POMONA, Aug. 30.-The intense
heat of yesterday attracted crowds to

iment band.
The park is growing in popularity as
public rendezvous and the city trus-
tees have provided literally for It's
continued Improvement during the
coming year, having appropriated sew
eral thousand dollars for the work at

for irrigating purposes. Improvements
in the Ganesha park tract adjacent to
the park on the south are progressing
rapidly and many lots are being sold

HOT DESERT AIR
FORCED ON CITY
UNUSUAL WEATHER CONDITION
EXPLAINED
PHENOMENA CAUSES PLEASANT
WINTERS
Torrid Spell Brought About by High
Pressure Area Beirg Moved West
ward-ocean Unable to
Resist Pressure

The unusual weather condition now
prevailing is due TO exactly similar con-
ditions which give Southern California
| in great part the unequaled winters.
At this time of the year, however, it
brings uncomfortably high tempera-
lures, for which moderation Is promised
unless the high" poking it's nose in at
| the extreme northwest corner Of the
United States should follow the course
of the preceding high pressure area.
The latter is mainly responsible for the
hot wave which it pushed down on Los
Angeles Sunday.
The heated air rising from the desert
was in fact showed over the mountains
and down in the valleys around Los
Angeles. Compression aided in main
tanning the heated condition, as did the
downward flow. The barometric gra-
dients show the cause very plainly.
The net result to the average person
was that it was hot, not only in the
daytime, but throughout the night, a
most unusual condition. Not before in
the history of the weather bureaus
local office has there been recorded so
warm a night as that of Sunday At 8
o'clock Sunday evening 92 degrees was
with a degree higher at o'clock Mon
day morning
Hottest Night on Record
For the night the minimum tempera-
ture officially recorded at Los Angeles
was SO degrees, which stands as the
local record for night work on the part
of the thermometer The next best was
July 4, 1907, when the city was heated
up to minimum at night of rs degrees
At that time the explanation offered
by Frank Virgins, secretary of the
chamber Of commerce, was the clash
between the Fourth of July and the i'm
pending financial depression. Now"
he says, consolidation with Whining
ton and San Pedro did 1t; that was the
warmest thing that happened for a
long time"
The ocean, which Forecaster VOLTA
Der terms "the great natural weather
moderator" could not prevail against
the overwhelming pressure coming
down from the hinterland, and the
ocean GOODNESS got barely off the coast
Going from Los Angeles to the beaches
one could feel distinctly the passing
from the warmer air to that off the
sea. It was cool at the west and south
beaches, and at Long Beach notice.
able rain fell yesterday morning.
Heavy thunder clouds hung over be-
yond the mountains. The rain at
Riverside yesterday was A Of an inch.
Cooler in the East
Yesterdays maximum temperature
was reached at II a. m, SO degrees. In
the next hour drop Of six degrees was
recorded, and at 5 o'clock the thermom-
eter was fifteen degrees lower. The
minimum during the daytime was so
degrees at $3.50 p. m.
The unusual condition which accom-
piished all the trouble in Los Angeles
brought at the same time consider
able lowering of temperatures in the
east. Cool air from the northwest
flowing eastward displaced the warmer,
"stickier'' air and brought cooler
weather to most of the eastern cities.
