OTHER BAD SPRINGS
THIS is NOT THE WORST EVER
AS RECORDS DO SHOW.
That of Year Ago Was Not Far
From Pleasant; Average April
Weather for Years Back; the
st. Paul Ozone Observer Reta1ls
Some Stern Facts and Figures That
One Cannot Very Well Dispute.

st. Paul May 3.-The man who says
that this is the worst spring he ever
saw had better take a back seattle
records are against him.
Forecaster j. n Ryker completed the
summary of April weather yesterday,
and the average temperature for the
month was 80. just two years ago, II
people will think back that far it was
worse, for the average then was 81.
But both were bad enough, for the
records show warmer Aprils until back
in 1898, when the average was 80
Then they have to go back to 1873
and 1874 before they find any more
cold springs. Those years the aver
ages were SO and 30 respectively.
Average April Weather.
The average April temperature since
the St. Paul office was started is 46.
The highest temperature last month
was So on the 18th, and the lowest Is
on the 9th.
The precipitation for the month was
PAP inches, and it took los inches of
amount of water A year ago April
| brought down 4.23 inches of water, two
years ago l.32. The average for thirty
nine years is 239, just small frac-
ton under the precipitation last month
The average wind velocity was 1872
miles, the maximum so. The number
of clear days was six, partly cloudy
nineteen and cloudy five.
What Will May Bring?
What May will bring no one knows.
The first day of May was considerable
of an improvement over the last day
of April, and the weather man prom
Uses still better for today. The Their
mometer will not get up much until
this afternoon, but the clouds which
started clearing away yesterday will
be all gone today, it is expected.
There is warm weather lowering
around Montana, and it is coming this
way gradually, but it will take u
couple of days before the full effect of
it is felt.
Warm Weather Will Come.
The low barometer center, winch mas
caused all the storm and trouble, was
lowering over Lake Superior yesterday
and moving slowly northeastward. The
low center was down at Kansas City
couple of days ago, and instead of
going straight east took a course to
the northeast, which partly explained
the delay of the snow and cold in
leaving this section.
