that timid people thought something
terrible was in the air. The Oldest

However, when the rain came it was
without any blow at all. 1t fell for
half an hour, perhaps, and did flowers
and vegetation great deal of good.
The temperature played more
freaks this week. Thursday morning
the thermometer went down TO 50 de-
grees, and vests were in order, with
more substantial clothing than just

very high all day Thursday.
Those who saw the sunset Thurs.
day evening were repaid for their
trouble in looking at it. 1t was simply
wonderful. Everything in the west
was of golden hue, and when the sun
got down close to the horizon, the
clouds formed into an effect like a
huge piece of watered silk in the sky,
the effect being wonderful. And more
than that, there appeared to be two
suns. An opening like huge eye ap-
peared in the fieecy yellow clouds,
and below this great eye was another
opening, so that when the sun crept
lower and lower there appeared to be
two suns of the same size and daz-
zling brilliancy, making it spectacle
of appealing interest. Later there
were huge streaks of we'll outlined
color in faint blue, yellow and green,
with a tinge of red, very slight, but
beautiful. Few people ever saw a
more beautiful sunset.
