The shirt waist man is occasionally
seen, and the first straw hated horse
has appeared on the street, in team
which came from Norway. The horse
hat looks at first glance as if it would be
better if the rim was wide enough to
shade the horses eyes, which it does not
do. The special beauty of the hat is
that the crown contains sponge which
is supposed to be kept damp.
1t would of course be superfluous to
that we had the second tiercely
hot wave of the summer last week; but
this was such fierce one that it is GER
tainly worthy of special mention. Official
records kept in the manner approved by
the weather bureau are not available:
but thermometers were made to show
various temperatures in the immediate
vicinity of 100 in the shade, while few
which were hung in the sun as matter
of curiosity, made records ranging from
TO to 1874. The thermometer in the
Democrat editorial rooms, which has
never before been above 90 during the
six summers this Office has been Occu-
pied, went to 95 during the last week in
June, and last Tuesday stood at 81.
Monday was an intensely hot day, but
was worse, and it is undoubt-
edly safe to say that, taking the twenty
four hours through, it was the hottest
day in this section in many years. The
last of the week we got some quite COM
Portable weather, but it is still summer.
