APRIL FORECAST
Month Will Be Cool in Early Part and
Springlike Later On.

Peter r. Smith predicts the following
weather for April:
The early part of April will most
likely be wet and cool, touched with a
wintry tinge. The forces that will be
in touch with the Easter storms will
have expended their forces and spring
like settled weather will come.,to the
front about the 18th of the month.
However, keep your early plants under
cover, for frosts will show their whlten-
ed locks till the 10th or 18th of May on
elevations 1000 or l,5O0 feet above sea
level in many sections of central parts
The temperature will change to
warmer on or about the End or 3rd,
which will be followed by cloudiness
The possibilities denote hail, which will
appear in number of places, and also
snow on the northern rim of the wave.
Frosts will follow on the heels of the
storm. In southern parts high winds
are likely to prevail.
The 8th, 9th and 10th denote unset
tied, cloudy weather. The atmosphere
will be saturated with much humidity,
which will bring on rain ..and then be
followed by more cool weather and
frosts.
The 14th, 18th, 10Th and 18th will be
period of cloudy weather attended by
warm spring rains; then at the close of
the period cool, frosty nights are likely
to follow.
On the Dist, 22nd and 23rd threaten
ing weather will show up with thunder
storms At the close of this storm
period sharp change in the tempera-
ture will be noted and more frosts will
show up.
A storm wave will be central on the
9th, 28th and 10Th, which will bring
more spring showers and a change to
much cooler weather as April passes to
May.

ARMY CAMP SITE
NOT YET SELECTED
Enormously Reported That Gettys-
burg Had Been Chosen BY
the Department.

That Garrett county still has fight
ing chance of securing the summer
camping site for the army maneuvres
of the Government and State troops of
the Department of the East, Is con-
tanned in a letter received yesterday
morning by Lieut.. E. S. West from
Capt. B. H. Wells. who was here last
week looking over che ground
The day after Capt. Wells visited
Oakland a Baltimore newspaper pub
lished under a Washington date line
that Gettysburg had been selected by
the department for the camp and i'm
mediately telegram was sent to Capt.
Wells from Oakland asking for a con-
firmation of the report. Capt. Wells
letter was in answer to the telegram
and in it he said There is no author
ity that know of for the newspaper
article regarding the selection of Get
tysburg. The matter stands just as it
did when was with you. My
personal preference so far as country
goes is still for your beautiful location
IN the Alleghenies. The matter of
transportation expenses will have to be
figured on quite extensively, no doubt,
before decision is reached"
Following the visit of Capt. Wells to
Oakland and an invitation to the lane
owners to meet representatives of the
Oakland Board of Trade on Saturday to
petition the War Department to select
this section as the camp site and to sign
agreements covering damage to lands,
etc, large number of owners were in
town and without an exception all who
were approached readily signed the pa
pers and they were forwarded to the
Department the same night.

FOREST FIRES IN GARRETT COUNTY
Last Year Nearly 1900 AGREE We're
Burned Over By Is Fires.

Last year fires in Garrett county for
ests, reported to the State Forester.
totalIed thirteen in number, and the
area burned over consisted of 1861 acres
with an estimated damage amounting to
$22O4
Just at this time fires are burning in
nearly every section Of Garrett county
and the damage resulting therefrom
will be serious to owners. These spring
fires, as a rule are more destructive
than those in the autumn, because the
trees in the spring have come out of the
dormant state OF winter and begun the
growth activities of another season
when the buds and bark are easily in
jured.
The smoke from the fires now in pro-
gress is so dense that the sun and moon
are beth obscured to a great extent and
for a few days past many have com
planned of a burning sensation in their
eyes and nostrils.
As a result of the fires the state for
ester has sent out warnings to the pub
lie citing the forest laws wherein it
makes it misdemeanor, punishable by
fine and Imprisonment for any one to
allow fire to escape from his own lands
to those of his neighbor. 1t is, there
fore, of the greatest Importance in the
burning of brush, the firing of marshes,
or the burning off old fields, that every
precaution be taken to prevent the
spread of the fire beyond the limits
marked. The State Forest Wardens
are authorized to take all necessary
steps to extinguish fires when they
occur, and the local warden should
be notified in every case when a
fire Is beyond control, in order that
prompt action may be taken. But the
best way to deal with forest fires is to
prevent them, and thatican only be done
by cooperating with the state and coun-
ty officials in the strict enforcement of
our fire laws. which are ample to deal
with any cases that may arise.
The damage from forest fires for
1909, as reported by the forest wardens,
shows the seriousness of this matter.
There were "a fires reported, which
burned oyer 23.277 acres of woodland
and caused damage of $50, 200. This
does not include all the fires that occur
red, nor does it cover the full loss to
young growth, which would add consid-
erably more to the above estimate.
Thirty of the fires reported were eXtin-
guished by the forest wardens and the
assistants they employed at a total cost
of 1857. which was paid by the several
counties in which the fires occurred. II
would be difficult to find a greater re-
turn for so small an expenditure of pub
liz money

How Far Can You See?

What is the farthest limit to which
the human vision can reach? Power in
his book, 1.-The Eye and Sight, gives
the ability to see the star Alcor. stu
ated at the tail of the Great Bear, as
the test. Indeed, the Arabs call it the
Test star 1t is most exceptional to be
able to see Jupiter's satellites with the
naked eye, though one or two cases are
recorded, the third satellite being the
most distinct. Peruvians are said to
be the longest sighted race on earth.
Humboldt records a case where these
Indians perceived human figure Is
miles away, being able to recognize
that it was human and clad in white.
This is probably the record for far
sight.
