warmer in western sections, the barometer will

country from about the 9th to the 9th. On and

!, "A reactiOnary storm period will be central ON
tne12th and 18th, with the moon at new and ex-
irene north declination on the 18th. The dis
will run over into this period The temperature
WI rise greatly and the barometer will fall to
S seo readings on and touching the 18th, with
L1any electrical storms in transits from west to

Mefcury braces which fact will not only add to
ane intensity of the disturbances. but will in
crease the probability of continued spell of
Lnreatening, stormy weather. Normally the
temperature would fall the barometer rise and

appear; but the chances of continued thunder
showers, with here and there storms of violent
prport1ons are good for many days, reaching
mo and through the next regular storm period. |
The next storm period is central on the 18th,
that the two periods combine their influences
rom the 10Th to the 2lst. This period is also |
psar the center of the summer solstice. en-
praing the moons perigee on the 10Th, and also |
moon atfirst Quater and on the celestial equator
on the 29h. All these causes conspiring within |
the COMPASS of this storm period, the chances |
for genenl, heavy and even dangerous storms |
are multinied greatly at this time. The crises |
OF tnls perpd will fall from about Saturday, 18th,
70 tuesday 2lst, the storms centering more de- |
cidedly on and touching the 10th. Look for |
startling ami continuous displays of lightning |
t,nrougnont he nights at this period, and most
HKely IOr mlny days through all the central |
parts of the month.
ut is well Il remember that the greater part
of this summer solstice lightning-that is, when |
in the form ofwhat is known as sheet Nqhlnin0- |
is entirely harmless. At this season banks of /
summer clouds often float and hang all round
nights, emitting ontinuous flashes that illumin-
ate the night like fourth of July pyrotechnics
or painful apprehension at such displays as they
are not in the leait dangerous. The on-coming,
concentrated thunder storm at this season Is |
very different, ard calls for all possible pru-
dence

Judge Burke Talks to Graduating
Nurses.-Judge N. Charles Burke, of Balti-
more county, was the principal speaker at the
graduating exercises ofthe Baltimore City Hos
oital Training School for Nurses, which took
,lace at the hospital on Tuesday afternoon
lie commenced by stating that in the Book of
Proverbs was to be found the memorable de-
eription of sthe wise woman and asserting
ypes or womaHfi60ds wnftr nave FOUND favor
n our social life. The Judge said, in part:
Now there is nothing said in this scripture
deal of the wise woman about equality, poit-
cal or otherwise; nothing about her right to
vote, nor to hold political Office. She is not
described as the aggressive. self-assertive, self
pinionated, loquacious female with which the
world is afflicted as punishment for its sins.
Ior hes she anything in common with that
'ther large class who regard their husbands as
ppendages, Insignificant at all time and never
important any time. Neither does she belong
o that class with which the world is familiar,
he idle, indolent, supercilious and ridiculous
woman, surrounded by luxury absorbed in
'anity, devoted to pleasure and conformed in
Ter conduct to the highest standards of our
modern paganism. The ideal woman as de-
cribed in the Book of Proverbs belongs to
leither of these classes. She is the active, in
ustrious valiant, discreet and prudent wo-
nan, GENTLE sympathetic and charitable, whose
hief pleasure and delight lay in the discharge
f duty. Like yourselves, she is numbered
mong the woman.workers of the world. |

In conclusion Judge Burke remarked upon
be success that had attended feminine efforts,
nd paid high tribute to the nursing prefes-
ion, giving the graduates some practical, good
dvice.
Among the graduates was Miss E. Adele
,ond, daughter of Mr.. John Bond, a retired
armer of Western Run Valley, Baltimore
ounty, and Miss H. Densey MITCHELL daugh-
er of the late w. Frank Mitchell, of the Balti-
more county bar. Miss Bond won honorable
mention by gaining the highest average in the
