A shower is predicted for this morning, but it will not influence to any appreciable extent the heat wave, now over the Kwanto district,

to the according Weater Bureau. Dr. Fujiwara the weather prophet of Tokyo, holds a depressing view of the outlook for Tokyo. He says he does not think

any coolor weather will come unless there be a change la the direction of the wind, which is improbable for sume time, judging from present conditions.
