Monthly
Weather
Review,
July,
1894:
That,
from
the
Weather
Bureau,
of
Portland,
Oregon,
a
tornado,
of
June
3,
1894,
was
reported.
Fragments
of
ice
fell
from
the
sky.
They
averaged
three
to
four
inches
square,
and
about
an
inch
thick.
In
length
and
breadth
they
had
the
smooth
surfaces
required
by
our
acceptance:
and,
according
to
the
writer
in
the
Review,
"gave
the
impression
of
a
vast
field
of
ice
suspended
in
the
atmosphere,
and
suddenly
broken
into
fragments
about
the
size
of
the
palm
of
the
hand."
This
datum,
profoundly
of
what
we
used
to
call
the
"damned,"
or
before
we
could
no
longer
accept
judgment,
or
cut
and
dried
condemnation
by
infants,
turtles,
and
lambs,
was
copied--but
without
comment--in
the
Scientific
American,
71-371.
Our
theology
is
something
like
this:
Of
course
we
ought
to
be
damned--but
we
revolt
against
adjudication
by
infants,
turtles,
and
lambs.
