Notwithstanding her general COM
plant about warm weather, suffoca-
ton, &c, Philadelphia reports largely
about her great number Of June we'd
dings. In this connection she says ::
"With US weddings have continued
to give June its nuptial character, and
although many of them have been
quiet home affairs, they have interest
ed large circles of friends, so that hy-
meneally the season has been in no
way deficient. Indeed, this has been
one of the most matrimonial Junes on
record"
Now, considering the weather, we
call that encouraging.

The wagon loads of trunks recently
taken to the depot, and the throng of
bright looking young boys and girls
upon the pavements vending their
way homeward, means that a sense of
loneliness will be felt on Normal Hill
from now until next September, when
the school will reopen. 1t means
more than this to Bloomsbury, since
the Normal School has much to do
with her social and financial affairs.

To one not directly interested it
looked as though our coal operators
were less desirous of ending the strike
than the miners were. The miners
may resume, but the victory is as yet
by no means decisive. If the unprof-
liable effects of these strikes prove Of
value to both labor and capital for
the future, then it will be we'll other
wise all their time and money will
have been lost for nothing.

1t will occur to the average mind as
a little too hoggish, if it be true as re-
ported, that Governor Hogg called
one of his pretty daughters Ina and
the other IRA. His only son he also
threatened with Bea, but here the
loving mother of the children inter
posed objection, for fear, perhaps,
that the name would have a deleteri-
GUS and lasting effect upon the lad.

Weather Prophecy for July.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks, in his July num-
Der Of the World and Works gives
forecast of July weather. The month
will open with storm movements inten-
sifed by the equinox Of venus and the
new moon. The end and ,,rd will be
centers of the storm movements. Vio-
lent storms will probably appear from
the end to the 4th. These storms will
be attended by very warm wave
that will be followed by a cooler one.
A severe warm wave is due from the
9TH to the nth, and this wave will
culmipate in heavy electrical storms
with rain, hail and wind. Unless storms
appear about the Sth, 9th and 10th
the heat will continue until the I3th
or I4th. Seismic disturbances are
expected in many parts OF the globe.
Many storms, much cloudiness, local
cloudbursts and heavy downpours will
figure in the storm period from the
18th to aIst. Heavy hail storms may
come also in this storm period. Great
heat may be expected on the s5th
and 26th. Cooler weather will follow
this brief but hot wave. The last July
period runs from the a9th to August
5rd, and hot weather is promised at
this time. The greatest general heat
will be reached in the last days Of
July and the first week in August
WHAT FOSTER SAYS.
Foster, the ST. joseph, Mo, weather
prognosticator, says The warm wave
will cross the western mountains about
the 2oth, the great central valleys
about July and the eastern States
about July 3. The cool wave will
cross the western mountains about
July 2, the great central valleys about
the 4th and the eastern States about
the 9th.
HoMELY PROPHECY.
T AS to our own prognostication, we
figure it about as follows, in accord
ance with unscientihc tradition:
Since Mary crossed.the mountain on
the ed of July without getting her
skirts wet, we shall have six
weeks drought. If we can't guess as
straight as Hicks and Foster we will
quit the business.
