Cyclone Notes.

Most of the wearing apparel from
the wrecked houses at Rochester,
war carried clear out OF the county
and scarcely even a rag of it has
been found. In one case a blanket
from one house, a daguerreotpe from
third, at least a quarter of a mile
away, were found tangled together
in a closely wrapped mass in a dis
tant field.
Many laughable stories are told at
the expense Of some of Rochester's
citizens. One, a harness maker by
trade, has always had a strong de-
sire to see veritable cyclone.
When his family retired to the eel
lar he grasped a tree in bis front
yard and hung on, at first with
pleased curiosity, which soon
changed to grim desperation. He
was swung round and round and
thrashed about, until, when the
wind had Passed, he was thoroughly
exhausted, and declared himself
thoroughly satisfied for a lifetime.
Had he lived in the centre Of the
cyclone track, his curiosity would
inevitably have cost him his life. A
lusty German lad in lower town
secuted the idea that the wind could
move him, but after, as he expressed
it the wind had played football
with him for few minutes he
changed his mind and was for a few
days an inmate of the hospital
bruised from head to foot.
Portions Of clothing and valuable
papers belonging to Rochester par
ties were found in the track Of the
cyclone in Wisconsin, over seventy
miles from Rochester.
Many Of those who had their res
licences swept off by the cyclone in
Rochester,, were unable to tell
where their houses stood and their
premises were located.
Men who saw the Cole -four mill
struck by the cyclone wave said
that when it left the building it re-
sembled cloud of fine gnnpowder.

ter hospital seemed to be most Sc.

Rochester people talk Of organic
ing building and loan association
as means Of rebuilding the dis
