LIKE A DAKOTA PRAIRIE WERE STREETS ON TUESDA \ A terrific wind, blowing at a rate variously estimated from seventy-five to one thousand miles per hour, swept across the Junction of Marletuf, Peach tree and Decatur streets Tuesday morning with a velocity scarcely par alleled In the history of winds, with the possible exception of the one which blew In Pharaoh's time and brought the locusts Into Egypt, At t o'clock the wind was blowing with such violence at this particular point that pedestrians were compelled to hug the sides of the sky-scrapers, and progress was accomplished solely by making frantlo dashes from tele graph pole to telegraph pole. Hats un ceremoniously parted company with their owners and whirled majestically away over the tops of the highest buildings until they were lost to human vision In the hazy blue of the skies. One black hat of the average else de liberately scaled the walls of the fourth National Bank building, climb ed over the top and finally descended In front of the postofilce building on Marietta street. The wind Is said to have blown so hard for a few moments that the har ness "was blown off a carriage horse, while the Orady monument on Marietta street rocked In sympathy with the gale. This was not verified. Forecaster Marbury scoffs at tho Idea that the wind was blowing at the rate of over five hundred miles per hour und puts the figure down at thirty miles. In giving his figures the fore caster admitted that he did not crn«» the wind-swept Junction of Peachtree and Marietta atreeta while the gale was at Its worst.
