June to Be Month Of Storms, Says Hicks.

Prophet Hicks, in his forecast for June, says that this month of flowers and weddings will also be a period of storms and disaster. A reactionary storm period extends over the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. The barometer will rise and cooler, westerly winds will follow the storms from two to three days—say about the sth to the Bth. The first June seismic period covers the Ist to the 7th, having its center on the 4th.

A regular storm period involves the 6th to the 12th. This period is coincident with the annual magnetic and electrical crisis, which is at its center each year on and about June 11th. Its peculiar influence is noticeable from about the sth to the 15th, notably on the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th. Heavy storms of wind, rain and thunder will touch many sections in their eastward sweep over the country on and touching the 10th, 11th and 12th.

Much of the sheet lightning and the flashing from cloud banks around the horizon during June evenings, is harmless, although it may be very brilliant and startling. Such displays of electricity are usually without thunder and rarely, if even send lightning bolts. When they are in concentrated ' June thunder storms they are always intensely charged with vicious lightning bolts, and when they are in the near vicinity, the greatest care should be exercised against danger.
