Right You Are.

With all due respect to the Nation
az Board of Geographic Names, the
Vernal Express viii continue to spell
uintah county with an '.H' and al
low the spelling of the word to re-
main the same at the head of the
paper as it has for the past fourteen
years. The people hero are perfectly
satisfied with "Uintah'' although il
may not look good to others.
While the N. b. of q. n. is doing
lots OF good in Strengthening out
geographic names, it's away OFF, in
trying to loop off the 'sH'' in Uintah.

A Terrible Calamity
Befalls San francisco

A telephone message was received
here Thursday evening announcing a
dreadful calamity at San Francisco,
which came in the shape of Two
earthquake shocks on Wednesday
morning.
The earthquakes destroyed the
water works system of the city and
fire followed, wiping out the entire
business portion of the city and most
of the residence portion.
Latest reports say there are 300o
people homeless and thousands XII
led.
Aid is being rushed to the stricken
city from all over the nation.

THE PULSE oF THE WIND.
Experiments Made on the rpIand OF st
Helena Of Much Value.

Out in the wastes of the southern
Atlantic there brc ks up through its
tempestuous waters. into the very
heart of the southeast trades, that
famous little rocky pinnacle, the island
of st. Helena. This lonely Napoleonic
relic of wave-worn stone is, it seems,
the best place in the world to feel the
pulse OF the wind. As far back as
1890 Prof. Cleveland Able, meteorolo-
gist Of the United States Weather
Bureau, during an eclipse expedition
to St Helena, called attention to its
peculiar fitness az a meteorological
station, and urged the establishment
Of an observatory there.
This suggestion was brought to the
attention OF the British Colonial Office,
but with no result, except that an old
wind recorder, called an anemograph,
just returned from Heligoland, was
sent out to the curate or some other
religious functlonary connected with
st. Matthew's vicarage on the island,
along with couple of pounds or there
abouts per annum TO pay him for look
ing after It, The records obtained by
this and one or two other instruments,
subsequently added to form what the
British Weather Bureau designates n
normal station of the second ORDER"
have accumulated fer fifteen years.
Their study, says w. N. Shaw secre-
tary Of the Meteorological Council Of
Great Britain. has raised some ex-
tremely interesting questions as to
the relationship between wind veloc-
ity at st. Helena and rainfall through
out northern Europe.
He believes there is a casual relation
between the two; tnat The pulsations
of the southeast trades are in some
way closely connected with the amount
of rainfall over certain great land
areas. At any rate, he says. if one
cannot positively assume this, the rec
ords in question are sufficiently strik-
ing to justify further inquiry. By 1904
the old wind meter had become so
worn that it was returned to England
for repairs. Presumably it is back
again long before this. humming out
the beginning of another fifteen years
record for scientific ''weatherists" to
speculate about.
Rainfall and the trades are. says
Mr.. Shaw, both closely connected with
the distribution of solar energy over
the earth and the equalization Of heat
extremes. If they have close mutual
relationship and science can unrayel it,
the meagre science of weather proph-
ecy win be considerably enriched, and
results Of great economic Importance
may ensue.

drove the junior partner out into the
fields again, where he undertook all
sorts of rou1-. farm labor. from split
ting rails to plowing. AS a man-of-
all-work, however, Lincoln did not
prove altogether satisfactory to his
employers. He was too fond of mount
ing stumps in the field and "practlcing
polemics" on the other farm hands,
and there was something uncomfort-
able about a plowman who read as he
followed the team, no matter how
straight his burrows ran. Such prac-
tices were irritating, if not p-esump-
tuous, and there is a weIl-known story
about a farmer who found "the hired
man" lying in field beside the road,
dressed in his not too immaculate farm
clothes, with a book instead of { pitch
fork in his hand.
