The Wall For a marathon runner, the wall" is a barrier at which the body starts to succumb to the punishment of the first 20 miles or so. For hurricanes crossing the tropical Atlantic, the wall comes at longitude 60 degrees west.

It is there that winds from the west blowing around an upper-level high pressure system over northern South America encounter steering winds from the east over the Atlantic. This clash can tear storms apart. Andrew briefly lost strength when it hit the wall in 1992. The South America high has shifted south over Ecuador, removing the wall for Tropical Storm Chris. From Wire Reports Heavy rain fell across parts of the United States on Thursday, fueled by remnants of Tropical Storm Beryl in the Northeast and typical summer thunderstorms elsewhere.

Electrical storms stretched from coastal Texas to North Carolina. Showers also soaked parts of Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois, with scattered showers in the Dakotas. Golf ball-size hail fell at Tuscum-bia, Ala. Across the East in the six-hour span ending at 2 p.m. EDT, 0.97 of an inch fell at Glens Falls, N.Y.

0.86 of an inch fell at Montpelier, and 0.67 of an inch fell at Augusta, Maine. Showers and thunderstorms also formed across parts of the Great Basin, prompting a flash flood watch for southern and central Utah.

SAVINGS BONDS SHOULD BE IN YOUR PRFSENT. Blobs From Space!

BONDS A public service of this newspaper That's a long way for jellyfish to travel unless they're them in from the coast. Tliis is a head-scratcher." Mike Osweiler Hazardous-materials expert, on one theory for the blobs Dick Wilcox, RPh Randy Pratico, RPh Hospital Beds why they come only when it rains. After more than a weeks worth of phone calls to state and federal agencies, Barclift has persuaded the state Department of Ecology to conduct tests of the blobs.

Well take a look at it, said Mike Osweiler of the agencys hazardous-material spill response unit for Southwest Washington. Osweiler has heard all the theories, including the flying jellyfish one. Thats a long way for jellyfish to travel unless theyre shooting them in from the coast, he said. This is a head-scratcher. Barclift said shes more curious than concerned about the blobs, noting that the timing of the kittens death and the illnesses might be just coincidence.

But the fact the blobs have twice rained down on her house makes her wonder whats going on. Its weird, she said. runs using live ordnance, said Master Sgt. Thaddeus Hosley, spokesman at McChord Air Force Base. Hosley said the 354th Fighter Squadron was flying last week and this week, dropping bombs about 10 to 20 miles west of Ocean Shores.

Despite the 40 to 50 miles separating the bombing runs and the blob fallout, Oakville Chief ofPolice Gary Greub said somebody suggested a school of jellyfish might have been blown literally sky-high. McChords Hosley, trying but failing to stifle a laugh, said he could not comment on the jellyfish theory. Thats ridiculous, said Barclift. Besides, she said, this wouldnt explain why the blobs came twice or Seattle Poet-Intelligencer OAKVILLE, Wash. Blobs Fall From the Sky.

Kitten Dies. We dont know what it is or where it came from, said Dick Meyer, spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration in Seattle. Its a puzzle. Its a puzzle Sunny Barclilt wants Bolved. This stuff came out of the sky, Barclilt said.

I want to know what itiB. Twice in the past two weeks when it has rained, small blobs of clear, gelatinous goo have fallen on and around the home Barclilt shares with her mother, Dotty Hearn, on a 29-acre farm. The blobs, about half the size of rice grains, might have gone unnoticed had it not been for a number of circumstances, beginning with a small shed covered with black asphalt roofing. Barclilt, who moved to Oakville last year from Phoenix after working for six years as director of occupational safety and health for the Arizona branch of the National Safety Council, noticed the clear, jelly-like particles on the shed roof after the rain stopped. After the first blob shower Aug.

7, Hearn went to the hospital suffering from dizziness and nausea. Bar-clift and a friend also had minor bouts of nausea and fatigue after collecting and touching the mysterious goop. A newly adopted kitten, Full electric Semi-electric Manual Available with full or half rails 252 Stratton Road Rutland, VT 05701 775-3351 Little suggested the blobs might be concentrated fluid waste from an airplane toilet, since this could contain anti-freeze and wotlld explain the presence of human cells as well as the illnesses. The kitten) he said, could have been hurt by ingesting anti-freeze. But Little said there was no clear evidence of a health hazard.

Barclift called the FAA and eventually persuaded it to investigate the mystery blobs. Meyer said all commercial plane toilet fluids are dyed blue, so it seemed unlikely that was the explanation. He said the FAA investigator asked the military if there had been any flights over the area or any exercises that might explain the blobs. This is where the jellyfish theory came in, Meyer said. Its not clear who should get credit for proposing this theory, but its based on the fact that the blobs appeared around the time the Air Force was dropping bombs in the Pacific Ocean off the Washington coast.

They were conducting bombing which lived outside, died days later after a struggle with severe intestinal problems. The blobs came again in the rain Tuesday, but this time no one in the household fell ill. There have been no other confirmed reports of mysterious blobs, officials with several agencies said. But a National Weather Service employee in the area received a call from an unidentified man in early August describing hot, metallic particles from the sky that burned holes in his childrens trampoline. Dr.

David Little, who treated Barclifts mother, said he doubted that Hearns illnhss was connected to the strange blobs. Little said her dizziness and nausea appeared to be caused by an inner ear problem. But he agreed to have the lab take a look at the stuff anyway. The lab tech put the substance under a microscope, Little said. He found some human white cellB in it.

The hospital didnt do a chemical analysis, Barclift noted, perhaps because the lab staff seemed reluctant to test the blobs ip the first place.
