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 poin of equal air pressure; so-
thermS, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word "hiRh" means high barometric pressure and
is usually ACCOMPANIED by fair weather: dow
refers 10 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 Glow" is incl0sed with isobars OF
marked curvature rain south of Oregon is improb-
able. With thigh" in the vicinity of Idaho, and
the pressure falling to the California coast warmer
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter. The reverse OF these conditions
VIII produce an opposite result.

Damage Suits Quickly Settled,

Lnzerne county broke the record on
Tuesday for quick decision in civil
suit for DANCES. On that day three
suits for $4,000 each were commenced
against the Pennsylvania Coal Company
by the families of Mcdonald, Young and
Rolls, the three men killed by boiler ex.
plosion at Avoca some time ago. The
arbitrator found for the plaintiffs in the
sum of 81, $50 in each case, the defendant
also to pay the cost. The decision also
holds good in the case of John T. Blew,
who was injured in the explosion, and
who sued for like amount.
This was very rapid disposal of the
case, it being decided within twenty-four
hours after the suits were entered. Some.
times suits of this nature consume years
in going from one court to another.

Three Mishaps at a CoIliery,

William Davis, of Birvanton, was
knocked down by car on the slope at
No. 5, Jeddo, on Tuesday morning and
the car passed over one of his legs, in
juring it severely. He was engaged in
oiling pulleys on the slope, and while SO
doing his lamp caught fire. After he
eXtinguished the blaze he was left in
darkness and heard, a car descending.
Stepping to the opposite track to avoid
it, he placed himself directly in front of
an ascending car and met with the acci-
dent stated above.
In the afternoon the hosting rope
broke on the main slope and II loaded
car dashed to the bottom, doing consid-
cradle damage to rails and timber in
its descent.
Later in the day the air compressor
used in the new rock tunnel at the
collery broke down and work in the
tunnel had to cease. 1t will require
several days to place the compressor in
working order again.
