TIDE BEATEN BY WIND.

If the half-gale which prevails in Bos-
ton today is responsible for damaged
headgear-more than one felt hat and
derby was seen this morning taking a
wild and delusive roll along the sidewalk.
street, or through puddles-it also is re-
sponsible. perhaps for saving property
from salt water. There is little doubt
that if the wind had blown just as
strongly from the east. instead of from
the northwest and west. the tide would
have risen higher than the barrier
which separate it from shore property
in more places than one.
According to schedule there was an ia
foot tide due at lbs this morning. which
is about as high as the harbor waters
ever rise under ordinary conditions. Last
night came full moon, and the action of
the full moon on the tide always tends
to increase the height of the rise. With
such a strong off-shore breeze, however.
the tide really arose to only eleven feet
this morning. or four inches below nor
NAL. Knowing that the wind had the
effect of driving back the waters to the
extent of four inches. it can readily be
conjectured that with an east wind the
waters would have risen considerably
more than like number of inches above
normal. which would have been above the
caplogs of seevral wharves. The most
damage would not have been on the
waterfront In such contingency. how
ever but rather in the Back Bay dis
tricts. among the residents along the
banks of the Charles river. The mum
dation of last year, a little later than
this, is well remembered by residents
there for cellars were afioat and much
damage resulted. Yesterday the tide was
a high one. and should the direction of
the wind change there may yet be
greater rise than that shown in almanac
figures.
The strong wind kicked up quite sea
in the upper harbor this morning, and
with gulls darling about. uttering their
piercing cries. whitecaps rolling and tum-
bling over each other or beating against
the sides of the feet of vessels anchored.
the spectacle gave tinge of wildness.
A number of the schOoners had double
anchors thrown out TO guard against
dragging IL was wise precaution to-
day, for. owing to the great number Of
vessels which came into the harbor yes
terday-seventy-one - there was little
space to spare. and dragging meant bring
ing up against another craft in short
order. with consequent damage to one
or both.-Boston Transcript.

Why? Because if he had been nomi-

room would have been filled with Chris

and voted against him. Thus, If we
