TWAS A SCORCtIER.
And Electricity Plays Some Peculiar
Franks.

A ScOrcher? Well some say so. 1t
certainly was warm enough to suit
most people, and nobody was noticed
trying to keep warm. 1t was a touch
of genuine dog-day weather and it
wilted collars and men and made people
cross grained generally. All through
the forenoon Old Sol was ensconced be-
hind a filmy pail of clouds which
seemed to magnify the heat waves and
cut off every breadth of air from swell
tering humanity. During the six hours
i'm the middle of the day the tempera :
tnre stood all the way from 81 to 90,
according to the man VINO happened
along so far. Then shortly after noon
the clouds began to gather together and
a thunder shower came up on short
notice. There was little rain and little
wind, but the electricity display was Of
a calibre which made some of the
bravest look cowel. '3 .f F,
There was one terrific crack of thun-
der, coming as near from n clear sky
as one could. for there had been little
previous to it. This was followed by a
vivid flash of lightning which to date
has been reported striking In five
places. 1t caught onto the trolley wire
in Temple street and ran along 1t. a
vivid ball of fire. 1t took i'm the flag
pole at the south end OF the Colby
campus and badly splintered it. over
across the river in Winslow it stripped
several limbs from tree. A telegraph
pole on College avenue had a crOss-arm
Knocked off. and the electric fluid did
stunts about the presses in the printing
office of the City Job Print in the new
Savings Bank building. According to
the general opinion this one great flash
was responsible for all the mischief
The shower cooled the air off for a
time, but the last of the afternoon 1t
was sitting hot and all through the
evening people awaited themselves Of
the verandas and door steps. The cleo
trio cars were 4 great attraction for
those wishing to get cooled off and both
lines were literally patronized, and
front seat positions were at a prem
ium.
This is certainly great weather for
the summer hotel proprietors and IL 1t
lasts. the season will be the best for
several years. There was a general
exodus from the city, Sunday, and ev-
erybody who had summer cottage or
could get away to the lakeside made it
point to do so. The resorts in the vi
