OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
WEATHER BUREAUS PREDICTION
FOR TOMORROW.
Conditions May Continue Until Satur-
day-The Storm Covers
Wide Area.

This city has had plentitude of rain In
the past few days, and the probability Is
that 1t will continue to have 1t for several
days longer. The forecaster Of the weather
bureau is of the opinion that alternate
showers and sunshine may be expected all
day tomorrow and perhaps the next day.
Many picnic or other open-air party has
been broken up this week by the rams,
which have extended over wire area,
taking in part of Pennsylvania on the
north, Ohio the west and many Of the
southeastern states.
The rainfall, with the exception of that
yesterday morning, has not been very
heavy at any one time. The streams
through the country have not risen to any
great extent and there are no reports of
washouts The recent fall of water will
nevertheless serve to keep the waters Of
the Potomac river from clearing and will
once more battle the fishermen who have
been waiting in vain nearly all summer for
a good opportunity to entice the wary and
gamey bass onto their hooks.

Favorable to Weather Prophets.

This is a good time for person to gain
a reputation as a weather prophet. For II
the sky be clear and some one inquiries,
DO you think it is going to rain?'' all that
1t is necessary to say is Yes 1t is sure
to be raining in an hour or so. And then.
if one is asked, DO you think 1t is going
to clear up?' he need only say, Il believe
it will and he will be right. The fore
caster says it will be alternate rain and
sunshine for a while, so let the amateur
prophets get to work
On account of the hot weather which has
been prevalent during the past few weeks
the rain is not altogether unwelcome, ex
cept to the farmers, who have been ac-
customed at this season TO make hay
while the sun Shines" They don't mind,
however. the effect upon growing crops.
In the city raincoats, rubber shoes and
felt hats have in large measure replaced
the bright and light attire of midsummer,
the fear of a wetting having taken pos
session of almost every one. The usual
skurrying fer umbrellas and the usual ex-
changes of those articles are in progress
once more from day to day.

cjded by the executive committee Of the
Worlds fair, because Mr. Nehaus, WHO
sold the exposition the original mod |
for S4,000. demanded additional pay
when told that it was to be made per-
manent.
The original model was one foot
high, and that exhibited on the Plaza
of st. Louis at the Worlds fair was en-
Targed from il Mr. Niehaus said this
could not be done, and that he would
charge $4,000 for making large one;
SO the association took charge of the
work. The result w@s a statue which
was pronounced more artistic than the
original
Mr.. Nehaus' demand for additional
morey came as a surprise to the COM
mittee. The letter informing him that
the statue had been selected as per-
mancnt exhibit was merely congratu-
Iatory.
