AUGUST WEATHER.
Rainfall Will Be Below General
Average Tor the Mouth,

The weather for August, as forecast
ed by Peter R. Smith, is as follows:
The month will have several heated
periods which will not reach in excessive
heat beyond the ordinary August. No
extreme drops of the temperature are
! likely to show up. The rainfall for
the month will be much below the gen
eral average unless causes quits remote
should appear as factors to bring about
rain. Vigorous local showers will visit
localities widely separated, and but few
OF such showers are likely to prevail.
Few electric showers will be on passage.
Some storms of wind are likely to
develop during the heated periods which
are more likely to be summer busters
than gales.
At the opening of the month the tenn
Derature will be warm, attended with
threatening weather. Storms of appar-
ent vigor the I'd will be on passage.

city. but like most of the clouds. def
cient in rain. After the passage of
the wave change to a cooler tempera-
ture will prevail.
Local storm waves will appear on the
3D., 4th and 5th. Air currents will
change their course on the passage Of
the wave.
A storm wave will be on passage on
the 9Th and It'll. which may be attend
ed with much thunder. Storms of..wind,
buster, and light rains may appear at
many laces.
On the llth and 18th local storms will
be on passage, but causes producing
rain storm will be absent.
On or touching the 18th the tempera-
ture will reach a summer climax and a
storm wave will center on the 10Th.
18th and 18th. A cool wave will show
up about the 18th or 18th. Several days
of cloudy weather will show up about
the 10Th, which may be attended with
drilling rains that NAV be prolonged
to the % or "a.
The last week of August will be sure

We notice in last weeks Republican
that but one Garrett countain has en-
tered for the Oratorical Contest at
Mountain Lake Park next Monday.
This is but one instance Of many where
our people stand back and allow golden
opportunities to pass by unheeded, and
the rewards go into hands of strangers.
Garrett has an abundance of talent
along all these lines, but it is not going
to benefit its possesser or any one so
long as it lies dormant. 1t is by no
means disgrace to participate in these
contests, even if beaten, but it is GER
tainly nothing less to allow men from
other states to come in and carry off
the prizes without our people even en-
terlng the contests.
