The a. m. weather signals given at w,
/ Randolph, can usually be heard on the
| Chelsea highlands by those who are on the
/ lookout for them and are very reliable as
reviews for the past thirteen hours, but
sometimes fail as predictions for he rest
OF the day. Why not wait till II a. m,

twelve hours, in the conditions on which
the forecasts are founded, and we ought
to take full advantage OF it,
