Last Thursday afternoon, a young
tornado paid this locality short
visit and did considerable mis-
chief. Sheds and frames of new
buildings were scattered, and nu-
merous fine shade trees in various
parts of the city were blown down.
Several lumber piles were blown
over, and in one case about 5000
feet was sent into the river. The
ratings on the Fletcher House and
Opera House were damaged to
some extent-the damage to the
Opera House railing was soon re-
paired. Sergeant Barwick, of the
u. s. Signal Corps, reports that
the wind, as registered by the ane-
mometer, blew at the rate of sixty
miles per hour. The streets pre-
scented lively appearance during
the gale. Some hail and consider
able rain fell.
