heat Of the past summer, and extend to

The entry Of the month is likely to
bring in winter abruptly in most sec

and experienced. The first week Of
the month will probably give the first
good SnOWtallS of the season in New
York. Canada, and westward, with
considerable blUsttr. while cold. stormy
and wet weather will bt experienced IN
southern localities. Snnwf4iiS will
again occur about the middle Of the
