THUNDER STORM.
The First Storm in Many Years Visited
Astoria Yesterday Afternoon.

A regular old-fashloned thunder
storm, accompanied by heavy rain ard
hail, visited Astoria yesterday after
noon. old timers said that II was the
first one accompanied by such sharp
thunder seen in this locality in ten or
fifteen years, Oregon Is not supposed
to have thunder storms, and when one
does arrive II creates no little sensa-
tion.
About ? o'clock yesterday afternoon
a bank Of black clouds was seen to ap-
proach from the east and occasionally
streaks Of lightning Illuminated the
dark background. At 3 o'clock the rain
came down in sheets and quilts. A
number OF sharp reports OF thunder oc-
Cured and several vivid flashes Of
lightning made many Of the newcomers
in this country think Of their old
homes in the east. where thunder
storms and cyclones are the rule rather
than the exception There We're sew
eral slight casualties during the after
noon. one or two motors We're burned
out, which caused several stores TO be
in darkness. II was also reported
that Agent Lounsberry. while talking
over the phone with one OF the can
neries, had the ear trumpet knocked
out Of his hand by a streak OF light
ming. The storm accomplished one
good thing, however. The streets re-
celved thorough cleansing.
