WIND ON RAMPAGE
LAST WEEK

The strong wind Thursday night
of last week made things more than
usually interesting for a number of
people. A house was demolished
north of Oakley and 2 a barn at
Almo. Many trees and poles were
victims of the strong gale. Oakley
was without electric power Thurs
day night and all day Friday,-the
juice returning Friday night. The
wind was strong enogh in the city
of Oakley to break a window in
the Office oft he Gem State Lumber.
The house that the wind succeeded
in blowing down was the residence
of Albert A. Anderson, several miles
north of Oakley on the road to
Burley. Mr.. Anderson and his fam
lily had gone to bed before taking
their involuntary airplane trip. The
wind had been passing at consider
able speed for some time when they
heard a sound like that of an en-
gine or noisy f1ivver. Mr.. Ander-
son thinks this music was produced
by a twister-not of the full grown
variety, but baby twister. How
ever he did not have leisure to make
many reflections just then, for he
felt his bed travelling and he with it.
When Mr.. Anderson was ques-
toned as to how it feels to take q
ride in flying house, did not at
tempt to gloss matters over in the
least. One experiences sensations
far from pleasurable. According to
Mr.. Anderson, one is not merely |
frightened--he is scaredl
You've heard of the man who
said: IL don't know where I'm go
ing. but I'm on my way, and Tn
not afraid" The travellers in the
flying house were in a sidmilar pre-
with a difference.
They didn't know where they were
going, but they were on their way,
and they were afraid they would
never see their friends again! Mr.
Anderson says that in such a situa-
ton any man will pray. If you doubt
his statement, try the experiment

them, Mr. Anderson called out to
his boys, ..Are you hurt?" He re- {
,eived no answer and was about to
conclude that they had been killed
ghen they informed him that they
we're all right No one was even
seriously bruised. a
Mr.. Anderson now found them
elves out of doors in the wind and
