A new council will soon be organized in Oakland Knights of Pythias. The committee haying charge of the reception to the Grand Lodge has secured the Mechanics' Pavilion for that purpose, There will be & prome- nade concert and bail. Itis possible that there will also be theater parties. As yet there is no preparation for the holding of an encampment of the Uniform Rank In this city at the time that the Grand Lodge will be in ses- sion. It is probable that the encampment will not be held until August at some place o be selected in tho future. “The Ten Immortals” will hold their annual session in this City during the session of the Grand Lodge. From the number of applications tnat have been made 10 join this orgamzation it is prob- able that the word “ten” will have to be stricken from the name. Representatives to the Grand Lodge will be elected at the first convention in April. The ne- cessary credentials and instructions have been sent out by H. Shaffuer, great keeper of records and seals. # Twenty-nine names have been signed to a peti- tion for & warrant to organize a division of the Uniform Rank in Hollister.

There is an excellent photograph in the latect number of the Navy and Army Tilustrated of *‘Lizzie,” the peu bear of the Seventeenth Lancers. Of the many regi- mental pets in the army not many, prob- ably, have a more interesting story. Her mother was shot in Cashmere eight years ago by Prince Adolphus of Teck, who brought' the cub to Lucknow, where the regiment was stationed, and gave heras a present to his troop. Shortly after this the cub was lost for a year. Then one day & man came round with a performing bear, which was recognized as ‘‘Lizzie.” ~Since then “‘Lizzie” has remained with the Sev- enteenth, with whom she came to England in 1889. She is a great vet with all ranks, for her own part reciprocating the_affec- oudy ®Rain; ® Snow rmxplanation, The arrow fifes with the wind. The top figurés at station indicate maximum temperature for the days; those underneath it, it any, the amount of rainfall, of meited sndw in inches and hundredths, during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid lines, ‘connect points of equal air pressure; iso- therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word “high” means high barometric pressure and Is usually accompanied by fair weather; “low” efers to low prossure, and is usually preceded and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains. “Lows" usually first appear on the Washington coast. When the pressure s high in the Interior and low along the coast, and the fsobars extend north and south along the coast, rain is probable: but when the “low"” 18 Inciosed with Isobars of marked curva- ture rain south of Oregon is improbable. With = “high” in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure falling to the Californla coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in win- ter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result. WEATHER BUREAU REPORT. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL- TURE, WEATHER BUBEAU, SAN FRANCISCO, March 16, 1896, 5 p. X.
