JULY WEATHER.
What Hicks Has to Say About tho Weather
This Month.

The 10th day of July is not strictly
within the limits of a storm period.
but it is the date on which the moon
crosses the celestial equator, and is
covered by the combined Influences of
the Venus and Mercury periods. Hence
the reactionary storms due about the
llth to the 18th, will most probably de-
velop on and touching the 10th. Ex-
cessive warm weather will exist prior
to storm examinations at this time.
The opposition of the planet Saturn
falls on the 18th, and unless frequent
and general electrical storms occur to
break up the contraction of solar en-
ergy, a prolonged term of intensely
warm weather will continue through
all the central part of the month.
The central Vulcan storm period for
month covers the 18th to the Goth, be-
ing central ion the 18th, the day of
Saturn's opposition to the earth and
sun. This period is also covered by
the combined influences of Venus
and Mercury. We may therefore ex-
pect some noticeable disturbances be-
tween Wednesday the 10Th, and Mon
day the Goth. If these disturbances
do not take the form of heavy electri-
cal storms, phenomenal heat will pre-
vail and seismic perturbations will
probably culminate on or near the goth.
Ii general and marked electrical
storms should develop at this period
results rather to be expected there
will come gracious respite from con-
Stunning heat and drouth, thus assisting
and perhaps saving the corn crop in
many western to northwestern states.
The 22nd to the 24th inclusive will
bring reaction from high to a low
er barometer, the temperature will
rise to higher readings land storminess,
with lightning, threatening clouds
and rain in many localities, will be
natural, all reaching the eliminating
stages on and touching the 24th. This
is the day of the moons passage &C.
Sross the celestial equator, which fac,
always increases the probability oil
thunder storms, even in moderate
weather in winter. 49,
The last storm period for July will
culminate during the closing days oil
the month, low barometer, cloudiness
with probable rain and thunder storms
being in transit from west to east as
July goes out. .-. 81

CLIMATE AND CROP BULLETIN,

Weather and Crop Conditions in Mime
sofa for the Week Ending July7.
In the early part of the week the
weather was moderately cool, but on
the 3rd it changed to warmer and con-
tinued warm the rest of the week.
There were frequent showers except
during the "a hour periods ending at
I a. M, on the 4th and 7th; these were
very heavy locally, the follow ing
amounts being reported during the "a
hours ending on the mornings of the
dates given, as follows: 2.2S inches at
Minneapolis on the 5th; 2.04 inches in
St. Paul on the 9Th; 1.62 inches at Mon
tevideo on the End; 100 inches at
Grand Meadow on the End, and 1.3O in
ches at Duluth on the 9Th. The rains
on the evenings of the 9TH and 5th
were accompanied by high winds in
many places which blew down some
very rank grain. In central and nor
thern parts of the State the need of
rain was beginning to be felt, and
there the rains of the week have been
beneficial to all crops; elsewhere rain
was not needed, but it has caused no
injury. In the northern part of the
State spring wheat, oats, barley and
fax are growing we'll; in central and
southern portions these crops aresin
splendid condition, except in a few To-
calities, where on the light soil the
straw is short and flax rather thin.
There is some complaint of rust in
southern portions and the fear of
lodging. Rye is ripening. Spring
wheat and oats are heading. Corn has
been backward, but the recent, warm
weather has started a vigorous growth;
the crop has been we'll cultivated. Po-
tatoes are good, and new potatoes are
ready for use. A great deal of clover
has been cut for hay, though the week
has not been favora BILE for haying, and
in southeastern portions considerable
hay has been injured or spoiled by the
rains Timothy is ready to cut.

Representative Mclean.


T. G.. Mclean of this city has filed
with the secretary of state, notice of
his intention to run for the Office of
representative from the Forty-ffth leg
islative district, and we might add
that this step is almost equivalent: to
an election. Mr.. Mclean is one Of the
strongestmen in the district, and has
many personal friends in all the coun-
ties where he is a candidate and will
easily win the place for which he is
aspirant..
For many years Mr.. Mclean has
held different offices in his own town
and has been instrumental in no small
degree in the success attained by the
Republican party in both county and
State politics. In allowing his name to
be used in connection with the office of
representative he is acceding to the
wishes of his many friends and we pre-
dict that his election is a foregone con-
clusion.-Anoka Herald.
=, F. G.. Mclean has filed his certifi-
cate as candidate for the legislature
from Anoka county. He will probably
have mo opposition, and his nomination
is assured. Mr.. Mclean will prove a
strong candidate, and will have the
support of all Republicans.-Anoka

AT TIMES

one becomes tired of white bread and
naturally turns to whole wheat bread
or bread made from the entire wheat.
Purina Mills entire wheat flour makes
splendid quality of bread, with rich
nutty flavor, which makes ordinary
wheat bread seem tasteless and in
sipid. Purina Mills entire wheat flour
is all food, and nothing but food, be-
cause it contains all the nutriment of
the whole wheat kernel and none of
the indigestible outer shell.

A GOOD ROADS: INQUIRY
MADE BY THE GOVERNMENT
"A Suggestion That the Prisoners of

From The journal Bureau, Room. IS. 1'oa
BuiIditg, Washtngton
Washington, Aug 20.--It is a rule of the
postof1ce department that rural free de-
livery will not be ordered for a section Of
the country in which the roads are not up
to a certain standard, The result of the
enforcement of his rule is that local au
thorities who had not done anything on
the subject of road Improvement for many
years are bestirring themselves.
Cooperating with the rural free de-
livery department is the department of
public roads inquiries, which works under
the direction of the secretary of agricul-
ture. The general government withdrew
from the field of road construction in 1882,
after it had spent about $7,000,000 on the
national road running through Indianapo-
lis, but it Is anxious to act in an advisory
capacity. Eight years ago congress appro-
priated a small sum Of money for the
purpose of tnstit uting sort, OF inquiry
into the prevailing condition of things
pertaining to road building. This appro-
priation has been continued from year to
year and increased during the last two
years Secretary Wilson's view Is that
the general government can perform Ger
tain duties pertaining to scientific road
building better than any other agency.
The department of agriculture has es-
tablished here mechanical and chemical
laboratory for testing road building ma
terials from all parts of the country.
| Professor L. W. Page, formerly of Har-
ward university is in charge Of the lab
ratory and has test ed many samples of
rocks without charge.
The head of the public reads inquiries

adopted, Mr.. Dodge says, the national

labor will be removed by withdrawing

opinion of the Filipino leader, too far
