are not indicated. Mercury cloudiness and moderate drizzle may touch most parts for several days, ieluding much of the Mercury period A seismic period of positive character extends from the 22nd to 28th, central on the 25th. A regular storm period is in progress as July goes out It is central on the 30th, at the crisis ot the mercury period, with the moon on the celestial equator.
