The record-union., 1896-10-30

Mr.. Vail, whose observations are so
familiar to all Barbarenos, is not reg
ular official Of the Weather Bureau, for
the reason that he declines the position
thinking that he may wish at times to
be absent. His observations are, how
ever, of the regular and approved style
and he is to all intents and purposes a
lart of the United States service.
Mr.. Barwick also talked of the pres
ent year and it's indications. The un-
usually heavy dews of July and August
mean, according to Old-time residents
early and heavy rains" said he, land
these dews have been in places sc
| marked as to interfere with the perfec-
ton of the fruit crop"
In the San Joaquin Valley threshine
could not be begun at times until 10 Oh
| IL O'clock II am not forecaster," he
continued. '.Our fOrecaster is stationed
| at San Francisco, and l might add, ir
! this connection. that forecasting on the
Pacific Coast is not an easy task. Oul
storms come from the sea, and as yet
we have no official stations in the ocean
When we have an Alaskan cable and a
| station on some island in Behring Sea
| the work will be much more accurate
and satisfactory, as our worst storms
begin in that region and follow the
| warm current"
Mr.. Barwick also receives reports
| from San Miguel Island, where a com
plete set Of instruments is maintained
by Captain Waters and observations re-
corded. 1t is a most useful station to
| the bureau.

IN SANTA BARBARA.
Director Barwick of the Weather
Bureau interviewed There.

The Santa Barbara Press" of the
23d contained the following:
James a. Barwick, Observer and Sec
ton Director, to give him his official
title of the California Weather Section
of the United States Weather Bureau, is
spending a short vacation in Santa Bar
bara. and yesterday talked at length to
q representative of the Press" and ex-
planned his organization and its work.
The State of California does not con-
tribute to the service save that its
printing bureau prints the weekly bull
letins which contain the general condi-
tions of crops and weather in the sew
eral districts.
The monthly bulletin covers the ac-
curate statistics of the regular Weather
Observers and an epitome of the points
where regular but unofficial observa-
tions are taken Mr.. Barwick has now
arranged to print in full the daily rec
ord of Santa Barbara exactly as it ap-
pears in the Press in place of the
short note which hitherto has alone ap-
peared with reference to our far famed
climate. The coast stations in future
viii be Eureka, San Francisco, San
Luis Obispo Santa Barbara, Los An
ge!es and San Diego.
These bulletins are printed by the
State Agricultural Society, which sends
fifteen hundred of each issue 10 Mr..
Barwick for distribution. Six hundred
of the pamphlets go TO the Southern Pa
cifc for distribution to their various
agents in the East, and are used in an
swering inquiries as to California ell
mate. The balance are distributed di-
rect to various bureaus, societies and
individuals throughout the country, sc
that it Will readily be appreciated how
important this Insertion OF report really
Is, $4,000 reports of "the finest climate
in the world each year going to peo-
rlc interested in weather and weather
statistics.
