THE ELKs' TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
1T is said that fully 1900 persons
were prostratedat Philadelphia, dur
ing Elks' parade, on the 18th ult.
This was due to the magnitude of
pageant with the mercury at % in
the shade. There were said to have
been so. 900 men in line, and several
hundred thousand men. women and
children collected on the streets to
witness the grand march, or on the
so grand stands, erected on the line.
Soon after = o'clock, the Exalted
Ruler of Philadelphia lodge, tele-
phoned Grand Exalted Ruler Melvin,
from st. Joseph hospital, In the
name of humanity have the parade
stopped. The hospitals are full,
many of the doctors and nurses are
victims of the heat, and cannot give
attention to the overwhelming num-
Der of patients being brought in. .
But Melvin could not be reached in
the crowd. A drenching rain fell
before the procession had completed
its march. which gave some relief.
Notwithstanding the immense num-
Der of prostrations, it is indeed fortu-
nate that only one death was re-
corded.

nest in arriving at such q confident
assurance of the hellish import of an
act that dates back to the natal
morn.
In biblical times, probably no Gus
tom was more used as a symbol OF
many shades of religious fervor than
the kiss. 1t meant reverence and
subsection to superior (See ! Sam.
10, /; / Kings Ii. Is; Luke Z. 40;
of spiritual submission Psalms 2, l2);
of love and affection Gen. y, "a

peace Psalms So, 100.
Now it really seems that custom
sanctioned by even this meagre refer
ence to the many uses of the kiss as q
pious reminder of duty and obliga-
ton, that this characterization of the
custom as of devilish origin or sug-
gestiOn, is rather sweeping. The
record will bear us out that there are
even pastors who have kissed, with.
out any thought, we surmiSe, of il
being a religious duty, but are we to
classify them as possessed of devil

There Was q Hot Time.

Some queer things illustrate what

coast. In Portland, Tuesday. at
that temperature, the asphaltum
sidewalks melted and the passerby
was only held from inferno by thin
skin-covering, while passing over
the molten substratum. The iron
bridges became SO expanded by the
heat that the draws" could not be
operated. until the fire-boat had
cooled them with cOpiOus streams of
water. The extreme heat set off the

the same record was made in Port

late experience much more opprrs-
Sivc
Not only Portland, but Salem and
other cities ON the willamette. and
at Seattle, Olympia and all other
places on Puget Sound, the same cX
perience was felt. Reports from The
Dalles, Gray's Harbor, and other
widely separated points leave the as
surance that the extreme heat was
general all over the Northwest.
The weather Office in Portland ac-
counts for this experience by the fact
that the prevailing wind was from
the interior. instead of the coast, or
ocean, as is customary this time of
the year, preserving to some degree
the equilibrium of the temperature
ranges. In other words, Mr.. Bcals,
the District FOrecaster at Portland.
says: The high temperature eX-
perience was caused 10y the barOme
ter being low over the willamette
Valley and high over Eastern British
Columbia, and for this reason the
winds blow from the interior of the
continent and not from the ocean as
is usual at this season of the year.
Winds from the interior are always
hot in midsummer.
