MANSILL.

Since the fuliliment of his prophecy in
regard TO the spots on the sun, our adj
mration for the meteorological abili-
ty of Prof. Mansill has greatly increased.
Mansill's diagnosis of the case was entire
ly of scientific nature and to use CON
mon expression. he struck the nail square
on the head. Mansill is engaged in a
good work and should be encour.
aged What comfort it is to have
right in our midst a wise-sayer that can
forewarn US of the approach of howl
ing blizzard or fetid simeon. By gaz~
inc at the orb of day and telling us how
old nature is going to behave during the
next "a hours And yet there are those
who scott at weather prognosticators and
discredit their predictions. But Mansill
is rapidly dissipating this idea. lie is
gradually elevaiing his professional
sphere above the breath of mis'rust, and
it is only such alleged prophets as Wig.
gins, of Canada, and DeNoe, of New Jer-
sey, that handicap the laudable calling
1t is commencing to dawn upon the
people that Mansill is the only true
prophet, and that Rock Island is the Gems
ter of reliable meteorological prognosti
cations. Long may Mansill wave hi,
mystic wand.
