Hicks Says Early Frosts.

Rev. Irl Hicks is out In his long range guess on September weather, however, he foresees the probabilities of frosts about the 15th. The first regular storm period is booked to be due from the 4th to /fhe-Bth, central on the 6th, attended by some decided storms. During Sunday, the 6th, and Tuesday, the Sth, and possibly over the 9th and 10th, there will .be decided storms in most parts of the country with cold, stubborn cloudiness and rain for many days progressing from southward to northward. On the 10th, 11th and 12th will occur another reactionary storm, attended by much cooler weather, breaking up about the 15th, with frost in many localities. - The second regular storm period extends from the 15th to the 19th. The character of these storms will be plainly indicated many hours before they appear by reading any reliable barometer. As this storm period falls near the center of the autumnal equlnoxlal, which falls on the 22nd, general and violent rain storms may reasonably be expected at this time. • > This spell will be followed by a reactionary storm from the 22nd to the 25th, attended by electrical disturbances. The last regular Storm period of the month begins on the 27th and extends over to October 2nd. As the month goes out low barometer and general storm conditions will be in transit from west to east. On and touching the 29th and 80th wide areas of cloudiness and rain will devleop, bringing a general spell of autumnal rain and wind.
