GUS storms came from the south and
southwest; gales OF 40 miles were reg
istered from the west at 11:1s D. m,
and els a. m; these were said to be
the most severe series of thunder
storms in the minds of the oldest resi-
dents. Two residences on East Hill
were struck by lightning. Streets and
yards in all low sections OF the city
were flooded. The grade on Palafox
street, between Romano and Garden
streets, had been raised on the east
side, but on the west side the new
paving had not yet been completed and
the same flooded conditions prevailed
there as in former excessive rains: the
new paving was not yet in on Romano
street, between Palafox and Baylen
streets, consequently the greatest over
flow on Palafox street was at the
northwest corner OF Romano and Pala-
fox where foot high had to be thrown
up around the doors of the Pinkusson
cigar store. Sewers were taxed be-
yond their capacity. The greatest
damage was in the section known as
Long Hollow especially on Guile
marde and Tarragona streets from
DeSoto to Gadsden street. from Strong
street southwark about 200 feet beyond
Cervantes. In a colored church located
on the south side Of Cervantes and
midway between Guillemadre and Tar
ragona streets, the water rose above
the window sills and some barrels of
lime in the church took fire and had
to be removed. This level gave a
depth of two feet on Guillemarde street
at the intersection of Cervantes At
the corner of Guillemarde and DeSoto
streets, the surface water entered one

plant.
Hail was heard against windows at
$50 w. Cervantes street at II p. M, on
the 26th during a thunderstorm.
THE total movement of the wind
for this March 11.54S miles, is the
greatest monthly movement ever re-
corded in Pensacola; 1t gave an aver
age hourly wind velocity of 1875 miles;
the normal wind velocity for March is
IL miles. Winds of 40 miles or over
occurred on the 9Th. 10th, and 21st;
the highest was 81 miles from the
south at 1889 a. m. on the 21st when a
trough of low pressure was passing
eastward in connection with a severe
disturbance In the Lake Region; the
wind increased gradually during the
night of the 2oth-21st, veering from
southeast to south: after a. m, the
winds gradually decreased, becoming
light by 6 p. m, with southwest pre-
vai1ing after 9 a. M: damages re-
suited from this blow as timber in
booms was securely fastened.

partly cloudy and II cloudy; an un-
usual number of cloudy days; the aver

cloudiness of seven-tenths. The num-
Der of DAYS with OF or more was II;

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.
Speaker To-Be Ion Farris will lead a
fight in behalf of the initiative and ref
erendum in the house, it is said and a
similar warfare will be waged in the
senate. Favorable legislative action on
this subject seems to be probable and
it is believed the public generally viii
hold it in favor. The same will prove
tional provision for the election of
United States senators by direct vote
OF the people.
For three sessions the state railroad
commissions friends have fought for
increased powers for that important
body. but their efforts have been
thwarted by piutocratic representa-
tives. At this session, however, 1t Is
believed that the dreams of the COM
mission will be realized and several
important and strengthening changes
seem practically certain.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE FIGHT.
Much interest is naturally manifest
ed in the proposed fight for woman
suffrage, and while 1t Is not believed
that the legislators win favor full suf-

most assuredly be granted some con-
cessions, particularly in the matter Of
serving on school boards and in other
educational positions The eventful
reign of equal suffrage, however. is re-
garded as certain by even the most
pessirnistic howlers against the move
ment.
The state primary law is certain to
be amended and streng thened, it seems,
and various other reforms will be
brought about before the session ends.

THERE is no exploit in football
80 difficult Of achievement and
so rare as the fulfilled run
from kickoff to touchdown Theo-
retiyaIly such a performance would
seem To be impossible. Actually, how
ever, it has been accomplished thir-
teen times against elevens of major
strength in the past 40 years. and
probably has been achieved as many
more against minor teams.
Consider the extraordinary difficult
ties surrounding the accomplishment
of this great feat. Here are eleven
men, deployed in a space 100 feet
wide and 800 feet long, to prevent a
solitary runner from trayersing the
lime-,ine stripes that mark this space
and reaching the last line for touch
Gown The disposition Of these eleven
men within this space is not made al
random Indeed. their system Of de-
pluNment represents the study and
experience Of 40 years, and presents
the most ingenious arrangement that
can be devised to protect every inch
OF the field against any and all con
tingenCies. Further the defensive
eleven is not Handicapped on this
play by the feature Of surprise The
