NO, BUT IT
BLEW SOON

The wind which whistled
through the shingles of Tacoma
homes last night and made the
wires sing was only a 30-mile
gale. Reports from the weather
bureau today showed the wind
blew steadily for several hours
from the southwest. The steadi-
ness of the storm made the gale
appear more severe than 1t really
was.
The maximum velocity was re-
corded at the mouth of the CO.
lumbia, where the wind registered
so miles. All wires connecting
the government station at Ia
toosh with the mainland are down
and the severity of the storm on
the coast is not known.
Several reports were made to-
day of houses being rocked last
night in the south end of the
city. No damage was reported.
