But the man wouldn't forget it. He thought about it

20 years if he wanted to without doing him any harm.
That's where you mistaken.

WORK OF THE WEATHER BUREAU

United States, on of which is To-
Gated in Spokane in charge OF
Charles Stewart. Little is publish
ed of the workings of the weather
bureau, yet is it has proved one of
the most valuable departments of
theh government. The weather
forecast that you see published
daily in The Press is furnished by
the bureau, together with maps and
reports showing the temperature
and weather conditions all over the
country.
In addition to this the bureau has
been extended in the past year by
telegraphic connection with sta
tions in European and Asiatic Rus
STA, Iceland, Farce islands and
Nome. The immense value of this
system is shohwn in its effective
ness in warning shipping of APP
preaching hurricanes, as well as
preparing inland points for stormy
visitations. The bureau has re-
ceived official notification from the
West Indies and other places that
millions dollars have been
saved and many lives preserved by
theh timely warning flashed when
thhe bureau detected the approach
of hurricane long before evidence
of it became visible to the eye or
senses. The delicate instruments
at command of the weather OBJ
server are unerring in exposing the
slightest deviation from the normal
condition of the atmosphere.
But this work, important as it is,
by no means comprises the func-
ton of the weather bureau. 1t deals
with polar radiation, physics,
magnetism, earthquake observa-
ton, natural phenomena, such as
the evaporation of the Salton sea,
river and flood service, climateo-
logical, which includes crop statis-
tics, and ocean meteorology. From
all this the bureau derives an i'm
mense amount of work in deduc-
ing and preserving the results of
countless observations and expert
ments for the benefit of scientific
research.
One of the notable achievements
of the bureau is sending instru-
ments tot a height of from two to
| nearly five miles into the air by
means of aerOplanes. from which a
number of important meteOrologi-
| cal discoveries have been made.
| The worlds record for high obser-
vations was made last October at
Mount Weather, when an altitude
of Phil feet above sea level was
reached. The bureau Is now in the
midst of experiments that will open
new fields for science in the study
of atmospheric conditions of the
earth, and in time will bring the
art of predicting changes down to
an absolute certainty.
The work of the bureau is at
tracing attention all over the
world and its value is becoming
more appreciated in this country
in the interest OF which it Is labor
ing night and day. The reader who
notes the official forecast daily may
know little of the intricate process
of forming it, but he can grasp the
fact very readily that small but
trained army of men are constantly
on guard at their various stations
the country over, striving to solve
to a degree the mystery of what
the next day will bring forth. The
bureau maintains 1876 stations. The
result benefits every class and the
daily report Is feature of newspa
pers that commands all the consid.
Grafton due to scientific accom-.
plishment.
