ginal paths, according to the bull
letin.
IT Is well known that only q
portion Of all tropical cyclones
reach the coast OF the United
States and that only q few Of
these are Of hurricane intensity
The number varies greatly from
year to year
The bulletin Is authority for the
statement that as far as is known.
no tropical cyclone OF hurricane in
tensity ever reached the Gulf or
South Atlantic coast In any OF the
other months Of the year except
June, July, August. September and
October.
1T is interesting and important
TO none" the bulletin continues,
that no state has an average of one
hurricane a year. The greatest
frequency during the period OF 30
years is an average OF one each
l.3 years in Florida.
1T has been the experience Of
all weather bureau officials who
have investigated the amount and
kinds Of damage done by hurricanes
that even welI-constructed frame
buildings do not. as q rule suffer
nor than relatively minor damage.
Few well-constructed buildings col
lapse and either kill or endanger
lives Of occupants. except possibly
the greatest OF hurricanes.
There is nothing now known to
science to gainsay the statement
that. considering long periods Of
time. there has not been any mate
rial change In the number OF hur-
ricanes that have occurred, In their
general paths and their character
istics. or that there will be any
material differences during long
future periods. Therefore. no pre-
dlctcn can be made as to the num-
Der OF hurricanes which will occur
during a given year or period or
years. nor as 10 the states that will
be affected by them"
II Is reasonable to expect. there
fore. that since hurricanes have weT
known general paths and that they
have not struck the Valley. that the
odds r against their doing SO.

according to Albert Rieth Of TT.
Worth. Texas. representative Of
George Kilgen a. Son, Inc, who in
stalled the instrument here.
One set of pipes Is the Gemshorn.
II Is a peculiar shaped muted metal
pipe, little less than medium
strength: exceptionally devotional n
tone and beautiful IN character. It
Is different in tone from any other
stop IN the organ. being somewhat
on the order OF the Dulciana, al
though richer and brighter.
The Dulciana stop is of medium
scale, 4 rather soft stop used for ac-
companying purposes.
The Diapason Is the fundamental
organ stop. having a very large
scale with thick walls to give a
loud. smooth. round and dignified
tone. 1T is used at different times
in the larger organs at different
strengths.
Among the strings Is the Salicion-
al, corresponding 10 the second vio-
lin; fairly pungent In character and
OF medium strength.
The Viox Celeste is a string with
two ranks. one Of the ranks being
the Salicional and the other Of the
same character and strength as the
Salicional but tuned slightly sharp
so as 10 give a wave.
Among the flutes Is included the
Bourbon with large scale wooden
stopped pipes. with less than medium
strength. and characteristic tone
somewhat OF a dull. drolling quality.
The stopped Diapason Is a stonped
wood pipe Of medium strength. fluty
in character.
The Melodia Is an open wood pipe
flute In character slightly lighter
and brighter than the stopped dia-
paSOn.
Other stops on the oragn include
the violin diapason. flute d'armor,
Iieblich Gedackt and Flaut0 dulce.
Other Kilgen organs in the VAL
ley are IN the Capitol Theater and
Presbyterian and Baptist churches
at Brownsville, and the Rivoli
Theater In San Benito.
The Capitol organ frequently Is
heard ove Radio Station KWWG.
The organ at San Fernando Cath
edral in San Antonio Is q Kil1en
organ and the Oldest IN the state.
IL also Is said 10 have the sweetest
tones Of any organ In Texas. NJ.
