Show A Very Hot Week. This has been a hot week. The temperatures, as taken by Mr. Bleak the Government observer here, shows that the average highest temperature in the shade for the week was 108.51; while the average coldest temperature for the week at night was 59.85. As usual we had the highest possible per ceDt of sunshine. The hottest day was Wednesday, when the mercury climbed up to 111; Tuesday, Thursday and Friday Fri-day the highest temperature was 110. The highest temperature recorded last year was only 109, so we have had four days warmer this year than last. Some of the thermometers in town registered as high as 116 this week. The weather since yesterday noon is perceptably cooler. |
