MERCURY IS DUE
FOR STEADY RISE
Weather Man Sure That Cold Wave
Has Passed-Lowest Point Was
"a Degrees.

The weather man makes the posi-
tive assertion, and he is willing TO
take oath on IL, that the cold wave
has passed. II reached its crest late
Monday night, when the mercury
touched "a degrees. AT 8 o'clock.
Tuesday morning 1t had risen 10 %
degrees. and is due for a regular
climbing stunt" Tuesday evening.
Assistant Observer thompson ex-
plans that the near-blizzard which
came roaring out of the southwest
late Monday afternoon and made the
remnants of that last ton of coal look
very "scimpy" indeed, was due to the
rapid moving out OF the strom area
that was central over these parts
during the forenoon. The s. A. GER
tainly has travelled some since II left
dear old Detroit, for II was moving
down the st. Lawrence valley when
last heard from and heading straight
for the Atlantic coast.
This rapid movement caused dis
turbances all over the lake region
and generally lower temperatures. Zero
weather was reported from the north
shore OF Lake Superior, Tuesday
morning. and II was 10 above at the
500. The high wind did considerable
damage In northern Ohio and Penn
sylvania. A cyclone Is reported from
New Jersey.
Another little storm aera has NOV
ed In to take the place Of Mondays
visitor, but the weather man gives
assurance that II il not another cold
wave.
