Then there was silence, broken

This we did, but without effect, for the

For 1891, twenty four hour forecast,
7S.6; forty eight hour, S1.6; seventy-two
hour, sos: cold wave, 56.S. For 1895,
Alabama, 72.6."
Mr.. Dunno claims for his own forecasts
the following: For Montgomery, Aiabama,
81 8; for fourteen separate States, average,
sos; for twelve cold waves, Bismarck,
n. D., 70; Montgomery, S3.3.
The average rainfall yearly is 53.5.
During the past two years Mr.. Dunne had
predicted total of 94.3; the actual was
S4.S. The forecasts, he claims, were
thus only 9.6 inches out OF the way, while
the expectation from the average was %. 2
inches out of the way. The number OF Gays
for which he predicted rain netted verifi-
cations on 7S.6. He adds:
The officials of the Weather Bureau ac-
knowledge that no progress has been made,
in practical forecasting, in the PAST twenty
years This Acknowledgements is con-
firmed by the Bureaus own records. In
1872, when the Bureau was only two years
old, according to the chief signal officer,
there were but seventy-two stations of ob-
servations in operation, and the percentage
of Notifications of forecasts was SO. Ac-
corling tc the report OF the Secretary of
Agriculture for 1893, when the service was
twenty-three years old, there were $50
stations of observation in operation, and
the percentage of verification of fore
casts was 3d.

UNCLE SAM HAS A RIVAL
Lawrence Dunno Goes Into the Fore
casting Business.
Says He Can Predict Weather for n
Longer Period Than the Govern
ment Bureau.

Lawrence Dunno, formerly observer with
the Weather Bureau, stationed at Mont
'gomery, Ala, has gone into the weather
forecastiDg business on his own hook and
proposes TO do much more than the heads
Of the bureau here think they are able to
accomplish.
Majc Dunwoody, now at the head the
,forecasting department. said recently that
neither he nor any other man that he had
ever heard OF coulh 90 more than guess at
the weather beyond twenty-four TO forty
eight hours Their forecasts are based ON
kilograms received, from the West and
South, moving WIN twea ather existed there.
With these at handn and an acquaintance
with the laws Of the movement of air cur
rents and clouds $50 far as these are es-
tablished, and a knowledge of the varia-
tions of heat and cold with the seasons and
with the sunshinefhrough te day, 1t is POS
sible to determine what weather will be
foand through a large part of the United
states during theisucceeding twenty four
hours. This is largely due to the fact that
the movementof storm centers and meteor
ologic disturbances generally are from
West tc East. But outside OF this there are
no scientific facts upon which to base pre-
dictiuns of weather with any confidence.
Mr. Dunno says this is mistake. He
not only can forecast the weather upon
scientific principles for a longer period
than admitted by Major Dunwoody, but
he. can do SO with a higher percentage
of accuracy than has been attained by
the Weather Bureau forecasters.
He says: There is only one standard
by which fair and truthful comparison
can te made. and that is by the records
of the Weather Bureau forecasts, which
are supposed to be made on scientific pfin-
ciples. - The following. comparisons will
show that MY forecasts are by no means
failure, but compare favorabiy with the
Weather Bureaus twenty-fnur, forty-eight,
and seventy-two hour forecasts.
l. rThese' are no iictitious facts 4 have
the record to prove their truthfulness.
