Real Estate the Basis Of wealth.

Nothing makes wealth faster than rapid ad-
yancement in real estate values. There are
messed every day OF the year. Probably more
men have been made wealthy in Seattle from
this one source than from any other, il not ali
others. Take majority of Seattles wealthiest
men and you will ind that although they may
have accumulated wealth in banking, mercan-
tile and other pursuits, still they have increased
their other gains by iudicious real estate invest
ments many fold. Real estate is the basis of all
wealth. The planking of the streets to the
beautiful addition OF River Park the early
the n. P. car and machine shops at the south
end, the excellent SOIL the level lots and the low
prices of the same, combine to make il the one
place for investments. Gould & Whitworth

Gossiping Men.

Twelve gossiping men will sit down to-
gether about a store stove and like lot of
dissecting physicians lay out and literally
pick some absent one to pieces One of
them will go out, when, just as he closes
the store door, the eleven will proceed to
disseet his private character. After awhile
another will step out, when the ten left will
walk through their former eOmpatriot in
slander, leaving his character in about the
same condition as the chap who was shot
through brush fence. Another one, per-
haps, thinks it time to go home, when he,
too, will soon be perforated and traduced
by the remaining nine Number eight
soon drops off, when, alas for the rarity of
human charity, if stranger should drop
in as he left, and take the vacated chair,
he would soon get up and leave it, feeling
that he was polluting his form by occupy-.

Number seven and six possibly may go
out together. II, perchance, they should
steal around 10 a back window and listen,
they would both get off a respectable dis
tance from each other, and hang closely to
their respective watches and pocketbooks.
Numbers five, four and three get tired out
and start for their homes, when numbers
two and one have the whole field to them
selves. They are in no manner behind
their former companions in slandering their
friends, Finally, as the two remaining
ones bid each other good night, they each
remark to themselves something like this

And "well-a-day," sighed the elm tree old.

And "oh!" cried the maple overhead,
"On the dark ground rustles my robe of red"
The birch tree shook in yellow shower,
And glimmered more ghostly every hour.
While the silver poplar whispered loud
As its shimmering leaves Joined the flying crowd
sound of mourning filled all the land,
For the trees grew barer on either hand
But the little buds laughed on the twgs so brown
That sprang from the branches up and down.
As tucked in safe, and glad, and warm.
Ready 10 weather the winter storm.
They waited so patiently and still
Till the wild, cold wind should have worked its will
And blown the sad skies once more clear,
And wakened from slumber the sweet New Year.
IfyOu look, my child, at the tree top high,
You'll see them clustered against the sky.
The little brown buds that rock and swing.
Dreaming all winter of coming spring.
And it. when April comes again,
You watch through the veil of her balmy rain,
You'll see them pushing out leaves like wings,
All crowned with the beauty that patience brings.

glance which way all the winds are blow
ing, where it is raining or showing, where
the air is cold and where it is warm, and
where there is one of those storm centres
toward which all the surrounding winds
are tending, and which is bound to move
In an easterly course, carrying storms with
it to sections where all local betokenings
may be perfectly fair.
The old fashioned weather prophet
always looked at the face of the sky before
he prognosticated The modern weather
forecasting official never does that. His
predictions could be made as well as if he
never saw the sky at ALL He is governed
completely by the record of the weather
instruments.
The forecasts of the weather which are
daily published throughout the United
States are made at the present time by the
Signal Corps of the United States Army.
NOminally, the duties of this corps are.
first of all, to transmit messages by means
Of signals for the ordinary service of the
army. Although this corps, acting under
orders of the Secretary of War, began
making weather forecasts in the year 1870,
and has continued to make them ever
since, these forecasts had pever been regu-
larly provided for by law until the passage
of an act Of Congress last year
Congress has now passed an act to
transfer the weather service from the War
Department to the Department of Agri-
culture, and to organize it on definite
basis. The formal transfer of the service
will not, however, take place until June,
1891, and for the present the local observ-
ers of the weather service, though they
have no military duties or surroundings,
remain Sergeants of the United States
Army
The signal service predictions of the
weather which are seen daily in the news
papers, or printed upon the daily official
maps or charts, of which more than a
million were published and circulated dur
ing the last fiscal year, are made by differ
ent officers Of the corps working at Wash
ingtop, who are assigned to the duty of
foreeasting, each one for a period of two,
or at most, three months.
The predictions of these officers are for
mally verified-that is, a record is kept of
the proportion of their predictions which
are successful One officer, during the
last year, was able to predict the weather
correctly eighty-six times out of hundred;
while the least successful forecast official
predicted accurately eighty times out of a
hundred.
The general average of successful fore
casts was 81 for weather and 20 for tenn
perature. The signals which are displayed
to give warning of storms have been found
to be justified in 81 eases out of 100.
The forecasts of the weather sent from
Washington are for whole State or a
large section, and often do not accurately
cover the weather in special localities.
But some 80 of the local observers are
permitted to make and publish local fore
casts.

FoREcAsTINe THE WEATHER.
How the American signal Service Is
Managed.
From the Youths Companion.

FROM the loulhs companion.
The growth of the study of the phenom-
ena of the air, Joined with the wide exten-
sion of telegraphic communication, has led
to the development of new and very
useful and interesting branch of science,
namely, the daily forecasting of the weather
at hand, including storms, ordinary winds,
changes Of temperature and condition of
the atmosphere as to clearness or cloud
mess.
The United States has led other nations
in this work, partly because its people are
very practical and progressive, and partly
because the union of a vast extent OF
country over which the telegraph extends,
under one central government, has given
here chance for simultaneous weather
reports from a great region.
We say simultaneous reports, because
the secret Of success in weather forecasting
lies in the chance to obtain simultaneous
observations from many points, scattered
throughout great extent of country.

Milk as a Fire Extlnguisher.

A servant girl upset burning kerosene
lamp, and all attempts to quench the flames
were useless. She finally seized pot with
milk and emptied it over them, whereby
the fire was at once stiaed. Another lady,
whose house stood in great danger of being
burned to the ground by the bursting of
a kerosene lamp, and who had heard of
the remedy, tried it, and in letter to a
friend said that all attempts made 70 stife
the fire were futile until she tried the milk,
which did 1t at once.
