Temperatures and Rainfall for the Whole Country. 



[From United States National Weekly Weather Bulletins.] 



Week ending September 5. — Cool weather developed in 

 the northwest and extended into the Rocky Mountain districts 

 by Tuesday, with freezing temperatures in Wyoming. Warm 

 weather continued over the more eastern districts until near 

 the middle of the week, when it was gradually displaced, 

 especially over the northern portions, by the advancing cool 

 weather from the west. This was followed by a gradual 

 increase, and at the close of the week temperatures were un- 

 usually high in the central and southern portions of the 

 country and over the middle Atlantic coast districts. Heavy

 the temperatures in the central valleys were more nearly 

 normal. At the beginning of the week a considerable area of 

 rain covered the districts from the lower Missouri valley and
