Sketch Of His Early Life
What He Thinks Of Feb
ruary Weather.

One Of the most profound students of
astronomical science to be found within
the limits Of the state, and man whose
weather predictions have attracted uni
versal attention since his acceptance of
the craftsmanship Of the meteorological
committee in 1870, is Martin n. Kellogg,
of this city, and who resides with his
family at $50 Aurora avenue. During
recent years, partly from the fact that
the unreliability of the predictions of
such men as Virgins and others of like
llk has attracted attention to the al
most invariable correctness Of Kel-
logg's deductions, his representations
have come to be looked for with greater
interest and their wonderful accuracy
has been. commented on and dis
cussed in scientific circles as
among the sometimes too credulous
housewives of the city, many of whom
are in the hapit of visiting the Kellogg
mansion for the purpose of discovering
whether or not ''it is safe to wash to-
morrow" In October last the blind
prophet went on record with the asser-
tions that the river would freeze over
on Nov. %, and it did freeze up on that
date. The month of January, he said,
would be cold enough for carnival pur-

His death decimates still further the
honorable ranks of our worthy old
pioneers. among whom he stood in the
very front rank, St. Paul having been
his home for the last forty years.
He was born in Lebanon, Pa. in the
year 1926, and was graduate of Litiz
college, near Lancaster. Pa. He went
to Philadelphia, where he met his wife,
who was Miss Ann Kirk, coming to this
city in 1850, establishing himself in the
furniture business at the corner of
Third and Minnesota streets. In 1854
the firm of Stees Bros. was established,
and continued for thirty years. He had
often been urged to run for Office by his
many friends, but, having no liking for
political life, he declined to do so.
He was, however, first chief of the fire
department of st. Paul in 1854 and also
county commissioner of Ramsey county
in 1859. Throughout his life he has
been devoted TO his family and his bus
mess, passing his last days in the enjoy
ment of the competency which he had
earned. For many years he lived on
his farm at Lake Phalen, but latterly
he purchased an elegant residence on
Grand avenue commanding a magnifi-
cent view up and down the river. He
has been for years prominent member
of the Central Presbyterian church and
lived to lay the corner stone of the new
ediflce now being erected.

A Heavy Taxpayer Kicks Against
an Unsightly Pile of Rubbish.
To the Editor of the Globe
''Live and let live'' is a charitable
phrase, but when one comes TO look
back at it IN its proper light, it is apt to
do somebody great injustice. For in
stance, after an absence from the city,
was more than surprised to find
change for the worse. rather than for
the better, in remodeling mostly
all the Summit avenue boulevard,
where only short time ago en-
tailed q heavy expense to the
city and property owners. ALI of its
first improvements were changed, and
an artificial mound. or, rather, an un-
slightly barricade, made in the center of
that grand drive, intercepting a fine
vista or panorama view of the river and
grounds. AS the drive was more in
tended for carriage and equestrian ex-
ercse than for pedestrian travel, it is
folly to imagine that any one driving
spirited animal would alight and go up
to this wOuld-be lookout. and | should
not be at all surprised after the lapse of
another year hence, that that un-
slightly pile of rubbish will
be removed and other changes
made to suit the taste of some Dotian
landscape gardner.
