NOT HERE YET, BUTTS COMING
WEATHER BUREAU INSISTS
THAT STORM is ON THE WAY.
Rain, Possibly Sleet, and a Mercury
Drop of Thirty Degrees on
the Program.

The drop of thirty degrees in the tenn
perature and the rain. predicted yester-
day by the weather bureau. did not ar
rive on schedule time. but. according to
a statement made by Prof. Garriott today.
1t S coming. Asked when it will prob
ably arrive, the forecaster said the rain
may begin at any moment and a drop
of from twenty-five to thirty degrees in
the mercury is expected by tomorrow
m" rning.
There will not be any cold wave con-
ditions, the weather man said. for the
minimum thermometer reading this
morning was sixty. and the fall indicated
will not carry the temperatur far below
the freezing point
The stormy conditions continue in the
middle west and southwest. and this
morning squally conditions in and about
Pittsburg put many of the telegraph
wires out of commission. Wires are also
down in the southwestern states and
messages are being sent with difficulty.
The local managers of the telegraph
companies reported today that heavy
storm. in which sleet is a marked feature.
has put practically all the wires to the
west out of business. At the Western
Union Office it was stated that the COM
pany has no wires west of Pittsburg by
way of Chicago.
AT the Postal main office the chief
operator said:
Our wires are in bad shape west of
Cleveland. In order to send business to
the far west we have to dispatch IT via
Canada. The heavy storm of sleet must
be entering western New York. as the
wires in that section are also in trouble
All our wires to Chicago are down eX-
cept a single line from Birmingham. Ala
We have a single wire TO Pittsburg and
another to Cleveland.
The storm which is approaching this
city Is said TO be travelling at a rather
uncertain gait. but it Is of such energy
that 1t will reach here by tonight or to-
morrow and dissipate the enervating
spring conditions that have been In evil
dence hereaboutS several days. So
springlike has the weather been that in
sect life has developed in the suburban
places. flowers are blooming on the south
side of eminences. and the notes of the
early songbirds are heard in the trees and
shrubbery. The presence of wasps and
bees has been particularly noticeable.
