CONTINUATION OF WINTER.
The "Signs" Indicate an Extension OF
Six Weeks.

If there is anything to the old story Of
the ground hog We shall have winter
weather for plumb six weeks. AT noon to-
day the sun was shining brightly and the
little animal must surely have seen his
shadow if he mustered UP courage to VEN
ture from his home.
In the western country the antics of the
ground hog are watched with remarkable
degree of interest Even out at the wealth
er bureau on NJ street, where science is the
only thing that is supposed to hold sway,
Chief Forecaster Garriott and his assist
ants did not forget that this was Candlemas
day, and it was noted on the records that
the sun shone brightly at II m.
The Official thermometer registered q de-
grees above zero little before o'clock
this morning, but the cold was not SO per-
ceptible as it was yesterday, when the
wind blew gale of thirty miles an hour.
During the day the temperature moderated
into typical and charming W inter- grade.
There may be snow fiurries tonight, but
the weather will continue pretty cold. In
fact. there is no immediate sign Of warm
weather.
