He sent for me and informed me that by means of the bells he would obtain the infor- nation for the girl and in order to convince me, he would make me the medium by which this would be brought about. We went into the belfrv and I was made to sit directly under the bell. Then our host in formed us that as: the bell was tolled the monks would be praying in their cells for the release of Narag Singh s soul. If their prayers were granted. Narag Singh would come and whisper the address to me, and in my turn would repeat it sto the audience, my companion, our host and three minor monks On the objections raised by my friend that probably our host knew the ado1 ess himself, and would merely hypnotize the old man, bow ing courteously, withdrew.
 Then the bell began to toll. At first the sound annoyed me, then 1t excited me almost to madness, anu finally as in a haze-a poorly clad native appeared before ne, whispered something, then vanished into noth- ingness. while something appeared to force me to repeat the words he had uttered. 1 had no sooner done so, than silence more unbeIrable Stlll, followed the internal tolling.

NO COAL SHORTAGE
 REPORTED LOCALLY
Only Trouble is That Shipments Are Being Held Up By
 Railroads,

According to several of the local coal dealers there is no acute shortage of coal in the city at the present time and from the present outlook the deal CTS think that bins in this city will be amply filled until April 1, at which time there will be a, req djustment of the wages of the miners and should the miners feel dissatisfied with the adjustment they may strike which would cause a shortage.
 One of the dealers when questioned on the present situation stated that his concern had been without coal for the past three days but received a carload early this morning which would carry them over until another car came in. ''The only trouble with the coal business is that during the past several weeks the transportation facilities have been very unsatisfac- tory and the railroad officials can't get our cars to us on time," another dealer asserted.
 D. A. Johnston of the City Coal and Wood company issued a staten ent to the effect that that company is about a week behind in deliveries and if one orders his coal today he will probably get it about a week from the day which he ordered it. How ever he said that the yard has enough coal to supply immediate demand The United Coal and Wood company re- ported that they have had several cars on the road since the first of the month and have not received them as vet.

SEPTEMBER WAS
MONTHO fine
WEATHER HERE
Records at Grand Forks
Weather Station Show I'm
usually Good Weather.

So far as weather was concerned.
September, 1920, was an exceptionally
good month, according to statistics
given out at the University Weather
Bureau today. In commenting upon
weather conditions for the month,
Prof. H. f. Simpson, in charge of the
bureau, said:
September weather is almost a
tradition in the Red river valley, but
of all fine September weather that Of
1920 is about the finest. Plenty of
warmth and plenty of moisture Is a
combination hard to beat and this
September had 10Th in abundance.
The average temperature for the
month was 500 degrees which is 81
degrees warmer than the average for
the 3O-year record period of the
Grand Forks station of the weather
bureau and places it as h seventh
warmest September in that period.
1.-THE warmest September on record
was that OF 1906 when the average of
62.S degrees was recorded. The
coolest September came in 1903 with
an average of but STA degrees.
1.-THE warmest day last month was
the 18th, IS degrees, and the coolest
the last day Of the month when the
temperature dropped to rs degrees,
81 vi liz OF u VI ~ SSSlGSIls
"Other September days have shown
much greater extremes. notably Sep
TENDER Z, 1906. when 80 degrees was
registered, than which there has been
but one hotter day on RECORD in
Grand Forks, and September 81,
1893. when the thermometer fell to
IL degrees"
Rainfall Helpful.
Following the dry August the
months rainfall of $40 inches was
especially helpful. The normal rains
fall for the month is 1.7S inches and
this month was sixth in total precipi-
tation during the 80 years of record.
The highest September rainfall was
that of 1912 when it reached the very
unusual moun of 5.97 inches. The
lowest rainfall 0.34 inches came two
years later in 1914.
The greatest amount of rainfall in
a single day during the past month
was Las inches on the 18th. a very
unusual amount for a September day.
For the second time on record
snow was observed in this September
but could hardly be called even a
trace since it consisted of but a few
flakes falling with mist at 9:45 on
the morning OF the 2Sth.
The only real September snowfall
at this station occurred on Septem-
Der "a, 1912, when two inches of
snow with much rain made a heavy
slush under foot. AS this was the
opening, day of the university in that
year it will be long remembered by
students and faculty.
