How tide. Predlc, storms.

Fresh interest has recently been de-
veloped in the fact that West Indian
hurricanes, and other great storms at
sea, frequently produce remarkable
effect upon the tides along neighbOring
coasts When tempest is approaching,
or passing out on the ocean, the tides
are noticeably higher than usual as If
the water had been driven in vast
wave before the storm The influence
extends to a great distance from the
cyclonic storm center, SO that the pos
sibility exists of foretelling the APP
proach of a dangerous hurricane by
means of indications furnished by tide
cages situated far away from the place
then occupied by the whirling winds
The fact that the tidal wave outstrips
the advancing storm shows how ex-
tremely sensitive the surface of the sea
is to the changes of pressure brought
to bear upon it by the never-resting at
mosphere.

In Sicily, young men who are eligible

their demeanor toward young unmar-

talk to them alone, is, to use the in
genious expression of an Italian friend

future-in-law- In the lower classes,
says the New York Mercury. a vendetta

another question. 1t is said that the in

and was born in Virginia, and for unite
n number of years has been an active
worker around the Republican head
quarters in his district.
His opponent was a Mr.. Sullivan. the
present incumbent, whom the Demo-
Gratis firmly believed would be re-elect-
ed, but when the ballots were counted It
was discovered that Allen had received
a majority of 295 votes.
An investigation of Aliens record re-
veals the fact that he has figured quite
frequently in the Police Courts where.
