she displayed numerous evidences Of her
unsafe condition, and it is said travel
upon her would be attended with no
slight danger. It is to be regretted, as

Professor Robidou: You hurt my
reputation by saying that it rained
Monday. That wasn't rain. It didn't
even lay the dust. I have seen dews
heavier than that; in fact it was nothing

city saloon plan. 1 believe 1t would, for
in that case, the sale of drink could be
regulated and some income derived
from it. At any rate, I would like to
see the experiment made and the plan
tried. And in the same connection, an
anti-treat law should be passed. It is
seen, I think, that people will drink, and
no local prohibitory law will be en-

gether, so that they may exchange ideas,
and prepare and read papers on subjects
pertaining to meteorological affairs. It
is expected that Chief Harrington will
be there to open the meeting. Observer

organizations. Those who are interested

what arrangements can be made.
