The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-03-04

Something serious has evidently happenedto
Eva, but the weather man refuses to answer
by advice of counse when asked about it.
The excitement is dying dow when the
Albany observer let's the pill go out long
enough to get this or the wire:
Fish gallop daytime"
Nobody denies this statement even II
it does come from Albany. It's a funny
thing to think about for an outsider, but it
doesn't get even a smile in the weather
office.
Then the man at Cleveland feels he is
being overlooked. The best he can give
us Is ar ice fog, which is presumably the
common or garden variety. His telegram
reads:
"Nullify lucky gybing ice fog"
This probably account for the warm
p weather this winter. A gybing ice fog
ought to be a fairly interesting spectacle,
but one is at a loss to tell whether the Cleve-
land man is boasting or sorry his town is
oppressed by it.
Rochester weather evidently produced
an appetite, and the restaurants were closed
the day this wire was received:
Mutton, mulberry, otter"
The New York weather man, not being
a chef, filed thetelegram with silent dignity.
Then the Boston man slipped into the tele.
graph station in a veHgeful mood and wired
in haste:
Marlboro guy Eddy" G
Why Marlboro should do this is not plain.
Anyhow, the local weather man refused to
take any hand in it, and the message vent
up in the files. Probably, some mysterious
reference to Mrs. Eddy, but how SHOULD a
New Yorker know the details?
The next message from Pittsburg is en-
tirely hopeless. 1t is brief, and possibly
pregnant with meaning. 1t says:
Goal artist upcast eternal"
r. DL,lol.l-1,a ~ uz.lz. l...u.
seems to apologize for not taking a more
active participation in shaping the weather.
He says:
Unfit gall organ"
This may mean a lot Of things, but the
Philadelphia man is excused because the
weather is pretty decent and he can stay out
Of it until he feels bette r.
Speaking of infrmities, the next message
brought a request that sounds like a sailors
cussing. 1t might mean something, but
it vas an extraordinary request. 1t came
in from Charleston, reading. D
-Finback my bandyleg."
The next statement was important, If
true. II licked in from st. Louis, where the
weather observer seems to be a botanist
as we'll as a dispenser of breeZes. He an
nounced calmly that:
Guardian fanfoot is budding"
A budding fanfoot Is probably much
more interesting than a matured one, al
though eithor would be regarded in New
York with curiosity.
In the report OF the Atlanta man mention
Of Lula was made, showing the young
lady does not confinc her activities to any
one locality. Atlanta says:
Birmingham Lula hung dust brush.
Immigrate.'
OF course some people might hesitate
under the somewhat cloudy conditions in
the message, but il is considered proper
form in weather circles to immigrate when
called upon to do 80.
A crime on the high seas is mentioned in
the next MESA ge. 1t may be some vim
dictive person trying to ruin the seaside
resort business by reporting the death Of
the main attraction, which in this @, se is
not a sea serpent hut a sea nymph. The
wire comes from Tampa, Fla, and reads:
birmingham lungfsh hung sea nymph
Emily"
One would judge from this that summer
