The occupations of the "Sons OF Rest

the next few days if Weather Prophet
Hammon's predictions come true and the
adage is lived up to of 'More rain, more
rest"
81 can safely say said the prophet yes

morrow and perhaps longer. Just how
long this will last would not attempt to
say, but you can rest assured it will rain
tomorrow"
For the twenty-four hours ending at
o'clock last night there had been .63 of an
inch of rain dropped on the gauge on the
Mills building. While portion of the
water was ing down the wind worked
itself into a speed of thirty-six miles per
hour. Out at Point Reyes the "gentle
zephyrs" waited the spray around at the
rate OF forty-eight miles per hour. During

coasters to work under bare poles.
Since this last storm began there has
been 3.41 inches of rain in San Francisco.

Sacramento had two inches during the
same time.
Monday night the river at Red Bluff was
seventeen feet above high-water mark.
Yesterday morning it had risen to twenty
one feet and at noon yesterday was rising
rapidly, with showing of twenty-five and
a half feet above the line. According to
Mr.. Harmon, there has been sufficient
precipitation to warrant the statement that
there will be twenty-six feet above high
water at Sacramento tonight.

water coming down the old car track and
running into small hole beneath one of
the stringers.
Water washed out hole in the crossing
at O'Farrell and Deyisadero streets and
another one at the crossing of Twenty-sixth
and Valencia streets.
Just whether the rush of water was suf-
ficiently strong to carry off any of the
heavy plates oyer the manholes is ques-
ton for the Superintendent of Streets to
determine, but the city has lost two of the
plates-one from Twenty sixth and Valen-
cia and the other from Minna and Second
streets. 1t is not supposed that any of the
"Sons of Rest have taken them for watch
charms.
