Thermometer Reached 0S Degrees
During Day, surpassed That
Back In 1911.

Tulsa sWeltered through the hottest
Fourth OF July In the past five years
yesterday. according to the thermom-
etor in the hands OF the government
forecaster. During the day the mer-
curry climbed to 81 degrees, coming
within one degree OF equalling the
hottest day of the year, which was
March 2l, when the temperature was
SO degrees.
With the exception of 1911. when
the temperature stood at los degrees
on the Fourth. yesterday was the
warmest day OF its kind since 1909.
The Fourth of 1916 was hotter by 22
degrees than that OF last year The
unusually low temperature of 10 de-
grees prevailed year ago yesterday.
In many parts of the country 1t has
become popular fallacy that the
Fourth of July is day for rain. IhiS
is true in a great many instances, but
records in the hands of the govern
ment weather bureau in this city show
that 1t rained on only one Fourth in
Tulsa during the past seven years. In
1914 more than Il half inch OF rain
fell during the day.
