and leaving undone something which
ought to do. For example: After my last
article-interviews with prominent citizens
THE HERALD commissioned me to get W
another article for it, in the nature of Z
meteorological report. 1t is a fact that ]
have devoted considerable time to the study
of the upper deep and the lower shadows
and this paper seems intuitively to get onto
everybody's special qualifications and tc
utilize just what they are best adapted to-
1t requires some little assduity along
with no little prescience and mandamus tC
get thoroughly posted on wind currents
and such like. But flatter myself that ]
have got there with both feet, and here
with present you with the result of my
labors in that behalf made and accom-

Such an event had not been seen in the last.

not at all to compare with the recent dis

predicted this storm as much as two or
three months beforehand, as / am able to
prove; only there was little more destruc-
ton than was looked for. OF course, we
meteorologists do not pretend to measure
degrees of violence so far ahead.
1t will be remembered (perhaps) that
some weeks ago gave it out that on the 7th
instant there would be violent atmospheric
disturbances in this valley. Those who
remember the circumstance at all will
also remember that l announced that the
big blow would get as far south as Utah
lake and create a kind of waterSpout which
would have the effect of landing some of
Brother Musser's shad into the Jordan;
besides this the water, on encountering
the triangular current from Sagittarius
and the agnostic- biometric line from
Jupiter PluViuS, would be dashed into
sheets of spray and sprinkle all the clothes
that were hung out on lines in the fornica-
ton belt of . tab county. / also announced
shat coinCident with this spur of the
main column of wind would shoot toward
the pole, splitting at Kaysville bench and
going around Ogden-because no blowingi is
needed there-getting together again near
Hunsucker's ranch and proceeding right
along without interruption to its destina-
ton. Unluckily no one stayed up till
a. N, to see these wonderful manifesto

AThe next day had set apart for a regu-
lar snowy drizzle. l announced that the
driz. would begin at Tor about the south
east corner of William H. Smiths sheep
corral on the Buttermilk fork of the
Weber, proceeding thence southerly 25 de
grees and Is minutes, and thence west
erly Gy northerly about enough degrees
TO bring it right into the heart
and liver of this city, where it
would rage with undated fury
till somebody bated it; WhereupOn it would
unload some more discomfort and then
settle on the bosom of the Great Salt Lake
and remain in that DleaSurable position all
night This kind of thing being against
the special legislation prevailing in this
territory, the next morning there would
be nothing left of it but some snow and no
other evidences of its presence than a few
PROSTATE buildings and a lot of overcoats
that wouldn't seem to mind it because of
having been in soak since last spring. This
storm was to be corker while it lasted.
Unfortunately, l am unable TO demonstrate
tune because of the fact that
the atmospheric solar pleXus
effected a conjunction with the ad captain
dunn vulgus of the storm at Kalamazoo,
Mich, as it was sweeping onward to US in
line slightly DETECTED from our true iso-
thermal belt, and held it there for no less
than six hours. twenty three minutes and
forty-four and one quarter seconds. This,
if the reader will take the trouble to figure
il up, allowing that the storm cloud had
registered pressure of 146 $40 cubic inches
of air per square foot in its rear, all as &C
tive as though they had been taking V. T.
RApnls, will show that my calculation was
n6f0nly substantially but technically cor
Sect. Smith was onto it in good shape and
had the corner of his ranch aforesaid
braced against the tempest, which of
course did not come at all after having
missed its connections in the way men
toned. l am not responsible for this,
though Smith seems to think I am and
threatens to make me think so if he ever
catches me outside the corporate limits.
On the Sth, l announced as much as two
hours beforehand that the moon would
rise as full as goose, and it did, although
most things in that condition usually fall.
On the 9th. had everything fixed for a
very fine display of shooting stars and
meteors, but something must have been
wrong with the pyrotechnical department
overhead: there could have been nothing
wrong with me. There was a little shoot
s. Sng on the 10th, but this came upon US IN
awares.
| amour ced that there would be some
clouds tnore or less) at different times
during lie month: so far, as the reader has
doubtless observed, this has been literally
fulfilled: the clouds appeared on time.
| believe l forgot to state that there
would be some little wind either at the
beginning or closing of the past week, or
that if this was not the case it would
occur sometime between those two points,
or else be carried over into this week or
next. 1t is as well to be prepared for it
anyway.
JuplIer was in conjunction with the
antipodes last evening, and Venus looked
at Mars in manner suggestive of rather
Indifferent bringing up. This means a
storm If it should come this week or
next, or at any time before Christmas, the
READERS of THE HERALD will not have it to
sa = Mat did not forewarn them.
The Liberal party is looking for a side
wind that will upset prevailing conditions
here about next February. After carefully
considering my psychometrical barometer
and my exclusive map of the solar system /
| am confident that no such occurrence will
take place. have, from close calculation
of the conditions, every reason to believe
that along towards that period cloud of
voters will appear on the other side of the
diagram and that the Liberal craft will be
upset and its rigging blown out CT the
county.
prom this time on, look out for weather.
This will surely come
IT is very chilly and raw to-day. Unless
this should change, it will last for some
time. ESSAY CAIGH.
