May closed its career with two very hot days. Temperature on the coast ranged from 73 degrees at Tacoma, Wash., to 120 at Yuma, Arizona. It was 90 in San Francisco, where there were one death and four prostrations from heat. The mercury rose in Sacramento to 102; at Red Bluff, 106; at Fresno, 108; at Phoenix, Arizona, 114. San Francisco recorded one of the hottest May days in its history, and it is said that never before were four heat prostrations recorded in one day.
