The official messengers of the sever

votes to Washington, will have posi-

as, well. The profitable part of the
assignment will obtain especially as

A computation Of the money to be

get $500, the distance between st. Paul

CITY OFFICERS TO CONFER.
Mayor Wall Of Fargo Proposes Con-
ference of City Officers.


Fargo Forum: Mayor Wall has in
vited the mayors and city attorneys
of the cities in North Dakota to a con-
ference in this city December 21st.
Already replies have been received
from number Of city officials
throughout the state signifying their
intention of being present and it is
anticipated that there will be large
and representative attendance.

discuss and recommend to the legis-
lature some needed reforms in the
state laws relative to the government
of cities.
Mayor Wall said this morning that
he had no particular legislation in
view when he issued the invitation
but that there are a number of mat
tiers which have been overlooked by
the legislature heretofore and which
are of great Importance to the welfare
of cities in the state.
Mayor Severn of jamestown, who is
In the city today, said that he thought
that law fixing the limit of bonded
Indebtedness of cities was one that
should be amended by the legislature.

will be taken at the meeting of mayors
here to bring this matter before the
legislature.

WEATHER FoREcAsTlNG.

so In earnest is Chief Moore of the
Weather Bureau about informing the
public as to the value of accurate
weather forecasting, that he will
dwell at some length on the subject
in his annual forthcoming report. In
this report he draws the following con-
illusions:
"Q) That systems of long-range
weather forecasting that depend upon
planetary meteorology; moon phases,
cycles, positions, or movements;
stellar influences, or star divination;
indications afforded by observations
OF animals, birds, and plants; and
estimates based upon days, months,
seasons, and years, have no legitimate
bases.
(2) That meteorologists have made
exhaustive examinations and compare
sons for the purpose of associating
the weather with the various phases
and positions of the moon, in an earn.
est endeavor to make advances in the
science along the line of practical fore
casting, and have found that while the
moon and, perhaps planets exert some
influence upon atmospheric tides, the
influence is too slight and obscure to
justify consideration of lunar and
planetary effects in the actual work
of weather forecasting.
"(3) That the stars have no appre
cable influence upon the weather.
"(4) That animals, birds, and plants
show by their condition the character
OF past weather, and by their actions
. the influence of present weather and
the character of weather changes that
may occur within a few hours.
"(5) That the weather of days,
months, seasons, and years affords no
indication of future weather, further
than showing present abnormal con-
ditions that the future may adjust.
"(6) That six and seven day
weather periods are too ill.defned and
irregular to be applicable to the actual
work of forecasting.
~ That advances in the period and
accuracy Of weather forecasts depend
upon a more exact study and under
standing Of atmospheric pressure ovel
great areas, and a determination of
the influences, probably solar, that are
responsible for normal and abnormal
distributions of atmospheric pressure
over the earth's surface.
"(S) That meteorologists are not
antagonistic to honest, well directed
efforts to solve the problem of long
range forecasting; that, on the con-
trary, they encourage all work in this
field, and condemn only those who for
notorety or profit or through misdinect-
ed zeal and unwarranted assumptions
bring the science of meteorology into
disrepute.
"(9) That meteorologists appreciate
the Importance to the world at large
OF advances in the period of forecast
ing, and are inclined to believe that
the twentieth century will mark the
beginning of another period in
meteorological science"
