On last Thursday evening, July 25, after an illness of several weeks, the spirit of Ella, daughter of Alfred and Susan Hosterman, of near Centre Hill, took its flight to the land beyond. It is a death deeply regretted by all her relatives and the] larg# circle of her ac- quaintances. Ella was a model young lady in all her ways, and a Christian in thought and action—these were her characteristics from childhood, and re- ceived cultivation under the eyes of a fond christian father and mother. In her early years she became a member of the Centre Hall Lutheran church, and to the last moment, when her soul took its flight from earth to join the happy throng in Heaven, Ella was true to her vows. Now she is happier than anything could afford her here below, Her funeral took place on Monday forenoon ; interment in the cemetery of this place. A large concourse of rel- ativas and friends followed the remains to their last resting place, The mem- bers of the choir, and other loving hands, paid their last tribute of respect by floral wreaths to crown her casket. Rev. J. M. Rearick officiated at the services, assisted by Rev. Eisenberg. The deceased, we are informed, was to have been wedded in a few weeks. nme Fatal Accident Near Milesburg.

This dis- turbance will be of unusual force, and severe storms may be expected, accom- panied by extreme temperatures. The first ten days of August will probably average cooler than the middle third of the month, Warm wave will eross the west of Rockies country about the 3rd, great central valleys the 5th, and eastern states the 7th. Cool wave will cross the west of Rockies country about the 6th, great central valleys the 8th and eastern states the 10th. Summing up my forecasts for the four crop months, March, April, May and June, only one error occurs. Southwestern Texas had more rainfall than calculated. For all other parts of the country the verification of my rainfall forecasts is the most remarka- ble event ever recorded in connection with meteorology.

This examination must be taken before the opening of the college in September, and failure to comply excludes permanently. The indignation of the students, whose parents and guardiens have been notified in such a way as to make them believe that the individual and not the class is involved, is such that unless peace is patched up there may be no junior class at the State College next year. The trouble originated last winter when the sophomore class was accused of having cribbed examinations in his- tory. This charge was denied at the time, and the question was supposed settled then.
