How's the Weather.

A fair day to the public means a
day on which no rain falls. The
Weather Bureau calls a fair-weather
prediction verified though it rain all
day, if the rainfall does not exceed
.O2 of an inch. This frequently oc-
ours. A rainy-day prediction is con-
sidered verified and 100 per cent is
allowed the forecaster if the day is
entirely fair save for slight mist or
sprinkle of few drops of rain. Can
you beat that Furthermore. if
flair" is predicted for any territory
and the day is rainy, but the rainfall
measures less than .02 of an inch, the
forecast of fair" is considered verifi-
ed and 100 per cent is allowed the
bureau. Stationary temperature gives
the forester range Of 6 degrees
above and degrees below the
temperature of the previous day at
a. m. in other words, range of IL
degrees. Just try for yourself. You
can t miss by using this method.
Moreover, the total average" of
veri6cations of forecasts is made up
for the entire county. which includes
easy guesses and hard guesses. 1t
includes, say. New England and New
Mexico When the writer lived in
New Mexico, many years ago. it was
staple amusement to bet with any
tender foot during midsummer that it
would rain before 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. The bet was always made
in the morning, when the sky was
always cloudless The tendorfoot
invariably lost, because it always
rained later in the day. In those
parts anybody could tell absolutely
what the weather would be without @
weather bureau. In New England,
with a weather bureau, none can
tell approximately what the
weather will be. 1t is between these
two extremes of easy and hard guesses
that you must figure out the value OF
the Weather Bureaus performances
in guessing. If the bureau gains 30
per cent over the natural 30 per cent
of the law of chance. what should
be it's credit, IS or 80 per cent 2 In

WHEN WOMEN REGISTER.
A Hotel Clerk Explains Why BIotter
Is Necessary.

"Hotel clerks get to be great OBJ
servers of human nature" said an old
hotel lobbyist During the many
hours out OF each day that spend
warming this chair | have learned
many tricks of their trade which go
to prove my statement.
in fact, this clerk here has pc
culiar trick of his own which shows
how keen an observer he is. If you
watch him at work you will find when
ever woman is registering he holds
a blotter SO as to hide the other names
on the page. At first when / noticed
it / thought that he was merely hold
ing the blotter in readiness to use it
on the newly written name, but when
l found that he did it only when
woman was registering my curiosity
got the better of me, and l asked the
reason.
"'Why,' said he, women are the
most nervous creatures in the world.
l hold that blotter up to show that
am not watching them write their
names and at the same time to keep
them from trying to excel the other
handwriting on the page. If they no
ticed that | was watching them close
" it is a safe bet that they would get
nervous and make an awful botch of
their signatures trying to be fancy.
On the other hand, if they saw par
ticularly pretty signature on the next
line the chances are that they would
try to improve theirs with a flourish
or two, which generally means choice
blot to be scratched out by yours

ing over a woman's shoulder while she
registered. The result was just what
he said it would be."-Milwaukee Sen

A Compositor's HIunder.

Some years ago the following apollo
gettc explanation for a compositor's
blunder appeared In q leading weekly
literary journal published in London:
'In our last number, as we discov-
cred unfortunately too late for correc-
ton, we announced that Mr.. John Stu
art Mills inaugural address lately de-
livered before the University Of St.
Andrews had since been republished
by him in the form Of a five shilling
elephant Even the most ardent be-
levers in Mr.. Mills powers among our
readers will probably have received
this announcement with some fncredu-
lily. The fact is that by an error of
the press the word elephant was sub
stituted for pamphlet and the mis-
take, although the proof was read and
reread, unluckily escaped the correct
or's eye"

ter to the commission, also urged modi-
fication of the regulation requiring cars
to stop at all crossings to take on or let
off passengers. claiming that it is unrea-
sonable in case of blockades, slippery
tracks and similar conditions.
The company was informed the regula-
ton would be enforced in a reasonable
manner. It's request for the revocation
of the regulation requiring the heating of
closed trailers. as well as that requiring

reefs that the company be requested to
