Explanation.

The arrow flies with the wind. Inc top nguioS
III station indicate maximum temperature for tns
days: those underneath 1t, II any. the amount OF
rainfall of melted snow in inches and hundredtnss
during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or soLiu
lines, connect poin OF equal air pressure; 1so
word "highn means high barometric pressure ana
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 Wasnlngton
coast. When the pressure is high in the interior
and low along the coast, and the isobars extend
north and south along the coast. rain Is prooaole
but when the 'low'- Is inclosed with lsobars oI
marked curvature, rain south OF oregon is improp-
able With "high" in the vicinity of Idaho, ana
the pressure falling to the California coast warmer
weather may be expected in summer ana coioer
weather In winter. The reverse of these conditions
will produce an opposite result.

can be admitted or denied. according as
one is disposed or not to credit the autnen-
ticity of memories like his. Most people.
probably, will be disposed TO suspect that
his earliest recollections are not OF things
he saw but of things about which be was
told. This skeptical attitude OF mind is
the more excusable in the case OF Hayes
because he is still able to walk out in the
coldest weather without an Overcoat and
has hardly gray hair on his thickly COW
cred head.-New York Times.
