Text Appearing Before Image:
ersity is but fivemiles north of Oaklands center, at Berkeley—endow-ment $5,000,000; students, thirteen hundred. Oaklandchurches, sixty-six, all denominations; membership,eighteen thousand. Societies.—Fraternal, musical, and art, of opera-tive activity, are here found, as well as in the oldestStates. Clim.vte.—Fresh, cool ocean atmosphere, with noharsh winds. Why?—Because west of San Franciscorises a range of hills one hundred feet high, east ofOakland a range at its summit from seven hundred tonine hundred feet high. This pitches the summertrade winds of the ocean upward, as they pass overOakland, and to a height of (say) nine hundred feet.Oakland, cool, shaded and fanned, but never wind-swept, lies in the triangle of repose, on the slope eastof the bay, west of its own hills, and under the cloud-bearing trade winds of summer. There is more differ-ence between the San Francisco and the Oakland cli-mate than would be found in five hundred miles travelin the Mississippi Valley.
