during the past twelve hours. Isobars, solid
lines connect points OF equal air pressure; iso-
therms, or dotted lines. equal temperature. The
word "high'' means high barometric pressure and
Is usually accompanied by fair weather; "iow'
refers to low pressure and is usually preceded and
accompanied by cloudy weather and rains. "Lows"
usually first appear on the Washington coast.
When the pressure Is high in the interior and low
along the coast, and the isobars extend north and
south along the coast, rain Is probable: but when
the slow" is fncosed with isobars of marked curva-
ture rain south OF Oregon is improbable. With 6
"high" In the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure
falling to the California coast, warmer weather
be expected in summer and colder weather in win
ter. The reverse Of these conditions will produce
an oppOsite result.

present to his troop. Shortly after this
the cub was lost for year. Then one day
man came round with performing bear,
which was recognized as Lizzie" Since
then Lizzie" has remained with the Sew
enteenth, with whom she came to England
in 1889. She is great bet with all ranks,
for her own part reciprocating the affec-

her particular guardian. Lizzie" lives on
bread and milk, jams and fruits, and goes
every day to the canteen for a pint. She
takes no water, and enjoys swim in the

trip, which shall it be? In either case
one of the most useful travelling COM

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
remedies sea sickness, nausea, head
ache, biliousness and malarial com
paints. Dyspepsia, rheumatism, ner-
vousness and kidney trouble are also
remedied by the great Alternative and
preventive. Tourists by sea and land,
mariners, emigrants and western pio-

remedial efficacy. Bodily and mental
fatigue are counteracted by it, and it
prevents maladies which would other

reliable of summer tonics, and suits the
