COLD WAVE COMING.

One Headed This Way. But It May
Not Arrive in Two or Three Days.
There is a probability of another cold
wave. The weather in the north and
northwest is extremely cold. The tempera-
ture at St Vincent yesterday was s. below
zero. The wave is passing eastward over
the great lakes. There is q low area pass
ing eastward also, but 1t is a considerable
distance south of the cold area.
Observer Whitney said yesterday that
the low area will pass very much more
rapidly than the cold wave, and there
is likelihood of the high area
swinging in behind the low area
and coming southeastsrly, affecting this
portion Of the state. 1t win not be felt
here, however, in two or three days II the
high area should follow the low area, the
cold wave, which will come down this way,
will be twensy-four hours developing. Not
before to-day will the observers be able to
note defiaitely just what caanges have
taksa place, and what is the likelihood Of
the wave coming south.
Hereafter the Savannah signal office will
be open to the public from $3.50 o'clock a.
m. 70 p. m. excapt on Sundays and legal
holidays.
Mr. Whitney explains the above order by
saying that while all other government
offices have Office hours the signal offices
have not heretofore had any fixed time, and
lit is to fix regular hours for the better &C
commodation Of the public that the order
has been issued.
