The signal service is no good. What is
the use of a signal service that not only
can't predict storms, but can't even give
the faintest indication of thunder storms
Those fellows know perfectly we'll we're
not accustomed to this salyo from "na-
lures artillery" How the reporters de-
light in this simile for the use of which
no good opportunity has been offered in
California for twenty-five years. One of
the few grievances newspapers have had
here is that they could not write about
natures artillery. But such n sudden and
unexpected development of climate
should not be permitted without its Civ
ing some kind of indication beforehand
He is one of our most prominent citizens
He has not been accustomed to thunder
and lightning, and consequently when the
shock awoke him carly on Friday morn
ing the first clear recollection he had was
that he Lad been indulging freely at the
club, and being in California the whisky
must have got in the drum of his ear and
be rolling around promiscuously.
1T may be thunder" he said to him
self. aid better wake my wife. But no,
1t may not be thunder and-well, guess
I'll let it 60"
SO he said nothing. His wife heard
nothing, and he got down town to the
club before it was necessary to make and
allusion to the phenomenon. He nosed
around the club, but apparently the sub
iect had been talked out, for nobody said
anything.
THAT'S funny" he was saying, "it
must have been the effects Of when n
new conner slapped him on the back.
''Well, that was something new, wasn't
