LONG RANGE WEATHER
PREDICTIONS FAKES
ARE USUALLY MADE so THOR.
QUICKLY INDEFINITE AS TO
TIME THAT THEY CAN HAVE
NO ACTUAL vERlFicATtoN.

An article sent out from the Off
cial weather bureau says: The ques-
ton of making long range weather
forecasts. for several months or a
year in advance. has been studied and
worked on for several years, not only
by the foremost scientists of the
country but those. of Europe as well.
Meteorological records covering long
periods have been consulted and dates
Of important meteorological events
carefully compared with the position
of greatest frequency OF sunspots and
other kindred phenomena This prob
lem Is still being carefully investigat-
ed. but so far the work has only dc
monstrated the fact that with the
present knowledge of The laws gov
eming weather changes no reliable
forecasts can be made covering the
seasons in advance. II is to be hoped
that the time win come when this
great problem will be rewarded by
SUCCESS. and that some fundamental
law will be discovered making il pos
sible 10 state definitely the general
characteristics of the weather which
will prevail i'm each locality for the
coming season. But at present this II
absolutely impossible.
In view of these facts an explana-
ton is in order relative 20 the social
cd long range forecasts issued by Ger
tain persons and palmed OF on the
public in various ways. These are
the work Of fraudulent impo5:ers or
unbalanced cranks. nearly always the
former They are not based on any
scientific foundation and are issued
for the sole purpose Of making money
of the credulity Of the public. In
some cases these fraudulent forecasts
are published by the perpetrators IN
an almanac Of their own. which Is
sold al a good price. bringing in a
nice little income. others sell then
to the numerous advertising slmanacs
