NEW MAGISTRATE
 MODERN SOLOMON
Municipal Temple of Justice Wit. nesses Both Serious and
 Amusing Occurrences

While King Solomon was "somo shakes" when it came Co matters re- Qu.rng wisdom. it Is doubtful If he was superior as a iurist Co Juneau.a |ncw city clerk and ex-o0icio munich pal magistrate. IA E. Gurr
 Mr. Gurr has been "Y'r Honor l |but a few days. but during that time ! ho has had a number of eases before 'hIm. mostly those who overostImatod their capacity for slowing away white mule. His first case was that of a rustic from Admiralty island who oncompamod several "nngers too much tho nrt night ho was in town and when morning came, lo. he was oxpcctoratng cotton from a mouth which harborcd a taste sIm- .uar Go that of oyor-rIpe eggs. The pcuitout youth was kindly odmon- ishcd to sail on Che next tide and Che charge against him was dis missed. He sailed.
 Case No. was also Che result Of a lost "hootch gauge" Either that or utter disregard of Che laws Of health and a lack Of Che refined sen- abMues which discriminate be- tween respectable intoxication and bcasuy drunkenness. for No. was "it to Che oyes". That is. he was sIoriously soused when arrested and pnotod Go Che sk0okum house late Sunday night. but iu tho cold. grey dawn of wash day. it was something else again. Gone was Che unhaiIow- cd inspiration of Che previous night; dissIpatcd was Che desire for vain show and glory; yanQuishcl was Che spirit for whoop.ug 'om up and laid low and bcdragglod was tho wild and unlettered yoaruing of few short hours before.
 And again was justice tempered with mercy. No. was no rustic from Che clam-strown benches Of Ad- miralty island. neither (pronouucod 'moythcr'D did he have within bis aimcut a card iu thc HaIbut Fish- crmens Union or ln Che Amalgam- atcd Association of Corn Flowers Of Dubuque. Iowa. but he did have within him that spirit of contr.t.on and mccknoss that would bar him from membership In Che Ancient Or der Of old Sooks And His Honor saw and recognized Che spirit A dnc Of dftoou plunks was imposed. That was easy and it was likewise paid But thcro was more. and 70 was "thut Che incumbent Of thc lonesome bench be adiudrcd to serve Gem days in Che city basUIc but chat Che sentence be suspended for Che present and for au time provided Che offender does not tank up' again within @ period of four months from date Of decree.
 Tears Of gratitude coused their way adowu cheeks that had been blauchcd in fear and hit Che floor with rcsoundIug korpluuk. and os Che man emerged into Che surround ling ozone he exclaimed. "Ncvor again."

FEBRUARY WEATHER
 HAD QUEER STREAMS
Had More Low Temperature Than Any February in Past
 Twenty-SiX Years

According Co tho local United States weather bureau. tho month of February was a very unusual one Tho following is what Weather Ob- server M B. sumcrs gives out on February:
 That Che month of February, just closed. was Che most extraordinary In some of its weather features is affirmed by practically an Che old- timers of Juneau They contend that they shoyclod more cool than In any February for a number of years back. and that there were moro broken windows and damaged roofs than I'm any previous month. While thc memory of Che oldest iuhabit anr' is often faulty when it comes Co weather conditions. his contention in thIs instance would seem Co Doc borne out by Che Weather Bureaus meteor 0loidcal summary issued Thursday
 This report shows Chat while Feb- ruuy normally has a mean tcmperu. urc of 3O.0 degrees tho month through which we have just passed had moan of only 23.S degrees making am average daily deficiency of 6.2 degrees. 10 shows also. that only one other February in 26 years of record had a lower mean that of IS90. when che mean was 221 dc- erocs.
 Wlth a zero temperature recorded ou two days tho 7th and sch Che month can again claim distinction. for in 2G years of record there have been only five other February days when Che temperature went that low. There were two zero days in February. 1890 and three in Fohru- ary. 1g17 one Of Che latter three having reading of 10 degrees be- low zero.
 An unusual feature of Che weather of Che month was Che large amount of sunshine. there being 13 clear days and 5SC5 of Che possible amount of sunshine. In Che respect Che month was almost am exact counter part of February. l917 which like wise had l3 clear days and 59rr oi possible sunshine Only July 1920. had a larger number Of clear days
 10 while November. 1921, equal cd last month with 13.
 There was a total Of 3.S3 inches of precipitation. included In which was Che water equivalent to lo.f in- ches of snow The normal amount of precipitation for February is 5.02
 inches. A measurable quantity of rain fell on 70 days of Che month. a. against a February normal Of la days with precipitation
 The month was Che windicst, with one exception. chat has been expert. ouccd in Juneau in Che five year. chat automatic wind registration has been made by Che Weather Bu. reau. The average hourly velocity for Che month was 7.G miles. a record exceeded only by chat of December .l9l7 when Che average was 7' miles. While the average velocity was higher In that month than ir last month. the maximum velocity for 1vo-minute period was only SC miles an hour as against q mile. am hour on Che 10th of February The highest previous record for ldye-mInute period was S6 miles an ! hour on March 12 1917. An ex treme velocity of 56 miles am hom on February 10th. likewise broke al ] raoorda.
