New Brunswick people receiving let
ters Tuesday afternoon noticed a new
stamp upon the backs of the envelopes.
This stamp, besides giving the hour at
which letter is received in the post
Office, gives the weather forecast for the
following day. The idea was proposed
by E. P. Chaffe. Superintendent of the
weather service of Alabama at the con-
vention of weather prophets in Indina-
napolis last month. Postmaster
General Wilson approved, and authoriz-
ed all postmasters to adopt it if they
thought it advisable.
The stamps were furnished by Prof.
McGann. Now every letter received at
the post office between noon and 6
o'clock is stamped with the weather
forecast. Milwaukee is the only city in
the country besides New Brunswick
which has 80 far adopted the idea.

this will teach some of our young men a
