HOTTEST CITY IN COUNTRY.
Salt Lake Suffered Unique Distine-
ton Yesterday.


salt Lake was the hottest place on
the weather map of the United States
yesterday morning, with one single ex-
ception. That was Phoenix, Ariz-, and
there the temperature was Just the
same as that of Salt Lake. This was
not the only popularity about the SAT-
Lake weather in the last few hours.
Sunday night was the hottest night
ever experienced in the city, with one
exception. That exception was the
night of July 30. 1889. following a day
when the mercury climbed to 1O2 the
highest point on record. The lowest
point reached by the mercury the night
before last was g. and that was just
before s O'Clock yesterday morning
The highest point reached by the
mercury during the day yesterday was
9e. lust after o'clock IN the afternoon
Many people attributed their extreme
discomfort to the excessive humldlty,
but Director Murdoch said that this
was a mistake, that the humidity was
not up to the normal. As to the imTne-
date future. Director Murdoch pre-
diets cooler weather for today, but ne
could not predict rain. He said the
weather was unsettled and that iI
might rain. but there was nothing ia
the indications on which to base pre-
dfction OF certain rain.
