that it would stop this time. Then she

| the bobby. short affair Which makes a
woman look so unstylish and she had
splashed round in the wet so much

ments down in Jersey. our men had not
anticipated going equipped a la Caleb
West and had not practiced deep sea
driving And so in the midst of a par
ticularly damp downpour she decided

Is it not exceedingly lonely spending
most of ones days and nights on "A
roof like a cat. or St. Simon Styites
on his pillar!
| Do YOU always come off when YOU
| hoist a cyclone signal.
Don't you think Scranton needs a
particular brand of weather inStru

thing special and unique in politicians
Do you think that you thoroughly
| understand our case?

only two seasons. the rainy and the
dry. do you feel that ii has prepared
you somewhat for one season. the
rainy, and that you will use your in
| huence to have it adopted?
Isn't there some other place where
you would prefer to reside?
Are you aware that we never had
| such weather until since you took
| charge?
Have YOU all the latest kinks in
rain Guages aneroids, etc. hygro-
meters, barOmeters. thermometers,
evaporometers, anemometers. and all
] the ether ometcrs and meters" Scran-
| Ton always wants the newest OF
everything, from grandparents 10

| Scranton earnestly believe that the
| weather man spends his time on the
roof of the Connell building with mys-
ferrous accompaniments of currents
