6 WEATHER ON ONE GRAND DEBAUCH I Elements Polluted by Excessive Atmosphere—All Same Third Rail Whisky Run Wild. i Certain citizens of Ali.mta nnnlmw been irrita led by 1 h«- fvt that the weather forecast divs n-.t pan more than one time in four. will in-i derstand now that this is not hccaus. of any error in the fori ■ ast. but be cause the Weather faits to conform I" the ; |iiornii«lii it ion.

Is caused b\ a plethora of at mospheric pressure Kxcesshc atmos pheric pressure has the same effe. t upon the weather is a quart of whisk) has upon the human form. Here's the Plain Truth. For Instance, as Professo, VonHerr mann explained Xtlanta has a normal atmospheric pressure of 29.9 inches Just now it has a pressure of 3fi 1 inches, and as even a tenth of an inch excess atmospheric pressure Is equiv alent to a barrel of booze, anybody can see why it is that the weather situa tion isn't a situation at all, but an orgy. That's why it's tn silly, as Directed VonHerrmann explained, for a fellow to call him up from the shelter of n s'nrner cigar store and ask him if he doesn't think he'd bettei change his fair weather sign to one that says at least somewhat cloudy, because it's been raining pitchforks for two boors. Director VonHerrmann explained that this-fellow-is <Hl>) for more Ilian one reaeon Because, in the first place, the weather bureau hangs out Its weather signs as prognostications for the day after “We don't get paid bi the govern ment." he said, "to predict the weather that's already happening Sortie hu morous persons say that we're getting paid for predicting the weather that is not going to happen, hut I'll pass that, be, ause, while the national weather bureau forbids us to ve'tfx our fore casts. I am pretty sure that we've been right nine times out of ten even Oils summer."

July 17.—A new public road has just been completed through Camden county, which short ens the distance between Jacksonville and Brunswick fifteen miles.
