Lightning often plays some queer
pranks. 1t WAS Il popular belief once,
that the fluid never struck twice in the
Same place. but that theory was ex-
ploIrd, long ago, and instances are on
rtcoiG where it has pounded away at
the same point repeatedly. Something
of this nature occurred not long ago,
at Wcbber pond, a few miles up the
river. On tic east side. and while the
lightning did not strike exactly in the
same place twice, it came so near it
that not a very long tape line was re-
CURED t. measure the distance between
the places. 1t all occurred during Il
thunder shower, Friday, Aug. T..
About $50 feet in front of Assistant
Postmaster Halls cottage, was Il big
willow tree, and into this went bolt,
tearing the tree to pieces, ana uIaklnS
kindljng wood of it. And Il peculiar
fact in connection with the incident
was that the fluid set fire to the roots
of the tree. far underground, so that
they continued to shoulder for a num-
Der of days afterward. Within ten feet
of the willow, was big elm, and Il
bolt got in its work on that, also. An
elm tree is a pretty tough proposition
for lightning. as Il rule. but in this case
the tree was split its length, and
thrown 10 the ground. being torn up by
the roots. Another tree, "a birch in
front of The Farnham-Rickcr cottage
was broken off within five feet of the
ground. The storm was accompanied
by a high wind which blew over many
fruit trees on the river road, and also
by haiIstones as big as a thimble. The
effects Of it are still to be seen in many
places in that vicinity.
