see an imme nse area of cold air rushing
es stward from the Rocky mountain
slope, threatening destruction to millions
of property, and causing much discom-
fort and suffering to the nation. AT the
same time there may be evidences of a
storm formation in the gulf or south At
lantic, the development of which would
endanger if not destroy, the carriers of

pick conditions before him, and with
each state, cold wave signals must be
ordered for one section: frost warnings
for another, while the storms fury
must not be ignored, This duty is
performed each day, sometimes twice
and thrice, during the year. There
are legal holidays and Sundays, they

wave and frost warnings for Flor

warnings of those great meteors that,
originating several degrees north Of the
equator, sometimes sweep our coast

cotton exchanges, the maxlma and

these elements given each day, those in
terested are enabled to make proper de-
auctions as to crop conditions. Similar
services will soon be inaugurated for the
great corn and wheat districts Of the
west. On assuming charge Of this sta

service of this character with special

While other states have received at

and it is Prof. Moore's earnest desire to

Of the service in this state, as evidenced
