When Ave expert weather forscssters
begin to scrap for title with fa'
salary attached the country can look
for pretty much anything from fos

AS soon as Mr. Dunn returns from
Washington he will establish, a new
sub-station at Manhattan Beach, which
will report daily to the main odice the
temperature and weather conditions al
that point. 1t will be the same Kind OF
a station as those now at Sandy Hook
city Island and Long Branch. Weather

station.
There Is a great difference in the tenn
perature between Manhattan Beach ant
Invaluable for forecasting fogs. which
often are impossible to discern from
the main station.
