40 OF an inch in kss than one hour
this afternoon. Of .this amount .8 OF

bic TO see even across the street.
Flag Blown Away.
A big United States flag flying from
a steel staff on the top Of the lnsur>
ance building was blown away and the
staff bent.
The hail accompanying the rain
caused a drop of several degrees in the
temperature. The rain was not suffi-
cient to cause a rise in the North
Canadian river, unless il was general
throughout the river basin, but it will
be of great benefit to gardens and lawns
in Oklahoma City.
No more water was pumped from the
North Canadian river yesterday than on
Sunday, when only 100000 gallons
passed through the filters at the pump
ing station. DR.. J. G. Street, in charge
of the city waterworks department today
declared that for the second consecutive
day they had held their own" there
having been no perceptible decline in
