WEATHER AT WORLDS FAIR

Cool Nishts and Delightful Indian
Summer to Be Expected at St. Louis.
Usually the warmest month of the
year, July proved o'be one Of the most
pleasant of the Worlds Fair season,
the average temperate re being CT de-
by either Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia, Cincinnati or Chicago The
weather bureau records show that the
temperatures in st. Louis during July
We're just between the extremes re-
corded Mt New Orleans and st. Paul,
cities located at great variance.
August in st. Louis Is month of
cool nights, and September and Octo-
| her are the most dali0htfnl n""ths Of
the year. 1t is that period known as
Indian summer, when the foliage and
birds llnger to challenge the coming
winter Nowhere on the American con-
tinent is there spot more delightful
than the Worlds Fair city, gard N
of blooming flowers and spraying foun-
tains.
st. Louis, like all cities experienced
highest temperature recorded was 93
degrees against "a degrees registered
by the thermometer at Chicago. On
the same day the mercury rose to so
degrees in Philadelphia, and scores of
heat prostrations were reported from
New York and Boston.
The relative humidity shows st.
Louis to be about normal. Assuming
absolutely no moisture in the atmos-
phere to be zero and absolute wetness to
be 100, the relative humidities for July,
taken from the records Of more thai
twenty years, Boston shows 7O.6, New
York 1872, Philadelphia CSC, Cincin-
natl GAG, Chicago 600 and st. Louis
G6.3. The same degree Of heat in two
places, with different degrees Of hu-
midity, would cause 1t to seem the
hotter at the point Of greater density.
st. Louis may therefore rightly claim
to be summer resort this summer,
positively one Of the most comfortable
and delightful places on the map.

AT the same time, it is worth re-
membering that when Republican
campaigners in Vermont "get out
the vote" they get proportionately
large margin TO their credit. The
problem they have on hand is SIM
pie enough. 1t does not include
any necessity tor debate as to the
merits OF the case presented. 1t is
solved when the inertia of those who
would otherwise stay at home has
been overcome. The weather was
propitious yesterday. That helped.
An unusually large vote was polled.
That settled it. sect them to the
ballot boxes and they'll do the rest
such is the force of lifelong habit
in Vermont" said one of the man
ayers, who cannot be accused of not
knowing what he talked about. He
told the whole story.-Brooklyn

Republican leaders say their plu-
rality in Maine is much above their
expectations, but their before-election
estimate was very low. The Repub-
lican plurality is now put at about
$1,000, a gain of 5 per cent over that
of 1900, while the increase in the
Democratic vote is "a per cent, a
figure indicating that the Pine Tree
Democracy is getting together again.
They will have four senators to one
last year, and 80 members of the
house, against 20 last year The
Democrats, therefore, can take as
much real satisfaction in the result
of Mondays vote as the opposition
