Show MONTHLY METEOROLOGY. Observer Fitzmai hh e's monthly reports re-ports of the meteorological conditions of Salt Lake are invariably documents of great interest because they show our superiority over almost any other city in the matter of climate. Although March is proverbially a month of storms in other parts, and was not exceptionally exception-ally mild in this vicinity, still the barometer ba-rometer here shows no unusual disturbance, dis-turbance, the maximum air pressure being only about a epiarter of an inch shove tho normal and the minimum less than half an inch below it. The temperature would be considered delightful de-lightful anywhero oulsido of this favored spot, where nothing less than El.ysiau weather fills us with admiration. admira-tion. Remarkable indeed is the small range of temperature, the greatest being only 5S degrees, which is scarcely more than would mark tho difference dif-ference between noon and night. As usual the most noteworthy feature of our wonderful climate is the almost total absence of wind, tho average per hour even in blustry March being only about four miles. hi all our wide range of observation we do not know of another city that can equal this record. No wonder that physicians recommend this as a shelter from pulmonary pul-monary attacks. In point of precipitation precipita-tion the past month had the greatest rain and snow fall during tho sixteen years which the observer quotes, the amount being 4.66 inches. His report closes with the following significant data: "Number of cloudless days 7, partly cloudy days 10, cloudy days H." This remarkable prevalence of clear days in a month which had an unprecedented unpre-cedented record for falling weather, is worthy of notice. For sunshine and lovliness commend us to Salt Lake and Utah. |
