Railroads during the week made
some excellent reports, which show
a steadily increasing earning ca.
pacity. The last three months show
good Improvements.
The sharp breaks early in the week
were followed by almost equally as
sharp rallies and the week was one
of violent fluctuations, due to unnec.
essary alarm over situation that
one might say was in way artificial
and manufactured by some big men
for political effect. The market made

TO STUDY UPPER AIR,
An Observation Station to Be Erected
on Top of Mt. Whitney.

San Francisco. Cal, July IA
meteorological and astronomical OBJ
servation station at an altitude of
about $4,000 feet is to be erected on
Mount Whitney by the Smithsonian
institution. The work of preparing
the trail up the mountain over which
the material will be transported by
pack mules is already under way. 1t
is expected that the station, which
will be temporary, will be completed
by the first of September, when Pro-
fessor w. w. Campbell and Profess
son Abbott of the Lick Observatory
will go to Mount Whitney to make
spectrOscopic observations and data
will also be gathered on atmospheric
conditions at that altitude.
Professor Alexander G. McAdie, in
charge of the local weather bureau,
stated that while the proposed sta
ton on Mount Whitney will be mere
~ a shelter, it is hoped that it will
be the beginning of an observatory
which in time will contribute mater
tally to the solution of the problems
