A COOL WAVE LAST NIGH
BUT IT WILL LAST ONLY FOR 4
DAY OR TWO.
ANOTHER HOT WANE ALREADY FORMING
The Meteorological Conditions Were Such as
to Make the Weather More 0pppres-
sive Than the Thermometer
y Would Indicate.

Raleigh was the hottest place III the
United States yesterday.
At least DR.. Won Herman heard from
no other station at which the mercury
climbed to the Of notch.
The day started in decently enough
with cool breezes and an occasional
fleecy cloud. 1t was not long though
before the sun got the better of the
situation. and in its blistering rays the
light breezes counted for little.
Before IL o'clock the thermometer was
at 30. as high as it has been this week
and by noon 81 was reached. But the
mercury didn't stop there; up up II
climbed to 93, then to 94, ana then
started back down again.
Now 81, under ordinary conditions, IS
mighty hot, but when YOU combine with
it excessive humidity, you have condi-
ton of affairs that is almost unbearable
Though the temperature was higher IN
North Carolina than elsewhere the heat
wave was pretty general all over the
country east of the Mississippi valley.
Late in the afternoon a strong vino
rushed in from the west cooling the air
and bearing on its back a thunder storm

and one on each side. The stage changes
are great improvement. The arch

been broadcnod by about three feet
and increased five feet in height. The
stage is now large enough to
accommodate any special scenery
brought by any troupe The theatre
loving public will greatly appreciate this
change, as so many plays have hereto

room was inadequate for the SPECIAL
scenery carried by various troups. I'm
provemcnts have been made in the dress

The stage has ben rciitted throughout
with new and handsome scenery, and

also been installed. The most important
change, we might say, is i'll the vertHa-
ton. This will be welcome feature
indeed. The windows are now so ar
ranged that they can be opened, and
the audience will not feel as they have
formerly. that they were in Il swcat-boX
The public will especially thank the
new manager for this change With
