TIE CLIMATE OF ALASKA.
Statement as to It's Nature by weather
Chief Moore.

Statement as to It's Nature by Weather
Chief Moore.
Washington, July 31.-Chief Moore,
of the weather bureau has made a
statement in regard to the climate of
Alaska. Mr. Moore says:
The climates of the coast and the
interior Of Alaska are unlike in many
respects, and the differences are inten-
stfied in this as perhaps in few other
countries by exceptional physical con-
ditions. The fringe of islands that
separates the mainland from the Pa
ciflc ocean from Dixon sound, and also
strip of the mainland for possibly 20
miles back from the sea, following the
sweep Of the coast as it curves to the
northwestward to the western extrem-
ity of Alaska form distinct climatic
division. which may be termed tenn
perate Alaska. The temperature rare
ly falls to zero. Winter does not set In
until Dec. /, and by the last Of May the
snow has disappeared, except on the
mountains. The mean winter tempera-
ture of Sitlia is @2,5, but little less than
that of Washington, y. c.
The rainfall of temperate Alaska Is
notorious the world over, not only as
regards the quantity that falls, but
also as to the matter of its falling, viz,
in long an0 incessant rains and driz-
zles. Cloud and fog naturally abound,
there being on an average but sixty
clear days in the year. North of the
Aleutlan islands the coast climate be-
comes more rigorous in winter, but in
marked.
The climate of the interior, including
in that designation practically all of
the country except a narrow fringe of
coastal margin. and the territory be-
fore referred 10 as temperate Alaska,

The High School Safe

Building Inspector Grubb, at tho solicit
bation OF the committee of the High School
located at the corner of Eighth and Adams
streets, made thorough examination of
the school building yesterday and reported
that it was perfectly safe and in good
condition. Tho REPUBLICAN stated that
It needed repairs upon it; that If put in
proper condition it would take some ten
thousand dollars. We never said that it
was not safe or in danger of falling down,
rs any one could easily see by making a
personal inspection Of tho same. Mr.
Samuel It. Belts is not chairman Of the
committee on repairs, being member
only, and the building was erected twelve
years ago, and painted some five years ago.
The building is likely to stand for years
TO come barring accidents from ligA ming
md fire. We hope that Us far as the sta
bility of the building is concerned when
the opinion Of the present efficient build.
Ing inspector is remembered, it will allay
all fears on that score and set the minds
of all parents of children who attend that
school at rest. A mountain has been made
out Of mole hill, nothing more nor less.
Mr.. Belts. of tho committee on repairs, says
that $1,000 will put the building in good
shape and we have enough cUuhl1At3 IN
him to believe that hp. knows what no Is
