The Recent Hot Spell Not the Hottest Every summer is the hottest, at least that is the way it feels >o tie man who Is sweltering, but the cold facts, if snch temperature may be so designated, show thai some seasons are hotter than others, and particu larly that tlio weather of last weelj ^a? not a record breaker. The records of tho local weather bureau oftyco indicate that Juno, 1800, July I8i7, 1H00, and Aujrugt 1900, nil had longer continued periods of heat nod ?>aeh period had higher temperatures, than during last week. In June 1899, the hot weather set in early with 07 degrees on the fith, followed by 100, 102. 101. 103, 00, *02, but on the 16th tlte temperature dropped to about 90 degrees. In July of ?bo same year, from tho 13th to i8th, in clusive, the following consecutive high temperatures were recorded : 98, 102, 105, 101. l'>3. 96. after which the temperatures were still in the nineties to the close of the month. On the 19Mi of August, 1000, the thermometer went up to IOC.
