SHOULD PAVE THE STREETS.

There is no lack of reasons why the
city council committee should reopen
the proposition 80 pave the approach to
the state capitol grounds and order the
work done. Il is a matter that already
has been neglected too hong, as the
future seat of the state government
is entitled to something better than
CoNpath 10 connect It with the city
The neighborhood that would be af-
fected by the Improvement is only thTes
or four blocks from the business center
OF the city. Many citizens have built
splendid homes there and are striving
10 make the section more attractive.
Their efforts are entitled TO support.
The city has not hesitated to expeud
money for paving in comparatively re-
mote quarters Of the city and there is
no reason why this section of State
street, close in as it is. and certain II
become one of the most important
avenues of traffic in the city in future
should be overlooked.
a large part of the abuitinS property
is owned by the state the city and the
city board of education. The state ana
board Of education authorities are
understood to be heartily i'm favor Of the
Improvement. The city should be i'm
favor of il, which leaves only the OBJ
jectiUns of private property owners To
be considered. The chief opposition ap-
pears To center in men who express
reluctance to disturb conditions that
existed i'm their fathers time Their
attitude is a small compliment TO the
fathers. who achieved their fame by
enterprise and action, not by opposing
movements designed to better existing
conditions IF these fathers were alive
State street from North Temple 10 Sec
oud North would have been paved long
ago and public spirited citizens would
not be forced TO meet the opposition of
narrow minded reactionaries who would
permit the approach TO the capitol TO
remain as nature made it.
1t Is understood a majority of the
citizens favor the Improvement and the
council committee should by all means
reopen the matter. at least for further
hearing 1t is too important to be
decided hastily.

explained by the undeniabie fact that
the moon changes every week and ali
changes in the weather must neces-
sarily come within three and three
fourths days Of change in the moon.
The chief of the weather bureau is
believed to be not only JUSTIFIED. but
morally enjoiBed. TO counteract as far
a. possible the mischieVous effects Of
the work OF astroiogers who pretend
to foreteH the character of coming sea
sons or the progress Of storms and or
binary weather conditions from a
month TO 2 year in advance, and whose
unlounded and unreliable forecasts are
too often given undue circulation by
the less careful publishers, says the
bureaus publication. a conclusion that
cannot fail to receive the endorsement
OF all well informed persons The
weather bureau IS taking advantage
of every discovery and device that
tends to increase the efficiency of its
service, and it may be taken for grant
ed that if d scientist WHO could call
the weather for a year in advance
really existed the government would
fad a way to make it more proHta bic

than for almanac publishers.

! oNG-RANeE FORECASTS.

Some Of The sbsurdities of the long
range weather forecasts put out by
quacks are treated in a publication by
the central office Of the United States
weather bureau. Copies OF the publi-
cation have been received by DR.. r. J..
Hyatt. section director to Utah.
Planetary weather forecasts are too
far-fetched 10 be practicable says the
publication The prophets in that line
work at the wrong end of the prob
lem. When there is a little more than
tie usual degree Of heat or storminess
they peer into the nebular spaces to
see what caused the disturbance on the
earth. and then aliege that it was done
by Jupiter, or was the maIign work
O. Saturn, which in their philosophy
causes epidemics ana pestilentlaI con-
tagious diseases. Possibly, also. they
may in time discover that it is due
to Saturnian potency that we have
rings and combines in human affairs.

The bureau invites a comparison Of
actual weather conditions. as shown BY
the bureaus maps. ~ith some of the
long-range forecasts given to the pub
lie through almanacs and other me-
diums. TIE ease with which change
