 Professor Agassiz visited San Diego in August, 1872, and then said: •''Jhis is one 

 of the favored spots ot the earth, and people will come to you from all quarters to 

 live in your genial and healthy atmosphere." Many have been disappointed and

 claim the best climate to be found anywhere. Mean temperature— spring 60, sum.
