The work on the erection of the Centie County Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument and Cartin Memorial hae =o far progressed that the committee in charge expect iis completion in time for dedication during the month of October. That time is now but a little over two months away and the people of Centre county, independent of the monument committee,should be think- ing about the day of its unveiling. That day should bz made a momentous event in the history of the town and county. No other town in the entire State and pe:- haps no other place in the United States is honored with a monament emblematic of so much as the one with which Bellefonte will he honored. A monument erected not only in honor of the soldier heroes of the county but of the greatest war governor this countiy has ever produced. Such being the case there should be no hold- ing back from making the cccasion of its unveiling one of not only local hut of State prominence, as well. To do this will require no small fund of money ; and to secure such a fund it is none too early to begin an organized effort in this direction at once. Two months isnot along time in which to raise by sabsorip- tion an amount of money necessary to de- fray the'expenses incident to such an un- veiling as should characterize the Centre county monument;and those who are in a position to start the movement should hi no time in doing ro. ’ A WEEK’S NEWS CONDENSED.

Storm conditions, in the form of falling barometer, increasing humidity and warmth, with growing cloudiness, will appear as early as the 4th. Storms and thunder gusts will follow in western sec- tions, and during the fifth to about the 7th these disturbances will pass over the country in their eastward sweep. Rising barometer will suceeed these storms, bring- ing change to cooler from about the 7th to 10th. The second storm period is central on the 11th and 12th. The indications are for only moderate barometric and other changes at this time. Threatening clouds with thander gusts may show ‘themselves over scattering localities, but generally the weather will remain warm and dry. Un- settled and possible threatening conditions will increase on touching the 14th. The third storm period is central on the 18th, reaching normal from the 15th to the 20h. It is quite probable thas this period will open with barometer very low and storms will be forming in western regions as early as the 14th to 15th. Daur- ing the 16th to 19th very general and forcible storms will pass eastwardly across the country. A decidedly high barometer and change to cooler will follow the wess- ern flank of these storms. T'he fourth storm period is central on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th. Low barometer and vicious electrical storms will be very nas- ural during the first stages of his period, but the sudden change to high barometer and much cooler will press the western side of the storm area. There is danger thas these sudden revulsions so cooler lage. in Auguet will be followed by Trost in northern extremes. The fitsh storm period is central for 4 the 20th, 0overing the 27th to the 31st. As early as the 27th and 28th barometric warnings of gathering storms will he noted in'many Equi- | nootial, or West - India storms and harris canes ‘will alinoss certainly develop at this parts of thie and other connfries. time and reach the gulf and Atlantic ‘coast regions the lass days of August. | The orisis of this period will nos. be over forsy- eight hours from 6 o'clock p. m. on the: 30th. A very menacing baronietric condi: sion will lead up to the 30th, the tempera- ture will be excessively high over most sections, and many storms of rain and thauder and bail, attended by violent, tornadic gales, will pass over wide areas of the interior parts of the country. The storms of this period will continue into the opening days of September. A pronounced rise of the barometer will come from the northwest at the breakup of this period, pushing violent gales down over the great lakes, and bringing such extreme change to cooler as to give frosty nighss in northern to central parts of she coun- try. i . ww 4 A committee | i TTR Erm Ee. ‘— Dentist J.
