 WEEKS OF COLD
Internal Ground Hog Is in Bad Today--ShadOW Was Seen; Back in
 Hole He Went.

Today is the day when most peo- ole desire the sun to remain behind the clouds. It is GrOund-Hog Day and has been bright and sunny on Iastineau Channel Is 1t sure in lication that there will be six weeks more of bad weather?
 The second of February has been called Ground-Hog Day since the ea-- y days of the New Englanders and is a superstition dating from the first settlers of America, who thought that if the ground hog saw his shad. ow on Feb. he would return to his hole and remain for six weeks, and that the weather in the mean time would be cold and stormy. If however, he fails to see his shadow he will remain out and the spring will be an early one.
 Here's hoping that all ground hogs ln Gastineau Channel are blind.
