-MAY WEATHER NO
FINE AURORAL DIPLAY
ON NIGHT OF THE 29TH
By H. P. Parker, Meteorologist U. S.
Weather Bureau, Airport, Bellefonte,
Pa.
The weather of May was nearly
normal with respect to temperature
and precipitation, possibly one to
two degrees below normal in temper-
- ature and 10 per cent less than nor-
mal precipitation,
The mean maximum temperature
was 70.9, the minimum 42.5 and the
monthly mean temperature 56.7 de-
.8rees. The highest temperature was
87 degrees on the 26th and the low-
-eSt 28 degrees on the 23rd, an abso-
Jute range of 59 degrees for the,
month. The greatest daily range in
‘ temperature was 47 degrees on the
24th and the least 9 degrees on the
11th, There were 4 days with tem-
perature below freezing, and 10 days
with a maximum temperature of 80
+ degrees or more. The 26th, with a
mean temperature of 70 degrees,
was the warmest day, and the 11th,
with a mean temperature of 44 de-
grees, was the coldest. The mean
daily range in temperature was 28.4
degrees, and the mean change from
day to day was 6.5 degrees.
The total precipitation for the
month was 3.58 inches, with 1.04
inches in 24 hours on the 10th and
11th. There were 12 days with 001
inch or more of precipitation. The
greatest daily amount was 0.83 inch
on the 10th. On 13 days there was
no precipitation of any kind. From
the 5th to the i4th inclusive, there
was rain every day, a total of 2.73
inches during ten days, more
than three-fourths of the total for
the month. Thunderstorms occurred
on the 1st, 6th, 8th, 14th, 16th and
27th. There was no snow, sleet or
hail. Dense fog occurred on the 15th,
light fog on 10 days, and light haze
on 12 days, The mean relative hu-
midity at 8 a. m. was 72 per cent,
at noon 51 per cent, at 8 p. m. 62
per cent, and the monthly mean was
87 per cent, The monthly mean
cloudiness was about 53 per cent of
the possible.
Light frost occurred on the 18th,
24th and 30th, and hea
- the 3rd, 19th, and 23rd.
places the frost on the
of the 19th and 23rd, were killing
to tender vegetation,
spread damage has been reported.
There were 11 clear days, 9 partly
cloudy and 11 cloudy. The prevail-
ing wind was from the west and no
velocity exceeded 32 miles per hour.
A good auroral display was ob-
served from about 9 p. m. of the
29th until 3:30 a. m. of the 30th.
The greatest brilliance was noted
about 15 minutes before midnight
and continued until 15
more after midnight,
northern half of the
frost on
exposed
sky was aglow,
with an apparent apex of radiation
about 10 degrees south of the zenith.
Faint rose and pale green tints were
noted, but most of the display was
white, charged areas closely resem-
bling high cirrus clouds of lenticular
- shape. The charges seemed to ema- '
nate from the apex near the zenith
in regular, intermittent pulsations
at about one second intervals; as
‘ many as three or four being seen
concurrently ina single beam, travel-
‘ dng rapidly toward the north. Less
- frequently similar phenomena were
. ed passing upward from the
northern horizon. Meanwhile there
was a dark mauve to inky bank in
the north to 8 or 10 degrees eleva-
! tion, resembling a mighty mountain
i range.
‘Compared with four years record
at the Airport, the mean tempera-
ture of the past month was one-
half degree below the mean for May,
Faut compared with 10 years record
“in Bellefonte,—1901 to 1910 inclu-
sive,—it is more than 5 degrees low- |
* er. The record at the Airport, how-
' ever, is too short for establishing a
normal and that obtained in Belle-
fonte is probably three degrees too
high.
The highest temperature recorded
In May atthe Airport was 94 on the
30th in 1929 and the lowest was 23 de- |
‘grees on the 1st in 1931. No records
«of high or low temperatures are
‘available for Bellefonte or Center
Hall, but the highest of record for
May at State College is 93 degrees |
in 1895. Other temperatures of 90
degrees or above are as follows: 92
degrees in 1889, 1919 and 1929: 91
«degrees in 1911 and 1930, and 90
« degrees in 1896. The record for 1928
is missing, We may therefore ex-
pect a temperature of 90 degrees or
on the average, about one
year in six.
The mean monthly precipitation
for May in Bellefonte is 3.46 inches;
at Western penitentiary, 4.26 inches
or, combined, 3.77 inches; at Flem- |
ing it is 3.92 inches and at State
College it is 4,13 inches.
All
precipitation in May occurred as fol-
Aows: In Bellefonte, 1.13 inches in
T1983; at Western penitentiary, 1.69
{inches in 1920; at Fleming, 1.44
"inches 1866, and at State College,
0.92 inch in 1902, 0.96 inch in 1926.
1.01 inches in 1928, 1.24 inches in
3.
I seldom occurs in this local-
ity during May, but records show
‘that there was one inch at Center
Hall in 1925 and a trace in 1912,
At State College one-half inch of
snow fell during May, 1923 an
traces in 1902, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1915
and 1925. No records of hail or sleet
are available except those made at
the Airport since Sept. 1, 1928. Hail
occurred on the 25th in 1930, and on
the 10th in 1931. No sleet has occur-
red at the Airport during May of
“the last four years.

Mr. Gable said that the Federa-
tion and its local clubs not only will
seek to attract motorists from other
States, but will make special effort
to interest the Jecple of their com-
munity in tra through this Com-
monwealth. “From all parts of the
State come reports that motor travel
this season will be as heavy as in
previous years,” he explained. “Toll
bridges and ferries along main
motor routes report traffic steadily
increasing, with indications that
this year's volume of business will
be as great, if not greater, than
ever. Travel bureaus of the various
motor clubs are being kept busy
handling calls for maps, routings and
other information regarding trips.
In fact there is every reason to be-
lieve that motor travel will be as
heavy this year as ever before, “The
A. A. A. motor clubs of Pennsylva-
nia will do all they can in this “See
Pennsylvania” campaign. Every city
and town, every civic body and in-
dividual can aid in this statewide
effort to exploit the attractions of
the Keystone State. Every poasible
effort will be made to bring motor-
ists from other States into Penn-
sylvania to see what we have to of-
fer, and at the same time we want
to impress upon the people of this
State that they need not go outside |G,
its borders to find scenic wonders,
historic shrines, fine roads and count-
less other attractions. “See Pennsyl-
vania!” should be made a watchword
in every community.”

DOG'S “ELECTRIC CHAIR”
Hiley Milk, Sandusky County dog
warden, has devised an ‘“electric
chair” for dogs in which stray pets
may be put to death with less pain
than shooting or chloroforming.
Miik's device consists of a metal
plate which provides one electrode,
The other is a metal collar which
is placed around the dog's neck. A
current of 1,100 volts is then sent
through the dog's body. Death is
practically instantaneous.
