The cold spell, long expected by hopeful residents of this city, lias this city In Its grip today, with a temperature of C9 de gress. This, according to tho Weather Bureau ofllcluls, Is an exceptionally low temperature for August 27, In fact tho lowest since 1310. when the thermometer registered 67 degrees. Just how long this October weather will continue none of the prophets will say, although they admit that thcro Is rea sonable certainty that the thermometer will not register much higher for the next day or two. They point out that this August has already to Its credit a number of rocord-breaklng cold days, nnd that the temperaturo todny Is but S de grees nbove the lowest ever recorded on August 27 In this city, namely. In 18S5. It is sold that, with these facts In view, It would not bo unreasonable to suppose that the remainder of tho month and tho early part of September would be days on which tho vest or even light overcoat might bo worn without discomfort. No rain Is expected today or tonight, despite the threatening sky, but the of ficial weather wizards are of the opin ion thnt there will be showers tomor row, which will bring the already heavy precipitation of this month to n figure which will probably shatter previous rec ords for rainfall In this city.
