Few perhaps realized that yesterday
was the warmest February, and win

Observer Fred q. Gosewisch, was
wise to the fact, however, and in
speaking today said that it was on
the oath day of February, 1891 that
the temperature of 70 was reached.
and the lowest temperature en- that
date was "a degrees. Yesterday the
temperature was II degrees, and the
lowest SO degrees during the day. That
new record has been set and will not
perhaps, be overcome for another
score or more of years
The day was warm one and win
ter turned suddenly to balmy Mon
day, causing the shedding of over
coats. Last night a stiff wind sprane

strange pranks at times, and the goo,

beauty will without doubt attract
large audience that will be amply re-

the Music Review said: Not for

Duluth violinist, who is rapidly max

ira in the Beethoven concerto in D
major, and in solo group consisting
of the Hezie Kati. by Hubay, a couple
of the old dance forms by Rameau and
Lully, and a Romanza by William Les
ter. In all of these selections he dis
played wonderful equipment of solid
technic, virile living round tone. a
full command of the art Of bowling,
and, with it all, strong sense of the
appropriate degree of emotional in
depreciation. His reading of the first
movement of the Beethoven number
was a revelation in its beauty of
tonal shading, the perfect balance of
the ensemble, and the technical finish
displayed"
