It requires the traditional luck
OF the herald to bring 1t opt in
it's last prediction that we siafi
have rain come time between
now and the 9Th of January, the
later date inclusive, which is the
boundary of our outgiving. While
We have staked our reputa ton as q
weather seer, on a q rain, we have
not gone further than that. One
swallow don't make q Summer,
neither does one rain make q wet
season. Confident as we are that
we shall come out of the weather
fiery furnace like Shadrach and
his tive companions, perfect, we
are nevertheless afraid that the
present is going 10 be what 10
known in Southern California as q
dry year. When the HERALD, In
the middle of September, an
nouncsd that it had retired from
the role Of weather prophet, 1t
meant simply that q dry season
was imminent and nothing more.

The literary and musical enter
tainment 1T santa Monica Thurs-
day night, for the purpose of raising
funds to purchase an organ for the
public schools, was in every re-
spsct a complete and gratifying
success. The inimitable Professor
Day, together with a number Of
Los Angeles ladies and gentlem ep,
contributed very materially towar
the enjoyment and success of the
occasion by their delightful vocal
and Instrumental music. The reci-
tations were good and, particularly
notices able, the recitation OF
"The Mau,ac." by Miss Carpenter.

and appliance existed for theiI
production.
