MANITowoC people were IN genuine
panic on Friday evening of last week
The wind suddenly shifted to the north
west and drove the smoke from the for
est fires toward the city. A black cloud
drifted southwark, which with the smoke
made darkness at P. NJ. so dense that
lamps had to be lighted. The sky SEEM
ed to be ablaze but whether it was the
reflected light of the forest fires, some
electrical phenomenon or the sun glisten-
ing above the pail of smoke, the Tighten
ed people did not know. The wind
sprang up suddenly and the air was
filled with flying paper. Dust and gray
ell were lifted by the winds and hurled
in the faces of the people. The winds
lifted the waters from the river and the
docks were drenched with spray. Many
of the alarmed people sought the lake
shore fearful of the visitation of cy.
clone.
The people who witnessed the appal-
ling sight say they never before witness
ed anything so grand or SO portentous
It lasted but half an hour and there was
general feeling of relief when the wind
subsidized and the vast cloud broke away
The shooting of flames through the all
was what caused most alarm and is the
one inexpiicable feature of the whole
thing.
