Weather Seers.
ARE FAKlRs AND lMpOsTERs
Belong TO Dark Ases-Propheeies do
Not Come True--People Should
Investigate and Reject Work
OF Artful Astrolosers.

Portland, Or. Nov. ss.--The follow
ing letter is issued by Forecaster Ed
ward Beals of the U. $. weather
bureau:
There are today in the United States,
as well in other civilized countries a
few persons who make their living by
publishing so called long range weather
forecasts, based upon old theories
which have no foundation. and which
scientific men long ago rejected. We
also find in almost every community
some man who sets himself as a
weather prophet and who prognosti-
Gates. year by year. hard winters, dry
spells. and other calamities, Once in
great while he hits the mark, and
then his Il told you so" receives pub
lie acknowledgment: all his previous
misses are forgotten. and great is his
fame throughout the land.
These men may be conscientious in
their belief. or veritable tricksters. 1t
matters not which. and does not
change the fact that their sayings and
doings are an inheritance Of the dark
ages, when all the world was yelled in
superstition and ignorance. This we
know. for by tracing back the mental
progress Of the human race we find
that all savages today have their rain
makers and their rain shoppers, and
that the patriarchal tribes still believe
that comets. eclipses and other unus-
ual appearances forebode dire disas-
ters. Also, anciently. the most civili-
Eed nations, such as the Chaldeans
Egyptians Jews Greeks. and Romans,
had their soothsayers and oracles, who
imposed upon credulous public.
Latterly. the astrologers of the
middle ages had large following, and
from the beginning of the 18th CEN
tury up to the beginning OF the 10th
century they flooded Germany. France
and Great Britain with almanaes con-
tanning prophecies of the weather. as
well as prophecies regarding the mi-
nutest details of conduct in the daily
lives of the people. These prophecies
were the merest twaddle, but il took a
long time after Copernicus had ex-
pIoded the theory that our little world
was the center of the universe before
the belief in astrology received any
check. Now II has so far disappeared
that none but artful plunderers and
ignorant dupes give it the slightest
countenance
II is not so with the so-called long
range weather forecasters. Unfortu-
nately many people, and some of the
less careful publishers. are apparently
in ignorance of the true character of the
work of these self-appointed prophets.
We cannot account for the continued
publication of their utterances in any
other way.
Characterizing them as fakirs and
fmposters avail us little. The people
themselves must decide as to the true
worth of their work. Let those who
have any interest in the matter care
fully compare the published forecasts
with the actual weather day by day,
for in no ether way will the utter
worthlessness of the whole mischie-
vous business be exposed.
Yours truly,
Edward A. Beals District Forecaster.

TRAGEDY AT T YTY, GA.
Fatal Encounter Between a Merchant
and Farmer.

Fatal Encounter Between a Merchant
and Farmer.
Triton, Ca, Oct. 18.-J. e. Slaughter
O well known farmer, about SO years
of age, was shot and instantly killed
at Ty Ty, miles west of Tifton, by
A. L. Ford, merchant of this place.
A few days ago Ford had some
words with young son Of Slaughters,
and, it is said, cursed him. 1t is
thought Slaughter met Ford in front Of
his store at Ty Ty and after few
words Ford Drew a pistol and shot
him, two bullets entering his breast,
causing instant death.
Accounts differ as to whether
Slaughter drew weapon on not. Ford
has been in the mercantile business in
Ty Ty for twenty years, and for the
past three years has lived in Triton,
running a large general store.
He was closing UP his business pre-
paratory to moving to Atlanta in De-
cember. Slaughter was a prominent
farmer with large family.

Peace Proposals Inopportune.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 18.-2:08 p. m.
AN announcement from Washington
saying that the administration believ-
ed that the time for mediation In
the Far Eastrn war was approaching
has created an unfavorable impression
in government circles, where there Is,
an inclination to associate it with
the interview CT the Associated Press
with diplomat at Toxic, suggesting
the propriety of renewing the efforts
in behalf of the restoration of peace.
The idea of peace, it is asserted here,
could hardly come more inopportune-
ly. with the Japanese In the full flush
of victory. L: has aroused only re-
sentiment and there Is no doubt II
if President Roosevelt should actually
attempt to open the question at this
time he would meet with rebuff.

First Nine Months Of 1904.
Chicago, Oct 13.-Since Jan. 1, 1904,
354 persons have been killed In rail.
road wrecks in the United States and
over 1,70y have been more or less sc.
verely injured. How many more later
died of their injuries there is no means
Of telling These casualties have
been caused by thirty accidents.
A. c. Miller, of Chicago draws the
following conclusion from his years
of experience as an investigator OF
railroad wrecks:
"The hardest thing with which the
railroan men have to contend In the
operation of their systems is the
p1oneness of engineers to disregard
signals. The best man Who ever ran
an engine will have his moments OF
mental alteration, when he will fail to
see the danger ahead until It is toe
late to provide against It. That can
be done only by automatically stop

ed. Foreign Secretary Lansdowne
made two replies on Oct. 10 and Oct.
Ia. He said that the negotiations
with Russia, which were still pro-

in the admission of the principle that

contraband, and, therefore, he could
not undertake to say that vessels car
