Instructions Given to Signal Otficers
Throughout the Country.
WASHINGTON, April %.

WAsHfsGroN, April %.
The chief signal officer has Issued the fol-
lowing instructions TO the indications off
cials:
In view of the great importance of the
long time weather predictions to the business
interests of the country. it is hereby directed
that on and after May /, 1883, the ndica-
tons officials shall make whenever practica-
BILE g. neral predictions showing the condition
OF the weather two or three days in adya1 ce.
The chief signal officer is aware of the un-
settled weather conditions not infrequently
ob'ai1ed throu ,hout the country to such al
extent as to preclude the possibility Of sue
cessful predictions even for l2 or "a hours
In advance. This class Of long time predic-
tons will be confined to su n occasions and
such sections of the country as form peculiar
and persistent meteorological conditions rs
,eem to assure successful forecasts. These
predictions will not be too much in detail
but will clearly set forth the section Of the
country for which it is intended and the days
of the week they will cover. The use of
such terms as warmer or colder should be
replaced as rule by warm, cold moderate
ly cold, etc. In making these long time fore.
casts the language should always be in such
form as TO convey clearly to the general
public the opinions of the indications officials
and also the degree of posltiveness attached
to his opinion"
The predictions will be furnished at the
same time as the regular detailed indications,
but will not appear regularly. Their non
appearance will signify that the indications
official did not think it ju iicious to make
advanced predictions.
