permanent.
A stiff Northwestern visited the city yester.
day afternoon about O'Clock, accompanied
by an electrical disturbance and driving
rain. The blow lasted only about ten min
utes. The wind attained velocity Of
forty two miles an hour, but fortunately
no serious damage was done, and no fatal
titles were reported.
A few shade trees were blown down,
limbs were wrenched of in many instances,
and loose stating on some of the roofs in the
business quarter was blown OFF and went
scurrying through the sky with old news
papers gathered up with cyclonic reach to
keep them company.
The large plate-glass window in the door
Of Tax Collector McGowan's Office was
blown out on the President street sidewalk
and was smashed into thousand pieces
Pedestrians got their eyes full Of sand be-
fore they could get TO cover. 1t was fierce
blow while it lasted The heat was intense
before the blow.
Signal Observer Whitney says that dur
ing the hight OF the storm the wind reached
it's extreme velocity of forty-two miles per
hour from the northwest and blew at times
in gusts of still higher velocity. The tenn
perature stood at go before the beginning
OF the storm and fell 14s in less than enty
minutes.
The storm was purely local, as no rain
at any cotton region station in the Sa-
vannah district. with the exception of a
trace" at Jesup, was reported.
A peculiar phenomenonswaso observed by
Observer Whitney from the roof of the
signal office while the storm was in pro-
gress. Light discharges Of electricity fol-
lowing each other in quick succession were
observed by him passing from the
low hanging clouds to the light
ming Conductors on the build
ing and to the network Of telephone
wires which surrounds IL. These discharges
were unattended by thunder or any noise
other thaa a peculiar craokIifg, such as
would be produced by striking parlor
match.
The maximum temperature yesterday
was $50. This was only So warmer than at
Atlanta, ThOmasville and Bainbridge.
Millen was the hottest place in Georgia, the
mercury mounting to 1922 Eastman came
next with go, jesup with 90, and Augusta
with "a, which latter was the maximum at
Charleston, s. G.
The local forecast Of the signal Office for
to-day is showers, stationary temperature
The signal bureaus local forecasts are
more accurate now than they have ever
been. The forecast for "rafn and cooler''
by Observer Whitney, Monday night, was
verified yesterday to the letter. The fore
cast was a difficult one TO make, but its
justification proves the care and accuracy
with which it was made.

THE VACATION BILL.
The Postoff1oe Clerks Favor the Eight
Hour Law.


Hour Law.
The clerks in the postoflce here are
deeply interested in the fate Of the Ketch-
am bill, giving first and second-class post
Office clerks eight hours for a days work
and giving them fifteen days vacation an
nually, such as the mail carriers are
granted. The entire press of New York is
urging the passage Of the bill as a simple
matter Of justice to the clerks They are
required to work all the way from ten to
fifteen hours and often on Sunday.
The postof1ice clerks have petitioned
to Congress to be put on the same
plane with carriersin the large cities. The
fact that all other government employees
are required to work only eight hours a
day is pressed as a reason why the post
Office clerks should have fair play, and that
the government should not require more OF
them than of the employees in the ocher
branches OF the government service.
p. A. O. Malley Of New York, secretary
Of the national association Of postofflce
clerks, writes members in this city, urging
that a strong petition be forwarded to con-
gress, urging the passage of the vacation
bill. A petition OF this character would
only have 70 be circulated to be largely
signed, as the people appear to be in hearty
sympathy with the movement

When there is an overcharge made for a
carload Of lumber now the rate set by the
railroad commission for estimating the
proper weight is 5000 pounds per ]. 600 feet
OF lumber. This is much too high, they say,
because 1000 feet of green lumber
and dry lumber will weigh
very much less. The general opinion was
that 1t was most satisfactory for the ship
pers to weigh their lumber before shipping
and specify the weight in the invoice. II
was decided that each member of the asso-
citation should, on his return home.
secure the exact weight OF each
variety OF timber cut at his mill, make aft.
davit to the weight. and forward it to the
committee on transportation, which will
lay the aff1davits before the railroad COM
mission. Mr.. Amorous stated that he
had been requested by Maj. Wallace
chairman Of the railroad commission,
TO take this method of securing the actual
weight Of lumber. The railroad commission
Is preparing to change its estimate of
weights Tor lumber, and the affidavits of
the lumbermen as to the weights
OF the different qualities of
lumber viii have great weight. The COM
Inlttee was empowered to employ an attor-
ney to appear before the railroad commits
sion IN behalf Of the lumbermen on the
question OF changing the estimate OF
adopted.
