sided in Kansas forty years ago said
a blue cloud Invariably betokened
a cyclone while another who had late
| ly been reading the Seven-Day Adven
j tlst literature predicted that it fore
! told the end of the world. An old Yu
| koner who was called upon for his
! upinion said that the blue streak was
' nothing more than a clear sky, which j
it was. However, It soon concealed
! and normal conditions prevailed.” <
