EXPLANATION.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top fig- ures at station indicate minimum temperature for the days; those underneath 1t, if any, the amount of rainfall of melted snow in inches and hundredths during the past twelve hours. Isobars. or solid lines connect points of equal air pressure; isotherms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word high means high barometric pressure and is usually accompanied by fair weather; low refers to low pres sure and is usually preceded and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains. 'Lows'' usually first appear on the Washington 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 probable; but when the low Is inclosed with sobars of marked curvature rain south of Oregon Is i'm probable. With a high in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure falling to the Call fornia coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result
