this was found necessary, not only TO pre-
serve the wires, but TO prevent too sudden
shock TO the operator as he sends and re-
ceives them. The many friends of Sergt.
Lyons will be pleased to learn that he is as
well as could be expected under the circum-
stances, and that his good physical
constitution and experience in hard
ship promise eventually to pull
him through. 1t should also
be said in his behalf that he is in no wise
responsible for the offensive documents, and
will give bonds to that effect: also. that no
one can regret more deeply than himself the
unfortunate recurrence of the same. The
last bulletin from the signal Office was as
given below, Sergt. Lyon at once entering
on season of fasting Immediately on the
receipt of the chestnut, which he formulated
as follows:
The heat wave continues throughout the
Northwest, with almost stationary and equal
pressure at all points. Consequently, there
are no indications of a general atmospheric
commotion, so essential toward the breaking
up of the heated term We must endure the
heat for the present.
The signal officer said that the storms had
been scattering all through the day, and
from his meager reports, more or less dam
age had been done, though. as the storms
were local, the probability of wide damage
was small
