a Rare June.

Weather experts are invited to turn
their attention to the unreasonable
antics of the month which closed Mon
day. From time immemorial, in song
and story, June has been the month
of roses and weddings, bright skies
and balmy zephyrs, lovely nights and
radiant mornings. 1t has been the
time for love and sunshine and other
things dear to the human heart. But
this June of the year of our Lord 1909
has been a vociferous exception to
the rule. The blue skies have been
obscured by dark clouds. The zephyrs
have been anything but balmy. 1t
has rained necessarily. The nights
have been dark and rainy and the
mornings much the same In short.
the month has been everything that
June ought not to be, and the ''oldest
inhabitant" is hard up for any prece-
dent. What is the reason for this
metamorphosis Why has June been
transformed into a combination of
October and April? We respectfully
submit these burning questions to
weather sharps at Washington and
elsewhere. Maybe if they can get at
the causes they can suggest a remedy
for the sad state of affairs.

Harper's Ferry, the Gate to the Shenan-
doah Valley.


doah Valley.
Where the three States of Virginia.
West Virginia and Maryland come
together; where the Potomac and
Shenandoah Rivers unite; where the
towering sleeps of the Blue Ridge
end abruptly, frowning upon the
heights of Maryland and Bolivar
Heights in West Virginia, lies the
quaint historic town of Harper's
Ferry. John Brown baptized it in
blood in 1859, when he captured the
town and U. S. Arsenal and made his
final and fatal stand in the engine
house known afterwards as John
Browns Fort, alongside the Balti-
more Il Ohio Railroad. A plain shaft,
simply inscribed, now marks the loca-
ton.
Again in 1861, grim visaged war
seized the village and held it tight in
its grasp for nearly four years. The
deeds that were done, and the tales
that are told concerning Harper's
Ferry fill volumes.
The heights at Harper's Ferry
guarded the Shenandoah Valley. 1t
was most important stronghold to
be desired when some great campaign
was planned by either army.
From Harper's Ferry the Shenan-
doah Division of the Baltimore &
Ohio r. R. extends southwark to
Charlestown, Winchester, Harrison
burg and Lexington. Battlefelds
surround the village in all directions.
