! From information furnished by Weather
Observer @. N. Salisbury. It is gathered
that the present month breaks all records
for low mean temperature. although there
have been lower minimum temperatures.
Still the month u only little more than
the month may not be so low as II is a;
present. Comparing the present month
with the same month in other years the
August 1s and Ia. 1892 the thermometer
stood at ~ degrees: on August .. 1853. It
was ~ degrees and on August 8. 1925, II
s s.y - as low as 81 dsess as .h
llth. the temperature then being 90 degrees.
So Ii Will be seen that August. 1895. was
colder than 1t has been this month yet.
Beginning on August s. this year, the
temperature Of the nine Gays following was
as follows: August :. 60 degrees. g. So: ~.
g: IL. co. IL, a; y, S.: H. IS; Is. &c. ls. 50.
As will be seen. the average temperature
for this time IL almost 60 degrees In the
corresponding days OF 1923 the lowest tenn
perafure was IS degrees. with an average Of
about "a degrees. In 1894 IS degrees was
the lowest. the average being 81 degrees. In
1895. "a degrees was the lowest and the aver
age for the ten days following August s
was s5i5 degrees.
A remarkable thing about 1895 is that
there was very little rain anc none fell un-

weather bureau that year he accounted for
the peculiar atmospheric condition by the
prevalence OF smoke. which obscured the
sun. This reason however. was not deem
ed sufficient at Washington. The normal
temperature Of the month Of August ia
placed at a degrees. so II will he seen how
far behind the normal is the present month.
Mr.. Salisbury sale Yesterday that he
could give no reason for the cold weather
this year. when we know why the storm
track is so far south one year and far
north another year" he said. "then we will
be able 10 forecast the weather conditions
a long distance ahead"
The rainfall this year has also eclipsei
all records for the month OF August. TIP

fallen. which Is a great deal Of rain. when
the fact that August is usually n pretty

Mr.. Salisbury hopes much from the re-

MRS. Col. A, u. Seeley.

AT her home in Berwick, after be-
ing confined to the house by invalid
ism for a number of years, Mrs.
Seeley, wife of Col. A. d. Seeley,
died on Friday morning in the fifty
eighth year of her age. For years her
life had been filled with sickness and
suffering, and while it was only a few
months ago that it became necessary
for her to take her bed, but few in
deed, are called upon to experience
what she endured But with it all
there was never word of complaint.
To those who formed her acquaintance
the death of Mrs. Seeley is loss
almost beyond expression. She pos
sessed a happy disposition, always
doing kindly acts for neighbors and
friends without ostentation. A nat
ure such as hers has been must and
will remain paramount in the memory
of all those who knew and loved her.
Before marriage Mrs. See,ey was a
Miss Stackhouse, a sister of William
Stackhouse, at present a resident of
Berwick.
Mr.. Seeley has the heartfelt sympa-
thy OF all in his hour OF sadness.
The funeral services were conduct
at the honse Sunday afternoon by Rev.
A. r. Miller. of the Berwick Method,
ist church, of which the deceased was
a member. The G. A. r., Women's
Relief Corps and Sons Of Veterans
attended the funeral in body. There
was also large attendance OF friends
who had come to pay their last trib-
ute of respect to one whom they had
esteemed. The remains were laid to
rest in the Berwick Cemetery.

Foul Play Feared.

A man apparently middle aged, was
found lying between life and death
along the Pennsylvania Railroad, a
short distance above the Catawissa
Bridge, Thursday morning. His head
and upper portion of his body bore
numerous cuts, and it is believed he
was injured internally. He was re-
moved to Catawissa, but expired with
out regaining his senses. His death
might have resulted from injuries re-
ceived by falling from a train, but to
those who discovered him this theory
is secuted, and considerable credence
is placed in the belief that the un-
fortunate man was the victim of foul
play. He was we'll dressed, which fact
goes to strengthen the latter belief.
Leaving him along the railroad track
after he had been robbed is regarded
as an intrigue of the perpetrators to
avoid suspicion.

ience that they were artists. 1t was
one of the best musical entertainments
ever given in Bloomsbury. Miss
Carllsmith was troubled with sore
throat but she sang beautifully not
withstanding. After the concert the
Philo and their friends met IN the
Gymnasium, which was nicely deco,

Normal School Orchestra, and refresh
ments were served 1t was a pleas

of helpful thoughts and gospel truths.
Every man will find a cordial welcome

The Reading room with its ex-
cellent supply ofpapers and magazines
proves to be splendid attraction tor
our young men. Often times the
room is uncomfortably crowded, but
IN a very short time we will occupy
our new quarters where there will be
abundance of room. The large front
parlor will be used for the reading
room and a more attractive place can
not be found in town. The room just
in the rear is to be supplied with
various games and will be the general
conversation and amusement parlor.
These two rooms will be open to the
free use of the general public.
