WHEN FLYING THROUGH SPACE
Recall These Definitions and Figure Out
What Struck You.


The United States Weather Bureau has
just issued a circular designed to correct
popular nlisapprehension as to tornadoes
and cyclones. The circular says:
The tornado is sudden outburst of
wind in an otherwise quiet. sultry at
mosphere; 1T is ushered in by loud, in
GeScribable roar, similar to q continuous
roll of thunder; its path is very narrow
seldom more than 500 feet wide at great
est destruction; it moves, generally, from
southwest to northeast, and rarely ex-
tends more than twenty miles; it very
often rises in the air, to descend again
at point a few miles ahead; it is always
accompanied by thunderstorms, with Of
ten a bright glow in the cloud; this cloud
has usually n funnel shape, which ap-
pears to be whirling, though some obser-
vers havs described it's appearance like
thaJ Of huge bail rolling forward. A
tornado may be considered as the result
of an extreme development of conditions
which otherwise produce thunderstorms.
A cyclone, on the other hand, is very
broad storm, oftentines 1000 miles in
diameter, and sometimes can be followed
half around the world; tho winds circu-
laEe about il from right to left, or the
way one turns cloox hands back ward lin
the Southern Hemisphere this motion is
reversed. Inc air pressure always Ialls
as one approaches the cen ter, where, at
sea, there is a portentous calm, with clear
sky visible at times. The cyclone winds
often rise TO hurricane force. but are not
to be compared with the extreme violence
uf the tornado, before which the most
solid structures are raZed.
The French term iron be or tourbillon
Describes almost exactly the tornado,
which term was first applied to severe
squalls, with funuel-shaped clouds, ex-
perionced on the west coast of Africa,
and which. to this day. inspire the ut
most fear in tho minds Of the natives.

AS Maine is one of the first States to

pea.ally desirable that large Republican

whole country will look to Maine for a
decisive protest against the calanliioas

then, and guard against surprises. An

curious case, that of Joseph Miohcaul of
Midway, who had been through insol-
venoy, and discharged of his debts, and
was later arrested ON bill of S3.48, which
bill he refused to pay, and was jailed.
Miohoanl claimed that he was released of
his debts by the insolvency process. He
is still in jail and the 49, has increased
