Everything •a* muggy and sticky, and after the shower at J o'clock the motature could fairly be seen steaming up from the asphalt on Broad street. While the thermometer of Observer Fisher did not scar to the height of some days, the exresa of humidity made life very uncomfortable. More of the same kind is In store. Chief Willis L. Moore, of the weath er bureau at Washington, takes a pes simistic view of the weather prospects for the Immediate future. He says: "The present heat will remain with u* for four or five days or a week. We are in for another hot spell, which will not break before next Sunday. If then. Aa to the remote cauee of the extreme heat, meteorologists know nothing. Aa to apparent eause l will say that dur ing ordinary weather rendition* storm eddies rotate across the country in pe riods of about three days each. "There are two kinds of storm ed dies, one raises the air up from the surface of the earth In a cyclone whirl; the other by vertical action draws the air downward from above the clouds. Therefore the mixing of the upper and lower air strata hy rotation across our country of these storm eddies scatters and dispels the thin-heated stratum In which we live and remain comfortably cool, but for some unaccountable roa bou there seems to come periods of al most stagnation in the drift of these eddies. Remembering that atmosphere Is mainly heated from bottom upw.-.rd, It will readily be seen why a cessation of the drift of the storm eddies permit a stow accumulation, day by day, of heat, in the thin superheated stratum in which we live.” niJSIC IN THE AIR. Summerville Given an Early Morning Serenade. It has been a long time since Sum merville heard a brass hand. It has been still longer since her citizens were roused from their slumbers in the wee sma' hours by this species of music. But they waked up this morning. The Tenth regiment is moving to Its new camp at Murray Hill and the band passed over ihe Sand Hills and far away just as the eitlzens of that su burb were indulging in their beauty sleep. The first thing that summoned then to consciousness was “A Hot Time in the Ohl Town,” and the bass, the drum and the tuba, the cornet and the snare drum seemed to be competing with one another in the effort to live up to the name of the tune. The na tional airs were interspersed here and there and the entire village had an op portunity to thrill a few thrills of pa triotic emotion before it turned over and went to sleep again. p«s* *a* an* I *•# # i aaabb bamtPb t ♦ «f * •§* * a- * . * . a- »t #»♦ #• #**§* tußftaa ic#k HD 9 AtICCS BA ML •««. ** siabi 4*9* ft# ft -94 a *wm pßft Ml 4b 4wtp 10 Ha>- m fimn pat* a «*if at fa '•*** a If tb* #MM are PsißlipeM HbRF *H!I i ee* i Ib* M*t***9aikNll *4 A sis*flf aa Mkfs%***e be** M** b*4i gi sfiiiibi Cat kiabMa.. ibbiblßfi Cba tatfC w—td a# «•*•# b# fbadMWNl to Sa A ns* flea* ftaaAat#.
