That's what Made Yesterday So UncOm-
Portable.

Yesterday passed with most people as
the hottest and most uncomfortable day
of the season. The Weather Bureau Their
mometer registered 81 degrees about all
day, while the thermometer on the
streets were recording 90 and even high
er. But it was the humidity which
caused the heat to be felt. This humidi-
ty was recorded between so and 80 de-
grees all day, though at o. clock it be-
gan to fall gradually until IS was
reached.
As pleasing contest to the comfortable
weather of yesterday in Portland the
Weather Bureau informed the PRESS
that in Northwestern Canada the Their
mometer registered 80 degrees above and
a wet snow was falling
Yesterday was shirt waist day. Men
without coats and women bareheaded
were to be seen on every car, for the
electric lines all did a big business.
There being no wind the bay was as hot
as the city and it was hard to find a
comfortable spot. Few people went tC
church and all who could got out of the
city One Of the passengers on the Hora-
ito Hall which arrived here in the after
noon, said it was delightfully."- cool at sea
but when off the Cape lights a hot shor,
breeze struck the ship and it was Xix,
stepping into Turkish bath, the chang.
was so sudden.

A SHIRT WAIST MAN.
He Made His First Appearance in Ort-
land Yesterday and Came From
GOrham.

Hereafter Gorham must figure as the
Paris of Cum berIand county.
The first shirt waits man to make his
appearance on the streets of Portland,
so far as know, Showed up syester-
day and he blew in fromE thai
town yesterday afternoon in the West
brook electrics.
The garment was not of the most ad-
vanced pattern, but it was advanced
enough SO that the young man attracted
more attention than anything seen
hereabouts for some time.
The Gorham mans shirt waist was
pure white of some thin cloth, and there
were several broad pleats down In front.
He wore a collar and necktie of ordi-
nary pattern, and the sleeves were per-
fectly plain.
1t looked cool and comfortable, too, and
lots of men who were sweItering along
the street with heavy coats on, must
have enyied the Iightness of his apparel
If they didn It the attention he was at
tracting.
The shirt waist man first came into
Westbrook and after people there had
been given a good chance to see what
the much talked of garb looked like he
got on a car and came into Portland.
He arrived here about o'clock and
walked about the city for awhile. 1t
was day when very few people were
strolling about anyway and those that
were, looked hot, detected and spiritless
II Admiral Dewey or Col. Bryan had
come strolling down the walk probably
nine-tenths Of them wouldn't have looked
up, but the shirt waist man attracted
their attention Immediately. When they
caught sight of him they would straight
ten up turn around and gaze and really
appear to take an interest In life. A few
street urchins felt called upon to make
some remarks, and two or three followed
the coatless man, but there wasn't
enough ofthis to be annoying, anyway
it didn't appear to annoy the Gorham
man,
