SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 10.
The Weather Bureau

One OF the facts of the time is the STEADY
deterioration in the quality of the weather
predictions furnished by the Signal once at
Washington. This has been going on for
years. By imperceptible degrees public con-
6dence and interest in the daily bulletin OF
probabilities has almost disappeared. For
saveral wears the proportion OF correct pre-
dictiops to failures was so remarkably large
that it seemed as if the Signal Office was re-
ducipg weather prophesy to an exact science,
and sold Probabilities" possessed the faith
ss well as the affectlonate esteem OF large
majority of his fellow citizens
During the long hot spell Of last summer
we showed by careful comparison CT pre-
dictions of temperature with the actual re-
cord that the propheses of the Signal Office
might fairly be considered to have been yer
fed but eight times out OF thirty-slx. The
ratio Of success TO failure was, therefore. Tar
below what would be expected if the indlcs-
lions were mere guess.work, or even if they
were determined by the toss of copper
coin. This test was suggested by some.
what preteutious proclamation from the Sig
nal Office, announcing, in effect, that the

nostications than before. From that
time on it seemed as if the thermometer
took malicious pleasure in discredting the
indications. This blithe but luckless self
assurance has been noted by every careful
reader of the newspapers over and over
again during the past ten months 1t was
strikingly illustrated last March. when the
tremendous blizzard came upon us unsu-
thorized By the Signal Office, the last indi'
cations from Washington previous to the
bursting of that phenomenal storm having
been as follows: Fresh to brisk southeast.
erly winds, warmer fair weather. followed
by rain.n The same thing has been OBJ
served during the dismal spell OF weather
we have just experienced.
We venture to say that the general inter
est now felt in the daily indications report
ed from Washington is not one tenth of what
it was ten years ago. This is not because
the novelty of the thing is wearing of. The
change must be due solely TO loss of conf.
dence 10 the trustworthiness of the Signal
Offices deductions from the data collected
at enormous expense at the stations all over
the country. The machinery is the same,
but the product is of an inferior quality. 1t
therefore happens that many, if not most
people, now pay hardly more attention to
the official representations than they would
give to the vague prophecies that used to
appear on the pages of the patent medicine
almanacs.-N. Y. Sun.
