For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] A slow reading of Olive Senior's hurricane story Abstract Over the course of the 20th century, recourse to satellite and radar technology, and the use of reconnaissance aircraft, has greatly assisted the tracking of tropical cyclones. In addition, data buoys are now employed throughout the Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic and Pacific es aboards to relay air and water temperature, wind speed, air pressure and wave conditions that enable more accurate prediction and monitoring of storm systems. But before the people of the Caribbean had recourse to modern instrumentation and communication, surviving a regular hurricane season was founded on sensitivity to environment, accumulated knowledge passed from one generation to the next by word of mouth; and what amounted to a rehearsed, even ritualised, set of practices. As Jamaican Canadian poet Olive Senior writes in 'Hurricane Story, 1903': In those days storm warning came by telegraph to Postmistress. Living in the bush, Grandfather couldn't see her rush to broadcast the news by posting a black flag.

    SELECTED DEATH NOTICES FROM JACKSON COUNTY, KANSAS, NEWSPAPERS VOLUME V 1900-1902 COMPILED BY DAN FENTON 2003 INTRODUCTION At the beginning of the time period covered by this volume, there were four newspapers being published in Holton, The Holton Weekly Recorder, The Holton Weekly Signal, The Tribune, and The Kansas Sunflower. The Soldier Clipper, and the Whiting Journal continued in their respective cities. In Circleville, the Circleville News ceased publication on November 8, 1900, and was soon replaced by the Jackson County World, which began publication on December 7, 1900. In Hoyt, the Hoyt Sentinel began publication on April 12, 1902. In Denison, the Denison Herald began publication on September 25, 1902. As noted in the previous volumes, not every death reported in these newspapers is included in this book, only those seeming to have some connection with Jackson county. A death notice could appear in different newspapers and from different sources within a.paper. One principal notice is listed with excerpts from other accounts being used only when there is differing or additional information. Accolades to the deceased success as a Christian, parent and citizen have been deleted when possible, because of space consideration. Three ellipses denote the deletion of part of a sentence and four that of a sentence or even paragraphs. Each death notice is numbered consecutively and it is this number that appears in the index, not the page number. This is an all surname index that I hope will help the researcher identify family relationships that otherwise would be hidden. The index begins on page 893.

  • Constituting Governance:The US Army in the Philippines, 1898-1920S
    The Newsletter | No.55 | Autumn/Winter 2010 26 The Focus: Urbanisation in East Asia Constituting governance: the US Army in the Philippines, 1898-1920s This essay looks at the transformation of Manila and its peri- phery over two decades, beginning with the American occupa- tion in 1898. The US Army’s success in pacifying the provinces is frequently associated with its ‘reconcentration’ of the rural population, which cut off the insurgency’s economic and material support. What is not recognised is that this was a spatial intervention and that it is equally important to examine how the state was constituted in order to understand how its technical or infrastructure programme worked. When the United States staged a theatre of war in the Philippines, the city was the initial site of operations. The offi cial end of the Philippine-American War in 1903 transformed indigenous resistance into a guer- rilla war with important implications for state superstructure and infrastructure. This study argues that the US military, represented by the Philippines Division, contributed to the early establishment of highly centralised state-initiated urban and regional reforms, including the initial conceptualisation of regional autonomy and the later integration of Mindanao. Sources of authority It is important to establish the depth of the Philippines Division’s involvement in post war rebuilding eff orts. The First Philippine Commission, appointed by US President William McKinley on January 20, 1899, came on an investigative mission. The Second Philippine Commission (September 1900-August 1902) had legislative and executive powers to begin organising a system for governing the archipelago.
