COOL, QUICK ACT OF
PATR0LMAN AVERTS
DANGER FROM FIRE

A serious accident was averted by
Patrolman Hoffman last night, and as
result Of his presence Of mind a
young woman on the electric float, the
Dreadful Octopus" escaped being Sc
Iiously burned when a defective wire
ignited the gauze drapery on the float,
setting fire TO the girls clothing.
The accident occurred as the float
was nearing Market street while going
north on Main street Hoffman, who
was standing near, noticed a tiny flame
in the gauze drapery, and almost inn
mediately the flames shot up and
ignited the dress Of the young woman,
who did not have an opportunity to
escape.
Hoffman sprang to the float and beat
out the fire in the young woman's
clothing, and then extinguished the fire
in the drapery. All those on the float
were in danger Of injury as the result
of the fire.
As a result of his efforts in eytin-
gushing the fire Hoffman sustained
severe burns on the fingers of his left
hand. He went to the receiving hos
pital, where oiled dressings were an

DIME MUSEUM ODD
JUMBLE OF MONSTROSITlES

Following the Sea Serpent" appeared
the Dime Museum" a curious medley
which puzzled even the closest observer.
At the rear of the float was a pipe
organ with large green pipes, illum-
mated by hundreds of lights, while in
front of the instrument was seated
what might have represented with
equal impartiality either Paderewsh or
Beethoven. -Four clowns also added to
the grotesque appearance of the setting
and performed tricks and sprung joshes
along the entire line of march. A large
drum occupied the center of the float
inscribed with the words, "Therell be
a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight"
The drum was presided over by a crea-
ture, whether it was a man or woman
was impossible to tell, who appeared
to have been imported from the heart
of the orient expressly for the occa-
sion. At the front of the float was a
mysterious box, which might we'll have
contained the devils turned loose by
Pandora, and was presided over by an
other equally weird being.
Bringing up the rear of the pro-
cession was old Maud. Maud, large as
life, or larger, Cy endeavoring to keep
clear of her heels and Miranda hastily
approaching with the wheelbarrow am
bulance. "Keerful, Cy," and "Oh, you
Maud" could be heard down the tight
ly packed line of onlookers tas Maud
viciously raised her heels in an effort
to lift Cy clear over the chicken yard
or to send him flying through the barn
door But Cy had grown more nimbe
than of old and cleverly lodged Maud $
heels at every swing, so that the old
mule was forced to content herself with
knocking the bark from the old tree
behind her. Miranda. with her wheel

ASTONISHED ELKS
REFUSE TO BELIEVE
THIS USUAL WEATHER

More than three -fourths of the vis-
itors now in Los Angeles refuse to be-
lieVe this weeks weather is not eX-
ceptionaI for Southern California, but
the weather man does not agree with
them.
1--WE are having simply normal
weather for July" said w. E. Bennett,
observer in charge of the local office
of the weather bureau. II have heard
a number of comments to the effect
that this must be unusually good
weather, even for Los Angeles, but
that is not the case. 1t is no better
than the average run OF summer days"
According to last years record at
the weather bureau the highest tenn
perature recorded in July was 81 de-
grees, the minimum was 50 degrees,
and the average temperature for the
month was 20 degrees. For August,
1908, the maximum at Los Angeles was
80 degrees, minimum 81 degrees,
monthly average 70 degrees. Last year
may be taken as a fair average for
this month as to temperature. The
records of the local weather bureau
run back to 1877, and the average July
temperature since that time has been
70 degrees, with no higher mean tenn
perature for any year since 1877 than
73 degrees.
Many of the visitors have gone
through the usual preliminaries OBJ
served by strangers in going out in the
morning with an umbrella, despite the
assurance of friends that high fog
is not as fierce as it looks and that it
never rains in July.
'You can laugh now, but we get the
laugh back on you Los Angeles people
when you come east said an Indiana
delegate. "Do you know that a Los
Angeles young lady who had never
been east went back there a year or
so ago at Christmas time to spend two
months, and what do you suppose she
brought in her trunk? Her parasol!

was undecided whether to keep COM
pany with the Elks or fly away to some
safer and more distant locality, but the
pretty maids, seated on top of the mon
ster. showed not the slightest consterna-
tion and gayly waved their greetings to
the crowd. The girls were dressed in
green costumes, as though to blend
tremendously with the colors of tho
dragon, and wore red chrysanthemums
in their hair, giving the entire float a
decidedly japanese effect.
The body of the float was set with
pale blue lights, while the dragon was
covered with white and red globes. The
eyes, as large as some of the Elk
badges, We're clusters of electric lights
and served to give the serpent a most
formidable appearance.

with one hand and kisses with the
other. The girls in waiting also were
charmingly attired, wearing elaborate
French gowns trimmed with green
hearts. In front of the queen stood
two tall lamps which cast soft ~ra-
dance over the entire float. There
were straight fushes and royal flushcs,
