July Weather.

Prophet Hicks has framed up the weather for the balance of the month after this fashion. “The central storm period for July falls from the 13th to 18th. The crisis of this period will fall from Sunday the 14th, to Wednesday the 18th. Barometric and atmospheric conditions will plainly indicate when storms are gathering west of your locality, and just as positively will the same things indicate when the storm centers have gone east of your locality, although the path of actual storms may not have passed over your immediate section. There is great probability of extreme heat and hot, withering winds, especially in the open grain regions of the west and northwest. Thunder gusts are probable the 19th of July. Reactionary disturbances are due on the 21st and 22nd. More or less rain, with probable cloudbursts, hail and dangerous winds need not surprise anv one during the storm period which is central on the 26th. One of the warmest terms of the summer mav be expected in coni nection with this period and many storm clouds with severe thunder gusts will be natural about Thursday, the 25th, to Sunday 28th. Destructive hail storms are more than probable at this period. The great heat probable at this time will break up at the conclusion of the storms, and very cool nights for thp season will follow in most parts of the country.
