Heat Wave Hit* Hyder
Hyder has shared in no small

ous points about town have
registered up to 90 degrees in
the shade. A thermometer
placed in the sun is said to
have climbed to 112. Oldtim
ers say it has been the longest
and warmest high temperature
period in the camp’s history,
although higher temperatures
have been recorded over short
periods in earlier years. The
record is said to be 94 in the
shade.
Did You Ever Stop to Think—
That the earth is whirling j
around on its axis at the rate j
of 1,000 miles an hour, 16 2-3 ]
miles a minute—about a mile |
in the time it takes you to draw j
a deep breath?
That while the ea»*th is turn- j
ring a thousand miles an hour,
it is ako moving forward on its ,
orbit around the sun more than
a million and a half miles a
day—over 300,000 miles be
tween noon and midnight—
approximately 61,500 miles
hour?
That while the earth is trav
eling around the sun at this
terrific speed, the sun and all
its attendant planets are whirl
ing through space at incon
ceivable speed in the direction
of the brilliant blue star Vega,
a sun much greater in size than
our own sun, which can be
seen on clear nights almost di
rectly overhead?
If you like thoughts such asj
these, let us know and we will
print more of them.
