June, 1908, Remarkable Month.-The
Baltimore american of Wednesday said: THE
month of June, 1903, which came to a close
yesterday, made several records which were so
abnormal as to excite general comment.
When the month started a drouth which had
lasted nearly eight weeks, and which threat
ened disaster to crops of many kinds, still pre-
vailed. In some parts of the country the trees
and foliage had become as dry as finder, and
forest fires swept over hundreds OF acres OF
land, destroying all that lay in their path.
June came in with week of cloudy days, but,
it was not until the 9TH that the heavens open
ed on this part of the country, not only break
ing the drouth and putting out all the fires,
but causing many rivers to overflow their
banks and flooding large extent of territory.
Beginning with the first week, June kept up
its rainy record all the month through, giving
us but six clear daysin the whole thirty. The
last day was the clearest of the lot, and in
many respects the most pleasant. X
The unreasonable weather of the month
proved drag to business of many kinds, and
costly hindrance to the expected rush to the
summer resorts. OF course, there is another
and a better side to the June picture, but its
fires and floods, its cloudbursts and tornadoes,
its tragedies abroad and at home, stands out so
prominent as almost to hide the good deeds
which form part of its remarkable record"
