What He Was Good For.

A STORY about Oscar Hammerstein
enlvened New York society last
month.
A young millionaire, the story goes, be-
ing enamored Of the new school of opera,
persuaded Mr.. Hammersteln to try his
voice. He hoped to sing good parts In
"Thals,'' "Salome. 'Tosca" and other
famous modern works.
Mr.. Hammerstein, after listening TO the
young mans powerful voice, said gently:
II am afraid that you won't suit for
any of the very subdued, very subtly
modulated French and Italian works; Int
am going to bring out Wagncrs Flying
Dutchman' later on. and I'd much Ike
to engage you to do the bowling of the
tempest in the wreck scene

not long ago in a New Jersey asylum.
after having been long among the missing,
his once brilliant mind beclouded with
vagaries. Mr.. Able. after making mete-
orology his main field of usefulness, did
not lose interest in astronomy. and he has
written on that subject and many others
i'll recent years Moreover he has never
fallen behind the times, for one of his
latest essays was contribution to an
aeronautical journal on the opportunities
for studying weather conditions by those
who go up in ba looms.
When the Signal Corps established the
weather service the same difficulty was
met as is experienced today. the lack OF
sufficient men with scientific knowledge
of the subject to do the work. and so a
meteorological school was established at
Fort Myer. Just as one was eSta bliShed
n the central station a few months ago,
and two of the earliest students were w.
l.. Moore and Henry f. Williams, now
chief and assistant chief.
Mr. Moore is one of the distinguished
public men of today who looks back with
pride upon thS fact that he was once a
newsboy. He developed first as printer,
then a newspaper reporter There are
not a few men in each class but 1t is

after Mr.. Moore was born in Scranton.

into the office Of Binghamton newspaper
and learned the printers trade. He also
did reportorial work in Binghamton.
At banquet OF the Aero Club of Amer
lea In New York last year Mr. Moore
told of his first and only ballconing eN-
perience. It was in 1884. when he was
on reportorial assignment. y trapeZe
performing balloonist named Donaldson
arrived in Binghamton and Moore thought
it would be an excellent plan to make an
ascension. He did so. and the experience
was full of the thrills that make good
copy. When over the Chenanago river

can fly" was the reply of the future
weather expert. But there was no oc-
casion for either. as a safe descent was
made to dry ground.
This experience did not lead Mr.. Moore
to abandon journalism as n profession

employed there on the IaWkeye. He OBJ
