' tMstrle. Forecaatar Beal had hardly
Isaned bla weather map this morning,
predicting occasional light snows to
night, before the flakes began to fall In
a sort of straggling manner. The shower
was short-lived, however, for after a
; brief lull the east wind resumed opera
tion and drove th flak back to the
cloud. - -' '
Indication are that th weather win
moderate, although the very latest fore
cast does not bold out hope for sud-
- dea change for th better. Th winds
are expected to veer around to the south,
but will be variable for the next It
iours.
I Tbls morning was the coldest . this
t. winter, according to th thermometer
' at th weather bureau. It registered 14
. 1 degree above sero at t o'clock and stuck
ther until o'clock, when the mercury
hegan to crawl upward very alowly. The
temperature remained at IS degree un
til o'clock and then crept to IT and
:. finally to 1 by II o'clock. Then the
snow began to fall. .
- Tery Cold at Voom. t
. Instead of continuing rising th ther
mometer sprung a surprise by register
' tng only II -degrees t noon, showing
' that, even with th aun higher in the
- heavens, tb cold managed to increase.
- Tke temperature thla afternoon la hov
' erlnf ebont the to-degree mark and It
' will probably- remain ther during th
greater part of th night, because th
sky is gradually being lined with clouds,
. which, to those who know,, means milder
.' weather.

perature would mean a' solid sheet of

Even now It la with difficulty that the
