although the present month has
been much cooler than the average for
I a number of years. said Assistant OBJ
| server Roche of the Weather Bureau,
| Portland Saturday, 'the year as a
| whole up to date has been warmer than
| last year. Up to Thursday of this
| week the temperature for the year has
been 233 degrees above the normal,
while year ago at this time it was
\ just that number of degrees behind the
| normal. The three hot days, the Cd, Sd
and 4th. which we have had this month
| helped out on the average, for with the
exception of these three days there has
been a deficiency each day of from
| three to eight degrees. Last year,
| during the month of June, up to the
| 18th, their were eight days when the
| temperature was above 80, but this
year the only time when this has happen
ed has been on the three hot days thatI
have noted. Regarding the rainfall the
present month is already ahead Of last
| month. but in other parts of the state
| il is not as much as it was last month";"
