f HH? 1U1LIH \(. Steelwork <>i Palmetto llitiitlinir in ('oluiiil?ia Mown Out 01 I'lumlj l?j Wind. Tbe S'ate, Saturday. Yesterday thousands of Columbians blew around the corner of Main and j Washington streets to see and hear and dodge the fall of the Palmetto building. Many of these who braved the breeze were sorry they went, included the men who wore! hats. For everybody early yesterday morn-! i ing?as early as 3 o'clock predicted j that the high wind would create havoc ?said havoc consisting of Palmetto building (not yet completed), Union. National Bank building (not yet com-j pleted) and the wire of the Postal j Telegraph company, the Western Un-I ioy Telegraph company, the Bell Telephone company and the Columbia I Street Railway, Light and Gas company (all completed). Those visiting the scenes of the wreckage and those who were not; blown away testified yesterday that the breeze was decidedly breezy. Ex- 1 ? * - ^ J- - ' perls said that tne I'auneuu UUUUlUg "was out of plumb" goto? up The,' Union National Bank building stood: pst. The gale blew the upper stories of ; the steel frame-work several i::chcsj out c: plumb. John J. Cain, the contract>" who is! erecting the Palmetto building, saicij i?iat the havoc wrought by the wind w&s of little consequence. Ic was eas-| \$y remedied yesterday by guy ropes j i* the hands of the men who are put- j , ting up the steel. Mr. Cain said that ! 1~ ,-vl,, mKor? 1 the frame-wort -was Deiug as the rivets were driven home and that the upper stories of the building were held in place merely by bolts. This accounts for the fact that the building was blown out of plumb. The upper stories were restored to the perpendicular yesterday without any trouble. The big steel frarn* building at the fair grounds, in which the main exposition will be located, withstood the gale well.. No damage was done to it * - a warning" mes oy nit; nigu muu. w sage was issued to those in the buildings on law range to vacate. The | warning was issued by Chief May? WIND BLEW FRIDAY. Storm Friday Moraing Accompanied by High Wiads.* Followed by Cold. !' Speaking of the weather?everybody was doing it Friday. There was so much weather that it crowded out ev j ery other thought and interest, anui people could scarcely do any work for discussing the storm and relating , their experience of the night before, j Those who live ;n frame houses told 1 how the structures rocked and shook until the very beds swayed, and everybody could relate a tale of banging tolinds and smashing panes and creaking and groaning trees. It was a very severe wind storm and a very unusual one, so said Mr. Gereu of the Columbia weather bureau. Its undsual feature lay in .the fact that it was not one of the customary Westj iT^i^ hurricanes but was an inland j blow and for such a storm was very intense. In Columbia the wind averaged 40 miles an hour Thursday from 3 a. m. until daylight, the highest Telocity being 52 miles an hour, maintained for five minuttes. "We do not measure less than a mile," Mr. Gereu explained, "and so we do not get each gust, of course and I am sure some of tthose Thursday night easily reached a velocity f 70 miles an hour." Height of Storm. The height of the storm in Columbia was reached at about 3:30 o'clock Friday morning for the barometer} stood still during that quarter of an hour and then began to rise. The wind however, did not lull perceptibly after that but kept up the furious howll through the remaining hours of dark-j ness. It rained considerably too, the j downpour adding at times to the gen-] eral bedlam. However, only .18 of an inch fell. The temperature Thursday night wa? quite moderate until between 3 and 4 o'clock when there wac a short drop ot several degrees. Prom that time until 4 o'clock in the afternoon the highest temperature was 41 and the lowest 38. This storm was central Thursday night over Alabama and moved northeast, increasing considerably in intensity as it advanced. Calculating roughtly its centre passed about 200 miles from Columbia toward the nortnwestem part of the State. Columbia was just about in the eastern quadrant of the storm and as the winds of generally highest in this quadrant, it is probable that it was in this1 section that the storm wag at its serer So'illi Carolina. Oi' course the dread and fear of the 1 storm vanished with the coming ol' the morning and with the tempering 111 slight decree of the wind, but the dis? 7 comfort naturally increased with the. necessity to go forth and face tile gale. It kept up an average of 3G miles j during the forenoon ana 01 auout 01 or 3U until sunset. Women tied their : I small hats tightly on with veils and held Iheir large hats securely with1 both hands. .Most of the men grasped j their hats firmly too, and those who j didn't grasp chased and finally fished j the sportive head wear out of a drain i or a puddle. During the early part of j the day there were lots of convenient puddles. Later 011 these dried out but | there was a plenty of dust to add. difficulty to the chase. THE CA.TOEW -NEWS SOLI).
