During the thunder shower early Satur-
day morning, lightning struck spruce
tree near the house OF Howard A. Walker,
on Bay View street. The bolt was peculiar,
in that it made no mark on the tree until
some two or three feet from the ground,
at which point the tree was splintered
outward, as though the lightning had
come down inside the tree and then burst
outward. From this point the lightning
ran to the ground and then radiated from
the base OF the tree, following the sur
face roots and ploughing burrows in the
ground for from fifteen to twenty-fivs
feet from the tree. Telephone and tele-
graph wires were quite generally put out
OF commission by the shower, but no
other damage was done.
