WATER FIGHT ON SATURDAY BRINGS
BIG TWO DAYS. PROGRAM TO CLOSE

A fiercely contested water fight be-
tween Hose Companies No. and No.
7 at $40 Saturday evening ended the
formal program of entertainment for
the big two-days celegration and It
proved to be the most exciting and
most interesting feature staged. 1t
had not been scheduled by the COM
mittee but grew out of the rivalry be-
tween the two companies and was ar
ranged on the last day.
The two teams charged each other,
No. starting at Water street and No.
7 at Railroad on Main. The former
company connected with the Court
street plug and the latter with the
one on Webb street and they met at
Alta No. Q. which lost the match
race on the Fourth. succeeded In get
ting water first and had 1t playing on
the No Z nozzlemen almost fifteen
seconds before the latter could return
It. The exchange of streams contin-
ued at .ong range and in rather a
desultory manner until No. attached
another length which permitted fight
ing at closer range. Thereupon five
or six of the No. . men charged No
Z. but were beaten back several times
and finally utterly routed when the
No. general dispatched a scout tC
turn off the source of supply of th'
other, left unguarded by the No.
plugmen.

FORECAST WEATHER
SEASON IN ADVANCE

Chicago, July Astronomer dis
coveries that scientists say make it
possible to forecast weather conditions
a season in advance are announced by
Professor E. B. Frost of Yerkes OBJ
servatory, Williams Bay, Wis The
announcement is the result of 10
years tabulation of observations of
the sun. The records show that the
solar constant" does not exist, as the
sun is a variable star and that solar
radiation is indicated by the sun
spots which wax and wane in a reg
ular cycle of II years. The observa-
tions were made. according to Profess
sor Frost for the purpose of bringing
the science of astronomy to the aid
of agriculture in order that farmers
may know in advance of planting sea-
sons what crop prospects are.
Variation in solar heat amounting
to more than per cent in a week
vas discovered. Radiation from the
sun Is high when sun spots are nu-
merous. At present sun spots are few
but in four years 1t may be expected
that large number will develop, ac-
cording to Professor Frost.
Astro- physical observers are now
devoting their chief attention to the
observation of sun spots. which ex-
perience has shown are the things
which most affect all conditions OF
life on this planet
