To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In summer, San Jose is free from the fogs and winds of San Francisco, while in the winter, instead of the soft balminess of the Golden Gate City, the air of San Jose has a frosty touch. Fruits from the rich vineyards and great apricot, prune, olive and almond orchards of the valley are brought into San Jose for shipment and distribution, while the city is the center in the production of prunes and cured fruits. Three miles from San Jose is Santa Clara, the two being connected by the famous Alam...eda, or shaded drive. Alum Rock, a noted pleasure resort, is one of the suburban attractions and is reached by a six mile trol- ley ride. The Calaveras Mountains are to the eastward, and here, on the apex of Mount Hamilton, 26 miles southeast, is the world-famed Lick Obser- vatory, at 4200 feet elevation. It was founded by a legacy of $750, 000 left by James Lick, of San Francisco, and is attached to the University of California, being among the leading observatories of the world. It has one of the largest and most powerful refracting telescopes in ex- istence; the object glass being 36 inches in diameter.
