WHY PREDICTION
PROVED INCORRECT

ihe press of the country is having
sun with DR.. Moore, chief of The
weather Bureau, on account of the
forecast for inaugural day. The
weather bureau predicted fair and
%ooier Tor that day but 1t seemed that
.ae elements conspired to trick the
xosccaster, and about the worst wea-
khcr that Washington has had for
many years was experienced on that
day
We hope that the weather bureau
Sii not take the press comments too
seriously. We know that weather
xorecasting is not an exact science.
and the weather bureau was simply
piaying in hard luck when one of its
occasional mistakes occurred at a
time when the attention of the conn
try was focused on the circumstances.
On the day in question Mr. Hard
WEe. the local observer called the
attention of number of people to
the weather then raging in the vic
unity of Washington, remarlSing that
that storm had made straight streak
from Puget Sound to Washington as
though it had received a special and
pressing invitation to attend the cere-
monies. and that by all the rules of
he game it should be at that time
atsporting itself somewhere off the
New England coast instead of hang
lug around the Capitol
Mistakes are bound to occur in
weather forecasting. but they do not
make us lose sight of the many bene-
tits we derive from the service. es-
pecially here in the Grand valley dur
sng the frost season.
DR. Moore has this to say about the
inaugural storm:
The Storm March 4.
IL is not usual to answer criticisms
Df the forecasts of the weather bu-
1eau, but the hundreds of press clip
pings that have been received since
March containing adverse criti-
-Isms of the bureau seem to call for
this statement from me.
Forecasts of the weather bureau
are before the public every day in the
year. In the past about one predic-
zion out of each ten failed to be veri-
flied, and it may be expected that the
same ratio of failure will be main
sained until meterology can be made.
what it is not now, an exact science
In case of the storm that visited
Washington on the 4th of March last
the fact is that the disturbance be-
gan here on the morning of the 3rd,
and was accurately forecast the day
before. The bureau anticipated that
1he storm center would pass over the
Middle Atlantic states during the
night of the 3rd, and that northwest
winds and falling temperatures would
leave clear day for the 4th. The
center passed precisely as forecast,
the wind shifted and the temperature
fell. but instead of the northwest
wind clearing the sky as it does in
nearly all cases, precipitation in the
form of snow occurred and continued
for twelve hours after the storm cen
ser had passed eastward. No fore
caster could forsee this Were we to
forecast fall of snow following the
passage of storm centers that move
from the northwest. we would have
hundreds of failures charged against

die Atlantic states except with the
approach of storm from the south
west, which causes northeast winds.
and II is extremely rare that any
storm in this region that begins with
rain ends with snow of any consid-
eraDie amount. On the contrary,
many storms that begin as snow end
as rain.
The forecast in question was made
by one of the most experienced fore
casters of the bureau and was con-
CURED in by all of the forecasters
who were conversant with the condi-
tions, and the same forecast would be
made today if similar conditions ex-
listed.
The forecasters of the U. S. Wealth
er Bureau are the equals, If not the
superiors of any others in the world.
and their predictions of frosts, cold
waves, floods, and marine storms al
though subject to error in the pro
portion of about one to ten, are of
such value to the industries of the
nation that if one of the newspapers
tnat now so freely criticise because
two unverified forecasts for the Dis
trict of Columbia have fallen on in

pages the daily predictions of the
weather its readers would compel it
to restore them, and if the Depart
ment of Congress were to close a sta
tion of the bureau in any part of the
United States the property interests
would demand its restoration. This
would not be the case if the hysterical
abuse that is now being INDUCED in
