Noster’ . Weather Forecast.
My last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm wave to cross the continent
frora 19 to 23, and the next will reach
the Pacific coast about 24, cross the
west 01 Rockies country by close of 25,
great central valleys 26 to 28, eastern
states 29
Warm wave will cross the west of
Rockies country about 24, great eeptral
valleys 26, eastern states 28. Cool
wave will cross the west of Rockies
country about 27, great central valleys
29, eastern states July 1.
Temperature and rainfall of the week
ending 8a. m. July 3 will average
about normal.
The long hot wave predicted ia these
bulletins will end not far from June 20
with extensive rains and a great fall
in temperature, after which the weath-
er will be more agreeable till we reach
the healed term of July, complete fore-
casts of which will be given in bulle
tin of July 1.
The long-ago forecasts that this
would be a year of unusual, extreme
and remarkable wealher events is be-
ing verified by the actual weather of
each succeeding week. These ex-
tremes will be continued into the fall
and winter months with still greater
force, and before we get through with
these great magnetic disturbances it
will have been demonstrated that
planetary influences can produce un-
comfortable environments for man
and beast,
Has the Right to Pass,
A case was recently tried in New
York state as to the right of a person
driving on a public road to pass in
safety a vehicle ahead, and it was de-
cided by the court that the driver
abead not only must not obstruct the
highway by slow driving or otherwise,
‘but that he must make way where it
is practicable, for the man behind, and
that if an accident should result from
such interference, he the obstructor,
must pay all damages,

A Heavy Storm 5004
On Tuesday afternoon a very heavy
thunder storm passed over our valley,
which for the time became quite inter-
esting, although our immediate dis-
trict got in on only a small share of
the trouble, and thé south side of the
valley got more than its share. In
some places the hail was heavy, cover-
ing the ground with a white coat of
ice for several hours after the storm
had passed. The lightning was some-
thing awful. Much damage was done
to the growing corn and grain fields
by the hail. In the lower end of the
valley the telephone service was a suf-
ferer by the damage done to lines and
instruments.
The Commercial telephone lines are
being extended down through Penns
valley, and the linemen are now busily
wiring Spring Mills, and fitting up
the service. Farmers Mills will be
connected. The line to Millheim Jwill
hurried through at once, and from
there through to Woodward to con-
peet with the Home company of Un-
ion county. The service through
Penns and Brush valleys, having
about sixty instruments, will be hand-
led from the Centre Hall exchange.

Puddling of the Reservoir,
The puddling of the two sides of the
great reservoir is about completed, a
force of men with several teams hav-
ing been at work upon the job the past
fifteen days. We judge it is about as
well done as can be in that line of re-
pairs. The expense is several hundred
dollars, we are informed. It isiotend-
ed to to turn on the water at once for
filling thegreat basin and test its en-
during qualities to the utmost. A
couple of day’s flow, knowing ones as-
gert, will fill this reservoir, which
event is looked forward too with much
hopeful expectation by the citizens of
our town.
After the reservoir is filled, with a
supply to keep it filled, the citizen
will look for a fulfillment of the prom-
ise “that insurance rates would be re-
duced one-half’’ by which votes were
caught. Insurance agents have the
boldness to say, there will be no redue-
tion, full or dry reservoir.

Doa't “Mind the Heat."
To avoid heat prostration dress as
lightly as you can, eat sparingly, with
pleaty of fruit in your diet, keep out of
the sun as much as possible, don’t
overwork, and above all things don’t
worry or fret about anything. Though
you may not know it, one of the eas
fest and yet the surest ways of keeping
cool is to keep a cool and even spirit
with you. Vexation, anger, discon-
tent or worriment are not to be
thought of in such weather if you
don’t want to “mind the heat.”

All Wheels Must be Taxed,
President Dare, of the Dauphin coun-
ty side path commissioners, has been
making some investigations and has
found that a large number of the bicy-
cle dealers have not been nesessed for
tha wheels they keep on hand for live
ery purposes. These wheels bring
large amounts of money to the dealers
and are ridden daily. President Dare
has issued orders to the assessors to
make a list of all such wheels and the
collectors will be required to make the
collections along with the other taxes.

No Sunday 1 Train,
Bellefonte circles have been consid-

mass meeting held some time ago, res-
olutions wgre passed condemning the
move, Now the town will not have
the convenience. The train was to be
run from Lock Haven to Tyrone, and
when opposed, the movers have turn-
ed their attention to the Lewisburg &
Tyrone from Montandon to Bellefonte,
through Centre Hall, There is little
doubt but that the additional train
would be a great convenience, but
there is little hope of securing it. Bev.
eral years ago a Bunday train was
scheduled, the newspapers had insert.
ed it in the time table and then the
scheme was knocked on the head by a
petition from those who deemed it a
move against good morals and christi-
anity.

A Butter Cooler,
An exchange gives the following,
which, if true, is worth remembering:
Submerge a common ten-inch flower
pot in water an let it become saturated.
Fit a cork in the hole at the bottom of
the jar so as to exclude the air, and by
putting the vessel over a plate of but-
ter on the cellar bottom it will keep
the butter as nicely as an ice chest.
