FLASH IN THE PAN.
Another Promised Chinese Riot Ends
i'm Smoke.

Late last night number of excited
Chinese visited police headquarters and
said a riot was in progress in the neigh
borhood of Second and | streets, and
that it had been instigated by high
binder of the Fong Duck Tong persua-
sion.
Officers Fisher and Fitzgerald, who
are always anxious to be in the thick
of riots. at once visited the infected To-
cality and found Yem Bow, the high
binder alluded to, in violent discussion
with a butcher about a bill of one dollar
which the latter had charged UP to him.
The two officers saw no immediate signs
of a real good, old fashioned riot, but
they rounded up all the Celestials in
sight and amused themselves by search
ing them for concealed weapons.
The search was fruitless until Yem
Bows turn came, when the usual long
revolver was found under his blouse.
He was locked UP, and will be charged
with having disturbed the peace.
A dozen highhinders came up from
san Francisco yesterday morning on
some mysterious mission, but six of
them returned in the afternoon. The
other five are here yet

CONCERNING OUR WEATHER.
Words by Weather Director
BarWiCk.
He Has Only to Turn to the Records
to Find Facts for Con-
graduation.

The Weather Bureau report shows the
highest and lowest temperatures yester-
day to have been 81 and 60 degrees,
with fresh to brisk southerly winds and
clear weather prevailing.
The barometrical readings at 8 a. m
and p. M. yesterday were 29.S7 and
% l6 inches, respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were Sc and 56
degrees, and one year ago to-day ST
and 56 degrees.
The dry thermometer at a. m. was
80 degrees, and the wet Sensible tenn
perature), was 81 degrees; wind south
east, twelve miles per hour, and weather
clear.
The dry thermometer at 5 p. m. was
81 degrees, and the wet Sensible tenn
perature was 20 degrees; wind south
west, twelve miles per hour, and
weather clear.
The average temperature was 76 de-
grees and the normal "a degrees, show
ing yesterday to have been two degrees
warmer than the normal.
The barometer was again falling last
night, which Indicated the approach of
moderately warm wave, but not one
passed. 1t must be understood that the
local climatic conditions of Sacramento
from past records show the weather to
vibrate like the pendulum of clock
first to one extreme and then another
seldom reaching a happy medium or an
average between the two, and when
reached it remains but a day or so.
On the first day of July there was an
Jait0 1o5Ea of To-
grees from the first of January; that is,
the average heat received from the sun
since January 1st was deficient by %
degrees over the usual amount of heat,
but the hot spell which has just passed
cOunterbalanced the above deficiency,
and now there is an excess of heat since
January 1st of 1O5 degrees, all of which
was gained during the fourteen continu-
Gus hot days from July I'd to the 10th.
Judging from past records (Which, by
the way, is the only criterion to go by in
comparing climatic conditions), there
ought not to be as long a heated spell
any time during the coming season as
| has just passed. Although the thermoan-
eter may go higher, it will not last so
long.
To show that Sacramento cools off
quicker dIter d nedted SpeI imam ANY
other interior point is to give the high
est temperature on the 10th, which
shows 104 degrees at Red Bluff, Fresno
and Yuma, while Sacramento's and
Los Angeles highest temperature only
reached S6 degrees, and Sam Luis
Obispo and San Diego so degrees, prov
ing beyond contradiction that this city
is situated in the coolest portion of the
Sacramento or San Joaquin Valleys,
Notwithstanding the vilificationE
heaped upon it by those who tenporar
lily sojourn within it's gates.
The brisk breezes that vaporise the
water over which they blew yesterday
makes sleeping comfortable, even if
the midday temperature produces that
| tired feeling so often mentioned in pat
ent medicine advertisements.

IN THE TRACK OF THE STORM.
When the Doctors Were Puzzled She
Showed She Was BOstonese.

The terrible whirlwind had done its
worst.
Stately monarchs of the forest lay
PROSTATE. Ruin and desolation marked
the path of the funnel-shaped monster
that had swept with resistless
fury over the land, destroying every
thing that stood in it's way.
Here and there were the scattered
fragments of many a dwelling that had
been the abode of peace, happiness and
prosperity.
Desolate, despairing men and women
wandered among the ruins. Now and
then there was one who bewailed his
fate with loud lamentations or bitter
curse, but for the most part the victims
bore their sorrow in sullen silence. and
there were not wanting those who found
consolation and even cause for graft
tude in the fact that their lives had
been spared
In an upper room of a house that
had escaped the storm lay one Of the
injured.
How long had she been uncon-
scious?' inquired the physician.
Ever since she was picked up and
brought here, replied one Of the
watchers.
There seems to be no bones broken, -
he rejoined, ''but the shock has been
severe. We can only hope for the best.

cyclone but this one"
The young woman on the couch
opened her eyes.
"A cyclone" she muttered feebly. sis

cult, It's center frequently being many
miles from its outer limit or circum-
ference. This was tornado. 1t was

is, however, almost universal, except
among educated persons"

FOR ROBBERY.
Joe Davis on Trial for Holding Up
G. j. Brindupky.

Joe Davis was placed on trial yester-
day in Judge Hinkson's court for rob-
bling G. ]. Brindupky on the river front
some months ago.
One of his pals, ]. Donnelly, was tried
and acquitted, but Willie Mcnamara,
the most important witness for the
prosecution, saved him by perjured tes-
timOny, for which he (McNamara) has
been committed to the Whittier School
of Industry for three years.
Mcnamara is a witness also in the
Davis case, but he gave his promise to
the District Attorney that he would this
time tell the truth. He was an eye
witness to the robbery.
The Davis case occupied all of yester
day. but may be concluded to-day.
On the witness stand yesterday Nc
Namara and Ed. Finn testified that
after they had told their stories at the
examination of Donnelly they were
threatened by the latter and Davis with
death if they did not stand in with them
at their trials.
One threat was that whenever they
went ION the road the tramp friends Of
the prisoners would shove them off
brake-beams and under the wheels of
cars.

The first effort of a group of the mem

move in military order ON the wheel was
made last night by body of cyclists
under the command of O. w. ErleWIne-
The success was so far in excess of ex-
pectation that there was a unanimous
vote to try it again on Wednesday even
ing next at Z o'clock.
The evolutions were effected without
break, "the first time trying" and
quite as much to the surprise Of the
commander as of the men themselves
Inside of a half-hour it was demon
strated that there is not facing or
marching formation usual to body of
men in column that cannot be made
v-ith comparative ease with the wheel
The exercise proved delightful, and the
