RAIN INDICATIONS.
Why Cirrus Clouds Tell with Almost Alb
solute Certainty Of Coming Storms.

Why Cirrus Clouds Tell with Almost Abb
solute Certainty Of Coming Storms.
In order to better understand the role
placed by cirrus clouds as rain indica-
tors, we must first discuss the causes of
these occurrences A study Of the wealth
or Indications and barometrical road
ings, as they appear in our daily papers
from tho report Of our weather Bu-
reau, shows that areas Of high or low
air pressure are constantly passing over
the earth's s surface in irregular success
sion. The areas of high atmospheric
pressure-or barometric maxima. me-
teorolsgically expressed-stay longer in
one locality than the areas OF low pres
sure the depression or barometrical
minima. These last are more or less de-
fined currents of air, which circle In
the form Of wind around the region OF
the lowest atmospheric pressure, NOV
ing always from north to west or from
south to east-the reverse OF the hands
of clock. 1t must not be imagined,
however, that the air simply moves
around this area Of depression, but rather
that it is constantly being drawn into
its center and is carried upward In great
whirls or spirals. As the air rises, It cx-
pands and becomes colder. Tho vapors it
contains condenso into clouds and final
ly are transformed into rain. The CEN
ter of the barometrical depression is
therefore marked by cloudy. rainy
weather. The wind which encircles the
depression becomes more active as the
difference of tho atmospheric pressure
becomes more marked, or, in other
words. rs tho barometer falls.
In brief, therefore, barometrical de-
pressions ere caused by huge ascending
spirals, or whirls of air, which are car
ried upward to extreme heights. and
from there arc waited in any direction.
In these heights tho humidity Of the at
mospheyc is frozen and is waited away
in closed forms which are composed Of
leo crystals These arc none other than
cirrus clouds. and they may float sew
eral hundred miles from tho seat of the
depression. 1t will now be seen why
cirrus clouds may be justly regarded rs
forerunners of rain, even when they
make their appearance in clear weather.
They tell with absolute certainty of an
approaching atmospheric depression,
and this is substantiatod by q gradual
falling Of tho barometer soon after they
make their appearance. Home and

was that of John Glace, who wander

Tor the WhereWithal 10 keep soul and
body acquainted with each other.
That was early in 1866 Things did not
go so well there but that they promised
to go better elsew here, and so, in 1S61 an
other move was made, this time to what
was then the metropolis OF the NeOsho
valley, Humboldt. From hat timo-Hith
the exception of year spent at Chcilis,
Il ong-forgotten has been in Woodson
county-his legal residence has been in
Allen county.
In the beginning he was a grocer's
clerk or something of that kind, we be-
lieve. But he made friends fast 50 that
ii was comparatively easy matter in 1873
for him to secure the republican nomina-
ton for county clerk, and in those
halcyon days to be nominated by the
republican party was to be elected.
While performing the duties of county
clerk be studied law, and was admitted to
the bar in 1850. And the practice of this
pro fession, together with carrying on the
business of abstracting titles, has engaged
his attention since 1884, with the excep-
ton of four years when he was employed
in the Indian service.
Aside from the office of county clerk,
he has held hat of mayor of the city of
lola, and that of city attorney. He was
captain of Company B., End regiment, X.
the Indian service. He was charter
member of McCook post, q. A. X, has
been twice elected post commander, ana
has been its adjutant for nine years.
He has been a member of the depart
ment council of administration for three
terms, and is now senior vlce-commander
of the department.. He is member OF
Pacific lodge, A. +. and A. NJ, and of
Valley chapter of X. A. NJ, at Humboldt.
Without any solicitation on the part OF
himself or of his friends he received the
appointment of assistant secretary OF
state, and he will enter upon the i'm
portant office next Monday at noon.
Capt. Slower Is happily married, ana mas
a family OF four fine boys.
In every personal way T. S. Slower is
"all kinds of good fellow As we
remember him first, some twenty years
ago, he was a slim slip of a boy, weighing
possibly one hundred and thirty pounds.
He has filled out since then in most
comfortable way, until his weight Is
somew here around 10.
One would travel long way to lind
more companionable man than Capt.
Slower. He is crowned and anolnted
story teller, and close observation, vide
travel and varied experience have given
him fund of incident ana anecdote that
seems ineXhaustible.
When to these attractive personal
qualities are added felicity to friends, the
strictest probity in all private and public
affairs, and The faculty of doing well ana
promptly every duty to which he Is
assigned, it is easily understood why
it is that every body who knows him well
is his friend, and it will go without
saying that no man will contribute more
to the popularity of the incoming admin.
istration than the assistant secretary OF
state.

PRIZE EXHIBITION.

Friday afternoon, Jan. ., at Bluehili
academy, the secondyear class gave
prize exhibition in speaking. The object
Of this exhibition WAS to obtain little
practice, so that the class will be better
prepared for the regular junior prize ex-
hibition next fall.
The class, as whole, showed consider
able ability, and demonstrated to the
school and the many friends present that
each pupil is capable OF speaking in public,
and doing we'll, too. The members of
this class are young, but in ability they
are considerably above the average OF
boys and girls of their age in his vicinity.
The value received from prize exhibit
ton Is by no means stored IN the little
articles given for the prizes; and often
those who have made the greatest adj
yaneement, not being possessed OF 80
much native ability as others, do not re-
eeve the prizes. They have gained VIC
tory, however, over themselves, and III
stead of feeling discouraged they should
set their faces with firm determination
to do better next time.
The heights by great men reached, and kept,
We're not attained by sudden flight;
But they, while their companions -iept,
Were toiliug upward in the night
The judges, after due deliberatlon,
awarded the prizes as follows Young
ladies First. Flora 4. Osgood; second,
Emma Hincklcy. Young gentlemen:
