Five days before the great storm
struck Pensacola and Mobile in Septem-
Der it's existence and progress were an
nounced by the weather bureau IN THESE
words: "a tropical disturbance was
reported Saturday afternoon as deyel,
oplng south of the Grand Cayman'
probable direction northwest by way
of Yucatan channel" The next day
it's passage through the channel into
the Gulf was noted, and its presence
in the Gulf was reported the day after.
On Sept. 25, the fourth day, the fore
cast said that it seemed probable that
the storm would be felt somewhere be-
tween the mouth of the Mississippi and
the west coast of Florida within TWEEN
ty-four or thirty-six hours. 1t reached
Pensacola the next day, and on the
sixth day news of the great damage
done In Pensacola and Mobile was tel
egraphed all over the country. Resi-
dents In the Gulf ports gave little heed
to the warnings, and many lives and
much property were consequently lost.
Similar conditions prevailed at<the time
of the inundation of Galveston. The
people were warned of the storm but
went about their business as usual.
1t Is not possible to beat back the sea
when 1t is lashed into fury, but ship
ping can be anchored IN a safe harbor
and persons and property In exposed
positions can be removed to places OF
greater safety. The weather bureau
was not established to give employ
ment to various persons who liked tt
amuse themselves by making guesses
about the approach of storms. 1t II
conducted by practical and experienced
men trained in the science of meteor
ology. Their predictions are based OF
well-established principles, vindicatet
by long series of experiments. An er
roneous forecast Is the exception, ant
is due to the appearance of unexpectel
forces to defect air currents ant
change barometric pressure. Nearly,
not quite, all great storms are foretol'
many hours, and sometimes many days
in advance. 1t Is much safer to hee'
the warnings Of the weather burea
than to laugh at them. The farme
who cuts his hay when pleasant day
are predicted Is more likely to get
cured and safely under cover than hi
neighbor who ignores the daily bullt
tins from Washington.

CITY HALLS HIDDEN OVEN.
II Was Used Long Ago to Cook Hot

II Was Used Long Ago to Cook Hot
pies for New York Aldermen.
Back of one oak panel in the west
ern wall of the committee room adJoin-
ing the Aldermen's chamber was found
Yesterday a bakers oven OF long ago.
Alderman Frank Bowling was chatting
with some friends in the room when ne
happened to notice that the upper part
of the panel was fitted with hinges.
"Tbere must be something behind
there; none of the other panels has
hinge" Mr.. Bowling remarked after ne
had gone on an exploring tour around
the room. 1t was suggested by one Of
the group that it might be another Sc
cret stairway, one similar to that fouhu
when the city hall was renovated TWO
years ago, leading from the old Councii
chamber down winding way to a
small outlet on the north side OF the
hall. Tradition has 1t that the stair
case was used by Aldermen who after
voting against the interests OF their
constituents escaped by this staircase.
Curious to learn what was hidden
behind the panel Mr.. Dowling ana MS
friends began to pry it open. SO MANY
coats of paint had been put upon 1t til :
tools were necessary to force 1t, and
when 1t was finally raised there was
found an old-fashioned oven built intc
the three-foot brick wall, with small
chimney running to the roof. The oven
is about two feet deep by two feet wide
and it was half filled with ashes. II
has a heavy antique iron door httee
with big fastening clamps.
| Some of the discoverers were mystl
fed as to how the oven was heated
There was no sign of a place for bulld
ing a fire. Marty Reese, the CUSTODIAN
of the city hall for over a quarter OF
century. was sent for and he delivered
this lecture, which explained every
thing:

Through unwarrantable fear of catch, |
ing cold from every breath Of air, many |
people house themselves, both day and
night, In rooms and apartments that
are little better than alright cham
bers. They force themselves to breathe
an atmosphere that is deficient In oxy-
gen and contaminated with carbonic
acid and other poisonous gases, And,
as a rule, they have their rooms ex-
cessively warm. good fire in an open
fireplace may carry part of the contain
mated air away with the smoke, but
steam radiators and other heating de-
vices which require neither air ducts
nor fiues In no way diminish the Inn
purity.
The effects of breathing vitiated air
are especially pernicious to the health
of children. They are generally mani
tested first In the nervous system by
the production of drowsiness and men,
tai dullness. Poisonous matters that
are normally exhaled by the lungs and
skin are retained In increasing quantl-
ties in the blood. They render 1t i'm
pure. and form of anemia Is soon
produced This becomes apparent IN
pallor of countenance; languor, weak
ness, depression and loss of appetite.
The power of resisting disease is dl-
minished and q condition Of chronic In
yalidism is ultimately developed.
| The dread of drafts now becomes JUS
tifable, for, in the debllitated state OF
the system, even the currents of cold
air that descend from the windows and
walls increase the susceptibility to In

story told in New York divorce court

Fifteen boys whose ages ranged from
IL to 10 years formed a jesse james
Club at Stroudsburg, Pa, recently and
created some excitement by starting
out for the purpose of robbing and

each of the boys had vigorous father

business, but had good old-fashione1

Stroudsburg's Jesse James Club has
