FAIR WEATHER FOR
ST, PATRICKS DAY,
F%orecaster Hyatt Promises a P>-
riOd of Sunshine and Balmy
Atmosphere.

Doctor hyatt as an ardent admirer of st.
Patrick has contributed his full share
toward making the local celebration of st.
Patrick's Day a thing long to be remem-
bered.
He laid his plans early in the week. and
out Of chaos and disagreeable weather has
brought order and the best Of spring wea-
Their has been ordered for Sunday. The
day which all true disciples Of st. Patrick
love to celebrate will dawn bright and fair
and moreover the balmiest Of spring wea-
Their will prevail throughout the day. Sat
urday the first installment OF the bright,
sunny weather arrived.
The high which has been slowly ad-
vancing from the Northw est for the past
few days" said Doctor Hyatt, 'is RESPONSE
BILE for this touch of spring weather. The
low which passed over st. Louis three days
ago has now reached the Atlantic Coast
and by this time probably has passed on
altogether. Another low Is making Its ap-
pearance up In British Columbia. but it is
moving slowly and 1t will be some time be-
fore 1t reaches here.
81 may safely say that the Sunday
weather all over the Western States, and,
in fact, all over the country. Will be most
auspicious for followers Of st. Patrick. A
high extends from the Western Coast to
the Middle Atlantic States. The barometer
is highest over the Central Rocky Noun
tains and lowest over the Atlantic and
North Pacific States. Precipitation oc-
CURED Friday night over portions OF the
central valleys. the lake region and east
ward. but the rainy weather has now
passed of. For a few days. at least, there
will be no repetition Of the killing frosts
which prevailed in Arkansas and adjoining
States Friday night.
Until Monday night. at least. the wealth
er will remain clear and warm. The low
in the extreme Northwest Is producing
southerly winds. and as 1t advances will
bring a more moderate temperature and
perhaps rain.
FAN weather will prevail for a day or
two in Missouri. In Illinois 1t will be fair
for a day or two and slightly warmer. In
the Southern States and Western Territories
the temperature is gradually rising"
