Weather conditions and general forecast
The Storm central Friday in northern Geor-
Ria, has moved to western Pennsylvania,
increasing in intensity, and has caused rain
from the middle and lower Mississippi val
ley to the Atlantic coast. The rapid mo-
ton of this storm shows that there has
been a break in the weather conditions III

tons are that dry and cooler northwesterly
winds will rapidly clear the skies tonight.
Abnormal temperatures continue in the
Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys,
Moorhead reporting SO degrees above nor
NAL, Duluth 3D. Huron 81, St. Paul 50 and
Bismarck 81. The efficient cause for these
abnormal temperatures during the past two

succession of low areas passing from west
to east to the north of Montana. The tenn
perature has risen in the middle Missouri
and upper Mississippi valleys, has fallen in
northern Montana and has remained nearly
