Notwithstanding the fact that Santa Claus is just around the cor ner, and that most people are dusting oil their New Year's reso lutions for use in the near future, the Weather Man has switched oil' the chilling blasts and turned on Summer heat. Yesterday, the 11 tli day of December, 1911, people went about the streets in their shirt sleevs, stoie doors were left open, and furnace fires were allowed to take a vacation. Ladies in shirt waists and skirts, Summer fashion, were to be seen on the street, and one lady went a step further and used a parasol to shade her from Old Sol's rays. And all of this two weeks before Christmas.— To waiula Review. All good things must come to an end and that is just what happened to that balmy weather, and this, the 13th day of December, 1911, the weather man has again turned on those chilling breezes. Perhaps the old boy ran a little shy of cold | air and had to order a supply from Sears Roebuck and Co., which would account for at least three days of warm weather. Court Proceedings. True B-11.
