anything was doug they saw big
bunch OF nay rotating rapidly hum
dred feet in the air, cucumber
screen which had also been scooped
up by the wind lowering around it
like a satellite.
The whirling mass Of horse fodder
looked like a balloon, the few specta-
tors said 1t stayed up several sec
onds and then the exhausted cyclone
dropped and scattered most of the
hay over the field much as it lay
when first cut, a portion of it land
ing over a fence in a nearby lane.
the cyclone confined its operations
to a very small area and did no dam
age beyond disarranging few hay
cocks.

laundry with outside entrance in the

There are four chambers In the second
