How Observer Wilison rigures Out His

The Seattle Office Of The United States
weather bureau, which las been such q
long time in a state Il preparation. has
been at last made rcads for business, and
Observer s. II. Wilson ;;egan the regular
work Tuesday morning at 5 o'clock by
taking his first observation.
The long delay N getting the Office
equipped has been caused partly by the
elaborate red tape necessary in . govern.
ment office, partly BIZ tks distance to head
quarters, and possibly partly by the shak-
ing up which is being gwen the weather
bureau by the present administration.
But the Office, such as 1t is, is now In
operation, and Seattle people who have
interested themselves IN having the Office
established will IN al probability not be
satisfied. There ars several grades of sta
tons in the weat:,er bureau and tho
Seattle bureau belongs 10 the second class.
Olympia and Spoa an. have first class
offices. as do Por, an,s snd Roseburg in
Oregon. Some OF the first class stations
are in charge Of what are termed '.ore-
cast" officials. of whom there are only two
on the Pacific coat, these being at San
Francisco and Portland. The first class
offices have many instruments which are
not included in second class station out
fit, but the instruments now in position
on the top OF the New York building are
the very best manufactured. The govern.
ment purchases the lest instruments
made, and, as rule, keeos pace with I'M
provements.
On the root Of thc Nsw York building a
platform about ii!geec feet square has
been erected, and On tfis platform. sup

eight feet high. is the "instrument shell

Dangers of tho Season,

The sudden changes IN weather III the
latter part Of the winter and early spring
are A source of colds and coughs. This
season is a particularly dangerous n
for persons with weak lungs or delicate
constitution. A slight cold is likely to
become II serious one and the cough that
follows is the one great cause OF the
many deaths from consumption In the
early spring. Never neglect a cold or
cough. Keep a reliable remedy ON hand
and check the first cough, that may lead
to consumption. As such a remsdy the
medicine called kemp's Balsam h
