(By wor Boytleld oorkooponde0)
A .seiche was noticed here on
Sunday evening about eight-thirty
e'cleck. .Stephen .Scoteinner re-
ports that the river drained dry
so that at the Boat Club dock, the
fish were flopping around in the
mod. And the boats were dust
hanging by' their painters,
Then the water rushed in again
with such force and to such a
height that a dock, recently con,'
strutted by the boat club at Scot-
elimer's Park, floated. This was
repeated three times before the
tidal.wave began to subside.
This phenornen is always assoc-
iated with stormy weather and ex-
treme barometric pressure, The
water is literally gathered up In
a heap in the lake by Pressure and
wind and then released, This
starts the tidal wave movement.
