This board | for 1890 is as follows: Directors chosen by the association: Messrs. R Huut, Summer- side; Geo. Compton, St. Eleanors; James Bareay, O'Leary; D.

Awful Heat in the Northwest. |

The temperature in the Mississippi Valley has been the highest ever known in June, reaching 20 deg. above the normal for that month. The consequence was such destroy- ing heat as the Northwest hag never ex- perienced before in its history in (he month of Juue, scarcely at all. At St. Paul, June 28, there were places in the streets where the thermometer registered 100 degs. in the shade, In St. Louis it was 100. At various points in the Mississippi Valley on 27th the temperature showed the Water- town, Wis , 104; Peoria, Lil., 104; Burling- ton, ta., LOG; Joliet, 1ll., and several other places adjoming 102. At Cincinnati, Louisville and Indianapolis the mercury was far up in the nineties the same date. In the South Atlantic States daring the heated term in the Northwest the heat was At Cin- cinnati ice rose to a cent a pound, and it was forbidden to sprinkle the streets on

been known to go as high as 130.

But the awful mortality reports tell a story that cannot be misunderstood. The cases of sunstroke seemed attended with peculiar fatality. In one instance in Chi- cago a gentleman had just risen from his breakfast, taken his hat and stepped out of the front door to go to business as usual. As his foot touched the sidewalk he fell over prostrated with heat, and in a few minutes, with no other warning than this, he was dead. For one day, June 29, twenty-six prostrations from heat were re- ported, and of these fifteen died, over half.

Of those whom the sun struck down in his fury the hapless aniimals suffered most. At one time 200 dead bodies «f horses lay about the streets swollen and frightful, although 300 had already been shipped lt was more than the city

human and quadruped dead and dying, and all the ambulances were taxed beyond their capacity. The number cf dead horses in the streets might have become a_ serious matter decaying in the streets. For ten days Chicago sweltered.

Persons exposed to the sun constantly of course suffer most. In one day, three let- ter carriers, faithful servants of the public, were stricken while going their rounds in performince of duty. One young man was simply sitting upon a high fence in the shade, doing nothing but trying t. keep cool. Suddenly the fatal stroke touched him and he fell backward into a vacant lot. When taken up he was dead. The fall broke his neck.

In two days in Chicago there were over 300 applications for burial permits. At one time 20,000 persons were il with ailmenis, sunstroke and otherwise, brought on by heat. The heaviest, saddest death rate in the history of the huge city by the lake was recorded. The lake breeze itself died out and left Chicago. Day after day cvol waves were predicted, but came noi. The cause of this unprecedented heat is explained, as far as it can be explained, in the following paragraph from a bulletin issued by the signal service bureau at Washington :

been the uniforin high pressure of the gulf region, with an almost stationary low pres- sure area in the northwest. This distribu- tion of the atmosphere has caused a steady flow of warm, dry air to the northward. The inflow of air has been too slow ty in- duce rainfall, and the consequent clear sky has been favorable to extreme radiation from the sun, which has raised the tem- perature steadily, without the usual relief from the passage of storms across the coun- try. Somewhat similar conditions prevail- ed over the eastern United States in May, 1881, and in the middle Mississippi valley, in June of 1874 and 1887. I[t is uo indica- tion of a change in climate.
