THERE is difference Of opinion re-
sPecting Pcof Tees reliability as a
prophet. Jne Warren (Va.) Sentinel
says:
Prof Tice predicts the absence of snow
this winter. He failed so sigually in his
'meteoric showers" last week that people
have lost faith in his prophecies
Prof. Tice is probably correct. The
mistake is made by the Sentinel and
many other Papers in regarding their
particular localities as centres cf the
universe The people of Duluth
We're led into the same error by con-
sidering that the "aky touched the
horizon at exactly the same distance
all acolnd the city" The truth. j.,

expected. Read the following incon-
testable testimony from the Garrett

view, it Is not, strange that Biela s

switched with its tail the only place
on earth without an isotherm. Henc.
the conclusion is irresistible that the
predicted absence of snow this win
