Snow at Sault the Earliest
Since the Fall of 1900
A despatch from Sault Ste. Marie,
Ont, says :—Snow Friday morning
was the earliest to arrive in the Sault
of any fall since 1890, when, on the
same date, September 13, a trace of
snow was recorded. , The early ar-
rival of snow was heralded by hail
and sleet. Hail was reported from the
section just east of the Sault, and
right in the city there was sleet both
in the afternoon and at night. The
sleet turned to snow, though it did not
whiten the ground at all. •
The pounding waves on Lake Super-
ior during the storm did not cause any
serious damage to the ships, but the
waves swept over the decks of some
of the smaller freighters.
A despatch from Cobalt says;—The
first snow of the season fell in Cobalt,
Swastika, and other northern points
Friday morning. It did not last.

to Japanese Nation
A despatch. from Osaka says: ---Ari
Imperial rescript dealing with the re-
construction of the national capital
has been promulgated. After dwelling,.
on the disastrous nature of the earth-
quake which was characterized as an
unprecedented national calamity, the
rescript appeals to the nation for a
supreme effort and drastic measures
to restate confidenceand also empha-
sizes the necessity not 'only for restor-
ing, but for further developing Tokio,
which it says is the politicaland econ-
omical centre of the country and the
main source of national civilization.
Tokio, says the rescript, remains the:
national :capital, although its outward
structure is destroyed. It further
states that a special organization has
been established for . the revival of
the capital and concludes by calling
for a united effort by the Government
and the people for the relief of suffer-
ers, the suppression of disquieting rii-]
moms and the revival of the national.
