But science, with its characteristic
progressiveness, has stepped in, and
is to-day attempting to usurp the au-
thority inss Il matters pertaining to the
lsweather. But up to this time thena-
ltional weather bureau, while being
thor roughly worthJ and honest
itself, has experienced more or less
annoyance in securing just the style
of weather which 1t orders. For this
reason the weather bureau bulletins
have popularly come to be regarded
as almost as romantic in their dis
| position as our railroad time tables,
and to-day thousands of proud Ameri-
cans daily read and reread them be-
cause they can see in them the traces
Of literary merit just as plainly as they
can see the finger prints Of the hurried
and oyer-worked postal clerk who
/ prints them and who, scarcely given
time enough to read the postal cards
which pass through his hands, is COM

! on a door jamb or a yielding and un-
certain stove lid.z But science is not
Idiscouraged, and the time will come
when our gentlemanly and court eous
weather bureau will be able. to prog
nosticate with such accuracy that q
person who has borrowed an umbrella
/ can, by watching the bulletins. tell
just the week or month when he will
be through with and read for the
