The United States Weather Bu-
-reau at Roswell is now in full op-
Grafton. M. Wright is the observer
in charge, and the station is located
at 608 North Main, the Capt. Clark
two-story stone residence. which at
the same time serves as a comfor;.a-
Bile home for Obesrevr Wright and
family.
A Record representative visited the
station yesterday and was shown the
apparatus and the methods that are
employed by this important depart
ment of Uncle Sans service.
To one unacquainted with the pro
gress of the methods of weather OBJ
serYations as required by the Gov
ernment such a visit is revelation.

individual, who each morning as he
arose from bed threw open the bed

coming day to the present govern

has the idea that in order to get the
maximum and minimum temperature
each day the eagle-eyed and sleep

night and day on the thermometer
and note it's lowest and highest point
that the weather vane on the high
steel tower which is built high alb

neighborhood, must be looked at con

note the changes of the wind, ant
every few minutes the revolutions o

actness recording from minute to

task is only to read the records from

NAN PATTERSON CASE.

Jury Charged at 1915 and Retired
to Consider Verdict.
New York, Dec 22.-In the Nan
Patterson case Judstice Davis today
charged the jury, and at 1915 the
jury retired to consider its verdict.
Shortly before two O'Clock the jury
went ont to lunch. This will make
the verdict rather late this afternoon
if the jury is able to arrive at an
agreement. The gossip in the court
room was that a disagreement was
not unlikely. This report was based
on the fact that one of the jurors had
asked for information concerning
some of the exhibits in the case.

ST. Petersburg, Dec 22.-Emperor
Nicholas formally notified the coun-
try today that the agitation for a
constitution and a convOcatiOn of a
national assembly is useless. Such is
the construction placed upon the en-
dorsement written in his own hand
on the resolution telegraphed him
by the Chernigov Zemstvo December
goth, begging him TO convoke legally
elected members of the zemstvos to
present a program Of reforms for his
consideration The Emperor wrote
on the dispatch: 81 consider the ac-
ton of the president to be presump-
tuous and tactless. Questions of the
state administration are of no con-
cern to the Zemstvos whose functions
and rights are clearly defined by the
law" This endorsement printed in
the official Messenger this morning
dashed the hopes of the extremists.
But it does not come as great sur
prise. What the immediate effect of
the imperial rebulze administered 70
the president of the Zemsuvos will
be is problematical. 1t may serve
only to fan the flames and be used
by the revolutionary organizations
to increase the agitation and in turn
compel repression on the part OF the
government.
