We've had a little warm weather
In Spokane SO far this summer, but
more is coming. Everybody is try
ing the best way they know how
to dodge it. Some keep warm by
trying to keep cool and all that
the doctors say doesn't seem to
help 1t any.
What's in our minds that makes
US feel hotter when we're trying
to keep cooler?
Almost every man, woman and
child in Spokane has had the
picnic experience. Isn't 1t funny
to see how hard some of us try
to have a good time and can't?
Then some of the others, who
never seem to worry about any
thing, look at us and say, ''Why,
you look as If you were warm.
What's the matter?"
Almost any doctor in Spokane
will tell you that ice water-that
is, water with the ice actually in it,
heats person. The more Ice
water we drink the more we crave,
because 1t isn't cooling.
Then there's beer. Somebody in
Germany, centuries ago, got 1t into
his head that beer, and lots of it,
made men cool on a hot day.
So beer has been thought a SYM
boil of GOODNESS ever since, but it
isn't a good one. There is only 3
per cent alcohol in beer. but that
is enough to excite the nerves, and
in turn the blood, making the peo-

GREAT WATERsPouT IN
CHARLESTON HARBOR

Charleston, S. c., June 29.-The
passengers on the ferry trip from
Mount Pleasant due in the city at
8.45 o'clock and many people along
the waterfront, saw an interesting
phenomenon in the waterspout which
formed this morning about 8 o'clock
lust north of Castle Pinckney and
moved in northerly course for some
distance until its dissolution about
fifteen minutes after its formation.
It was an interesting sight to be-
hold. Few saw the actual formation,
but many viewed its development un-
til it assumed considerable proper
tions and the eyes followed it until
it was dissolved. The point Of dark
cloud seemed TO gradually extend un-
til it reached the surface Of the wa
ter and then the water seemed to
splash nightly and to rise up to the
cloud, assuming funnel formation
into which it continued with a move
ment northward.

taunts and bricks at him.
l'he plaintiff. who is suing foI non

Palm Beach She was forced to wear a
pair Of shoes twice This created such
a scandal among the other women that
for week she was cut cold. Her
social standing. was nearly destroyed
as a result
Mrs. Blister wept as She told how
economical she had been. Instead of
ordering an evening gown trimmed
with 22-karat gold, she used 14-karat.
This dress cost $2,40O, and because it
was commonplace she did not wear it
a second time.
While other women were wearing
three hats each day, she was COM
PEELED to do with two. And every day
she was looked down upon because

SO for pair of gloves. Since they
were so cheap, she used nine pairs

IRE AMENDMENTS
To BE OPPOSED
BY COUNCIL?
RUMORED THAT A RESOLUTION
WILL BE PASSED TONIGHT IN
OPPOSITION TO SOME OF THE
PROPOSED CHANGES.

Just what city council viii do to-
night regarding the new charter
amendments is problematical
Various reports of what the major
ity intended doing were in circula-
tion yesterday. but nothing could he
learned authentically According to
these reports. however. the mGj itS
in council will oppose, by resol8xqla
some Of the amendments decided Uas,lr
by the citizens committee NIoaaa.
u ght.
One of the amendments to be Bpg
posed, il is stated. VIII be the one
to reduce the term of the city clerk
and treasurer to enc year. As an
argument against the amendments, the
majority so the reports go, will claim
that to make this chang now, would
practically make an officials term
end on January 1. 1910. when as a
matter of TACT. the official has already
been elected until January /, 1911.
This SO the majority in council viii
probably argue, will be legislatiug an
Official out of Office
Another amendment that will prob
ably lie opposed viii pc the one abol-
ishius the newly established ward
system Some Of the members Of
council claim that there is not a sin
gle good excuse for abol'shing this
rule They argue that the new law
has not been in effect long enough
TO have been given a fair trial and
do not see why any change should
be made Just at this time
Whether or not the majority viii
also oppose the amendment giving the
mayor the veto power is not known.
but this may also be included in a
resolution, which, it is understood. VIII
be introduced opposing the proposed
changes.
1t now seems probable. that this
fight will be carried to the house of
representatives. If council does take
such an action tonight. the amerd
menJs viii so before the lawmaling
body with the approval Of a large
number of citizens and the Cisanr ro-
val Of council and il viii thea be
squ&ely up to the legislature to de-
cide whether or not the PROPOSED
changes are really needed.
Of course none Of the members Of
ontcil. or rather of the maic. ity.
Here willing to say yesterday Just
wnat would be done but it is known
shat they are opposed TO some Of the
amendments and. from one close 10
two CT three Of the majority. il was
learned that some action woull lie

state against all of the delinquents.
