COMING OF SPRING.
Almanac Gives Next Wednesday as
Date for Arrival.

Spring will make it's appearance next
Wednesday. according to the almanac,
and after that date it is said the farmers
may begin thei7 early spring blowing. 1t
Is explained that the frost Is already off
the ground and there is nothing in sight
to prevent the blowing and planting
unless the unexpected happens and a
blizzard comes bowling along.
A sure harbinger of an early spring is
reported from the suburbs of Washing

to throw off their overcoats by shedding
their winter fur. Other signs pointed out
by weather-wise citizen is the lower
price for eggs and the fact that sparrows
and other birds are beginning to nest He

of How to Tell
When Storm Is Coming.
MOST COMPLEX OF SCIENCE
Statement by Prof. Garriott, Official
Forecaster.
OF THE BAROMETER
Use of the Observation-Disclosures
Subject to Error-Long-Range
Predictions.

A weather bureau observer was recent
ly asked How do YOU know when a
storm is coming: do you observe its ap-
proach with n telescope?" The ques-
toner was an educated and trained
teacher in the public schools of one of
the principal cities. The incident is re-
ferred to for the purpose of presenting a
perhaps isolated instance in which educa-
ton and intelligence did not go hand in
hand. 1t is explained that an answer to
the main question involves a brief refer
ence to the history of the oldest and the
newest. the simplest and the most COM
pick of sciences, the science of the
weather.
Referring to the foregoing subject,
Prof Edward B. Garriott,s official fore
caster of the United States weather bu-
reau, in a conversation about the weather
with Star reporter. said
"Meteorology was an established branch
of science thousands of years before the
Christian era: the law of storms was dis
covered less than one hundred years ago.
References in the earliest writings show
that studies were made of the weather
and that the art of weather forecasting
was practiced in prehistoric times. Mod
ern science proves that assumptions as to
cause and effect, made when the earth
and not the sun was supposed to be the
center of our planetary system, are err
roneous; it teaches that the ancient art of
astrology. that embraces star divination
and planetary influences, has been dis
credited as a means of tracing human
destinies and presaging weather. events.
The science Of the weather has advanced
from simple observations of visible signs
of impending storms to the most intricate
mathematical calculations of the physical
causes that produce them.

Long Range Forecast.

THE inquiry now naturally arises: How
about long-range weather forecasts-can
they be nader The answer is yes and
no. Accurate forecasts can often be
made for periods greater than those COW
cred by the official forecasts, which are
for one and two days in advance only.
Forecasts cannot be made for months and
seasons in advance, and alleged forecasts
of this character are made by men who
are honest and ignorant or dishonest and
designing. To the first class belong those
who bark back to the age when stellar
influences were supposed to dominate the
weather that is peculiar to the several
seasons, and planetary movements were
believed to control alterations of weather
that are experienced from day to day.
The latter class is made up OF men who
for notoriety or gain aim to hoodwink
the public.
THE range of weather forecasts is lin
tied to calculations that can be made with
available observations of current atmos-
pheric conditions. During the last two
or three years daily observations by tele-
graph have been received at Washington
not only from the United States. Canada
and Mexico, but also from islands of the
Atlantic. Iceland. Europe and the Hawaii
an Islands. Within the last year the re-
gion of observation has been extended
over Asia and Alaska, and provision has
been made for securing daily reports from
the Philippine Islands. Guam and other
points that are meteorOlOgically impor-
tant.

Observation Of Approach.


You may know when a storm is COM
ing several hours before its arrival by OBJ
serving its approach with the naked eye.
At an elevation sufficient to overtop the
curvature of the earth your visual range
will be extended by the use of a tele-
scope. An understanding observation of
the direction and force of the wind, the
character and movements of clou0s, and
various other atmospheric conditions and
appearances will furnish indications of
the probable weather In your locality for
the ensuing twelve or twenty-four hours.
Barometric readings have been utilized
for the last few hundred years. and usu-
ally afford early local indications of ap-
roaching weather changes: when cor
rectly interpreted they measure, in de-
gree, the character of the changes.
In the modern practice of forecasting
the approach of storms Is observed by
telegraph Prof. Garriott continued. THE
period of the forecasts is governed largely
by the area from which Geographic re-
ports are received. The average time re-
quired for a storm to traverse the North
American continent is about four days.
At times the period of transition Is less.
and again it is greater than four days.
The accuracy of the calculation of
storms movements and future develop
ment or dissolution varies with the knowi-
edge and skill of the forecaster. His
work is in some respects similar to that
of train dispatcher who schedules an
express train from San Francisco to New
York. Barring accidental happenings the
arrival of the train at its final point of
destination and at intermediate points
can be determined with great accuracy.
The calculations of the weather forecast
er, made in a somewhat similar manner
are subject to error, due to unforeseen
happenings. to which practical applica-
ton of a new and imperfectly understood
branch Of science is liable. In each line
of work the error is small when the equip
ment is good. The weather and storm
warning work of the government service
yield monthly averages of So to 80 per

INQUIRERS FOR REASONS.
Lieut.. Williams Asks Why Sailors
Were Barred Out.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y. September 3
Lieut.. Roger Williams, U.SN, command
ing the Presidents yacht Sylph, recently
addressed letter to the manager of the
1nnside Inn here inquiring why several
sailors from his ship were not permitted
to enter the dancing pavilion which is run
in connection with the hotel last Sat-
urday evening. He asked the manager
whether the exclusion of the Sylph's men
was due to their personal conduct or
whether the hotel management discrimi-
mated against men in Inform.
The management Of the Innside Inn re-
piled that the sailors had been blockading
the entrance to the dancing pavilion, ne
cessitating the request that they leave.
Immediately and without making any dis
turbance. The hotel proprietor then as
sured the commander of the Sylph that
no man wearing the uniform Of the
United States Navy or Army would ever
be refused admission to the dancing pa
vilion or the hotel SO long as he conduct
ed himself as gentleman.
In reply to this Lieut.. Williams ex-
pressed his pleasure at learning the at
titude of the hotel people on the subject
of men in the uniform Of the United
States Navy. The commander had made
an investigation on the Sylph and learn
ed that three OF his sailors had gone to
the 1nnside Inn dancing pavilion Sat
urday evening. BY these men he had
been informed that they did not enter
the pavilion because they had been told
by outsiders that they would not be al
lowed to enter.
