Signal Observer Barwlck, in charge of
the Sacramento Signal Office, hes received
the following circular from Lieutenant
John P Finley, of the Division of the Pa
cifc, San Francisco. 1t will be found of
interest to interior cities and towns:
For the wider dissemination of the weather
forecast mace at this Office, the Chief Signal
Officer at Washington has authorized the turn
ishipg OF daily Geographic messages of weather
and temperature TO certain selected points in
the State of California, under the following con-
ditions:
j. 1t is intended to inaugurate this service on
September /, le9), or as soon thereafter as pos.
sible.
2. Only one warning will be sent daily to any
point. Forecasts are made twice daily at this
office and are delivered at the Western Uni n
telegraph Office in this city. ready to be wired
at 9i5 A. NJ. and Gas T. NJ.
3. Each place must elect to receive either the
morning or evening forecast, but change can be
made from one 10 the other, upon properly no.
tifying this Office OF the desire 10 make such
change.
4. 1elegraphic forecasts viii only be sent at
Government expense over the lines of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, as it will be
impracticable to authorize more than one tariff
to any point, in view Of the large number of
applicants for weather reports. and the limited
appropriation available Tor telegrdphing them.
II it becomes necessary 20 arrange for the trans
miss on of the messages over the lines of any
other telegraph company. the expense for the
same must be betrayed by the persons receiving
the message.
5. Flags used for signal displays are fully de-
scribed IN the inclosed circulsr. Owing to the
fact that the Signal Service has no appropria-
tiou for the purchase of weather and tempera-
ture signal flags il will be necessary for all
persons using such means of display to furnish
the material at taeir own expense. 1he in
closed circular gives the address OF manufactu-
rers In this city and elsewhere, from whom the
necessary outfit can be purchased.
8. Telegraphic forecasts will only be sent at
Government expense to such persons as will
furnish the necessary hsgs ana display them
for the benefit OF the public. This is the policy
OF the Chief signal Omeer, who mas determined
that by the display Of weather signals the fore
casts are brought more prominently before the
public than II posted in bulletin form. Many
enterprising business firms are willing TO per
form this work gratuitously, in return for any
additional publicity that may be afforded them
In this connection, besid, 5 procuring the flags

flags snd displaying them. any person receiy-
ing the forecasts must also agree TO render
