1t is a question whether this rain
business is all over with or not. Any
way during the night the rain stop
ped for a while and up to a late hour
this afternoon it has not started up
again. During a portion Of that time
the sun made a mighty effort to break
through the clouds. Since Sunday
afternoon there have been very
few moments when the rain was not
coming down either gently or in
punches. From Sunday afternoon IN
til this morning the precipitation has
amounted to 5-25 inches. Some
thought this was a greater precipita-
ton than a year ago at this time, blu
such is not the case. Last year the
precipitation in just twenty-fou1
hours amounted to $50 inches, while
it has taken a little over two days and
two nights to produce the 5.25
inches.
