NOTICE TO MARINERS.

FORECAST OF WIND AND WEATHER IN
THE NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN FOR JAM
UARY.
United States Branch photographic Office,
San Francisco. Dec. 81, 1897.
The following forecast has just been re-
ceived from the photographic Office, Wash
ington, d. c.:
The trade wind limits will probably be found
a little farther south, not clearly marked,
and the winds not constant in direction as
those last month
In the middle North Pacific Ocean the aver
age storm track for January is considerably
south of that for December, and the of
frequent gales may be expected to extend as
low as the 30th parallel and reach across the
entire ocean. North of the 10th parallel, across
the entire ocean, and north of the 18th parallel
in the western part of the ocean, these gales
may frequently be accompanied by hail or
snow During this month dangerous gales fire.
quently visit that part OF the ocean imme-
diately to the westward of Vancouver Island
and the coast OF Washington and northern
part of Oregon this locality being the region
Pacific Ocean most frequently pass upon en-
tering the American Coast. In the small
area included between latitude 10 degrees north
and 80 degrees north and longitude 125 degrees
west and $50 degrees west. for the month OF
January, covering a period of ten years, one
fourth of the observations gave force of wind
and above Beaufort scale). Frequent squalls
in the vicinity Of the Philippine Islands and
waiian Islands MAJ be expected
Typhoons are usually infrequent this month.
After crossing the line coming north, vessels
bound for the west coast of America may
pect frequent squalls. with occasional thunder
storms, IN passing through the doidrums.
Occasional fog and heavy mist will probably
occur along the coast Of the United States.
The coast OF China and Japan may be expected
to be comparatively free from fog during this
month. W. S. HUGHES

MEN AND HORSES KILLED IN
BATTLE.

In regular battles the proportion of loss
among men and horses is quite close, and
in hand-to-hand combats of cavalry, as
well as in sharp artillery engagements,
for every man killed or wounded there
is also a dumb warrior entitled to
place beside him on the roll of honor
The Light Brigade at Balaklava rode III
$50 mot 500 strong and lost 2SS men, but
of the $50 horses, $50 were shot down by
the Russian guns.
In the fierce charges of the German
Uhlans and Cuirassiers at Vionville,
Mars-la-Tour, in 1870, 400 men and 1900
horses were killed and wounded. In the
fierce artillery contest on the same field
100 men and over 1000 horses fell around
the guns. At Gravelotte, soon after

THE MEANEsT OF COMBINES.

A sit-down club has been organized In
Cleveland, o. 1t is composed of men
pledged not to give up their seats in
street cars to any woman under any cir
cumstances. Those men are not so IN
gallant or impolite as they may seem,
their purpose being to secure the final
benefit of women as well as men by com
pelling the street car companies to pro-
vide enough cars to accommodate all
passengers with seats. 1t is not prob
able, however, that the organization will
flourish, American men being too inner
emily courteous to be able to carry on
such an undertaking for any length of
time. The desired reform will have to
be accomplished in some other way
