Again hath the weather man donned fis
duck garments and the seapegoat humidity
is accused OF more pranks. The past few
weeks have brought a large and varied as
sortment of weather TO the regions around
Washington, and it has come to pass
wherein no man knoweth whether he may
don crash clothing or unearth an ancient
oTercoat when he dresses in the morning.
Several days ago the temperature was down
to so degrees Yesterday the 80 degree
mark was reached and the humidity was
sitting.
The sudden change is attributed to the
proximity of the great hurricane which re-
placed the sea serpent as the topic at coast
resorts. The mercury, hearing OF the rapid
approach of the dreaded storm, grew fear
some and dropped as far out OF sight as
possible, while the frolicsOme humidity es-
capped for its life and remained hidden. AS
the tornado failed to appear. the mercury
gradually recovered its equilibrium and the
humidity, seeing no danger, returned to
