walk last night was ‘ln the grip of
another cold spell that made itself felt
when the thermometer hovered
around 22 degrees at noon time. and
early in the night registered only 14
degrees.

At eight o'clock. with a strong wind
adding to the discomfort of the pedes—
trian. the mercury again started to fall
and was down near the five degree
mark in a. short while.

The coldest weather in recent yeais
occurred on December 30. 1917. when
the mercury fell 12 degrees below
zcdo. No‘ndication of a similar tem—
perature to rthis winter has been
noticed. observers say.
