Public Installation. The annual Installation or the officers or Capt. Geo.

These orders have removed tholr headquarters from Haslet Hall, where they temporar ily Bojourned, to the new ball fitted up In the second story or the Killmer building, under the Buporvision of the W. R. C. The new quarters are, it is hardly necos essary to Bay, very convenient, appro priately arranged, and more centrally located thanks to the energy and good taste of the patriotio women of which that order is composed. The officers vere installed by Past Commander Leon ard Agnew, who performed his duties as installing officer in a creditable manner, every step being "as regular as elocK wmk" The following is the roster of the officers Installed for the year: Com mander, Chas.

' A small cyclone was observed by sev eral of our citizens on Tuesday morning about 8 o'clock, coming up the Allogbeny river. The path or this cyclone was ob served to be up the east Bide of the river and across by the base of the high hill back of the Lawrence farm, along near Jacob Smearbaugh's, going thence across the creek, where it struck the high creek hill, which it is supposed broke its force and dissolved it. The cause of cvclones. or whirls, of this kind have never beon satisfactorily ex iilained. only In some cases, as at sea, Meldrum, a British authority, says: "Cy clones, or whirls, are most frequent in years when there are large spots on tjje sun."They pick up, as it were, the waters from rivers or lakes in their course, the whole mass moving forward but weak ening and growing more feeble as it pro oeeds, until finally they dissolve and are extinguished, their force beiug spent, The most reasonable cause is that of Sir Isaac Newton, who says that he believes "they are a consequence of rapid change of temperature coupled with humidity, The fierce rays of the sun falling on the land in particular pent up situations causes the heated air to rapidly ascend cold air rushing in to take its place, which causes a rotation of the same, There motion may be compared to that of a top." Like all other phenomena of nature they differ greatly in degree and extent, from the small one which cairies ud leaves and lluht substances, to the whirling, raging terror that sweeps oyer land and sea. This was a small one comparatively. C.A.Randall claims it looked to him like a column of lire. The Stnearbaugh family distinctly witnessed It at close range. It left no marks of de vastation iu its path. A fierce cyclone was witnessed at Tionesta some years ago, which Is woll remembered by many or our citizens, the path of which moved from west to east, which picked up a large column or water out or the river and which moved across the town taking the Iron roof off the Lawrence House barn, rolling up some portions like a scroll and carrying a large part ol It a dis tance of five miles and strewing parts of the same along its path, over the tops of the high bills.
