STORMS SHOWED BACK
UNPRECEDENTED OCCURRENCES
IN THE WEATHER WORLD.

The year 1905 has been replete with
weather surprises and meteorological
freakishness. according to the records Of
the weather bureau. The latest unprece-
denied happenings were the forcing back
ward OF two severe tropical storms to the
region of their origin. Such was accom-
plished by high barometers in the north,
which stretched out their atmosph eric
arms. as 1t were, and literally caused the
southern storms to recede in the direc-
ton whence they came by pushing them
backward.
The recent hurricane which wreaked its
fury on tho island of Cuba. causing many
deaths and much destruction Of property,
proceeded as far north as the Carolina
coast. when 1t was met by the barometric
high" from the northern ATTITUDES and
brought to a halt there. It was feared that
It would cause much additional damage on
the sea and the coasts before 1t lost its
destructive energy, but the high barometer
that was moving southwark caught the big
blow In its grasp, and after a struggle for
supremacy the high" came out victor and
| sent the hurricane back to its tropical lair,
as 1t were.
Prof. Garriott this afternoon said to
Star reporter that the disturbance was then
central over the extreme southern portion
OF Florida and moving south. It has lost
most OF Its energy, however. the professor
explained. and will probably die out as
storm in q short time. as a result of it's
catch-as-catch-can bout with the northern
high"
Retrograde Movement Of Storm.
This retrograde movement Of storm of
| such severity as that which recently dew
astated parts Of Cuba is said by weather
offcials to be without precedent in the an
mails Of the meteorological service
As q result OF the unusual occurrence In
! the weather world. forecasting has been
rather difficult proposition for the time
| being. The present outlook for this city,
according to Prof. Garriott. will be cloudy
and unsettled conditions for the next two
| days: When the clearing away of the
clouds begins this vicinity will be visited
by colder weather. Reports from the west
today show cold and snowy weather pre-
vailing at Denver and in the Rocky noun
tain region.
Prof. Garriott also stated that the storm
Of September 20 and q, which resulted in
much damage at Mobile, Pensacola and
vicinity. had proceeded as far north as

stated in The Star, and it is understood

unusually barren. Tho acts of
the German Reichstag already fill
forty big volumes. When to this is
added the Legislative output of tho

That much Of the legislation thus in

hardly be said. 1t IS evidently much
easier to limit the volume of legislation

prevent this worse than waste OF the

POSSIBILITY OF TROUBLE WITH
JARAN.

When the United States acquired pos
session Of the Philippine islands, it was
recognized that this acquisition of terri
tory on the opposite side Of the globe in
creased our vulnerability In case of war
to a marked degree, That feeling OF in
security was still further Increased
when Japan showed her ability in the war
with Russia to crush what had been sup,
posed to be osse Of the strongest military
powers of the world The true meaning Of
tho possibility OF trouble between the
United States and Japan has been brought
before the American people, by advices
from Japan stating that tremendous in
dignaton exists among the people of the
island empire on account Of the exclusion
of Japanese children from the public
schools IN California.
A pronounced effort seems TO be in
government and Japan. and while the OK
clusion OF children of japanese parentage
Itself a serious matter. it is merely an in
cident as compared with the formidable
movement OH the Pacific coast to place
japanese on a par with the Chinese 50
far as possible in this country.
The United States is vulnerable to
Japan in two ways, and the present
trouble might result Ia, our injury In eth
er OF these ways or both. In the first
place the Philippines could be easily at
tackled by Japan. In the second place
Japan might seriously interfere with the
development of American trade In the Far
East
In view Of our experiences in connec-
sion with tho suppression of the Philip
pine rebellion, it Is hardly necessary TO
argue that in the event of war with
Japan, we would be likely to find our
situation in the Philippines exceedingly
uncomfortable. II not disastrous. We
can all easily recall the difficulties we eX-
perienced in transporting forces and
military supplies to the Philippines
when comparatively small force was
required. and tho long period required
for the consummatio of the movement
