S.. Louis District, MAJ 2, 1892.

II was in 1869 that many prominent
men solcitous of advancing the agri-
cultural and commercial interests of
the country prevailed upon Congress
to establish a Weather Service. That
body, on February 8, 1870, passed a
"jelnt resolution authorizing the Sec
rotary of War to provide Tor taking
meteorological observations at the
military stations and at other points in
the interior of the continent, and fer
giving notice on the northern lakes
and seaboard of the approach and
force of storms" The measure passed
both Houses Of Congress without a
dissenting vote. As soon as a system
of observations was decided upon
stations were opened in the larger
cities throughout the country along
the borders Of the great lakes and At
lantic coast. The system of weater
reports began on November /, 1870,
and they were issued thrice daily until
within the past three years; now but
two daily issues are made Demo
