The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1904-03-26
From the Baltimore American.

What the United States Weather Bureau is
soon to erect-a fine, new observatory at
Mount Weather. on the crest of the Blue
Ridge Mountains, near Bluemont, Va, and
Just across the line from Washington county.
| Md, is creating interest among scientists
throughout the country. Farmers, too, and
the public generally are equally as much con
cerned about the new building for il has been
given out that the Weather Bureau will event
ualy make predictions of the weather year
in advance. This will naturally give everyone
an opportunity to tortity themselves against
climatic conditions; the farmers will know Just
what and when to plant and reap, and the eff
feet upon commercial interests of all kinds
would be simply wonderful.
Then. too, balloon ascensions will be made
aud various kites used for the study Of the
several sciences of sleller mete0r0logy. as at
the great obServatoTies of Potsdam, Paris,
| Lick, Yerkes and Harvard. The new obser-
yatory will be the only one of its kind in the
world, aud that predictions can be made so
far in advance upon an entirely reliable basis
is assured by the United States Weather Blu
reau hv correlation OF all scientific data re-
gariing this object
The feat has never been accomplished, the
[ torecas, bureaus everywhere being obliged to
couteut themselves with predictions for few
DAYS or. AT most, weeks ahead.
