NOBODY KNOWS

A good many Key Westers have been
asserting that we may have a hurricane
this season because of the heavy rains this
month.
But, and you have the assurance OF
r. L. Frost, meteorologist in charge of the
Weather Bureau in Key West, and Sam
Goldsmith, his assistant, who has been
charting hurricanes for 80 years, that no
type of weather is basis for determining
whether or not we will have hurricane
during what is called hurricane months.
Mr.. Frost has assembled considerable
data to show that hurricanes are likely to
occur or not to occur, regardless OF what
the Immediately preceding weather may
be. For instance, July, 1916, had the great
est rainfall during that month in the his
tory of the local Weather Bureau, which
goes back to 1870. The rainfall was 1889
inches, and no hurricane was reported in
this area during 1915. <
1t appeared when the bureau made
it's report yesterday for the rainfall this
month that the July record will be broken
before the end of this month. 1t stood at
1885 inches, only four one,hundredths of
an inch below the record. But don't con-
clude that the heavy rainfall is an indica-
ton that we won't have hurricane this
year. The records show several instances
to ,disprove that conclusion, the most out
standing of which was in 1885, when 1908
inches of rain fell in July, and that >was
the year when the devastating hurricane
struck the Matecumbes.
|. And light rainfall means nothing, so
far as hurricanes are concerned. FIR m
June to October. inclusive, in 1925, rainfall
was under normal every month, as much
as 372 in June, and no hurricane occurred
in this area during that year.
But rainfall was under normal in 1914,
with deficiency of 2.90 in June, and
several hurricanes were reported in this
area that year, one of which, on October
10, passed 40 miles west of Key West. :.
And don't think that summer tempera-
ture has anything to do with the coming
of a hurricane. In 1925, when we had no
hurricane, the temperature went above
normal every month from June to October,
and in 1914. when hurricanes occurred in
this area, the temperature was above
normal every month, except in October,
when hurricane passed near here.
One would think that cooler weather
in October, when the hurricane season is
nearing it's end, would improve the chances
of not having hurricane, but in October,
1914, the average temperature was 1.3 be-
low normal, and in 1925, when no hurri-
cane was reported, the temperature for
October was "a degrees above normal.
, These are the records. They prove that
no type of weather during the hurricane
season foretels the coming or the absence
of hurricanes Nobody knows what causes
hurricane.

a lot of things that haven't oeen
on the market, except in driblets,
for the past five years. Although
nylon lines now are available every
where and silk lines may be had,
the prices of the latter are almost
prohibitive and will continue so
for some time to come. Linen lines
are lust not to be had at this time,
except for occasional carry-over

The rod situation is easy with
respect to steel rods and will become
better. Many new firms are putting
out excellent rods for sale at rea-
sonable prices. This also applies to
some few casting reels. Don't be
afraid to purchase this newly
made equipment if it is backed by
the sports stores who sell it. While
much Calcutta bamboo now is being
seasoned and processed, 1t will be
some months before rods become

Judging from the early returns
there will be a goodly number OF

Oklahoma Aggies.

Missouri Valley League game, are
currently resting in fourth place
with q IL record while the St.
Louis Billikins, with victories over
Tulsa and Washington u, in addi-
ton to their conquest of the Aggies,
are in first place.
Cornell, Pennsylvania and Colum-
bia, the triumvirate expected to
dominate the Eastern Intercollegiate
League race, are right up at the
top of the standings, with Prince
ton keeping them company in the
unbeaten list. Cornell and Penn
are in front with 20 records, fol-
lowed by Columbia and Princeton
with 10 each. Dartmouth, de-
Tending champion, has dropped
both of its starts, losing to Co.
