shakespeare a Mason.

DR.. 0rville w. Owen of Detroit has sent
out little book addressed to the Masonic
fraternity. in which he says: "In deciph-
ering the Shakespearian plays (1623 folio
edition) and other works of Bacon, for the
preparation of Sir Francis Bacon's Cipher
Story l have found unmistakable evil
dence that the author of them was not
only Mason of high degree, but that he
placed In the plays a large portion of the
Masonic ritual. Believing this to be of the
greatest interest and importance to the
brotherhood the following parts of the
plays, with the places from which they
come, are now given to the order. Under
standing fully the obligations under which
| rest as a Mason (of the seventh degreel
have taken pains to hide the work that
none but the brethren will understand.
Francis Bacon, the author of the plays,
was Master Mason, and claims to have
been grand master of the Orient and a
Rosicrucian knight, and hidden within
his works are directions by which it is not
difficult to travel into Illyria."

The arrow lies with the wind. The top figures
Of station indicate maximum Temperature for the
days; those underneath it. if any, the amount OF
rainfall, OF melted snow in inches and huud redths
during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid
lines, connect points OF equal air pressure; iso-
thermS, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word high" means high barometric pressure and
is usually ACCOMPANIED by fair weather: 'low''
refers to low pressure. and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
Lows usually first appear on the Washington
coast W hen the pressure is high in the interior

but when the low" is incosed with sobars OF
marked curvature, rain south of oregon is improb-
sble. With thigh" in The vicinity of Idaho and
the pressure falling to the California coast warmer
weather may be expected in summer and colder
