CHIEF TYPES OF CLOUDS.
And the Messages They Convey In
Forecastns the Weather.

The three chief types of clouds
are the cirrus, stratus and cumulus,
and the best times to study them
are at sunset and sunrise. Cumulus
clouds are the most impressive OF
all clouds and are more commonly
to be seen in summer than winter.
These clouds pile themselves up
in masses near the horizon. When
they are only of moderate size
and gradually melt away during the
evening they indicate a spell of
fine weather. But if, on the con-
trarS, the clouds continue to pile
themselves up like huge snowy
mountains, then look for rain.
The stratus cloud is generally
formed at the end of fine day. 1t
is like widely extended horizontal
sheet and hanging SO low that it
frequently touches the earth's sur
face in the form of a fog. When
such clouds are formed in the morn
ing it tells the sky experts to look
out for another fine day. Stratus
clouds, indeed, seldom indicate rain.
Cirrus clouds, as their name indi-
Gates, are white curly clouds, like
curly hair or curly feathers. They
are the highest of all clouds, float
ing five to ten miles above the earth
and often drifting in quite con-
trary direction to clouds lower
down. Cirrus clouds are called by
sailors cats tails or mares tails and
generally foretell rain.
When cirrus clouds lie in long,
straight wisps from west to east,
then be sure that rain is coming.
When they float at lower level
than usual they become what is
known as cirro-cumulus, small,
round masses arranged in groups or
lines, giving the appearance known
as mackerel sky.
A mackerel sky,
Not twenty-four hours dry
is one of the oldest and truest Of
weather proverbs.
The nimbus cloud is a mixture of
all three of the chief types of clouds.
1t is q dark shapeless cloud, with
ragged edges as rule and floats
about a mile high. From its sur
face it throws off cirrus clouds,
known to sailors as scud, and the
amount of rain that falls varies gen.
orally with the amount of scud.
The more rapidly nimbus clouds
form the sooner will the rain be
over, as rule. When a dark MIN
bus cloud is topped by heavy masses
of clouds like huge mountains, then
look out for thunder.-New York
Press.

This act opens with the wife ad-

"John, a messenger from my

the husband.

THREE LARGE Tents WILL
SHELTER FAIR HESPfRlDES
Lumbermen'S Organization, the "fiOO
HoO'S," to Meet in WenatChee-
Other Entertainments

Three big tents have been engaged
to shelter the Fair Hesperides, Dc
tober 81 to Is. One tent is 10Ox225
feet; another is 60x120 feet and the
third is 80x180 feet. They provide
combined space amounting to 73,5G0
square feet. One tent will be devoted
exclusively to the apple show and ex-
hibits of vegetables, grains, grasses
and ores. Another will house the pure
food and industrial exhibit. Here
there will be all kinds of demonstra-
tons going on constantly. The free
samples of pure foods are always pop
ular. The third tent will be used for
band concerts, vaudeville shows, ad-
dresses, lectures, conferences, etc.
1t was the intention to erect huge
pavilion, but the executive committee
decided to use tents and concentrate
the $4,000 fund on putting up the
very best show possible.
Wednesday of fair week will be lum-
berman's day. This was decided
upon this week when acceptance OF
an invitation to the Order of Hoo
Hoos was received. This is an organ
ization of lumbermen, railroad and
newspaper men having membership
of 10000 in the United States. The
state gathering will be held at We
natchee this year during the fair.
The Hoo Hoos is a purely social or
ganization of most unique character.
It has no stated time or place to hold
meetings or conventions, but the mem
bers gather whenever and wherever
the spirit of fun moves them. The
idea of coming to the Home OF the
Big Red Apple this year has struck
the bunch all in heap. Always be-
fore they have gathered in the big
cities of the state. The Shark has
notified Manager Olds that they will
surely paint the town red on October
22nd. They bring grotesque cos
tunes and lot OF paraphernalia which
will be used in the street parade.
This feature will make Wednesday
very much like Mardi Gras in New
Orleans.

Woman Asks for Divorce

Alleging that the father of seven
children has neglected to provide sup
port for his family and that the mother
has been compelled to clerk in store
in order to keep the wolf from the
door, Mrs. Annie Casey of Leaven-
worth has asked divorce from Edward
L. Casey. He is a horseman and ca
pable of earning $3.50 a day. Mrs.
Casey asks that he be compelled to
contribute something at least for the
support of their one minor child, a son
now 10 years of age.
The couple was married in Kansas in
1888. 1t was in 1910 when he ceased
to provide any support whatsoever, il
is alleged. The wife's case is being
handled by Attorneys Reneau, Thomas
& Hannah. -Wenatchee World.

PARENTS SHOULD COOPERATE
WITH THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Training Children Receive in Their
Youth Means Much in Their After
Life

The home, the public school and
the church are largely responsible fol-
producing good citizens. The work
of the three institutions overlap. 1t
is interesting to note how the school is
realizing its responsibility and per
forming a great. social service. In
school, the child is taught morals and
manners, respect and veneration for
parents, consideration for the wishes
and happiness Of others. If the child
comes to school in an unclean condi-
ton the school sees that the child is
made clean and fit to associate with
others. The proper care of self is
taught. industrial studies are being
introduced very rapidly, so that the
child can leave the school and earn its
own living. Truly the school is doing
much for the home; the child is taught
manners, the respect for authority, the
necessity for respecting the rights oil
others in order to live with people, and
finally the child is taught to earn its
own living. In return what is the
home doing for the SCHOOL, In the
majority of cases the home is doing its
part. The parents realize the impor-
lance Of the school. the overlapping Of
home teaching and school teaching,
and support the school by insisting
upon the children conforming to the
rules and regulations of the school; in
slsting upon the children being punct-
ual, respectful and studious. So in
the majority of cases good citizens are
turned out of the schools. But in
some instances the schools are not
turning out good citizens. Boys and
girls go wrong, and sometimes find
themselves behind prison bars. This
is not the fault Of the school. Very
frequently it is the fault of the parents
who have not disciplined the child and
who have supported it in insubordina-
ton. The child must learn respect
for the law, and authority. Respect
for the authority of the home and
school is necessary before there can be
respect for the laws of the land. Par
ents who do not support the authority
OF the teachers and permit the child
to disregard the rules of the school
should remember that they are not Civ
Ing the school the support it deserves
from the home, but are paving the
way for a disregard for the laws Of the
land that may bring ruin to the child
and disgrace to themselves. Elk.

Heat From the Sun.

One square yard of the earth's
surface receives each day averaging
six hours of sunshine, an amount of
heat equal to that contained in 1.S
pounds of coal. At this rate an
area of about 1900 miles receives
during a year an amount of energy
from the sun equivalent to that OBJ
tainable from the 1,100,000,000
tons of coal mined annually in Eu-
rope and the United States.

The state board OF tax commission
ers, which under previous administra-
tions kept man in the field dunning
saloon men and others who failed to
pay their state liquor licenses, is
adopting new and heroic measures this
year. In all the principal cities war
rants have been sworn out for the ar
rest of the delinquent liquor dealers
and fines will be assessed against each
one convicted, in addition to the
amount of the annual license, SIS.
The first batch of warrants was issued
in Seattle last Saturday and similar pre-
cautions followed Immediately in Ia
coma, Everett and Spokane. The first
arrests resulted in a food of payments
being made to the state treasurer by
dealers who wished to escape the pen
atty. The dealers had been warned
several times through the newspapers,
by the commission, besides the serv-
ing of demand by mail on each one.
All liquor licenses expired June 80,
so each dealer had 81 days of grace in
the two months of July and August.
