I
THE PRESIDENT'S PBOCtASIAXION.
According to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the president,
at this season to appoint a day of festi
val and thanksgiving to God.
Over a century and a quarter has
passed since this country took its place
among the natious of the earth, and
during that time we have bad on the
whole, more to be thankful for than
has 'alien to the lot of any other peo
ple. Generation after generation has
grown to manhood and passed away.
Each has had to bear its peculiar bur
dens, each to face its special crisis,
and each has krown years of grim
trial, when the country was menaced
by malice, domestic or foreign envy
when the hand of the Lord was heavy
upon it in drought or flood or pesti
lence when, in bodily distress or an
guish of soul, it paid the penalty of
folly ana forward heart. Nevertheless
decade by decade, we have struggled
onward and upward we now abundant
ly enjoy material well-being, and un
der the fayor of the Most High, we are
striving earnestly to achieve moral
and spiritual uplifting. The yoar that
has juBt closed has been one of peace
a"hd, overflowing plenty. Rarely has
any people enjoyed greater prosperity
than we are now enjoying, For this
we render heartfelt and solemn thanks
to the Giver of Good and we seek to
praise Him not by words only, but by
deeds, by the way in which we do our
duty to ourselves and our fellow men.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose
velt, president of the United States, do
hereby designate as a day of general
thanksgiving, Thursday, the twenty
seventh of the coming November, and
do recommend that throughout the
land the people cease from their ordi
nary occupations, and in their several
houses and places of worship, render
thanks unto Almighty God for the
manifold blessings of the past year.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my band and caused the $eal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
29th day of October, in the year of our
Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and
Two, and of the Independence of the
United States the One Hundred and
Twenty-Seventh.
By the President:
THKODORE ROOSEVELT.

Secretary of State.
MICKS ON NOVEMBER.
The first storm movements for
this month will be central on the 3rd
and 4th. On and touching these
days a rise in temperature, falling
barometer, cloudiness and rain will
pass eastwardly from western ex
tremes to the Atlantic. The western
and northern sides of this and all
storm areas at this season, will most
likely turn to snow, and as the high
barometer pushes in from the north
west behind the storms, high, cold
winds and freezing, clear weath
er will succeed. Remember that, as
a rule, the cold, clearing weather be
gins in the northwest before the
storm areas reach central and eastern
extremes of the country. Actual
storms of rain and snow, as well as
the warm, fair weather before, and
the cold, fair weather behind them
always pass, like great railroad
trains, from west to east across the
states. ..
The secdnd storm period for No
vember will be central on the 9th ex
tending from the 7th to the 12th.
This is a regular Vulcan period, with
moon at first quarter on the 7th, and
on
the celestial equator on the nth.

The anti storm conditions follow
ing the preceeding period will break
down about the 15th and 16th
which are reactionary storm days.
The moon is full on the 15th and at
her perigee on the 16th, also at her
highest point northward in the sky
on the 17th. Therefore on and
touching the 15th and 16th low ba
rometer, rising temperature and
wide areas of the renewed rain, turn
ing to snow generally to northward,
will pass eastwardly from the tar
west over the country. Be on "the
watch, first for warmer, pleasant
weather, then for cloudiness, and
rain, then for shift of temperature
and wind and snow, then for high
barometer, stiff northerly gales and
cold, clearing weather—not all at
once on your patch, but each in
regular rotation. One of the mark
ed storm periods of the month falls
in and near the center of a mercury
period. This Vulcan period covers
the 19th to 23rd. Be prepared at
this time for all the progressive phe
nomena of a very active storm pe
riod. Low barometer and warmer
weather will end in general rains,
rains will lead to snow .and sleet—
look for sleet—and snow and sleet
will be attended and followed by a

This period will come to its crisis
about the 22nd and 23rd.
On and touching the 26th and 27,
the cloudy, unsettled weather, re
sulting from the Mercury equinox,
will grow into decided autumnal
storms of rain, wind and snow. In
all northern sections look for a heavy
sleet. High northerly winds and
change to quite cold will follow these
storms. Let all outdoor work be in
good shape for winter storms and
weather belore this time. Frosts
and freezing will penetrate far into
the south, along with the high ba

the month goes out a storm period
will be in its first stages it will be
turning warmer in the west, with
falling barometer and othfer indica

period will culminate in the opening
