Hicks for September.

Weat her guesser, Rev. Irl R. Hicks, says in his September number of World and Works that the month maycome in as August goes out—in a storm period. He does not affirm that the storm will come but says they may do so, there being sufficient reasons to believe they will. It is his belief that if barometric depressions do not appear in the Gulf regions September first, the weather over the interior will remain warm and dry up to the time for the regular equinoctial storms. About the time of the moon’s last quarter reactionary storms will appear and new storm ardas will be observed advancing from the equator. There will be the usual perturbing influences felt at the time of the equinox, Sept. 22nd, when atmospheric condition undergo the changes called “weather breeding” and are apt to result in a storm. There will be possible storms of a violent nature from the 9th to 13th and tidal waves along the Gulf coast will be high the 12th to 13th. The interior of the continent will likely be visited by rain and wind storms, storms assuming proportions of gales at this time. The reactionary storm period from the 16th to 17th will raise the thermometer and bring warmer weather, but no great disturbances are looked for as the equinoctial storms due the 22nd, the danger period being from the 21st to 24tn, but the West India storms are more likely to become violent from the 26th to 30th. At the close of the storm period if frost and signs of winter visit the northern portions those who follow his predictions will
