Rev.'Hicks Predicts Winter Weather Coming Soon.

Rev. Irl R. Hicks is promising much weather for October and it is not all the kind that public crowds would like. Says Mr. Hicks: A regular storm period extends over the Ist to the 6th, having its center on the 3rd. Sections along the north side of the 1 country may possibly have a touch of very early sleet and snow, along with the high barometer that is sure to press close on the western flanks of these storms. Frosty nights, when the absence of mercurial clouds will permit, will be natural in northerly directions from about the sth to the Bth. A reactionary storm period is central on the 9th and 10th. Change to cooler returning about the 10th to the 12th. A regular storm period is central on the 14th, covering the 12th to the 17th. A reactionary storm period is central on the 19th, 20th and 21st. This period finds the moon at the greatest declination south on the 19th, which fact will help to incite disturbances of a boreal nature, that is, a tendency to cold rains, with atmospheric currents, flowing from northerly directions. On the west and northwest tangent or rain areas at this time it will not be surprising if spurts of early snow and sleet appear, and as precipitations and cloudiness move out of the way to the eastward, fair weather, frosty nights and low temperature generally will spread over the country for several days. A regular storm period is central on the 26th, extending from the 24th to the 29th. See if danger and disaster are not reported from the lakes between the 25th and 29th of October. Within sixty hours of noon on the 28th, preferably before, is another very decided seimic. period.
