Such dispatches, when wired to Wash

scoffed at as sensational.

The thermometer climbed TO the 81
degree point in the afternoon at the

one degree of the highest recorded all
summer and Professor Lyon said last
night after q hurried look over his
records for five or six years back that .ic
believed it eQualed the highest ever re-
corded here for the month OF October.
The dew point was 6S.5 and the relative
humidity Is. At the same time there
was a very light south wind with
velocity OF only two miles an hour,
which accounts for the afternoon be-
ing so oppressive to sweltering hu-
manity. Yesterday showed a great re-

only So, while the dew point had
dropped two points and the relative
humidity five points. Last night the
dew point was down to 63, which ac-
