MOTION Is. DENIED.

Motion Of Defendants Attorney for
Continuance In the Sievert Case is
Denied by Judge Winchester.
Judge Winchester has denied the
motion of Attorney Otto Grethen, at
torney for Gottlieb sievert. the Nc
Lean county prisoner charged with the
murder of his wife, and awaiting trial
at this term of court, for a continu-
ance Of the case. Attorney Grethen
presented his affidavit to the court
yesterday, stating the reasons for a
continuance and the motion was de-
MED. Attorney Grethen claims the
prisoners financial condition is such
that he cannot get his witnesses here,
and assigned a number of reasons for
delay. The motion having been de-
MED, the trial of the case will be pro-
ceeded with at this term. States At
torney McCulloch will probably move
the case as soon as the present civil
case is out of the way.
The term of district court promises
to be longer than expected at the out
set. There are still several criminal
cases to be tried, aside from the two
murder cases, that against Sievert and
that against Albert Scribner for the
killing of William Head.

LONG RANGE FORECASTS.

q -, s--..1-t -
Weather Bureau Declares Against
Prophets Who Claim to Make Long
Range Forecasts. i
The following communication has
been Sent. to the state press by direc-
tor Bronson of the local weather
bureau: ~..... ..s.. Z,
Owing to the frequent long-ranged
warnings, (so-called), of severe
storms, cold waves and other disas-
tiers, made by utterly irresponsible
persons, and which at times cause
alarm to those not informed on the,
subject, your cooperation is desired in
making known to the public that such
warnings or forecasts, no matter by
whom made. are of no value what
ever. You will do the people of your
section favor by publishing the fol-
lowing as indicating the position of
the weather bureau officials in the
matter:
The establishment Of the weather
bureau, or as it WIS formerly called,
Signal Service, BY the United States,
marked a new epoch in weather fore
casting. Prior to that time, while
weather forecasts had been made from
time to time immemorial, they were
only more or less gusses, just as the
present long-rangef forecasts, issued
by a number of different persons for
gain only, are; but as they were con-
fined to the immediate locality of the
person making them, they were of lit
! tie Importance, and did neither injury
or benefit: The success attending the
| work of the weather bureau on strict
: ly scientific principles however, has
brought forward a number of persons,
who from some so called deductions
! of their own, began issuing what they
! term long-range forecasts, giving the
weather conditions for more or less
long period in advance. A study of
these forecasts and a comparison OF
them with the actual weather condi
tions will convince any person, how
ever biased, that at the best they are
only guesses, and if followed up by
those who are really interested in the
weather, will be likely to do far more
harm than. good. It may be safely
stated that there is no science OF
method known at present, by which
the weather may be predicted for 6
much longer period than thirty-si1
hours in advance, and even then the
weather bureau official, with a know
ledge Of the conditions actually tax
ing place in every part Of the country
each twelve hours, aided not only by
the result of other persons study, but
by long years of experience, canno
always forecasts the coming condition!
for the period, which shows the ut
ter inability of any person to foretel
the weather for more than a month il
advance.
The so called long-range forecasts
from whatever source issued, have NJ
real foundation, and should, not be
depended on by any person who il
interested in the weather.
