FROST ON AUGUST 81
And Despite. Popular Opinion II Has
Happened Right Along in This Sum-
mer Month.

There was a frost in Danielson on
Monday morning! The date was Au-
gust 81. and the claim seems extraor-
binary, but it really is not. According
to the records of the weather bureau
at Bitgood's. there have been frosts
in August during every recent year.
Everyone was amazed that such a
thing could happen in this gay and
smiling summer month and were ut
terly forgetful that such occurrences
are almost a regular thing.
But records are usually more relia-
BILE than the memory Of man and in
relation to August frosts here is what
they show: On August %, 1905, the
temperature dropped to Al degrees
August Is, 1905. to Al degrees; August
80 1907. to AZ degrees; August 20,
1908. to SO degrees: August 80, 1909,
to 40 degrees: August q. 1910, to Al
degrees. Slight frosts, not injurious
to growing things, were noted on each
Of the above mentioned cool August
mornings. Monday morning the rec
ord shown was AZ degrees. so it was
not such wonderful thing after all.
Before sunrise. however. some lawns
were white with frost.
Hall SawmIl Burned.
Following closely on the destruction
in the same manner of the Hubbard
sawmill, which was landmark in
that section for many years, comes the
announcement of the burning Satur-
day morning Of the Edward Hall saw
mill, which was located in the south
eastern corner of killingly, on the
Moosup Valley road. The engine and
boiler ESCAPED serious damage, but
other machinery in the plant was
wrecked The mill was burned to the
ground
Lazinsk Much Improved.
Pitcher Joseph Lazinsk of the Taft
vile team of the Eastern Connecticut
league, who was hit in the head by a
pitched ball while at bat in the sew
enth inning of the game played against
Fri Villa ge at Dayviile last Saturday,
was said By the attending physician to
be slightly improved Monday, but that
it is yet impossible to tell just what
the outcome of the accident will be.
Lazinsk was in precarious condition,
it was considered by the physicians,
Sunday night. but Monday he seemed
better, though he remained in semi
stupor. The injured young mans par
ents were notified of his condition.
and his father came from New York
and took the boy to that city for
treatment Monday afternoon
Pitcher Page who threw the ball
that struck Lazinsk, is deeply depress
ed over the affair. and he was quoted
Monday as saying that he would never
pitch again. 1t was an accident. pure
and simple, DuL rage Sets no rellel
from that fact.
