Rev. Mr. Wickham had quite a large gathering in Holtz Hall last evening. It | seemed more like a large family party than anything else, and it is rarely that the services of the church are entered into more heartily than they were last| evening.

H. W. Lynch of Washington Township deserves something, though, perhaps, oth- ers may deny his right to be the next Superintendent of Schools. Mr. there Lynch made public an interesting little docu- ment which sets forth that are many things required by a County Super- intendent. Such an official should be ac- quainted with the interior of the coun- ty, he should advance the interests of the country schools, should be thoroughly acquainted with and in sympathy with his work and should also possess many other needed accomplishments to fit him for the office. And this very patriotic letter, written no doubt in the interests of the public schools of this county, concludes, after recapitulation of the qualifications with this modest sentence: “In view of the above suggestions, I golicit your support at the coming prim- aries.

The Alden Besse Lost Oakland has had a lot of fun with its Grand Jury. But it must be admitted Two of Her Boats in the Gale. that much of it was of a serious nature. ‘While it is not likely that San Quentun will receive any new guests as the re- sult of the protracted inquiries, still the work of the jurors has had a good ef- fect. The summoning of many of its witnesses has aroused public attention un- til it became curious to dig below the surface, and this it has been doing. In fact, public opinion has gone farther be- low the surface than probably the Grand Jury, and it has had its eves opened to many things of which it was previously unaware. There is no doubt that when important measures like fixing water rates come up they will receive the at- tention they deserve long before the time when the Councilmen took them in hand. They will be made matters to be passed upon at conventions rather than mob meetings, which are too late. There are other chapters of interest in the doings of the Grand Jury. Some of the prettiest of political work has been attempted, but owing to the great promi- nence given to every action in the secret chamber, many schemes caréfully laid have been frustrated. In justice to some of those whose names have been handled very freely in con- nection with alleged scandals, there is one idea that must not be entirely smoth- ered.

JURING PAST (2 MTuRS — HXPLANATION. The arrow flies with the wind. The top fig- ures at station indicate minimum temperature for the days; those underneath it, if any, the amount of rainfall or of melted snow in inches and hundredths during the .ast twelve hours. Isobars, or solid lines, connect points of cqual air pressure; isotherms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word “high” means high barometric pressure and s usually accompanied by falr weather: *low'’ refers to low pres- sure and is usuaily preceded and cccompanied by cloudy weather and rains. ‘‘Lows” usuaily first appear on the Washington -oast. When the pressure fs high in the interlor and low long the coast, and the isobars extend north and south along the coast, rain is probable; | but when the “low” is inclosed with isohars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is im- probable. With a “high” in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure falling to the Call- fornia ccast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce am opposite resuit. WEATHER REPORT. SAN FRANCISCO, May 1, § p. m. WEATHER CONDITIONS AND GENERAL FORECASTS.
