AB6-Weather Editor: The following is
aR answer to the question How cold
must il be to be twice as cold as de-
grees above zerO?' Temperatures are
measured in degrees above the absolute
zero, which is 40 % degrees below zero.
Consequently a temperature of 2 degrees
above zero would be 462 2-S degrees above
the absolute zer). Twice as cold would.
therefore, be One-half Of this, or 81 1-3

PLAGUE OF BLACK
SNAKES AND CATS
"a. D, McKIN2ION THOUGHT HE
HAD 'EM FOR A WHILE ON
SUNDAY LAST.
Special to The journal.

McKinnonville, June, 2S.-It seems
that some evil spirit is visiting Mr.. A.
ID. McKinnon's place with a plague of
cats and snakes instead Of toads and
locusts as were the Egyptians in olden
times. Sunday morning while Mr..
McKinnOn was sitting on the gallery
reading his paper, he heard noise
among the chickens and looking up
saw a large snake crossing the YARD.
The presence of a snake so near the
house caused much confusion among
the children and after a little battling
and excitement it was killed and
thrown out Of the yard. Mr.. McKin-
non resumed his paper and in a few
minutes upon looking up exclaimed
another snake" and sure enough
crossing the yard again was another.
He quickly disposed of his snakeship
and continued to read and finG snakes
until he had found four right in front
Of his door step. They all took it
single file coming one at a time, and
belonged to the harmless black snake
family and caused no alarm.
However Mr.. McKinnOn says he does
not care to be on such social terms
with them. He took it for a social
call as they didn't appear belligerent
gusC as the fourth snake was disposed
of and he was beginning to think he
would have to cry snakes" the rest of

CONDUCTOR IS
LIABLE TO
ARREST
If He Allows a PerSCn to Smoke
on a Street Car Under the
New Law.

Under the new anti-smoking street
car law, conductor is liable to ar
rest and punishment if he allows a
person TO smoke on the car of which
he is in charge. and it is not probable
now that the law is effective, that
there will be many violations.
Under the new law the conductors
are clothed with police power and can
arrest parties for violating the law or
put them off the car If they fail to
do so, then they themselves are liable.
The law, as approved yesterday by
the mayor, is as follows:
AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO
SMOKING ON STREET CARS IN
OPERATION WITHIN THE CITY
OF PENSACOLA.
BE 1T ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR
AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

smoking on Street Cars. which was
approved January 25. 1906, shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding
Twenty-Five ($25y0O) Dollars, or by
Imprisonment not exceeding Thirty
900 days.
Section 2. That for the purpose
of enforcing the provisions Of this
Ordinance. conductors or other persons
