 The average temperature this month thus far is about one degree below the normal, and about one degree above this years July average, which was far below the normal. There have been very few un comfortably hot days during the month. The highest temperature this year before this month was in June, when 962 de- grees was reached. In fact, in many ways the year has been a remarkable one. The present cool weather is likely to last for some time yet, no hot weather being in sight. It may be somewhat warmer in a few days, but not uncomfortably so. To day the weather all over the country is about the same as in this city.
