Exclamation,

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 lsobars, or solid
lines, connect poin OF equal air pressure; iso-
therms, dotted lines, equal temperature The
word ''hiGh" means high barometrc pressure and
is usually ACCOMPANIED by fair weather; slow''
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 Glow" is inclosed 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
Will produce an opposite result.

tee to investigate recent bond issues, says
he has not yet determined whether the
committee will wait until fall before go
ing on with its investigation or whether
it will complete the work, frame the re-
port and make it public this summer.
This last meeting adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman and the present
purpose is to wait until fall before con-
tiDuing the inquiry, but Senator Harris
says that conditions may arise, incident
to the campaign, that would make it de-
sirable to present all the facts and the
report to the public at once. In doing
this, he added, no political motives would
be involved, and the only purpose would
be to clear up doubts and unfounded
charges growing out of the excitement
arising from a national contest. The
chairman says that if public misappre-
hension should arise on bond questions, it
would be proper to give the public the
amplest information without reference
to when it would benefit or iniure.

of heart disease
