A Nebraska Zephyr’s Freak.

During a recent cyclone at Columbus, Neb., a girl who was cooking at a hotel heard a noise at the door, and, looking out, was caught by the whirling wind and carried over the house. She was turned round and round as she went, and, after approaching the ground on the other side, she again rose and waa taken by the howling blast over the stores and dwellings a distance of three-fourths of a mile, being lowered so that her feet could touch the ground as many as eight times during the trip. Exhausted, but in an erect position, she was at last lowered to the earth as lightly as a feather would fall, having received no material injury, though almost frantic with fright.— Salt Lake News.
