Weather Observer w. F. Reed. Jr..
who is one of the most efficient off,
Gals to have charge of the local
weather bureau, is a strong believer
IN the weather service of the United
States, which he believes equals. if il
is not superior to any country of the
world.
Tosa representative of The Journal
yesterday Mr.. Reed, in speaking OF
the criticism of the department bv a
few on account of the March 4th fore
cast of the department, said:
What the weather bureau is doing.
what it has done, and what it will do
in the future toward helping the peo-
pie of the United States in their va
TiOuS industries and in the protection
OF life and property, is a question
that some of the leading magazine
writers of the country have been
greatly concerned in during the past
few months
MAGAZINE CRITICISM.
An article by Emerson Hough ap-
pears in the May issue of Every
body's Magazine in which he claims
that the weather bureau does not
make good. He means that the
amount of money appropriated nv
congress 10 maintain the weather SER
the people of the United States do not
save as a result of that expenditure
a sufficient amount Of property to
Justify the continuance of the service.
ELIAS B. Dunn. who was removed
from charge of the weather bureau
station in New York city i'm 1898 for
reasons that were satisfactory TO
President Mckinley and Secretary
Wilson, also furnishes a criticism for
the prediction Of fair weather in
Washington for March 4th. Mr..
Dunn's hindcast for March 4th is a
snOwstorm. He sees now that the
weather bureau should have predict
ed a severe snowstorm for the District
of Columbia. Ever since Mr.. Dunn
has been ousted from the service he
has been helping the newspapers and
magazines 10 find damaging informa-
ton against the work that was once
the pride of his heart; but now. a
hornets nest that stings him TO great
er Indignation every time he pOkes IL
UP.
CONGRESS APPROVES.
IF any body of intelligent men Of
the country is able to Judge of the
merits of the weather service. If any
body is able to bring together the
opinions of the masses and determine
what the people Of our great republic
want. and what they do not want. il
ought TO be congress. Representa-
tives and senators from every section
OF the country appreciate the grand
work of the bureau; its value to agri-
cultural, commercial and marine in
terests, SO much so that they even
appropriate more money to maintain

Tallahassee, Fla, May Over half
the session of the 1909 legislature
has gone down into state history, over
five hundred bills have been intro
dCced in the house and nearly four
hundred in tle senate And not one
ell of real statewide Importance has
reached the governor for his sigma
tue. The prohibition constitutional
amendment has been certified to the
secretary Of state and that is about
all Of Importance that has been finally
completed. And the last half of the
session is now under way
The past week has been an event
full one 1t has been one of coutiu-
uOUs argument upon various prob
lens in both houses and while little
progress has been made on the caIen-
OARS the week has seen some of the
big problems Of the session disposed

REINFORCEMENT QUESTION.
In the senate the reapportfonment
question has practically been settled
by that body deciding to leave It
Cre! 1t took a whole day TO do that.
The Harris bill provided for a reap
poTtOnment on the constitutional ba-
SIS o.. one hundred members. That
meant the taking away of a represen-
taeTc TO give TO a large county Nat
U-al1y self preservation was the first
thought and there was nothing doing
as long as the little counties could
help it
The only possibility of a reappor-
tlCnment of representation being made
by the present legislature is in the
passage of the Cook constitutional
amendment which provides for an APP
prTtiOnment based absolutely uDon
population and with no other limit.
But this is extremely doubtful. The
senate isn't acting very favorably to-
wards constitutional amendments and
the action of the pTOhis in the house
in handing together 10 kill all amend
uents has a very evident effect in
there.
TO BLOCK LEGISLATION.
There was plenty of racket when
some of the ants discovered that
there was a plan on foot to block all
constitutional amendments. They ac-
COrdiHgly sprung it in most effective
st! le on the floor. But they discov-
Led then that it wasn't so much
after all. In fact Robertson o. ST.

amendments pretty consistently for
the reason that elections in recent
wears have proven pretty cOnclusively

Washington June z6.-The saw

the houses Of congress are in action
has been stilled and will be for all
time IL the ediet OF Elliott Woods, SUI

may swelier and perspire. but the ora

his way in eliminating what is called
very disturbing factor to the speak

During the consideration Of the
Dingley tariff bill electric fans sent
their cooling breezes throughout the
chambers. The trouble developed,
however. for when some 'long-winded
orator obtained the floor some of the
nischievors members would sauntcr
over to the fans and turn on the cur
rent. and the resounding disturbance
was akin to the operation OF foun-
dry
The experience OF that session was
so unpleasant to the speakers that the
officials at the capitol will avoid q
repetition OF It by barring the fan.
