SEAsONABLE SUMMER.

Washington. Aug. 31.-Summer's
coolest weather was spread today
over the northern part of the country
from the Rocky mountains to the At
lantic and southwark well into the
gulf states. Warmer weather Is in
prospect.
Lowest temperatures ever recorded
in August were reported TO the
weather bureau generally from the
Ohio valley, Indiana, Illinois, eastern
Missouri and Texas. Light frosts oc-
Cured during the night in portions
of Michigan, Indiana and Illinois.
In the far west. higher tempera-
lures continued.
Minneapolis. Aug. 31.-That shiv-
ers and shakes which people have in
dulged in this summer were justified
was proved today when the weather
man found that since the LIST of June.
Minneapolis is shy" 1922 degrees
from the normal.
With the passing of today, the
coolest summer in the history OF the
weather bureau will be recorded with
q hltdn cilRti dluiC OClOW nOi Aldi
for the combined months of June,
July and August. For the season,
the mean temperature OF June was
62 degrees: July, 81. and August, sc.
making the average for the summer
65 degrees.
The nearest approach to this came
in 1891, when the weather bureau
records were first made here official
ly. in 1903 and In 1904.
Chicago. Aug. 31.-Today marks
the passing of the coolest, wettest
and most unreasonable August Chi
cago has ever experienced. June and
July were In the same category. To
all intents and purposes there has not
been any summer, and outdoor
amusement enterprises have had the
worst season In their history.
July temperatures were 3 degrees
below normal. and August A de-
grees under the average.
In summer, according to the
weather bureau. there Is usually a
high barometric pressure around the
