The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures
ct station indicate maximum temperature for the
days; those underneath it, If any, the amount Of
rainfall, Of melted snow in inches and hund redths
during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid
lines, connect points of equal air pressure: iso-
thermsA or dotted lines, equal temperature. The

Is usually ACCOMPANIED by fair weather: 'low"
refers to low pressure and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
Lows usually first appear on the Washington
coast. When the pressure is high in the interior
and low along the coast, and the sobars extend
north and south along the coast rain is probable;
out when the "lnw" is fnclosed with isobars of
marked curvature rain south of Oregon is improb-
able With "h1gh" in the vicinity OF Idaho, and
the pressure falling 10 the California coast warmer
weather may be expected Il summer and colder
weather in winter The reverse of these conditions
Will produce opposite result.

WINE AND BRANDY RECEIPTS.

Receipts of Wine at this port in april were
1918 500 gallons against 2.025,O00 gallons in
April 1895. The falling OFF in receipts is possibly
due to the holding back of wInemakers owing 10
the severe damage by the recent frosts. The re-
cepts for the first four months of the year were
5,7ll 500 gallons, against 5,9@S,6OO during the
same period last year.
The receipts of Brandy for the four months were
80, 500 gallons, against SS, 200 in 1895.
