Fine Weather to
End by Sunday, Is
Official Forecast

Take it from Federal Forecaster
Won Hermann, the fine weather is
about due for slump.
Atlanta may get through Saturday
without rain, but hardly through
Sunday" said the prognosticator.
There is no cold weather anywhere
on the map to-day but after the rain
we probably will get it. The tenn
perature will remain warm through
Sunday probably"
The present November, while ex-
tremely dry, with only AZ of an inch
of rain thus far, isn't the dryest on
record, and won't be, even if Sunday
passes by without rain.
In November 1887, only 80 of an
inch of rain fell in Atlanta, and No
vember, 1890-the record November
in dryness-only Is of an inch was
recorded. The normal precipitation
for an Atlanta November is sos
inches, so the fact that 1913 is about
3 inches shy on rainfall thus far is
just about explained by the absence
of showers this month. Atlanta's
average annual rainfall is 1890 inches.

Atlanta's society colony was dis
cussing Friday the daring feat Of Miss
Sappho Thrash, daughter Of DR.. f. C.
Thrash, one of its most prominent
members, when to win a trivial wager
she climbed the dizzy heights of the
huge electric sign on the roof of the
new Hotel Winecoff.
Scores of persons in Peachtree
street below were attracted by the
daring feat. From her bird like perch
on the topmost beam of the network
forming the sign the young woman
calmly looked about the topography of
Atlanta for ten minutes, then waved
to the crowd and descended.
Miss Thrash now possesses the dis
tinctive honor Of having literally at
tanned the greatest height available in
the city
The gigantic Winecoff sign stands
network of wires and slender steel
beams "a feet above the roof of the
hotel. To scale the height 1t is nee
essary to trust to ones footing IN
stepping up among the small cables
and bars.
When Miss Thrash arrived at the
base Of the framework, chaperoned by
Manager and Mrs. Frank Harrell, of
the hotel she gazed up at the frail
structure and shivered.
I'm scared" she announced.
A few minutes later she gathered
her skirts about her and began the as
cent. Up among the netting she
climbed until she occupied a perch at
the top, almost among the clouds.
Nearly 200 feet sheer down she gazed
into tho narrow strip of canyon which
was Peachtree street.

Thrash How ! was ever foolish
enough to do it once / can't imagine,
but then--it was exciting at that"
