MONDAYS SHOWER.
Lightning Strikes City Hall Flagstaff

While the majority of the few thun-
der showers which have passed over
this section of Kennebec county dur
ing the spring months have either gone
around Augusta altogether or just
given slight sprnkling, one came
along at about 115 Monday afternoon
that landed in good shape, and While
perhaps tie center of the storm was
further to The south, this city was
near enough to that point TO get just
the drencting that was needed and also
to get in touch with all the details that

shower.
/ 1t has of course rained harder in
the past, but not this season. and the
WA that the rain came down Tor
about i minutes was revelation az

tions of the city for the wetting IL

the public at large for the way it lald

was accompanied by hail. the stones in
some sections being as large as mar
bles, but it was not learned that this
feature wrought any damage.

of the block is a tenement and in the

down to announce to Mr. Murphy tina
the wafer was coming down into he
rooms. An examination revealed TIN
fact that about four feet of the wealth
er hoard on the roof had been torn OFF
and that the roof had been spreac
slightly at the peak. No effect from the
shock was felt but as the roof was re-
paired only a short time ago there is
ne doubt as to the cause OF thu
