Some Weather Comments.

The parched earth has been blessed with a copious precipitation, and terra firma has been cooled and moistened with decended aqua, the result being a disappearance of the pulverized Inorganic surface of the globe and an occasional pool of H s O. In other words it rained, real, honest, sure enough rain. The local weather bnreau record keeper reports that the precipitation amounted to 1.3 Inches, which at ordinary times would be a very big shower, but as the earth was so very dry and needed so much rain, it did not look very much of a rain. An accompanying condition to the rain was a big fall In the temperature, which got almost down to the freezing point, being 38 degrees above zero. We have had some real hot September weather, as will be sean by tbe following extract from the records kept by ProlJ. Klosterman: Temp. Temp. Max. Min.
