THE MUSIC OF NIAGARA.
A Musician Hears the Hnrmonies and the
Rhythm OF the Mighty Cataract

From the Trinity Record.
Eugene Thayer, the well-known organfst
has published an analysis OF the music Of
Niagara Falls. II says:
If had ever been my belief that S!gara
had not been heard as it should be. and in this
belief turned my steps hitherward. What
did I hear: The roar OF Niagara? heard
nothing hut a perfectly constructed. musical
tone. clear. definite. and unapproachabls in
its majestic perfection. a complete series Of
tones, all uniting in one grand and noble uni
son, as in the organ
Mr. Thayer then described at some length
the compound nature OF given tone. and II.
lustrates the overtones or partials OF the lowest

At last arrangements have been
completed so that Sacramento
County will be properly repre-
sented at the semi cele
bration at Monterey in commemora-
tion of the raising of the American flag
at that place by Commodore Sloat in
1916. This result is due mainly to the
personal efforts of Miss Callie Vivian,
sister of Mrs. E. c. Hart, who was for
merIy a resident of Sacramento and
who came here last week to see that
Sacramento County was properly rep
resented.
Miss Cora T. Hammer, daughter of NJ.
S. Hammer, has been selected by the
Supervisors to represent Sacramento in
the group of counties, and her creden-
tials, signed by J. NJ. Morrison, Chair
man of the board, and attested by the
County Clerk, were forwarded to her at
Pacific Grove yesterday. Miss Ham
mer Is a native daughter of Sacramento
and will be a credit to her birthplace.
Chairman Morrison has also made ar
rangements to have the slab of Sacra-
mento granite for the Sloat monument
properly inscribed and sent forward.
The celebration will commence on the
4th instant and close on the 1th.

Months Weather.

The Weather Bureau report shows the
highest and lowest temperatures yes
terday to have been Sc and 81 degrees,
with light and variable winds ranging
from south to northwest, with clear
weather prevailing.
The barometrical readings at a. m.
and p. IN. yesterday were 3O.O4 and
29.97 inches respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were "a and 90
degrees. and one year ago to-day 76
ard 81 degrees.
The dry thermometer at a. m. was
"a, and the wet Sensible temperature)
was 81 degrees; wind southeast, III
miles per hour, and weather clear.
The dry thermometer at 5 p. m. was
81, and the wet Sensible temperature)
was TO degrees wind southwest, D
miles per hour, and weather clear.
The highest wind velocity was Is
miles per hour
The average temperature was 6S and
the normal II degrees, which shows yes
terday to have been 3 degrees cooler
than the normal temperature for July
1st.
There is every indication of an ap-
preaching warm wave that will cover
the two great valleys of California.
Locally speaking, the records show
that on June 26th the average temper
ature and the normal We're the same,
since which date each day has shown
heat deficiency, as compared with the
normal, ranging from 3 to 8 degrees.
For the last two days it was de-
grees less, and in all probability it will
be normal to-day and for several days
following will probably run above the
normal, lasting from seven to ten days
consecutively. After that a cool wave
will give the heated valleys relief. At
least, this is the experience Of past his
tory of the interior portions of Cali
fornia. These heated spells in the in
terror cause fogs along the coast, and
fog in the coast counties means good
bean and corn crops and pasturage

tions have been taken at the United
States Weather Bureau office in this

Interesting Facts Concerning the In

The following statement or the snip
ment of oranges from this city for each

OF crop conditions or the aggregate of
shipments. During some of the years
In which the numbers decreased there
was a short crop, and in some other
years, instead of coming this way. the
bulk of the shipments went East with
out ever coming north at all. There will
also be found some notable differences
In the date of opening and closing the
