HICKS HAS TO : TELL. -- Wind And Snow For Christmas-- During Month There Will Be Thunder, Lightning, Rain, ' Heavy Winds and Blizzards. St. Louis, Deo. S.--Rev. I; R ft rognostications, whic io publishe to the world monthly through "Word and Works," are just to hand, being ten days later than usual, As the first storm period will have elapsed before this reaches the eye of the reader, it is omitied nt this time. Extracts from his forecasts are appended : "On and touching the 10th and 11th will come a very noticeable reaction to warmer--another fall of the barometer will pass eastwardly across the coun try, merging ito more storms of winter rain, turning to general snow. passage of the moon over = the celéstinl equator on the 11th, ~biond- ing with the perturbations of winter solstice and moon's last quarter, will cause some winter thunder and light ning in sections southward, but the general disturbances will be boreal in character, bringing heavy snow and winter gales to many parts of the country. Many other parts of the globe on land and sea, will experience heavy winter storms, beginning at this period and extending well through the remainder of the month. The regular storm period, central on the 17th and extending from the 15th to the 20th, will bring a decided fall of the barometer, progressively from west to cast. The temperature will rise, winds will shift to southerly and easterly, and more storms of rain and snow will develop in eastern parts on and touching the 17th. Dur ing the 15th to 20th these storms will pass oversthe country to the Atlantic. Rains to the southward, turning to sleet and" snow morthward, may be expected, all followed from the north- west by high barometer, wintry gales, and a cold wave. It will be the part of wisdoa and common sense to an ticipate such things, and make pre- parations for them befcre they come upon you. "A reactionary storm period is cen tral on the 22nd and 23rd exactly at the crisis of the winter solstice. The prolonged tendency to storminess and precipitation, through all this part of the month, will break into well-defined storms of rain, wind and snow, on and about those dates. Another cold wave will follow this reactionary period, during which the mercury will fall very low, al the cold will penetrate quite far into the south. The whole of oo last: storm period in the month, which covers the last sixyor eight days, will feel the combined disturh- ing power of Vulcan, Mercury, Venus and winter solstice. In every prob. ability there will be general and so vere winter storms from the 26th to the end of the month. They will not appear all over the country at the same time. . They will organize ane ftart on their eastward sweep in the west and northwest, net far from the 26th, and during the 27th to 30th they will make. transit over most parts of the country to the Atlantic coast. There 1% danger of very severe winter storms of sleet and snow and blizzard; especially in the west and north, between the 26th and the 31st of December. They may not come, it is true, but the indications are ten to one that they will,' Blockade: of snow and destructive burdens of sleet, all winding up with a full grown cold wave, are the things to be feared and provided against the last week of the year." -------- Bronchitic Asthma A Heavy Bur- , den, Asthma is bad enough, but when bronchial symptoms are added the poor sufferer has almost an intoler- able existence. An absolute specific is found in frdgrant healing Catarrho zone, which cure chronic cases that other remedies won't even relieve: *" For years," writes Capt.

Protest Entered Against Nominee Oi Board Of Works. Kingston, Dec. 9.--(To the Editor) : As a property halder of hiagston. | cannot allow to pass unnoticed the at- tempt of the board of works to put isto a position of responsibility, a political favorite, without respect to is qualifications for the office. It is a wilful procedure whi h the ratepay- er of this city ought to resent to the uttermost: Would the members of the board of works if conducting their own personal business act in this inexcusable manner ? If they did they would not. 'be Jooked upon as possess. ing that sense of seli-interest which should characterize every honest busi- ness man. And 1 maintain that the eldermen should and are expected to exercise that same discretion in regard to city matters gs they would give to their personal affairs. P- Just let ug take.a short retrospec- tive view of this situation. The nomi- nee of the board of works is a strong, healthy, able-bodied man. He is said to be a clever mason, plasterer, ot: As such, working at his trade, he can command not less than 83 al day, which allowing him eight months of labor, would nett him $700, with four months' Holidays in the vear. Why then, should he prefer to be a member of the fire department, away from home almest the whole time, for about #450 or $300 a year, a sacrifice of the comforts of home life and over $200- a vear in cash ? Why this unanimity on the part of the committee ? I noticed hy press re ports of the last meeting of the com- mittee that members unhesitatingly ad- mitted going to the meeting with the fixed determination of voting for the man they afterwards nominated for the position. Bear in- mind, they did not know and did not care who other applicants might e, or how much better fitted they were for the position. The man in question is without personal influence, but he has friends with a "strong | pull" and these simply "plugged" the members of the committee and secured pledges for their political henchman. I have no hesitation in saying it was in- tended to make the appointment a po- litical one," every act of the commit- tee bears this out. It did not require his signing himsel a "blue-blooded' conservative in answering the questions set on the paper prepared by the city engineer to bring this out. Complaint | would not be made if the selection of y the committee was the applicant best qualified for the position. Despite the fact that the city engineer informed the committee that he was not the best qualified applicant and they knowing in their inmost conscience that this was true, they attenmpted to thrust . this man into the position. How they will reconcile their act with the oath they took the day they were installed in office is a matter for their conscience to deal with, The intention of the framers of the by-law which relegated to- the city engineer: power to nominate for ap- pointment all those serving in his d partment was to overcome exactly just | such a problem as now confronts the aldermen, The by-law may be right or it may not be, but as .I view the situation from my standpoint I con sider it a strong and reasdnable one' MR.

Napanee, Dec. 10.--A much respect- ed resident of Adolphustown, died yes- terday in the person of Marshall Dav- is, aged lilty-seven years. Deceased had only been ill a short time of catarrh. Deceased was a son of the late Archibald Davis, Adolphustown. Live brothers and one sister surwive, They are: A. R. Davis, Winnipeg; Sid- ney and Wallace W. in Manitoba; T.

His wife, a daughter of the late Norman Scott," survives him. The deceased was a kind neighbor a loving and in- dulgent father and husband, whose death will be mourned by a very large circle of friends. The funeral takes place on Saturday to the family plot at Adolphustown. James Fmberson an old and well- known resident of Napanee, lies very ill at his home, and his death is hourly expected.
