Washington, Norfolk, Oswego and Pembina. At three of these stations, viz: Cleveland, Duluth and Os wego, the northerly wind was probably the result of the cooler air of the Lakes moving toward the warmer land. Three of the stations, viz: Fort Sully, Fort Garry and Pembina, were situated on the north side of the area which was most heated; and two other stations, viz: Eastport and Mt. Washington were on the extreme eastern border of the heated area. At Mobile the velocity of the wind was only one mile per hour; at Norfolk and Yankton it was four miles; and at Santa Fe five miles per hour.
