A WET MONTH.
Nearly as Much Rain Fell as During
The same Month for Four Years
Previous

Probably not in the memory of the
oldest resident have we experienced a
June Of more continuous rain than was
/ furnished 10y the month just passed.
Few questions were discussed with
greater vigor during the month than the
vtXed wea her question. Many specula-
tions as 90 the cause of the abnormal
conditions were advanced the more gem
eral one being that the continued rain
fan was directly due 10 vibrations in the
atmosphere caused by the eruption Of
Mount Pelee in Martinique. Meteoro-
Logical authorities deny this 20 be fact
and claim that the rain and cold were
caused 10y the cold strata of air, which
passed unusally close to the earth for
this season of the year.
Tue report for the month by the local
meteorological observing station, as fur-
nished by f. NJ Smith is interesting in
this connection. According TO this au.
tEority the month contained 20 days
when rain fell, the total fall for the
month reaching 6.37 inches, or 3 So
inches more than the normal rain fall
for June for this country. which is 2, 81
inches. During the four years previous
in 1898 there was fall of 2 80 inches, in
1899, l.02 inches,in 1900, l 20 inches and
in 1901, i.i0 inches making total of
G. 80 inches, or only 10 inches more than
the amount of water that fell during the
month of June in the present year.
A comparison of the mean tempera-
ture shows that June has not been al
unusually cold month for in 1897 the tenn
perature was SO degrees, in 1898. 81 3. in
1899, s. 8, in 1900, 90, and in 1901, 67.5
The greatest precipitation was noticed
on the LIST, when 80 inches fell. In
some places in Michigan where reports
have been given out, the precipitation
varies considerably from this place. and
though nearly all state that there were
more days when rain fell, the total pre-
cipitation has not been as great. Great
damage has oeen done TO crops, especial.
ly sugar beets. and the outlook is quite
dubious
