(signed) CYCLONE.
1t is safe to say that the gentle and
trusting gentleman who dwells in the
loft of the Equitable Building and is
known over the world as the weather
forecaster par excellence was more
talked about at the breakfast tables Of
New York and vicinity this morning
than any. person or current event now

Pleasure and disappointment We're
equally mingled, and through them both
their ran a fine current of mild amuse-
ment. for Mr.. Dunn and his newspaper
friends were committed to an altogether
different state of affairs, and the de-
luded observers exclaimed, with one
where is that cyclone?'
Mr. Dunn's lofty nest was overcrowd-
ed with newspaper men at . o'clock

into the council chamber unabashed.
and waving aside the chorus of chal-
lenges said, haughtily:
I'VE shall see.''
After studying the various 'ometers
and Geographic reports and inspecting
the several maps his active aides, were
drawing, the sage returned, and SOL
EMMY announced:
1.-The cyclone has moved this morning
to the vicinity of Hatteras. II has
abated somewhat in violence, although
northeast gales are prevailing along the
coast, and especially over the ocean not
far out. While we may not get the cy-
clone in all its southern fury, we can
expect high winds in this vicinity, with
rain, tonight and tomorrow.
AT this minute the wind is blowing
over this roof at 26 miles an hour and
has kept up general average since
o'clock Of IS miles, broken by gusts
and flaws which makes 1t uneven. The
man at Sandy Hook reports that a
northeast wind is passing him at a We.
locity of 80 miles an hour, which, If not
gale, can be classed among high winds
This cyclone Is phenomenal, less from
than from its slow progress northward
While II has been rotating at speed
of from forty to seventy miles, and even
more, 1t does not seem to have been able
to move its territory faster than from
tn TO twenty miles an hour. 1t has now
euddeniy encountered the resistance OF
an area of high pressure-that is, OF
compact, pur atmosphere-that rests
over the northeast and is central In
Nova Scotia.
This acts as wall, as the storm seek
ing for an outlet, may be crowded off tC
the eastward and out to sea. To illus
trate to you, the barometer at Halift
this morning registered 1920 while dow
In the storm regions II scores about $50
the difference of one inch. which throw
an extraordinary balance against thu
power of the cyclone.
The wind is high at all points, an
the rain has already reached Philadel
phia. The heaviest downpour in the pas
twenty-four hours was at Norfolk, Va.
where la inches of rain fell.
''The centre of the cyclone this morn
Ing Is somewhere at sea off Hatteras
but the wind on shore within its area
from Virginia south is still blowing a
from 40 to 60 miles an hour
Now, while the storm may not reac
us in its greatest strength, we are goin
TO experience rising northeast winds 10
the next day or two, with probable rain
tomorrow.
