We understand that which surrounds U.S.
The weather conditions, resulting from the
factors "high' and "low," we the better under

weeks. During the best portion of the week
commencing with Monday, June Goth, we were

cool and pleasant weather. By Saturday the
4th it became quite warm but no rain. High
