Portland SDent another day yester dav sweltering In the excrutlating heat which hae prevailed during the last week. While the temperature yester day did not go as high as on Sunday, It undoubtedly was hotter owing to the slight cloudiness which prevailed. The clouds, according to Edward A. Beals, district weather forecaster, were not thick enough to keep the piercing ray of the sun away, but acted as a medium to prevent radiation. The heat was confined by the clouds and for that reason the city generally suffered from the heat about as much as it did bun dav when the temperatures were hlo-her. The maximum temperature yesterday was reached at 4 o'clock when the offi cial thermometer on the roof. of the Custom-House showed 95 degrees. At 5 A. M. a cool breexe was blowing and the mercury registered 7 degrees. Thla kept up until T o'clock when gradual rise waa noticed until noon when the thermometers registered 85 degrees. At 1 o'clock the heat reached the 4 mark and an hour later reached the maximum of 5 degrees. Between then and P. M. the variation was slight ther being only a three-degree drop. Between 6 and 7 P. M. a notice able drop was felt and at I P. H. the air was comparltlvely cool. The forecast for today Is, "Fair and Cooler with westerly winds for Port land and vicinity." Mr. Beals says that cooler weather will be felt In all por tions of the state excepting near the Coast. The hourly temperatures yesterday were: 1A A. 11 A. 12 M. t P. M... M.. M.. M... M... M... M...

The totals they gave showed that 46,000 gol Ions of the Ice cream was sold yesterday to meet the demand. C. M. Egbert said he had been In busl ness for ten years and had never seen such a rush. His company put out 10,000 gallons of Ice cream. To handle his output 11 additional wagons and two automobiles were necessary.
