Hicks weather predictions for May
are about as follows: From 1st to
End a warm wave with a storm, fol-
lowed by cooler weather and possibly
by frosts in many parts between the
3rd and 9th. Heavy storms are pos
sible from the 7th to the 18th. If
temperature is high and the air sui
try, dangerous storms should not
any section. Very cool
nights and some heavy frosts will fol-
low in the North Storm period be-
gins about the 18th and violent
storms may appear between the 18th
and 2lst. All people are admonished
to be watchful and cautious at the
of threatening storm clouds
throughout all the central parts Of
May. In the north it will be pru-
dent to anticipate frosts during nights
following storms. Oath to 25th rain
and buster in many sections. The
month goes out with a regular storm
period.
A medical contemporary claims
that the air of a room may be mater
tally purified in two hours by setting
inside of it wide mouthed pitcher
filled with pure cold water. In three
hours at most it will have absorbed
all the respired gases in. the room,
leaving the air purer by that much,
but the water will be too filthy to
use, if one but knew and could see
what it had taken in. It is estimated
that a common pailful of ice water
will absorb in six hours one quart of
carbonic acid and several pints of
ammonia from the air. For the pur-
flying the water is alright, but don't
use it to wash in or to drink. For
those purposes use fresh water, just
drawn. or use from vessels that are
always covered either by metal or
china, or by several folds of cloth,
like clean towel. Care in the use
Of drinking water would avert many
calamities, as typhoid and other ma
[arial fevers.
The action of the council in SO
readily and generously granting the
request Of the school board to use the
available funds for the school library,
is a very commendable one, and,
doubt, will be appreciated
oy all progre ;siye citizens and the
scholars. The library is open for the
Tree use of It's books by any RESPONSE
ole person, and the school board de-
'ires it to be SO understood. During
The summer months, while school is
closed, it is contemplated to make
some provision for distribution and
reception of books, so that the library
;an be used the year round. So far,
he school board has doubled the
amount raised by the school enter
;ainments, for the purpose Of pur-
books, and, do not contem-
plate changing this practice. It was
to the council that small
appropriation be made each year
from village funds for library pur-
poses. This, with the other source
IF revenue, would enable the new
ibray board to make valuable and
arge additions each year. The
council favored the idea as the bene-
it scholars and citizens would derive
rom large library is inestimabIe.
