SAYS 1T HASN'T
RAlNED MUCH
RECKLESS STATEMENT OF OBJ
SERVER CLARK.

All Were Inclined to the Belief That
This Region Has Had Much More
Than Its Share Of wetness, Lately,
but the weatherman Declares the
Precipitation Has Not Beee Very
Much Above the General Average.
Some Figures on the Amount Of
Rainfall.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-08-01

would be duly appreciated. Weather
Observer Clarke declares that the local
rainfall has not been very much above
the general average, and adds that
there is too general tendency on the
part of people to cavil at the weather.
For instance" he remarked, yester-
day. you can hear people complain
ing every time 1t rains that there must
have been q cloudburst somewhere
around here, and mournfully bewailing
the fact that it has rained every day
this month. Now that's fallacy. We
have had as many as ten days in July
on which not a single drop Of moisture
fell, and two days on which the down.
fall was hardly perceptible, as it was
less than one-hundredth Of an inch"
He then produced some records of the
weather bureau, and proceeded to COM
pare local figures with general statis-
tics. He ascertained from these that
the average amount of rain which falls
during the months of March, April,
May. June and July is 1888 inches.
During these five months, which are
properly known as the growing season,
when much rain is naturally expected
and desired. Scranton has been blessed
with a downpour of 1903 inches, which
is per cent above the average.
JUNE RAINFALL.
In the month Of June the rain fell
pretty steadily and frequently, with
the consequence that there are 669
inches of rain on record for that month,
which Is over three inches above the
average amount Of June moisture.
In May, however, there was little
doing in the way of wetness, and the
local figures of 1.61 fell two inches short
of what was expected. The other
months were about average. The usual
downpour for July is 4.33 inches, and
in spite of the fact that the skies have
appeared to weep throughout this en-
tire month, Mr. Clarke's records show
that there have been but 4.32 inches OF
rain, which is slightly below the aver
age.
Heavy rains are, however, expected
during August by the weather officials.
1t is month of thunder showers, which
are largely caused BY the heat. There
have been few days when the rain fell
steadily and continuously, but the
downpour has come generally in hard,
driving sheets. Several small storms
took place during the month, and on
two occasions a rather heavy fall of
hail accompanied the rain.
These storms have had the effect of
interfering materially with city inn
provements. and Director of Public
Works John e. Roche stated yesterday
to Tribune man that in no month of
the year has so much damage been
done by rains as in July
Comparatively few damage claims
have been lodged against the city,"
said he, but a great number of re-
ports have been made of flooded cellars,
owing to the over-saturated condition
OF the earth.

Sewer basins have been choked to

FEARLESS CITY FATHERS
Mourning at the Retirement Of
Eight Not Apparent at Last
Night Meeting.

q MINI apolis aldermen are not very sem
timental, not as much so as formerly, for
the last meeting of the present city colln
Gil was exactly like the other formal
routine sessions. Though there were
eigh aldermen who would not longer sit
with their colleagues of the past two
years. there was NO reference to the sep
aration.
The meeting was unusually. tame. a
show Of breeze appeared when the
WaterWorks committee recommended the
awarding Of contract for oil separators
for the north least pumping station to a
firm whose bid was ST. higher than the
lowest bid. It was explained that the
city engineer, the waterWorks officials,
the makers Of the pumps, ETC., were unan-
imously in favor Of the separators which
cost the most, and SO the recommendation
was approved.
Aldermand Rand grew inquisitive when
an ordinance permitting the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railway to place a
spur track across Twelfth avenue 8 was
proposed. He demanded a plat and full
explanation, but after assuring himself
that everything was all right offered no
opposition. The ordinance passed. y
E At the request Of Alderman Schoon-
maker the rules were suspended, SO as
to permit of action on the placing Of an
electric light at Upton avenue and Forty
fourth street, near the Linden Hills Con-
gregational church. '-..r5.-
The report of the committee on roads
and bridges favoring the vacation of Al
drich avenue from Linden avenue to the
st. Louis tracks was not presented. The
property on both sides of the street is
owned by the Minneapolis Gas Light com
pany and Alderman Merrill is apprehen-
sive lest, a gas factory or some other OBJ
tjectionable structure may go up some day.
He was ready with a minority report last
evening, but had no occasion to present it.

THE WRITER OF BOASTS
An Example of How He Fails to In
vestigate Sometimes.

The Minneapolis postoffice furnishes in
STANCES to show how persons making COM
plant fail to investigate Or to use q lit
on the department to the pOstoffice Off
Gals. Human nature is variously displayed
in these complaints. ,.t.~ - 80
For instance, a business firm mails let
ter minus the name of the town and state.
It comes back from the postoffice stamped
with a big hand pointing to the return
card of the firm; also stamped 'Insuf-
ficient address" and Return to the
writer
The firms clerk completes the address
and remails the letter thanking his stars
that the boss" did not get the mail first
that morning. In the next mail the letter
is returned and is indignantly remailed
ated clerk Next morning the letter again
reappears, this time in the first mail .s|,,.
This is, a matter that needs the atten-
ton of the head of the firm, who sweeps
in every detail at a glance and dictates
at once to the postmaster or his assistant
a scorching criticism of the inefficiency
of the local force. But had his clerk sim
ply efTaced the Return to the writer
and other marks, the writer would have
saved the price Of a stamp, secured the
immediate forwarding Of his letter and
at the same time found in his clerk a
slight show of shrewdness, which some
men lack outside of their line Of bust
ness.
AS far as the postoffc is concerned, the
| letter is unavailable while the marks re-
! main umcanceled on the envelop.
