WEIGHING
THE MAIL
Increased Tonnage of Mail Matter
Coming to Lewiston to Ben.
eft Local Post Office

United States government employees
connected with the postoffice depart
ment are now engaged in weighing the
mail on the Spokan-Lewiston train.
They have been engaged in the work
for the past ten days and will prob
ably continue through this month In
order to strike yearly average of the
tonnage between Spokane and Lewis
ton.
This method is used every year in
order to determine the average yearly
tonnage which is the basis for letting
the contract for carrying the mail. AT
present the mail to Lewiston is very
heavy and the present service is made
quate. only one clerk running on the
train from Pullman to this point. When
the train leaves Spokane two clerks
are in charge of the mail, one of them
leaving on meeting the up going
train. Under the present conditions a
larger mail car and an additional clerk
clear through to Lewiston will be rec
commended.
Under the rules of the department
this service can not be inaugurated I'M
til the tonnage of mail reaches $500
pounds. One of the mail clerks today
stated that the tonnage this month was
running about an average of 1000
pounds which is nearly a thousand
pounds increase over the correspond
ing time last year. The increase in
tonnage will warrant better service
which will be of immense benefit to the
people of Lewiston as we'll as the post
office locally. With two clerks in the
railway service district mail and local
mail will be sorted so as to avoid it
being worked over in the local office

About Weather Eor,cas,s.

| So many of our people being so
little acquainted eth the real sci-
ence of meteorology, or the art Of
weather prediction, and as Uncle
Sam has established this branch Of
the government service particularly
in the interest Of the farmers of the
country, we give place below for the
following article on Weather Fore
casting" from the pen Of Mr.. W. s.
Belden, section director Of the
United States weather bureau sta
toned at Vicksburg. Considering
this subject, Mr.. Belden saws:
Although much progress has re
Gently been made In the development
OF the science of meteorology which is
today making for itself a place in our
leading high school and college cur
riculums, yet no meteorological, noted
for his scientific attainments, will at
tempt to make weather forecasts for
more than two or three days in ad.
vance. Notwithstanding these facts.
there are within our broad domain q
few men who, for personal gain, seek
to prey upon the credulity Of the public
by representing themselves as being
especially weather-wiss, or as having
within their possession some mysterI-
Gus power whereby they are enabled
to forecast weather changes for
month or Il year in advance. Some
times men OF this class attempt to
represent that their forecasts are In
a large measure dependent upon infor.
nation obtained from a scientific
branch Of the government, in order
that they may thus gain standing with
the press, which will enable them to
disseminate their nefarious forecasts
and secure remuneration for the same.
Those who will carefully investigate
for themselves by comparing those So
called long-range forecasts with the
daily weather. will soon become con.
vinced that there Is no reliance to be
placed in them Almost any person
with average intelligence and an ele.
mentary knowledge of the movements
of storms, can make long,range |
weather forecasts that will reach Just |
as high percentage of verfcation |
as those made by men who have Sc.
cured notoriety for their supposed
wisdom in forecaStins weather
changes.
The most erudite meteorologists, in
both Europe and America, have
thoroughly investigated the subject of
longrange forecasting with a view of
establishing, If possible, some rela.
ton between weather eausation and
any one Of the following named phe.
nomena: Planetary movements, vary
Ing positions of. the moon, increase
and decrease OF sun spots and appar-
ent variation in solar intensity. In no
case has the desired relationship been
established. Prof. w. M. Davis, of
Harvard College, says, in speaking of

PLACED DAMPER ON GENIUS.


A Norfolk farmes, who was possessed
of some means, entered the Office OF
his county paper and asked for the
editor, relates London paper.
The farmer was accompanied by his
son, youth Of II years, and as soon
as the editor, who was in his secret
sanctum, was informed that his WIS.,
itors were not bill collectors he came
forward and shook hands.
Il came ter get some information,
explained the farmer
Certainly" said the editor, and
you came to the right place. Be
seated"
The farmer sat on one end of the
table, while his son sat on the floor.
This boy O. mine" he said, wants
ter go into the literary business, an
thought you'd know et thar wuz any
money in it or not, It's a good busi-
ness, amt it?"
"Why-yes," said the editor. after
some hesitation. I've been in it my
self for Is years and you see where
I've got to-"
The farmer eyed him from head to
foot, glanced around the poorly-fur-
nished office, surveyed the editor once
more, then, turning to his son, who
was still on the floor, said:
"Git up, John, an go home, an go
back ter plowin'!"

SHERLOCK HOLMES RETlRES
Conan Doyle Announces That Famous
Detective Will Devote Time
to Bee Keeping.

IL will be q matter OF great regret
to many that next December Will
mark the final retirement from public
life of the eminent detective, Sherlock
Holmes.
Despite his iron constitution and
nerves Of steel, Mr.. Holmes Ia at last
feeling the strain of his great achieve
nents The bald announcement of his
retirement is chronicled In q London
magazine as follows;
We hear that Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle has written for the Christmas
rumber of the Strand Magazine the
last adventure Of the famous Sherlock
Holmes which he will ever chronicle.
II is said TO be The Adventure Of the
Second Stain"
When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was
asked for the reasons and circum-
stances Of the famous detectives re-
tirement, he said
"A man must retire some time. He
can't go on forever. Yes, his retire
ment is now absolute and final. so far
as know, there Is not the slightest
intention Of his ever again entering
the work Of the detection of crime.
His last adventure will be strenuous
one, and will, think, be on a level
With some Of his higher achievements.
after it he retires for good.
For a long time he has nursed the
icea OF a country fife, with its simple
delights, He will take little place
and VIII go In for bee-keeping.

The Gulf & Ship Island Railroad
Company has determined to make
an exhibit of all the various pro-
ducts in its territory at the State
Corn and Cotton Carnival to be held
in Jackson, beginning the first week
in December. The company has ap-
pealed to the people of every station
along Its line to use every effort to
have that particular station and its
vicinity excel in its exhibit. 1t also
appeals to the farmers, merchants,
manufacturers, lawyers, doctors,
fruit and truck growers to see that
the exhibits from that section of the
State will at least equal that from
any other. All the people are urged
to organize and agree upon what can
be sent from each vicinity, and are
asked to communicate freely and
frequently with j. H. Bouslog, the
industrial and immigration agent of
the road, at Gulfport, The people
along the line should properly APP
preciate this action on the part of
the railway people.
