WEATHER MAN PREDICTS
COOL WINDS WILL BLOW
Unusual Atmospheric Conditions
Cause Heat by Shutting Off
Breezes from Ocean

Unusual weather conditions, such as
have not been experienced in several
years. prevailed in Los Angeles yes
terday and kept pedestrians guessing
for forty-eight hours.
According to Weather Observer VOL
laber it has not been hot. That may
sound like some kind of a joke to the
uninitiated. but the instruments at
the weather bureau prove it to be d
fact.
Observer Wollaber admits there has
been an unusual amount of perspira-
tion rolling down the brows OF citl-
zens during the last two days, ana
even goes so far as to concede tnat
a few hot -blooded persons may nave
felt the heat at night to such an ex-
tent that it was difficult to sleep; but
nevertheless 1t hasn't been hot-not
for q minute.
Hot nights in California are un-
known. No matter how warm the day,
a pair az blankets can always be used
comfortably. Mr.. Wollaber says 1t
has simply been "humid." Every stu
dent of barometric and atmospheric
conditions knows that there is a vast
difference between "humid" and "hot."
The highest temperature yesterday,
according to the weather instruments,
was 81 degrees, which in the east
would be considered delightful, But
nevertheless every one was complain
ing of the heat, when in reality the
excessive perspiration was due to the
large consignment of curdled at
mosphere, heavily charged with cleo
tricity, which lurked over the eastern
sky and formed a breakwall for the
breezes waited in from the mountains,
The same heavy atmosphere also
appeared suspended along the coast,
likewise shutting off the sea breezes.
Mr.. Wollaber reported last night, how
eve- that the humidity (Which
reached 81 yesterday is moving east
ward, and the breeze will soon be back
in full force to relieve the pressure.
