A reactionary storm period is cent- ral on tbe 22nd, 23rd and 24th. A ser- ies of threatening to violent thunder storms will be quite natural for three to five days at this time, say from about Saturday, the 21st, to Wednes- day the 15th. With the atmospheric pressure at and about normal during these disturbances, nothing more than. normal April tbunder showers and hail may occur; but should the barorri eter fall suddenly to very low readings violet to tornadic storms would be quite probable,• Human oddities. A person's eyes are out of line in two cases out of five, and one eye is strong- er than the other in seven •persons out of ten. The right is also as a rule higher than the left. Only one person in fifteen has perfect eyes, the largest percentage of defects prevailing among fair-haired people. Thesmallest vibra- tion of sound can he distinguished better with one ear than with both, The nails of two fingers never grow with the same rapidity, that of the middle finger growing the fastest, while that of the thumb grows slow- est. In fifty-four cases out of one hun- dred the left leg is shorter than the right. Holidays Visitors iii Exeter Messrs.
