 This much may be said for the cor poration in general; that it is means brough which we may enforce local md special regulations. A few already rforced, which may be listed under his head, are, ordinances for the cor ection of petty offensos against morals yhich the statutes of the territory arr powerlcss to reach; ordinances requir. ng property holders to build sidewalks, D erect hues, to keep premises free from filth and garbage; providing for npounding strayed animals, and i'm rowing streets.

 It is needless to enter further into a discussion of the question, for every ,itizen who believes in progress must avor municipal control in local affairs, md it is significant fact that the only Iecided oljectoro thus far have been g lass of citizens who are expected to oppose everything that is moral and .ood especially if it reaches them and affects their ish aims.

rHn STORM rHAr NEVER GAME.


The storm which the weather bureau
predicted, and against which the ship
masters took such extensive precautions
last week. never came after all, and
though atmospheric disturbances still
continue, apprehensions Of destructive
gale have subsidized Persons who escaped
thesfoolkiller on his last visit are going
around gabbling that "oid PagueP was
wrong. as usual
They should read The paper on Meteor
clogy which was read before the Ameri-
can Association for the advancement Of
science at IT'S last meeting by willis L.
Moore. the new chief OF the United States
weather bureau. No man in the country
knows as much about meteorology as he;
yet he says: 1T is painfully patent that
we are extremely Ignorant of the mech
anism of storms, and of the operations of
those vast and subtle forces in free air
which give inception to storm and
which supply the energy necessary to
accelerate cyclonic action when formed.
or to dsperse the same when fully in
operation"
What we do know may be summed up
in few words. In storms immense
masses of air gyrate about vertical or
nearly vertical axis, drifting eastward,
and at the same time drawing in warm
easterly currents at the front and cold
westerly currents at the rear. As these
currents meet in the upper regions Of the
atmosphere they generally, but not al
ways, cause precipitation OF rain or
snow. But, on the other hand heavy
downpours of rain often occur without
any cyclonc circulation, and in the
Rocky mountain region condensation
more frequently occurs in the westerly
portion Of the storm area, where the cold
north and west winds are flowing IN,
than IN the warmer easterly currents
flowing toward the storm center. Thus
a comprehensive survey of the current
theories of meteorology leads to the con-
clusion that we have thus far only
scratched the surface OF the science, and
that our forecasts OF the weather. how
ever sklllfully made, are nothing but
guesses, which are almost as likely to be
erroneous as to be correct.
Still II is something to know that the
drift OF the air on this continent is gen.
orally from west to east That is prob
ably the case all over the world, but the
statistics Of storms are too imperfect to
decide positively that 1t is, On the other
hand, though our continental storms east
OF the Rockies almost Invariably travel
from west TO east, like our storms on this
coast, the prevailing wind during a storm
is not always or even oftenest In the
same direction as the storm. The few
destructive storms which occur on this
part OF the coast come from the ocean,
but they are quite frequently heralded
by a southerly or southeasterly wind. So
the storms which occur in New York
have travelled from Dakota and reach
the Atlanlc coast by way OF the lakes
and the Middle states; but the gales
which blow simultaneously and are so
destructive to shipping quite as often
blow from the east as from the west
