FORECASTS BY FOSTER.

Island, moro specifically described as on
the northwestern coast OF Washington, and
OF the British Columbia coast. This area
OF low pressure. or permanent low, Is
present from the time we are pleased TO
call the winter storm conditions until their
disappearance the following spring,
Possibly we shall determine the origin
and entire movement OF these lows when
we have a system OF telegraphic reports
stretching from the Philippines 10 Japan
and thence to China the Russian coast,
along the Aleutian islands to Alaska and
finally down TO the Pacific northwest.
''Our storms In winter. from the obser-
yations at hand. are first shown of the
British Columbia coast | presume that
these areas Of low pressure como from
the China sea, move along the Aleutian
archipelago, thence along the western
coast OF North American TO about latitude
50 degrees north whore they have per-
manent home and a pathway for passage
eastward.
"a few Of them are detected south
ward along the coast. in the last Ave or six
years several OF these areas OF low pres
sure moved southwark past Cape Mendo-
elmo over California TO Arizona and thence
I northeasuward, giving to she eastern por-
4 tion Of the country the most severe storms
OF that period. These we are pleased TO
term erratic lows.
The low In its regular course moves
to about ahe latitude OF Puget Sound
passes eastward about Spokane north y
| Alberta and thence toward the great lakes
While the area OF low pressure is doing
I this. the high pressure comes In from
the southwest evidently from tho inn
mense area OF high pressure already re-
ferred to, moves from Cape MendocinC
to Salt Lake City, giving TO that region
an area of high pressure. These are twC

In summer we have areas OF high pres
sure which, instead Of moving eastward t
salt Lake City, or Southern Idaho, move
norabward to about 80 degrees north lati

western shores of our continent, cross thu

only confirms the report that he intends to
resign from the ways and means commit
tee OF the democratic National committee,

thought he saw a chance of being relieved

any desire to throw down the work OF The
National committee. We feel, however
