greatest possible injury would rejoice TO see the
establish hment Of Filipino independence Nothing
else that could be planned done at this time
would be productive OF more strife or misery.
Were Independence announced. the alleged gov

tary oligarchy. The country would be torn by
contending factions Revolution would follow Tevo-

power would be obtained by intrigue. force and
assassination. The worst element would soon OBJ

Though ii would not be wise to attach too
much prophetic significance TO the delightfully."-
cool weather Of the last two days it is certainly
suggestive of autumn. Sometimes the latter

Sometimes it is prematurely early The weather
shows sublime contempt for the equinox and

peculisrities of September this year. review
of the summer which Is now practically ended
cannot be regarded out of place
Here in the East there has been a reasonably
close conformity to the average for the pre-
ceding thirty years. The impression prevails
that the temperature for the last three months
has been abnormally low. hut the reports of
the local weather bureau indicate that such
was not the case in this city. June showed n
deficiency of only 03 degree. and July had an
excess of exactly the same amount Taking
August as a whole, the mean temperature fell
only 04 degree below the standard, and the
insufficiency seems TO have been cbargeable 20
the last five or six days Of the month. Stats.
tics for humidity are not available but there
can be little doubt that during both July and
August the air contained much less vapor than
is common in summer. The comfort not 10 say

ner, but apparently changed its mind after
third of the month had elapsed. An almost
constant succession of showers-some of Them
heavy-during the first eleven days was fol.
lowed by an equally continuous absence of
rain. When the score closed there was an ex-
cess Of about two and n half inches but even
this had its compensations. Vegetation In the
parks and surrounding country has kept much
fresher than is common in August In more
respects than Que the summer has been n
charming one.
In consequence Of the opening OF the public
schools early in September. many people who
get away from the city for a vacation are
compelled 10 return before the month is far
advanced That necessity is much 10 be re-
sretted. No more attractive season for travel
