THE STORM.

observer Barwick Thinks There is q
prospect of Its Cessation To-Day.
The Weather Bureaus reports show the
raln1aii Tor the present storm up to p. N.
yesterday to have been LA inches, MAX
ing rs inches for this month, and S.O2
for the season, as against 7.40 inches to an
equal date last year. The rainfall last
February, beginning with the Dist and
ending on the last day Of the month. the
28th, was 3.83 inches, distributed as fol-
lows: On the Dist, 20 OF an inch; 22d,
1.04 inches; sd, 1.26 inches; oath, SO ofan
inch; 25th, nothing; 26th, .04 OF an inch;
9th, Is of an inch, and on the 18th "a of
an inch, making, as above, 3.S3 inches for
the eight days and total OF $50 inches
for the month.
1t will, therefore, be seen that the re-
mainder Of this month viii have to be
quite stormy to keep the present season
abreast of the one of last year. The pres
ent season is now 90 of an inch ahead of
last season up to the present date.
The rainfall at Red Bluff for the present
storm, up to P. NJ. yesterday, was l.5S
inches, as against LA inches during the
same storm IN this city, and rain is still
threatening.
The harometrical conditions are about
the same over the greater portion Of the

ana variable winds have been reported
but as soon as change in the hight of
the barometer between nearby stations
occurs, then brisk to high winds will be
IN order. The wind yesterday in this
city ranged from eight to fifteen miles per
hour.
The highest and lowest temperatures
yesterday were 90 and $50, with fresh
southerly winds and rainy weather. The
WIND at P. NJ. had a tendency to veer to
the south and southwest from the south
east, and II 1t does so then there will be
but very little prospects of continual
ton of the unsettled weather. The clouds
are still moving from the southeast, and
will continue to Weep AZ. long as they
come from that point of the compass.
but the meteorological signs as observed
IN ten years residence warrant the
statement that when the lower currents
of air sweeping close to the earth surface
changes from southeast to south with a
tendency toward the southwest quad
rant OF the compass, then it will only be
short time before the clouds follow the
wind. When they do so and their mo-
tlon is from the southwest, then clearing
ana cooler weather, with bright sunshine.
may be looked for.
At p. NJ last evening the winds direc-
ton had tendency to back from south
TO southeast, the rain quarter, instead of
'OCIthS llOiii SOuIl 10 SOuIDW west, the
clearing quarter. The wind was increas-
ing somewhat in velocity, and blowing
from twelve to sixteen miles per hour.
The barometer was steady at %. S65
inches at P. NJ, while at A. NJ. it was
1855 inches. The lowest barometer last
evening was between Eureka, Cal, and
Roseburg, Or, and no doubt the center of
this cyclonic area is passing to the east
northeast between Red Bluff and Rose
burg.
Altogether the outlook is good for a ces-
satlon of the storm in the next 4S hours.

The Mind-Reader Falls From the Car

Professor Tyndall, the mind-reader, at

day, but it ended in disaster.
AT the advertised time a committee.
consisting of Police Captain Lee, Dr.
Hughson, Ed Roeder, Abe Wilson, AL
bert Elkus and Z. j. DevIin, was selected,
and all but DR.. Hughson drove off in a
carriage and hid a lead-pencil in a drawer
in the County Clerks Office. DIR. Hugh
son remained with the Professor and
Kept him blindfolded until the committee
returned.
Then the Professor rushed blindfolded
and bareheaded from the hotel mounted
the drivers box of the carriage with
committeeman Wilson and after Selling

ing him to keep his right hand on his
forehead, seized the reins with
his own right hand and started

turned into Eighth street. He was
greatly agitated by this time, and de-
manded another subject" Mr.. Elkus
took Wilson'S place beside the mind
reader, and the wild ride was resumed
up E4ghth street. Just as the vehicle
was turned into street and was heading
for the Courthouse, TyndalI suddenly fell
from his seat in a cateleptic tit. He had
narrow escape from death beneath the
carriage. The horses were stopped and
the Professor was placed in the carriage
and driven back to the hotel
Tyndall recovered after a time and said
he was ready to try the test over again.
He did not do SO, however, but later in
the day went to the County Jail and made
another effort to talk with some of the
alleged Allen murderers. Their attor-
neys objected, though, and the matter
had to be given up.

This handsome church is now com
pleted to the upper room and ready for
public worship. The English Lutherans
have shown great zeal in the work, and
tomorrow will be happy day for them
They will worship in their new church,
home for the first time. 1t is only al lit
tie time since they organized as church,
and now they are to enter this beautiful
building to carry on their work at bet
ter advantage than they have ever en-
joyed. They will worship in the lower
rooms, which are very handsome and
comfortable, until they feel sufficiently
able to complete the auditorium.
The building presents a finished ap-
pearance and is attractive, calling forth
favorable comments from all that have
seen it. The architecture is different
from anything else in the city, and gives
the structure unique appearance. 1t is
a handsome addition to the residence por-
ton of the city in which it is located.
The generous-hearted citizens who have
made this work possible may, with con-
siderable satisfaction, look upon the re-
suit of their gifts. This is building up
our city in the best way possible.

Gus they were in supporting the
rules reported by the committee

House, or rather few more than
half of them, spent several hours
in caucus Saturday night, in order
to give themselves chance to say
things that they did not care to
say in open session, but at itsl slclose
they were little better off than
they we're before. True majority
of the caucus voted an endorse
ment of the rules but those so vot-
ing number less than half of the
democratic strength in the House.
The rules are in many respects
unsatisfactory, as was demonstrat-

The Engineers Eyesight.

Its is question were strategy
ends and cheating begins in world
lv affairs, but that need not him
der the enjoyment of the following
amusing story.
An engineer on leading Eng
lish railway WAS growing old and
frequently reports were made to
the directors that his eyesight
was not as good as it should be.
This the old man denied, but
nevertheless, there is every
reason to believe that his eyes
we're gstting a trlfe dim. How
ever, he stoutly maintained that
his eyes were not only strong but
phenomenally strong, and that
these criticisms were made by
jealous fellow w-engineers.
The test for eyesight on that
line was made by doctor who
lived in house facing a large
common. When he wished to test
the mans eyes he used to say:
"Look over there and see what
you can see"
This fact had got known to the
employees of the railway. and
when the old engineer was going
to be examined he arranged with
his son that he should take a
bicycle about half mile across
the common, and stoop down and
oil it.
In due time the engineer was
led to the window, and the doctor
said, as usual:
"What can you see?'
The old man peered out and
said:
"Well, 1 see young man stoop-
ing down beside a bicyle."
"Do you?' replied the doctor. 81
cannot see anything at all.
"Gammon!" said the engineer.
Cant you see it? Why, he's oil,
ing it.
On this the doctor took up
a pair of held-glasses on the table,
and, looking out, Saw quite plainly
a young man STOPPING down oiling
his bicycle.
Magnificent sight he said
"magniicent!'
I And to this day the engineer is
taking his wages with striking
regularity.
