other people expect one to, comes easier
to some natures than To others. To
some the best road viii always mean

Weather bureau.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Willis l..
Moore, a local forecaster OF the wealth
er bureau, was appointed Wednesday
to succeed Prof. Mark w. Harrington
as chief of the weather bureau.
He is regarded as one of the best
forecasters in the service and has
reputation for accuracy second to none
in the department. After writing one
of the best essays on practic-
al forecasting a year ago, he
was ordered to Washington, to make
reports for month, and received the
highest percentage among ten who
were selected, his average be-
ing almost 100. He was given the
position of professor of mcteorology at
salary of $500. He was, prior to
this, local forecaster at Milwaukee
but after his promotion was trans
ferred to Chicago. During last win
ter he made wonderful record, con-
sidering the character of the weather.
In politics Mr.. Moore is said to be a re-
publican. He is a man of about 40
years of age and has grown up in the
service.
