Ela SEisaok Wind,

The Chinook wind, so called by the
Indians because it came 10 item from
the direction Of the country of the
Chinooks. This is a balmy wind,
coming from the kuro Siwo, or great
japanese current of the Pacific ocean.
In summerit is cold wind and tenn
pers the heat of summer so that no.
where in Washington Territory do peo-
pie fall down with sunstrokes In
winter it Is a warm, moist wind, and
is sometimes slightly oderiferious, as if
spice laden from the tropics. 1t is so
gentle upon ordinary occasions that
its presence could not be noted bv its
motion, and it is almost miraculous in
effect. Snow and ice disappear with
rapidity before it, and it seems to be
able to blow from long distances be-
tween walls of colder air without part
ing with its heat. Sometimes it con-
stltutes an upper current, in which
case the remarkable spectacle is wit
messed Of the snow melting upon the
mountain tops while thermometers in
the valleys register below the freezing
point. At other times it is the surface
current, and follows the valleys and
gorges as a food might follow them.
1t seems to bear healing upon its
wings, like Sandalphon, the angel of
prayer, and it is not difio, 1t to con-
ceive that the Indians would wish to
personify it, in order to fix upon it
their devotions
This wind often penetrates as far as
the upper stretches of the Missouri,
and even tempers the air on the plains
of Dakota beyond the Rocky Mount
aims. Wherever it goes the chains of
winter are loosed, and the Ice bound
rivers are free. The Chinook is the
natural enemy of the odious east wind
