(r'nnf invl Kroin Klrwt rite. )
a well-known law of physics the wind
blows from the high pressure area to
that of Jow presunre. Hence the cast
v-ind. Whenever the "high" moves
on, as k must eventually, the "low"
will take its place, the. direction of
the wind will bo reversed and will
blow In warm and wet from the sea,
and Portland will again have tho kind
of weather It understands.
The barograph In tho weather bu
reau office, which gives a continuous
record of barometric pressure, traced
utair steps up and down across its re
volving cylinder yesterday, as the
storm off the coast moved In a little,
nd was then driven out to sea again.
Howr long this game will continue no
man can say, but the longer it lasts,
the better the chances are that it will
end soon.
Another bit of consolation offered
for shivering l'ortlanders is that
summer is coming. Today and to
morrow are the shortest days of the
year, so beginning Friday the days
will grow longer and the electric
light bill emaller. December 22 is
the usual date for the shortest day of
tho year, but this year the 21st and
Z2d are so much alike, as far as
length of daylight Is concerned, that
an astronomer, J. W. Daniels of Hill
Military academy, was unable to call
either one longer or shorter than the
ether. Tito weather bureau table
gives each of the two days 8 hours
and 37 minutes of possible sunshine
possible but not probable.
Several School Honed.
, As a result of Instirf lcient electri
cal power to operate the heating sys
tems and keep the buildings warm,
a number of the schools of the city
were compelled to shut down before
noon yesterday. Some remained
closed down during tho remainder of
tho day while others reopened In the
tfternoon.
Among the schools which were shut
down were the Iavis, Chapman, Ar
leta, Woodmere, Unnton and Will
lams, according to announcement of
the superintendent's office. The Couch
school was closed for a time during
the day but was able to resume opera
tions in the afternoon again. The
Hudson school was closed down with
the exception of two rooms, which
continue to operate. The Gregory
Heights school was closed down with
the exception of two rooms, and the
Kranklin primary school was operat
ing but one room.
At the Beaumont school the pipes
were frozen up so that it was neces
pary to shut that school also yester
day. The plumbers were working on
them yesterday and it was hoped to
be able to open that school again to
c'ay. The schools which were cloned
down on account of bad power yes
terday were also all expected to open
again this morning for work.
Powfr Fluctuates fur Time.
For some freaklin reason not fully
determined tho power from tho high
tension lines of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company between here
and Estacada came and went yester
day morning, causing streetcar de
lays, stoppage of elevators and the
dimming of lights. Yesterday after
noon the power was full and normal.
.As near as the company engineers
could make out the big tension lines
must have been blown together by
the high wind, causing short circuits.
While trouble chasers were at
tempting to learn what was causing
the Intermittent trouble, the entire
load of the city's electric power de
mands was thrown upon the two
liteam plants. This resulted in partly
restoring service until the trouble
lomedied Itself and full power came
through on the lines from Hstacada.
During the trouble, service was in
terrupted on practically all the west
side and on all the east side district
north of Hawthorne avenue. South
of Hawthorne avenue, practically no
trouble was experienced.

ature ranging between 17 and 20 de

A freezing east wind was blowing
fine particles of snow and Ice with
uch force that travel out-of-doors
was both difficult and dangerous, it
was said. Similar conditions were
reported at Shanlko. in the southern
part of Wasco county, where the mer
cury reached the low mark of six de
grees above zero last night. The
storm is causing local merchants to
lose thousands of dollars of cash busi

INTRY breezes and flurries of

The picture was held over on account
of popular demand and Is rapidly
making many additional friends for
the popular comedienne.
Miss Normand, whose "Mickey" will
always bo remembered, has a role
just to her liking in "Molly O." and
her famed big brown eyes help her
to make this comedy thoroughly en
joyable. Tho picture isn't entirely
straight comedy, for it has an ab
sorbing plot and romantic Interest in
addition to all the mirth-provoking
situations.
"Molly O" has a Clnderella-llke
theme, which la always attractive in
itself, for everyone enjoys seeing a
poor working girl marry a wealthy
man and live in luxury the rest of
her days. When the heroine has a
sense of humor, she i practically cer

Molly is the daughter of Tim O'Dair.

all his life to raise a decent family.
He has picked out for Molly's husband
young Eddie Gribbon. who looks to
be very much of a roughneck, but
recommends himself to Mr. O'Dair be
cause he bas never missed a day's
work.
Molly's idea of a husband Is Dr.
John S. Bryant, whose picture she has
seen in a newspaper as the wealthiest
young bachelor in her town. Of
course. Papa O'Dair don' trust men
who ride around In limousines and are

Papa O'Dair sends him away.
Molly runs away to the brilliant

meets her prince and marries him

to the story, which is not worthy even
of mention.

cher In a stove. The liquor flared up,
burning her painfully, but not seri

severe damage to the sound oyster
