The Board of Park Commis- sioners, economical and prudent. have before them a proposition to obtain land along Osgood avenue— a good site for a park, all admit. But the price for the 13 1-2 acres s $11,- 000, or nearly $815 an acre. This the board believes is too high The Herald fs confronted with land is rock bottom price at the next meet- ing of the board Residents of that section city naturally hope that the land can be procured by the board and con- verted into a park.

Albert Matthews has shown fhat it does not occur, either in printed books or manuscripts, until the year 1794, but at that time it was in use throughout the Atlantic states. The popular belief that In- dian summer weather was predicted by the native Indians to early Lu- ropean settlers, finds no documen- tary corrohoration. The notion that the term “Indian Summer"” was em- ployed by early settlers seems to be a myth. In general, neither this term nor anything corresponding to it is found fn any Indian language. The term “Indian Summer” in its present \usage was introduced England from America. In 1778 Horace Walpole used the expression, but evidently he had in mind the intense heat of midsummer weather in Tndia and the West Indies. term Indian Observations On The Weather Washington, Nov. 13 (P —The weather bureau today issued the following storm warning: “Advisory southwest storm warn~ ing 10:30 a. m, Virginia Capes to Boston.
