Puget Sound Beats the World for Balmy
Weather.

II believe more perfect day than this
never was seen in any country" was the
remark yesterday of tourist on the
Flyers dock. The extreme heat in the

pie have died from the sitting air and
mon to mention. finds a contrast in the
has not experienced it that is almost in
credible. The hot weather Of New York
city has added to it's victims some ten or
twelve persons, and in Philadelphia. Chi
cago and other Eastern cities deaths from
the extreme heat have been fully as large
proportionally.
Here on Puget sound such reports do
not receive much notice except to con-
trast the pleasant weather with that of
the less favored parts of the country. The
maximum temperature of Monday was IS
only and of Sunday. which they say with
the exception of May IL. when the tenn
perature marked 81 degrees. was the hot
est day this year. the maximum was 81
degrees The rains Of ten days ago have
served to settle the dust and wash the
smoke from the atmosphere. and since
that time the days have been quite cool
and bright I think one can truly say
that Puget sound never has excessive
heat
weather statistics show that no eX-
trenes either of heat or cold are expert
enced here. The days are cool and balmy
and the nights are cool enough for light
overcoat or a wrap during the most OF
fbe summer.
