day was on the sidewalk in front Of the Germania

The one. absorbing topic OF conversation OF poll

place where there was anything going on OF more
than passing interest, and this was at inc
entrance to the Germania Building.

A Dog Brought the pardon

messenger between Governor Brown and
the felon, carrying the pardon in its
mouth from the executive mansion 10 the
prison, and, after gaining admittance, to
the recipient of clemency himself. The
dog is the property of the Governor, and
the convict is O. g. Garden of Louisville,

For some time Garden has been en-

The dog, tine-lookng specimen of the

opened IN the morning the collie was there
to meet his convict friend and accompany

with his striped playmate to the grim
portals.

Explanation.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures
at station indicate maximum temperature for the
days; those underneath it, if any, the amount of
rainfall, of melted snow in inches and hundredths,
during the past twelve hours. Isobars solid
lines connect points of equal air pressure; so-
therms or dotted lines. equal temperature. The
word "high" means high barometric pressure and
is usually accompanied by fair weather; Glow"
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 low IS inclosed with isobars of marked curva-
ture rain south OF oregon is improbable. With a
"hlgh" in the vicinity OF Idaho and the pressure
falling to the California coast warmer weather may
be expected in summer and colder weather in win
ter. The reverse of these conditions will produce
opposite result.
