WEATHER MADE NEW
JUNE RECORD
November Weather Prevails Over the
Entire Eastern Portion of the
Country, and Cannot Be
Explained by Weather
Sharps.

Without any good and sufficient reason
November blew III TO Atlanta and claimed
the June weather for her own.
CIasically speaking, something is very
over ripe in Denmark so far as the
weather is concerned and the same condi-
tons are pertinently, painfully true in
Atlanta
What with tornadoes, foods and IN
precedented temperatures, the elements
have taken the ma tier of meteorological
maladmnistratio into their own hands
along the general lines of the late Com
modore Vanderbiit's platform of the
public be id
Coolest June on Record.
Last Friday was the coolest June y in
the records OF Atlanta weather bureau,
that stretch backward in the realms of
time for more than twenty-five years
with a minimum temperature OF 81 de
grees, "a maximum of 60 degrees and
mean temperature of GO degrees, 1t was
first for GOODNESS and comparatively
speaking there was no second.
The lowest temperature for any pre-
vious June Il was 50 in 1881 and the next
was 81, in 1892.
And so FAR as the coolest weather re-
corded in any day in June Fridays fig
ures proceeded to crowd all previous rec
ords. There was a June l. back in 1889,
when the mecUy sank to 80 and then
jumped up the tube again the same day
to 70, with mean temperature in more
senses than one. Of 81 degrees. Then there
was another June /. in 1894. with a mini
mum of 4G ana a mean temperature OF 50.
These two were the closest rivals Of last
I Nri fo,- all Inn
over twenty-five years
And still there are some people who
in the very face OF the weather reports
wonder at the increase in crime.
Really Fridays weather had very
few charms for the ordinary citizen ana
as for the poor June bride she Went
marching Hymen-Ward with a tlmy
iiimsy wedding gown and cold chill
while the notes Of the matrimonial pro-
cession from Lohengrin, figuratively
speaking, froze the tears Of fond mothers
and we'll wishing friends.
Baseball Fans Frozen.
1t was . sad day.
Thousands of baseball fans all over the
country started for baseball parks only
to find the diamond gods blowing on
their unmitted fingers with a postpone
ment of games on account OF cold wealth
er, a state OF affairs unparalleled NJ this
time in June.
If there is any comfort in the misery
company combination. Atlanta has 1t in
the fact that the wind that blew cold
at the corner of Peachtree and Marietta
streets blew colder still al the corner OF
Monroe and Dearborn streets In Chicago.
1t was in this lake region and along the
Ohio valley that the lowest temperatures
were registered and they were only
very few points lower than Atlanta; In
fact, the average temperatures in those
vicinities .gere only 81 and 81 degrees,
And while the mercury nirted with the
bulb a the bottom of the thermometer
the wind blew. Blew at raie OF 50
miles that swept all Georgia from the
shores Of Tybee to the Blue Rldge noun
tains OF Dade county.
The minimum Of yesterdays tempera-
ture of 81 was reached at o'clock IN
the morning and the 53-mile gait OF
AeoIus busted the cOrnices OF the At
Ianta sky scrapers at 1880 O'Clock in the
afternoon.
And late last night it wasn't over, not
bv any means. 1t went whistling around
the weather bureau in the fourteenth
story of the Empire building with the
whistling shrieking tones OF full gale
working it's way through the rigging OF
a sailing ship at sea or the melodramalic
means that are the regulation cue for
the villain to proceed upon the stage and
with low lights and soft music do his
worst.
Perhaps some Georgia novelist will
start a story with description of last
evening. such as 1T was a cold and
nasty night the wind pronounced IN
the poetic way of wynd howled dismal
Nv rocking the windows to and fro in
their easements" and all that sort OF rot
But the undeniablc, indiSputable fact
remains that it was cold-quite cold
