valuable Bureau of Scientific Observa-
tion and Weather Records.
The value of this bureau of scientific
observation has long since been acknOwl-
edged, and its benefits extend to nearly
every branch of industry, on land and
sea. The signal service station at Gin
cinnati was established in 1871, and since
that time the records Of this office have
been continuous. The duties of this
service consist Of taking observations,
which are recorded and the establish
ment of daily reports upon the storms
and atmospheric phenomena which
occur. These observations are taken at
stated points, day and night, at the same
moment of time, all over the country at
the various stations, the seventy-flfth
meridian Washington time) prevailing
in all cases. The reports, when made,
are telegraphed to Washington by cipher
dispatch upon which the indications for
the succeeding twenty to thirty-six
hours are based. When the official re-
ports from Washington are received,
they are translated and placed on the
bulletin, copies OF which are posted in
conspicuous places for the benefit Of the
public.
These bulletins are largely consulted
by the Board Of Trade, Chamber Of Com
rnerce, and by business men of every
community, aud, to a certain extent, gov
ern them in all their transactions
The principal signal in use at the Gin
ci2nati signal service station is the cold
wave signal, which Is ordered up
from Washington, when the temperature
Is expected to fail from fifteen TO twenty
OF more degrees.
